  Update: Congratulations to our three winners of the Apple Lover Giveaway.  The winners are: Nathan who adores Apple Turnovers, Naomi S. whose favorite apple recipe is Dutch Apple Pie, and Deeba Rajpal who loves Dorie Greenspan’s Apple Cake! The Apple Lover’s Cookbook arrived right on cue the moment I was contemplating Apple Week at Three

  Although we were without power for about twelve hours, we’re already back in business. I’m not complaining, but I hardly had time to put my put culinary survival skills to good use! Anyway, we’re pleased Irene is nearly history. Thank you all for sharing your power outage menus.  The lucky winner of Michelle’s book

Our lucky winner is Juli who says, ” I love chicken on a stick. Small pieces of chicken and potato and pickle sandwiched between and then deep fried. So bad, but so good.” Congrats Juli. We three cooks like the sound of your concoction! What is it about food on a stick? Why do we

(It’s a sunny Saturday morning here at the ranch and Ree’s signature sweet rolls will here in about fifteen minutes! More on our time here next week. In the meantime Arden, Elaine, and Christen are our winners! Congratulations!) It was only two years ago when Maggy and Sharon said, “Mom, it’s time. You’ve got to

When I was asked to look at Washington Post Food Editor Joe Yonan’s book a few months back, I was initially impressed. I gave it gave it a quick look and a thumbs up. Serve Yourself, I said is “brilliant for those who cook and dine alone, but his hip, sensible approach works equally well

  Congratulations to Mariah who makes White chocolate Chiffon cake with whipped cream icing and strawberries. So sweet and lovely! We hope you enjoy Bob’s book as much as we have. I see a lot of cookbooks, but not many that make me smile as much as Bob Blumer’s Glutton For Pleasure. Why should I be surprised?

The winner of the Whole Family Cookbooks is Kirsten. We hope your day of pampering was fun and that the kitchen being off limits to you went well! Last year it was Sharon who wrote our Mother’s Day post. It was so beautifully written it made Mom cry (and I got misty-eyed). I can’t live

Jamie from My Baking Addiction hardly needs an introduction; her blog (like cream) has quickly risen to the top. I have admired Jamie’s blog since before we started our own and I first connected with her when she tweeted a call for “the best” brownie recipes. I replied with Mom’s Fudgey Chewy Cakey Brownie recipe

Two of my dearest friends are visiting this week. They’ve flown from quite a distance for us to be together: one from Oxford, England and another from Sydney, Australia. And as fate would have it, my husband happens to be out of town for the next two weeks, so the timing is perfect. We’re having

Thanks to random.org, we’ve chosen 3 winners–Bonnie, Pat, and Nancy–all who’ve been notified and are just a few days away from receiving a beautiful holiday wreath. My Dad just turned 86 this past Sunday. He and Mom live in a quiet friendly neighborhood on Deer Point Lake in Panama City, FL, nearly 1300 miles from

For food lovers, Georgia Pellegrini’s Food Heroes is the best kind of book. Within its pages are the remarkable stories behind some of the world’s best loved food (and beverage) and delicious recipes to boot. In a world where we are increasingly detached from the sources of food and the processes by which it is made, this book is a delightful reminder of the artisans who never left their roots and the people who gave it all up to get back to them. Pellegrini’s vignettes are an affirmation that the passion of an artisan, be it beer and bees or salami and seeds, matters not only to them but to us all

A few years ago Dad came to visit Andy and me in England. It was early March, that last dreary month of winter. The trees were bare, the last of the snow was melting and everything was grey. But that week a tradition bloomed. One chilly day, Dad and I embarked on a mission: lamb
