Sweet Zucchini Beer Bread
Trying to find a sweet zucchini beer bread was a difficult task.
I had to create the bread by mixing two recipes and changing up measurements. This helped me create the full extraordinary taste of this Beer Fusion Sweet Bread.
Salted Caramel Mocha Trifle
Inspired by my favorite coffee drink, this dish has quickly become a family must-have at the holidays
Maple Bacon Cheesecake
One of my favorite original recipes, loved by guests at two of the restaurants I headed the kitchen of.
Not Your Momma’s Lasagna
A very easy lasagna recipe that takes your taste buds on a world tour. This is a unique recipe that I created using ingredients from different parts of the world. It’s not all Italian.
Cherry Dutch Baby
I love pancake houses and often order the Dutch baby. At the local pancake house, the choices are a plain Dutch baby (spritzed with lemon juice) or an apple one. Cherries were in season here in Seattle and I thought to try making a Dutch baby using them as the fruit. But, I had to make it gluten-free so my husband could eat it, too.
Earl grey Choux a la Creme
I lived in Paris for a long time, and my kids were raised there, so this french dessert is a little taste of home. My girls and I have always loved afternoon tea, and we still love small little finger treats you can eat with a delicious cup of tea in the afternoon. This dessert was a way to combine the idea of tea, high tea desserts, and our home in Paris.
Chocolate Soufflé
Ah, the infamous Chocolate Soufflé! This light and airy melt-in-your-mouth dessert is sure to please every palate. I have baked hundreds of soufflés over the years and this recipe will always be an all-time favorite.
Note: always use ½-inch size pieces of chocolate or less to ensure it will fully melt.
For this dish, it is possible to prepare the base up to 12 hours in advance. Reserve the base on the counter at room temperature, until you are ready for service.
Tahini Coconut Cupcakes
I wanted something different than your typical old vanilla or chocolate cake. This tahini coconut cupcake will give your mouth a totally new experience with cake! Don’t be fooled by the tropical sounding name: With it’s warm and nutty notes from the tahini, to the sweet crunch from the coconut you get all the early fall feels!
