There is another holiday favorite. It can be done up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated till the serving time.
The least thing you want to do on Christmas morning or morning after New Year celebration is to cook. I hate the whole idea of spending hours in the kitchen rather than being with my family and sharing my son’s… Continue reading →
This is my variation of Nick Malgieri’s recipe for Vanilla Pretzels, from his “Cookies Unlimited”. The cookies are not as hard and crunchy as the most of similar shaped cookies. They even stay cakey and tender in the middle.
The cookies are big, sweet, mildly spiced, crisp, and crunchy but not hard. They go well with anything – milk, coffee or tea. I like to crush them over ice-cream or even yogurt. The cookies are the great keepers, they… Continue reading →

I’m always pleased with Alice Medrich’s recipes. This roulade is not an exception. The flavor, texture and presentation are all marvelous. The dessert can be made in advance and, definitely, it’s worth to be served during holidays. I adapted the… Continue reading →
This is the easiest chocolate dessert and also the fastest to prepare. Although it needs 2 hours of chilling time. Sure, the flavor greatly depends on the quality of the ingredients, so buy excellent chocolate and you will get wonderfully… Continue reading →
These are fun to make but the shaping process takes some time. Start when you are not in a hurry and enjoy. The pretzels are pretty and delicious.
