Pilgrim Side Dishes

Gobble, gobble! My Friendsgiving Dinner is just a day way and while I’ll be providing the fabulous turkey, I’ve asked my guests to bring along their favorite Pilgrim side dish!

Housed inside Barry’s [...]

Don’t Forget That Powdered Sugar Now…

Buttery, rich and velvety chocolate has my name written all over it. So when I spotted this decadent-looking brownie recipe in a cookbook stirred up in Thomas Keller’s fabulous Ad Hoc restaurant, I knew it just had to be made! Was it the melted butter hugging the cocoa and chopped chocolate into a long kiss? [...]
