Flour by Joanne Chang">Flour by Joanne Chang
Massachusetts plums are in and to celebrate I made the Clafoutis from Flour. Thank goodness she includes the weight of the fruit. Her six plums are over 400g while 6 of mine was only 130g. I calculated a 1/4 recipe but probably chose the wrong sized pan. Next time I...

In an attempt to finally make pizza on a grill, I've been going over all my various pizza recipes, and I found one that I had copied from an ATK cookbook I got from the library (if there are several, I couldn't tell you which one). This recipe calls for...

Have an amazing spinach/chickpea fritter recipe. They are SO tasty, but highly caloric. Is there a way to use less oil, or to bake them so we can enjoy them more often? Hopefully without compromising on taste/texture.
The ingredients are onion, garlic, chickpeas, spinach, matza meal, salt, egg
Thanks so much!

I know this is a long shot but in 1988 I made a recipe for a stuffed potato. If memory serves me correct, I used small red potatoes. I know the filling had cabbage in it and some type of cheese. They were delicious and I have been trying for...

When I watch chefs and good cooks on tv, I'm so envious of their skills. This blog is the closest I get to cooking, other than the microwave ;)
Try not to drool!
