I’ll take whatever compliments I can get, but yesterday I got the ultimate. Or at least the pie did. Todd said this one, adapted from Pies & Tarts (Maida Heatter Classic Library) was the best he’d ever eaten. It was a nice surprise because I was a little worried this pie wouldn’t work out.

A few days ago I made a butterscotch pie from one of my favorite cookbooks, Classic Home Desserts. The pie tasted great, but it was slightly runny when cut. I’m not sure if this was because I used 2% milk or if that’s just how the recipe is supposed to be, but I decided to [...]

My mom dropped by yesterday, and since she’s always open to trying experiments, I made her this lemon cake. Keeping with this week’s theme of baking accidents, I forgot to add the baking soda and had to pull the cake out of the oven and stir it into the hot batter. Despite that, …
