In my previous post I wrote about one of Ina Garten’s recipes, Chocolate Orange Mousse,  in her wonderful book,  Barefoot in Paris.   I didn’t give Ina’s recipe my usual rave reviews because it fell short of my expectations from reading the recipe and I was disappointed.  I have to be honest and confess that [...]

I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later.  I use Ina Garten’s cookbooks all the time and have tried so many of the recipes in them that I take for granted they all will turn out the way I picture them in my mind.  It isn’t that this recipe isn’t delicious, it just [...]

Pin It There are few baking experiences more satisfying than making a loaf of bread.  Nothing fancy – a tall, golden brown loaf with a delicate crumb is so simple and rewarding, and the aroma of it baking in the oven fills the house with love and comfort.  Last Christmas my good friend, Debby, at A [...]
