Morning bread pudding with salted caramel. We should really talk about this. Promise you won’t get mad, okay? I came across this for the first time twelve years ago. I’ve been blogging here for almost eight years, which means I had ample time to tell you about and just didn’t. (I kinda feel like a kid right now who forgot to mention that they were flunking Spanish until report cards came out. I’m sooo grounded.) It gets worse. I finally made it on New Years Day for brunch and it was promptly declared one of the best things I’ve ever made, which is kind of rude. Enough is enough. Thus, here’s the next thing I need to tell you: There are only two ways to make French toast; the way you made it before you read about this and the way you’ll make it for now on. P.S.

Cheese. A plum assignment: Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe for set cheesecake with greengage compote, plus apricot, walnut and lavender cake. You'd never catch me having fruit at the end of a great meal.

Give me half a bar of dark chocolate any day. The exception to this rule came at my one and only visit to Chez Panisse, the Californian mecca of a restaurant run by Alice Waters. Elsewhere in the world, stone fruit of all kinds – peaches, apricots, nectarines – are revered, but only the plum gets that kind of treatment in the UK. Though Grigson goes on to point out that our best-known plum, the Victoria, is far from the fairest of them all, there's still a sense of mystery and history around the British plum. The Victoria, meanwhile, is better to bake with, simmer into a compote or turn into a chutney.

Happy first day of spring! To celebrate I've made a special treat for you with colorful spring flowers. I've been enamored with edible flowers ever since making candied rose petals earlier this year.

That's why I'm sharing my list of favorite edible flowers. They are all fairly well-known (easy to find) and add a certain something when used sparingly in dessert.

I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face.
It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. You don’t deserve this sort of torture.

This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal.

Brownies in Eggs. Brownie en cáscara de huevo No hace falta que os diga que me gusta bromear. Ya os conté las bromas que les gastábamos a los porteros en la residencia universitaria.
