better chocolate babka – smitten kitchen
Inadvertently, this has become Festivus week on Smitten Kitchen, wherein I air my grievances at past recipes and exhibit what I hope can be passed off as “feats of strength” in reformulating them for modern times. Still, nobody could more surprised than I am that of all the recipes in the archives, it’s Martha Stewart’s decadent chocolate babkas from seven years ago that have ended up in this queue, because at the time we found them beyond reproach: rich, buttery, crumbly and intensely chocolaty.

Clocking in at 3/4 pound of semisweet chocolate and almost a cup of butter per loaf, the recipe in fact uses triple this (2.25 pounds of chocolate!
cinnamon toast french toast + book preview
Guys, I wrote a cookbook. When I was 32 weeks pregnant in the summer of 2009 (in fact, this was overflowing on my kitchen counter during my first meeting across town) and should have been doing normal third trimester things like eating jars of Peanutella by the spoonful and repainting the baseboard trim (which still looks awful, not that this will surprise you), I instead decided that I really wanted to write a cookbook. Because new mothers are swimming in free time (“new babies are always sleeping!”), I thought I would finish the book in six months; nine, tops. Stop laughing.

A breakfast of baked eggs and chanterelles
Eggs en cocotte with chanterelles, leeks and goat cheese I am currently in the Basque Country where we hosted a food and lifestyle photography workshop. I will have to tell you all about it when I return home. It was so intense and beautiful. It felt surreal to share so much of my essence with people from all over the world. We ate non-stop, we worked hard and even crashed a wedding.

Beetroot Bread
Pink bread. Need I say more? My sister’s to blame for this. Apparently she bought beetroot (aka beet) to make soup with potatoes but she used up her potatoes for something else and then didn’t have time to shop for more potatoes….. yada yada…. Long story short, she had beetroot in her fridge and didn’t know what to do with it.
No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls
No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls If cinnamon rolls were kinder to my thighs and my love handles, I’d surely bake them often and nibble little cinnamon roll nibbles until my heart was content. Cinnamon rolls are a rather huge favorite of mine.
