Sometimes the oddest things inspire me to innovate in the kitchen. These madelines were inspired by a moldy, water-logged ceiling, a beloved but long-forgotten item from my kitchen, some fruit on the verge of rotting, and a genius pastry chef.

Dimply Plum Cake Recipe

Bread school is making me feel a little challenged in the social arena these days. Setting aside my newly acquired habit of hauling many loaves of artisan bread around town, still warm from the oven from which I shoveled them just moments before and handing them out to friends, neighbors, former colleagues, and even complete [...]
