Jam and Cream Roll Cake
My favorite thing about cooking is that everything you do in the kitchen is an experiment that just keeps leading me to new ideas. Sure, it is nothing new, and I’m not saying that every moment is an earth-shattering AHA!

Bûche de Noël (aka Yule Log Cake)
Literally translated, “Log of Christmas,” this traditional holiday dessert has roots that date back to ancient European traditions. It is fashioned to look like a yule log, which to celebrate the winter solstice, would be burned in the hearth for

Lemon Curd Tart
Lemony treats are generally associated with spring time flings and hot summer days. I don’t care what season it is, there is never a wrong time to indulge yourself with a slice of this mouth-puckeringly-sweetly-tangy tart. It is the combination

Pear Galette
The wonderful thing about simple and rustic cooking is that not only does is taste great, it never goes out of fashion. In my opinion, a traditional recipe will always outlast the latest trend in culinary what-have-you-nots. Some could

Grapefruit Sorbet
It is the end of September, and if you live in San Francisco, you know what that means: Indian Summer! I love the brief heatwave we get right before the season changes. The days are warm, and the sunsets are

Whipped Cream
When it comes to toppings and condiments, nothing beats a good dollop of this airy, dairy delight. It is fresh and light, and sweet with a kiss of vanilla. If only it paired well with savory dishes… I’d put whipped

Banana Bread
No matter how hard I try, my bananas always seem to ripen quicker than I can eat them. But that’s perfectly okay because now I can make a wonderful loaf of banana bread. Using really ripe bananas is the key:

I’m not from the South, so by no means am I going to attempt to nostalgically reminisce about the delightful memories of coming home from school, with the scent of this peachy dessert wafting through the air as it cools

Tiramisu is one of my favorite cakes, though sometimes its alcohol and raw egg content weirds me out. So here I have devised a version of the beloved Italian dessert that can be enjoyed by all. I actually came up

Chocolate Raspberry Ice-cream
When it comes to ice-cream, I am a big fan of minimal, no-frills flavors. Double-Chocolate-Chunk-Caramel-Swirl-Praline-Cookie-Dough? No thank you! Vanilla is actually my preferred ice-cream of choice. Chocolate comes in a close second. There are ways to enhance traditional flavors without

White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Ice-cream
With spring returning, what better way to celebrate than to have homemade ice-cream. There’s a guilty pleasure I take watching as it churns in the machine, the slow anticipation of seeing it change from liquid form to the frozen state.

When I was in Paris, one of my favorite sweets was the meringue. They come in all sorts of flavor combinations and are literally the size of your head! But despite all that, it could not compare to the delectable
