Here’s why these are the very BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies around.
Using butter two ways (browned and softened) helps create a chewy and crisp texture. Chewy on the outside and crisp around the edges.
Adding just a touch more than 2 cups of all-purpose flour helps maintain the not-totally-flat-and-frustrating quality of the cookie.
Brown sugar and an extra kick of molasses lend depth to the sweetness.
Dark chocolate and a touch of sea salt pair bitterness and salty tang to the sweet cookies.
They’re perfect because of brown butter, sea salt…

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

A dish that was first prepared for me by the lovely Kumbu Kim. It is simple, but warming, light and delicious.

Serve with basmati rice and maybe a little Sweet Thai Chili Sauce to spice it up.

This is also just a great chocolate cake recipe. The cake is moist and delicious!

Makes 20 to 24 cupcakes

You can bake the cupcakes a week or two in advance and store them, well wrapped, in the freezer. You can also fill them before you freeze them. They also keep filled — or filled and frosted — in the fridge for a day. (Longer, they will start to get stale.)

“Sweet dark plums are wrapped in a potato dough, and boiled before rolling in sweetened toasted bread crumbs. My Austrian grandmother made these delicious dessert dumplings for us every fall. These take some time to make, but to me, they’re well worth the effort.”

Yummy frittata with lots of veggies. I usually use about twice the amount of peppers and mushrooms as called for in the recipe and sometimes an extra zucchini, too. One of the ingredients in the recipe is liquid egg substitute. I never have this on hand and have a hard time finding it, so I just throw in a couple of extra eggs depending on how many vegetables I’ve used.

Very moist banana bread. My favorite recipe for banana bread now. You can easily substitute some or all of the white flour for wheat flour because the bread is so moist.
