HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

October 31, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

Just a quick post to say Happy Halloween, everybody! We painted cookies with some friends–perhaps because of the chaos of 3 2 year olds and 1 3 year old I cannot really say they came out as lovely as my Sunflower Harvest Cookies, but that’s ok. We had a great time. And trick or treat…

Happy World Bread Day!

October 16, 2008 By Laura 2 Comments

Just a quick note to say Happy World Bread Day! Stay tuned for several bread recipes over the next week–including an Indian flat bread, a pumpkin quick bread, and 2 scones. Plus my kids have been wanting some regular old sandwich bread. I would have had at least one of them typed up for today…

This picture pretty much sums it up. I have packed away the rest of my cookbooks, divided into “pack away until the fall” and “do not open but leave accessible”–because after all 3-4 months is a long time, I might need that cookbook devoted entirely to potatoes!

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
