#Bundtamonth: Espresso Swirled Bundt Cake

June 7, 2013 By Laura 19 Comments

Swirls! Hard to believe, but as many pound and bundt cakes as I have baked, and I have never done swirls! They actually intimidate me a little, so I was torn between happiness and trepidation when the Bundt A Month crew announced “Swirled” as the theme for June. My first attempt as a matter of…

Double Chocolate Chip and Cappuccino Crunch Cookies

Double Chocolate Chip & Cappuccino Crunch Cookies

I feel kind of like a cheat, sharing these right after the Snickers Cookies, but I made them both for the same canceled picnic and they were both too good not to share. Having said that, we discovered the picnic was canceled after the Snickers Cookies were baked but before these were, although I had made…

Chocolate Glazed Latte Cake

January 23, 2013 By Laura 15 Comments

This place has been dessert central lately. Don’t fret, I have not given up my beef braising, curry paste pounding, bean cooking ways. But this has been a hell of a winter for germs, and as long time readers know, I am the original germ magnet. Why is that relevant? Because baking is fun, relaxing,…

Espresso Hazelnut Lace Cookies

December 30, 2011 By Laura 10 Comments

I am so sorry I did not get this post to you in time for Christmas cookies.  I made the plain hazelnut version with my mom, sent two thirds home with her (she and my dad love these cookies) and I kept one third, figuring I would photograph them in a day or two.

Espresso Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot

Espresso Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot

The sad truth is that I have published this recipe before.  The even sadder truth is that I published it without photos, and that has bothered me so much to this day that I finally could not stand it any more, and decided to re-publish it.  Since I have made these cookies every single Christmas…

Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows

December 3, 2009 By Laura 22 Comments

Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows with miniature chocolate chips

Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows are the best marshmallows I have ever tried for eating out of hand. They are a perfect festive treat to add to your holiday cookie tins! [Note: I updated the photos in December 2016.] I would not normally post such a similar recipe so close to the previous similar recipe. This is…

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…
