Black and White Cream Pie
Ready for some new shenanigans? How about we start with pie? When I first started cooking I used to make something called “Oreo Pie”. It was made with an Oreo crust, chocolate and vanilla instant pudding, and whipped topping. It was easy, it tasted pretty good, and when sliced it looked fairly impressive. That pie was my beginner attempt at recipe creation and it was always popular. Now, many years later, I make...
Evil Shenanigans in NYC … Part 2
When we left off last time I had just checked into the Hotel Ganesvoort and had gotten some pretty sweet swag thanks to Electrolux! We rejoin the story the day after the Super Bowl win of the Saints, a fantastic meal at The Fatty Crab, and a very relaxing massage at the hotel spa. The evening before the cake event was a welcome reception at The Spotted Pig, a gastro pub run by Chef April Bloomfield. The reception was held in what...

It seemed within a few moments my face and legs were completely numb with cold. We met the driver at baggage claim and once we had our bags we were off.

Sliders
Do you want to know the secret to super juicy burgers? Would you believe that these juicy burgers have only two ingredients?? I am going to share the secret to the most juicy burgers you have ever eaten. It is so simple. It also goes against everything I have ever read about making juicy hamburgers. I was a sceptic, I admit, until I tired it. Now, I am sold and if you try it I think you will be, too! The secret is salt. ...
Chocolate Cream Filled Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Frosting
I have discovered the secret to world peace. Ok, maybe not world peace, but at least momentary joy and happiness. I have been toying with the idea of a chocolate filled vanilla cupcake for a while. As it happens I have a soft spot for cream filled cupcakes, considering one is now my logo, and it made sense that I try to make a reverse version. The results were far better than I could have hoped. The vanilla bean, aside from tasting...
