A chick with a whisk and a couple bricks of butter
I spent most of the day and evening cooking yesterday. When I heard the news about Anthony Bourdain, I was absolutely crushed. Like so many others, he brought different cultures and their food into our living rooms and our phone screens. He was one of my favourite writers and could hook me with his vivid … Continue reading Black Bottom Strawberry Pie
I wanted to expand my rhubarb horizons this year. I'm not going to say that I exhausted my rhubarb pie repertoire (it is something I will never tire of), but you guys know I like a challenge and maybe even some weird stuff (this is not weird and is not as challenging as it looks).
