Food, Glorious Food

Sooner or later, all my conversations inevitably turn to food.

Don’t believe me? Call me up sometime and try to, say, sell me some insurance. I guarantee that before we get off the phone, I’ll be giving you my recipe for blackberry jam. I can’t help it. It’s just how I work.

Perfect example: I was in a meeting a few weeks ago at the office. We finished up our conference call, started chatting as we wrapped up—and somehow wound up talking about stuffed breads. (Really. I have a recipe loosely jotted on the cover of a folder.)

What was the best way to make them? What kind of dough should you use? How can you keep them from bursting, etc…more

the sausage is wrapped inside a prata, making it a Prata Dog. For the
uninitiated, Prata is a kind of flatbread enjoyed throughout Singapore
and Malaysia. Conventionally, it is served along with curry sauce,

Bread pudding is one of those things I have never had. When it comes to dessert I want something that really sounds like dessert, like something rich and chocolatey. Bread for dessert never sounded appealing to me. Maybe this recipe caught my eye because of the chocolate chips…more

Can I just warn you that once you’ve made cinnamon rolls from scratch, you may never be able to buy the tubed ones again…more
