Posted on May 24th, 2011 by Sarah

Dutch Apple Pie

Posted on November 1st, 2009 by cliff1976

Can you believe we’ve never made an apple pie before this weekend? Sarah found this recipe. I think it’s a keeper. I like the blend of elements from a traditional apple pie and apple crisp.

If pie ≈ Kuchen and Kuchen ≈ bread, then bread ≈ pie?

And how does Torte figure in here? Sarah’s been experimenting with crusty baked goods lately, ever since she got back from Poland with some equipment. We’ve shied away from pies, quiches and tarts our since having moved to Germany because … Continue reading →

Glühweinapfeltorte (Spiced red wine apple cake)

Posted on November 1st, 2008 by Sarah

Welcome to the lab! We reverse-engineered this cake from one that we bought in a bakery when a couple of friends were coming over for dinner. Any leftover syrup would probably be wonderful on vanilla or dark chocolate ice cream. … Continue reading →

Coconut Cake with 7-Minute Frosting

Posted on June 29th, 2008 by cliff1976

Got inspired to try this one after Carolyn and Max sent over some links to the Food Network’s “Good Eats” show on YouTube. I’d read others’ raves about Alton Brown and the show, and I guess it’s a good thing … Continue reading →

Easy Peach Cobbler

Posted on June 14th, 2008 by cliff1976

This one gets the record for shortest duration from the point of recognizing the need to delivering a finished product — mostly because we had all the ingredients at home at the ready. We’d had a big jar of peaches … Continue reading →

Posted on June 2nd, 2008 by Sarah

I was tasked with finding a dessert for the grill party this past weekend. I thought we might have something that would work in the recipes already posted, but it has been witheringly hot for the past several days and … Continue reading →

Flourless chocolate cupcakes

Posted on April 27th, 2008 by Sarah

Banana Cookies

Posted on April 20th, 2008 by cliff1976

We’ve been on a bit of a banana kick lately, I guess. This recipe was inspired by this one, but we changed it up by using half brown sugar and half white sugar. That concept came from our pal Andrea, … Continue reading →
