These biscotti are full of cocoa powder, cranberries, and chocolate chunks. They remain somewhat soft and delightfully chewy, even after a long second bake.

Sasha Crehan — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 16:00:06 +0000

I have made a lot of panna cotta in my life. It is quick and easy to make, good any time of year, and you can dress it up or down depending on your mood. Traditionally panna cotta is poured into a ramekin or custard cup, and then released upside down onto a dessert plate. […]

Peach Pie with Rhubarb

Sasha Crehan — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 14:04:09 +0000

It took me years to feel confident about making pie dough. I could work myself into a froth just thinking about all of the things that might go wrong. Should I use shortening, butter, a mixture of the two—and what about the elusive leaf lard? Must I add lemon juice, vinegar, or vodka? What if […]
