This may be one of the easiest, simplest, and most elegant desserts you ever make. Looking for a show-stopping, dressed-to-impress post-dinner treat you can wow your quarantine date with? Wanting to spice dinners up after nearly (exactly) a year in semi-lockdowns? This is for YOU. It’s the ever-classic, ever-indulgent Panna cotta, an Italian gift to the world (in addition to so many others), that needs only a handful of ingredients, as many minutes as you can count on two hands, and some lead time. Yes, the only down side is that it needs to set in the fridge for at least 8 hours…but that just means that you won’t have…

The Best Chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gluten free chocolate chip cookies have been my absolute baking nemesis for the last 17 years. I know, it’s a long time to be at-odds with quite possibly the most famous baked good on the face of the planet, but there’s really no where to hide in these miraculously-buttery, chewy, golden, chocolate-studded disks of glorious sugar-highs. And when there’s no where to hide, all of the gluten free troubles (crumbly, dry, that “gluten free flour taste” that just persists) are laid bare in a very un-appetizing way. You can’t just toss together flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and call it a day, you have to pull out all of the stops,…

Gluten Free Black Sesame and White Chocolate Cake
Today is the Day of Remembrance, a day of observance of February 19th, 1942 when the crime against humanity that was the mass internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans, two thirds of whom were native-born American Citizens, first started. Innocent families, children, grandparents, were forcefully relocated into concentration camps primarily on the west coast of the United States. This was all done out of blatant ignorance and cowardice of President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, with the signing of Executive Order 9066, meant to solve the “Japanese Problem.” The irony of creating our very own concentration camps on US soil while fighting a war to…

Gluten Free Tiramisu Layer Cake
This may be the weightiest cake I’ve ever made. It all started with a birthday cake request – always the best ones because it usually means something unique – since we all want something special for our special days – not a plain white or chocolate cake, no simple layers of simple buttercream, no repeat flavors or styles. That’s why I LOVE birthday cakes. This one was no exception. The one flavor note I got for the order was tiramisu, but of course we wanted to go in the classic layer cake direction so those perfect Italian flavors were spun into a four-layer, 9-inch cake with the most frostings, fillings,…

Gluten Free Caramelized White Chocolate Blondies
White chocolate has always been one of those things that I never really got. Why take the chocolate out of chocolate? Why go with just the cocoa butter and a mild, dusty, warm sweetness that lacks the bold depth and bright bite of chocolate chocolate? I must admit, after splurging on some high-quality white chocolate for this and a few other baking projects, I now understand the appeal (though I still prefer a good milk or dark any day). The buttery closeness of a soft, hazy white chocolate is quite delicious. Now, when I started seeing trays of molten white chocolate deepening into rich, sultry caramel colors on so many…

Giant Gluten Free Fudgy Brownies
Brownies. Need I say more? I need not, but I shall. When was the first time you remember experiencing the gloriousness of a warm, impossibly-dense, fudgy brownie? That moment of plunging into the chocolatey depths, only to resurface for a glug of cold milk or an extra spoonful of crisp vanilla ice cream. The rest of the world seems to melt away in that first bite – your peripheral vision compromised with visions of pools of melted chocolate chunks or in the velvety darkness of that center brownie piece. And then the satisfying chew of the caramelized edges. The most wonderful square you’ll ever eat. Brownies also happen to be…

Gluten Free Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes
I don’t know why I never buy orange creamsicles – they’re FABULOUS. If you, too, have fond memories of these perfectly-orangey, perfectly vanilly popsicles, these are the cupcakes for you. For the life of me, I can’t remember the first time I had one of those beacons of cold creamy orange bars, but I do know that on every school field trip I’d hope that the treat at the end of the day wouldn’t be those twin cherry/strawberry/lime ice cream bars but a glorious orange creamsicle. There’s something about the smooth center and bright, peachy orange outside. So, here I am in my late 20s, continuing on the theme of…
