From the archives. I don't know about you, but my Thanksgivings don't feel quite complete until I am sinking my teeth into a slice of pumpkin pie. There are dozens of recipes out there, but this is my favorite. The molasses gives depth to the creamy, delicately spiced filling, making this a subtle riff on […]

Yearly Archives: 2009Popovers are one of my favorite additions to a weekend breakfast. These airy, eggy breads look impressive, but are fairly easy to prepare. The one caveat is that, in my experience, investing in a real popover pan like the one pictured makes a huge difference. In an effort to avoid a single-use piece of equipment, […] show 4 comments Those look delicious! I don’t have any space in my kitchen for a popover pan at present, but I have a feeling it will be one of my first purchases in my soon-to-be bigger kitchen. Yum! Thanks Jaclyn! It is a pain to have cooking equipment that only has one real purpose, but I just love popovers and I’m willing to make an exception for them. Have fun in your new kitchen and let me know if you give them a try! Mmmm! Now I need a popover pan!! Could I add lemon zest, vanilla and a bit of sugar if i want them more sweet for sunday brunches? Hi Alex-Sandra, I think that would work just fine. Though, go easy on the additions so that you don’t add too much weight to the dough.

When Nick and I visited Buenos Aires this past summer, we fell in love with alfajores – dulce de leche cookies. On our last day, we picked up a giant jar of dulce de leche in the San Telmo neighborhood so that we could try making our own back in Chicago. Nick beat me to […] show 15 comments yay! thanks, Nick for baking & Gemma for sharing. I have a friend who spent quite a bit of time in Argentina and still has cravings for all of the food. I’m going to make these to surprise him! yay! thanks, Nick for baking & Gemma for sharing. I have a friend who spent quite a bit of time in Argentina and still has cravings for all of the food.

My husband is from Uruguay, and at earlier this year we sent them home with our wedding guests: Hi Nishta, I am so glad they worked out well for you. I absolutely love these cookies and I’m glad Nick let me share them with everyone! I’m also glad to hear that the Not Without Salt method worked for you. That is the route we are going once our Argentine supply runs out. Sea salt is a brilliant idea! I may have to try that. Hi Nishta, I am so glad they worked out well for you.

Trying out the can method for the dulce de leche. Thanks for posting this in an easy to find spot, Love. I recently joined fellow Gapers Block food writers at Ras Dashen for a delicious dinner of Ethiopian food. One of the new contributors, Shanna Quinn, mentioned that after reading recipes for homemade candy corn, she experimented with a few to create candy pumpkins. She posted the recipe a few days later and I promptly marked […] show 10 comments This is so cute! I love this idea. But looking at the recipe, I already know it’s over my head. Maybe I can have my friend Kaitlyn (of eatmyblog.org) help me make them. This is so cute! I love this idea. But looking at the recipe, I already know it’s over my head. Maybe I can have my friend Kaitlyn (of eatmyblog.org) help me make them. okay, these are adorable Gemma! I could eat the whole tray but would probably regret it later…for some reason, the pumpkins have always tasted better to me than candy corn–a college boyfriend got me hooked. okay, these are adorable Gemma!

Terry B - Pumpkin pie is my absolute favorite! I actually choose it over cake for my birthday. This sounds like a delicious version too, with the molasses. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Gemma.
Sherry - I was unhappy with my pumpkin pie choice this year. Made the whole day sucky..lol! Not really, pie is not that important – but close.
Gemma - Thanks Terry. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well. I’m with you on the pie over birthday cake selection!
Give this one a try next year, Sherry. I hope it works out better for you!
