So Dreamy: Rachel Albert-Matesz’s The Ice Dream Cookbook* (and Recipe!)

by Ricki Heller 22 Comments

* Or, Dream a Little Dream of Rich, Creamy, Delectable Frozen Desserts [Dried Apricot Pistachio Ice Dream] When I was contacted about a month ago to see if I’d be interested in examining a review copy of the upcoming The Ice Dream Cookbook by Chef Rachel Albert-Matesz, I have to admit I was a bit hesitant at […]

Zucchini and Pineapple Mini Loaves

by Ricki Heller 36 Comments

You know, there are days when I just marvel at how much my life has been enriched by joining the world of blogging. I’m amazed at how many positive experiences this little outlet for self-expression, culinary creativity and the occasional star-struck reference to my favorite soap opera has brought my way. At the forefront, of course, is […]

Rustic Plum-Topped Cornmeal Breakfast Cake

by Ricki Heller 17 Comments

[Red plums, white(ish) cake, blue(ish) other plums–Happy 4th of July!] Our recent visit to Montreal last week, like most of our road trips, involved a hamper of food to stave off starvation en route.  As is my wont, the night before travelling, I basically ransack the kitchen and tote along anything that’s hardy enough to last the voyage. The list […]

The Staff of the DDD Household*

by Ricki Heller 14 Comments

*No, we haven’t hired servants, silly! I’m talking about bread. Well, last night the HH and I returned from a pre-Canada Day junket to Montreal, where, along with the CFO and the Nurse and her husband, we took my dad out to dinner for his (you may wish to sit down) eighty-seventh birthday.  Eighty seven!  Much […]

Butter Tarts, Glorious and Free (of Eggs and Dairy)

by Ricki Heller 38 Comments

[How about that red and white background?  Pretty patriotic, eh?] There’s an annual event in Montreal called The High Lights Festival in which (among other things) La Belle Ville invites chefs from other world-class cities to cook alongside the Quebeçois culinary masters and exchange ideas. This year (2008), the guest city was the very one […]

Lucky Comestible III (5): Tropical Lemon-Coconut Muffins

by Ricki Heller 32 Comments

[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days.  For this third entry, I’m focusing on Avocados. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]

When Cheesecake is Love*

by Ricki Heller 29 Comments

*apologies to Geneen Roth   [Well, I really hadn’t meant to write about my mother for two entries in a row.  Maybe it was all of your wonderful comments about yesterday’s “mom story”; maybe it was an offshoot of Mother’s Day earlier in the month; maybe I’m just feeling all mushy and sentimental after watching the over-the-top , tear-filled […]

Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free French Toast Souffle with Summer Berries

by Ricki Heller 40 Comments

In my mind, here’s the perfect way to wake up on a Sunday morning: Outside, the weather is balmy. A mild breeze whispers through the slightly opened window, curtains undulating softly with each invisible breath.  The sun makes its presence known through the diaphanous curtain as it tickles the pillows of our bed with little sparkles of laughing light. […]

Close Encounters with Cookies from Another Planet

by Ricki Heller 14 Comments

  [Unretouched photo of unidentified, disk-like objects, hovering in the air over my kitchen table] Before I metthe HH, I’d read exactly one science fiction novel (Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End, when I was about twelve) and seen only the standard TV shows or movies, such as Star Trek (in all its incarnations–though Deep Space really was […]

Polish Lemon Cake*

by Ricki Heller 19 Comments

*Okay, so it’s not really Polish.  But the topping reminded me of a German Chocolate Cake topping, and since (half) my ancestry is Polish, I thought I’d just use the same concept for this cake’s name.    Did you hear the one about the (half) Polish woman who wanted to bake a cake?  Just kidding.
