Black-Bottomed Almond Mousse Pie with Chocolate Ganache Drizzle

by Ricki Heller 40 Comments

I actually first made this pie quite a while ago (some of you may remember that I posted about it on Facebook), but I’ve been holding on to the recipe, clinging to it like Scrooge gripping his last penny so that I could save it for this very post. Seriously, this is one is a show-stopper, a […]

Raw Apricot Swirl Cheesecake Mini Pies

by Ricki Heller 59 Comments

Back in my callow twenties (and even into my thirties), I was one of those annoyingly punctual people who submitted essays three days early, was always the first one at the restaurant, or who arrived with 30 minutes to spare at the dentist.  I’d cast a scowling glance at friends who arrived late for our meetings, implying that their behavior […]

Last Minute Thanksgiving Ideas

by Ricki Heller 11 Comments

I had intended a lovely post today, in honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving long weekend to the south of us.  But time constraints (read: massive, unwieldly pile of essays and assignments to mark) have prevented me from following through. So I’ll just have to wait till the next batch of holidays in December to post […]

Chocolate Pecan Pie

by Ricki Heller 57 Comments

A few of you keen-eyed readers guessed that yesterday’s final “teaser” photo was of pecan pie.  But since I’m not particularly a “pie person” to begin with (I’ve posted about only one other pie in over a year on this blog–and it wasn’t even my own recipe!), and since I most definitely AM a chocolate person, I decided […]

Such a Tease

by Ricki Heller 26 Comments

I’ve never been what I’d call a “good” flirt.  In high school, I hung out with the nerdy crowd (hard to believe, I know!), so there wasn’t really any opportunity to flirt.  Then, when I was finally old enough to attract the opposite sex in my 20s, it seemed too late to get the hang of […]

Butterscotch Mousse Pie

by Ricki Heller 36 Comments

I have to admit that I was never much of a pie person until very recently. “I mean, really,” I would ask pie-lovers, “What is it if not just an oddly-shaped fruit (or veggie) sandwich? Apples and cinnamon between two layers of crust. Blueberries between two layers of crust. Pumpkin between two layers of crust.”  Bah. Oh, but that was just […]

Cookbook Review: Nava Atlas’s Vegan Express

by Ricki Heller 16 Comments

  As you may know, I was a startled and very delighted recipient of Nava Atlas’s latest cookbook, Vegan Express, as a result of Susan’s contest a while back on Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen.  A couple of weeks ago, I was thrilled to receive the book in the mail, and set about making a whack of recipes […]
