Pecan pie but gooey, with chocolate. 🙂 Gooey Chocolate Pecan Pie Print Recipe

Fiona and I went through a vegetarian phase and hung out at the only vegetarian cafe in my home town. They served the first muffins I’d ever seen. And in those days the only muffin was a bran muffin. This is Fiona’s version. Fiona Masters Bran Muffins A classic from the days when the only ...

2001

I like crepes – there is something special about the texture. They differ from other pancakes by not having baking powder or baking soda – eggs provide the only rising. I sometimes use them in place of tortillas. This recipe makes 24 x 18 cm crepes, or up to 32 smaller ones. Crepes freeze well ...

Brian’s Japanese, Irish, American Potato Salad

Feb

2001
