I’ve been wanting to attempt this dessert since having it at Le Bal Café a few weeks ago, and Friday’s nuptials seemed like a good occasion to try a little bit of British dessert cookery.

Though I generally prefer dark chocolate, there’s no denying that milk chocolate pairs very well with certain flavors. Peanut butter and bananas, for example.

This salad is stupidly delicious.

The idea of a hot drink on a hot afternoon is not always so appealing. The solution? Espresso granita, a.k.a. the easiest thing in the world to make.

I put cream cheese frosting in the same category as basil pesto, Bordier butter and aïoli, and that category is called You Could Spread This On Anything And I Would Eat It.

I eat in restaurants regularly. I love cooking big meals for friends. But when I am home alone, this is the kind of thing that I like to eat.
