S'mores Marshmallow Creme Brûlée

Summer is here! And that means camping! And campfires! And campfires mean s'mores!   I'm so excited about honest-to-goodness s'mores!  I know that for just about everything I share here, I gush how much I love it, but it's true.  Why would I share recipes with you that I don't love?  I can't trick you like that, it's just too mean!  And I know you don't need a recipe for s'mores, but my love of s'mores has led me to develop and sample several s'mores spinoffs that can be made sans campfire.  Of course, the original is the best, with the marshmallow toasted over glowing coals of an outdoor fire slowly burning out in the night.  But I crave gooey marshmallow and chocolatey goodness far more often than I have time to find a fire pit, gather wood, start a fire, and let it burn down to prime 'mallow roasting temps.   This is a fancy alternative nearly as delicious as the real thing, and you can serve it to guests without them feeling like they...

GBBO Translation: Mary Berry's Tiramisu Cake

Happy Valentine's Day, my dear readers! I love you all very much and hope you have a beautiful day, whether you're celebrating or not. As promised last time, I'm going to be making Mary Berry's Tiramisu Cake, featured in Dessert week of Series 5, which aired in the United States as Season 1 on PBS or can be found on Netflix US as Collection 1. It was a lovely episode that made me want to eat all the things (okay, all  the episodes of Great British Baking Show make me want to eat all the things, but you get my drift). The tiramisu cake was also featured in the Masterclass season that went with this, available on Netflix as Great British Baking Show Masterclass: Season 1, Epsiode 2, where you can see Mary Berry make it herself. I know it seems like we just did a cake recipe, since the Victoria Sandwich was only about a month ago, but tiramisu is such a beautiful, romantic dessert that I thought it would be nice to go around Valentine's Day. And since Valentine...

GBBO Translation: Wagon Wheels Biscuits

Hello, again! I hope you all survived the ridiculously cold temperatures of this past week! We had it relatively easy with the lowest temperature reaching about 9 degrees. I don't remember what the windchill was, but it was too cold to take Pippin for a walk, so he was fairly pouty all week, but we managed to stay warm. After eating all that  bread  two weeks ago, I thought I would need a break from flour-based goodies for a while, but I dutifully checked my blog schedule and saw what I had previously picked to make next, and I got excited about baking all over again. Well, truth be told, I got excited about eating , but I knew that I would have to bake first, and immediately decided it was well worth it.  Our lovely bake this week comes from the most recent series of the Great British Bake Off/Baking Show (series 9, or available on Netflix in the US as Collection 6), and was the technical challenge from the first week, Biscuits. This bake is Paul Hollywood'...
