Raisin Walnut Rolls

January 16, 2012

We’ve been in our new place for over 2 months; it really is time I share at least one picture, eh? There. That feels much better. As you can see, our new home is….well, it’s magical for us. We wake up every morning totally tickled at how fortunate we’ve been to find, acquire, and inhabit [...]

This past week, we had the first day of what actually felt like fall in DC. Went for a run through Rock Creek Park with a friend, and barely broke a sweat, the air was so crisp. Walked out of the house in a sweater, and boots, and a scarf. All three! At once! We’ll [...]

Behold the strangeness of za’atar. Za’atar is an herb. Sorry – it’s not a specific herb, but one of any number of herbs in the hyssop family. Scratch that: it’s a combination of herbs. But wait, sometimes there are sesame seeds. Actually, it’s a paste made with some type or type of herbs, sesame seeds, [...]

The Dupont Circle farmers’ market has a bread stand. They make all sorts of bread, from tangy sourdough to crusty boule to grainy raisin walnut and beyond. The line to buy bread at the market starts forming around 8:30, and by 9am, it’s pretty darn long. People spend 30 minutes just waiting in that line. [...]

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for Saturday to come. I’d like to say I loved the break from homework and the chance to spend time outdoors, but really, it was just the Babka. Green’s Babka, specifically. The chocolate came in the blue wrapper; if you wanted cinnamon, you went for the green. [...]

Thin Crust Pizza

I’ve tried making pizza on several occasions. Every time, as I bite into a not-quite-crunchy crust and get a lick of too-thick tomato sauce on my tongue, I wonder why we didn’t just hop on the 96 bus and get off at Two Amys, the best pizza in town. Well, all that’s changed. Armed with [...]

No-Knead Bread

The first morning after the snow started, I woke up in a bit of a frantic state. I knew there’d be no way to get to work, so rushing to the office was off the table. I had plenty of work to do, but the commute downstairs to my couch is about the length of [...]

Carrot-Zucchini Bread

October 1, 2009

This is the kind of recipe I live for. It reminds me of those really good bran muffins you find at local coffee shops, with the nutty, wholesome flavors and tops that crust around the edges and never are perfectly round. It’s got a more well-defined crumb than carrot kugel, but it’s not as sweet [...]
