Here are a couple more tasty treats that I made from Dolce Italiano, Gina de Palma’s dessert book that is simply extraordinary. Each recipe has been unique and awesome so far, and I look forward to exploring all of them.
Here is her Grappa Soaked Sponge Cake. I had no grappa, so I used brandy, and [...]

This Passover I tried my hand at Marcy Goldman’s chocolate-covered toffee matzo that is presently the rage on some of my favorite food blogs. This recipe is not only easy to make; it really takes Passover desserts up to the next level. The outstanding level. Make some today, but be warned - try and eat just one piece. Cannot.Be.Done. I have made [...]

Macaroons are a staple at every Passover seder - a chewy or crisp cookie made with no flour at all. The ones shown here are made from ground almonds, and only have 4 ingredients! Easy to make with a food processor, these macaroons bake up in a flash, and are crisp on the outside with a [...]

With the Passover festivities in full swing, it seemed only fitting that a cheesecake be served for one of our desserts. This one uses my patented soy cheesecake recipe, but with a twist on the crust and the topping. I made a flour-free crust (recipe to follow), and then I purchased those delicious-looking strawberries that you can find [...]

Whenever I want to put a quick and delicious cake together. I always turn to this recipe from Beth Kidder’s The Milk-Free Kitchen. There’s no dairy products used to make it; in fact, it’s completely vegan, using no eggs either. But moist and tasty? Yes indeed, and instantly loved by all who’ve eaten it. Enjoy!

Choco-alert! Here’s a new spin on biscotti. They’re brownie-inspired, and will hit you in just the right spot. Adjusting my basic biscotti recipe, I added some cocoa, nuts, and chocolate chips, and the results were indescribably good! Enjoy!

Biscotti have become a family fav dessert around here, and I just love trying new variations on a theme. Here, I mixed in chopped toasted nuts with chocolate chips and coffee, to create a sensational and irresistible nibble (or two) for dessert. Enjoy!

This is a recipe modified from Martha Stewart’s cookbook The New Classics. The only alteration I made was to coat the pan with margarine instead of butter. It has a candied orange topping, which I found to be a little too bitter for my taste, despite the candy-ing. The actual cake was delicious, and infused [...]

I have fallen in love with biscotti this winter, and they’re so easy to make. After my family “inhaled” my original batch of cherry-walnut biscotti, and then gave rave reviews with my pistachio-apricot biscotti, I thought it was high time to try a new and inviting combo of flavors. The basic recipe stays the same (see the basic [...]
