Zuccotto with Strawberry Mousse and Strawberry Ganache

This cake is the essence of springtime. Here in LA strawberry season starts in April and the sweet smell permeates the produce section of every market through summer. At just a dollar a pint it’s impossible not to load up every time I go shopping. Even more tempting are the vendors along the Pacific Coast…

Conversation Heart Cakes

Brad and I first started dating two weeks before Valentine’s Day over a decade ago.  After our first week together, he asked if I wanted to go out next Saturday.  Of course I did!  He asked me if I knew what day it was.  Of course I did! Even though our relationship was new, we…

Homemade Marshmallows: Vanilla, Chocolate and Peppermint

December 15, 2014 by Maggie Jones 4 Comments

Giant homemade marshmallows in cocoa

Homemade marshmallows are such a fantastic gift. Inexpensive but incredibly special, I’ve been making them for friends and coworkers the last several years.  I set a record this year with 10 batches – 15 pounds – in a weekend. With a little assembly line action I got these down to less than 25 minutes of…

Vegan Pot de Creme with berries

Fourth of July is my favorite holiday and has been since I was a kid. This year we’re barbecuing with some friends and I volunteered to make dessert. Brad suggested something red, white and blue (to be awesome) but we also need something vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free (to accommodate a variety of diets). Vegan coconut…

Ina Garten’s Lemon Yogurt Cake

Glazed Lemon Bread Loaf Sliced

So, I love cooking – and I’m pretty decent at it – but baking isn’t really my thing. Of the 130+ recipes published on this blog so far, only 2 involve baking and both use a mix. I think the problem is that I like to be a little fast and loose in the kitchen…

Blueberry Almond Chia Seed Pudding

April 14, 2014 by Maggie Jones 5 Comments

Chia seed pudding is my absolute favorite snack right now. The flavor is so addictive I would probably be wearing a mumu if it weren’t so light and healthy.  I love all the variations all over the food blogs right now but this version is what I’m keeping in the fridge these days. Blueberry, almonds…

Berry Limoncello Verrine

April 9, 2014 by Maggie Jones 1 Comment

Limoncello Berry Terrine

I first ran across this recipe for Berrymisu in Sunset two years ago and have been looking for a chance to make it ever since. We’re not big dessert people so it’s been trickier than you’d expect. I thought I’d make it last summer and even bought a bottle of limoncello in anticipation but never…

Apple Cranberry Crisp Cocotte

November 22, 2013 by Maggie Jones 1 Comment

Apple Cranberry Cobbler in individual ramekins

Warm, winter-spiced apples with sweet-tart cranberries and a crisp, buttery crust is the perfect cold weather treat.  The smell of this baking alone is reason enough to make it – never mind that it only takes only 5 minutes to prep. Brad got me these adorable La Creuset Cocottes as an early Christmas present and I…
