One of the great joys of being a cook and baker is a natural blessing of curiousity. After months and months of making soups and stews and mostly vegetarian fare, I was browsing through a new cookbook . . .

What's that, you say? Well, it's what the British often use instead of jam. I've found it delightful on English muffins, as well as fresh bowls of strawberries and blueberries, . . .

The last few days I've been tinkering with a recipe for a coffeecake muffin. I had a serious hankering for one of those little cellophane-wrapped coffeecakes, which I know are loaded with preservatives . . .

It's a rainy, rainy day. The air is raw and chilly; feeding the woodstove keeps the kitchen warm and cozy . I've been mulling about for a pumpkin chocolate chip SOMETHING for a while, and suddenly realized . . .

It's peach season! And I've been making lots and lots of these little peach pies. I suppose I should officially call them cobblers, since they don't have a bottom crust, but I . . .
