Monthly Archives: July 2008My grandmother, Mary Lou, always brings a delicious applesauce cake to family birthdays. The cake is hearty and wholesome and it is dressed with a decadent penuche frosting — and often a small bouquet of wildflowers. I recently asked her to share the recipe with me and she sent along some family history as well. […] show 5 comments just wanted to say thanks for posting this great recipe! i’m always on the lookout for truly good egg free desserts, as my daughter is allergic. and this cake fits the bill! loved it! What a rough lot for your little girl! I’m glad to have helped add another dessert to her menu. What a great story behind this family recipe :), I’m rarely able to get the measurements for my grandmother’s recipes either. I’d like to include this recipe on our blog, please let me know if you’re interested. Hi Sophie, Thanks for your interest. Feel free to link to this post, but because it is a family recipe, I’d rather not have it reproduced in full. So nice to find this recipe. My maiden name was Petrie and my grandparents whom I never met came from Scotland to the USA years ago then my Dad’s family moved to the Canadian West then my Dad moved on to Nova Scotia where I live now. Nice to think I may be related to this grandmother. lync@eastlink.ca One of our favorite restaurants in Chicago, Hot Doug’s, is hosting a contest to create a new menu offering — and Nick is one of the four finalists selected by Doug himself!

When it is really hot out, I find that I enjoy small snacks in place of large meals. Grazing on nuts, fruits and cheeses with a cool drink in hand is a relaxing way to spend a humid evening. Hummus is a delicious (and quick) addition to any lazy dinner or appetizer spread, and these […] show 4 comments Wow…I really want to try the pea hummus! i love dips in the summertime (anytime, really). they both look so good…the pea one especially. yum. I love your ricotta “hummus” idea! I love all things ricotta. Grazing is a fun way to eat when it’s hot and humid, I agree. We’d like to invite you to participate in our July berry recipe contest.

Amanda - Oh man, that looks absolutely rich and moist ! Tortes are awesome due to the lack of flour and I haven’t made one in months and months. I would probably use 1 cup of preserves instead of 1/2 raspberry liquid though. That’d be ok, right?

Gemma - I’m sure that would be fine. It is possible it would make the final product a bit less moist, but it would definitely be worth a try.

Carolyn - This sounds wonderful! We have a large event coming up, do you think I could freeze The torte until a day or two before the event then thaw & glaze? Or even do the entire thing, glaze and all, and freeze?

Great idea!
