Nick has perfected many recipes in our Rick Bayless cookbook collection, but this is one of my favorites.

Monthly Archives: November 2009From the archives. I don't know about you, but my Thanksgivings don't feel quite complete until I am sinking my teeth into a slice of pumpkin pie. There are dozens of recipes out there, but this is my favorite. The molasses gives depth to the creamy, delicately spiced filling, making this a subtle riff on […] show 3 comments Pumpkin pie is my absolute favorite! I actually choose it over cake for my birthday. This sounds like a delicious version too, with the molasses. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Gemma. I was unhappy with my pumpkin pie choice this year. Made the whole day sucky..lol! Not really, pie is not that important – but close. Thanks Terry. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well. I’m with you on the pie over birthday cake selection! Popovers are one of my favorite additions to a weekend breakfast. These airy, eggy breads look impressive, but are fairly easy to prepare. The one caveat is that, in my experience, investing in a real popover pan like the one pictured makes a huge difference. In an effort to avoid a single-use piece of equipment, […] show 4 comments Those look delicious! I don’t have any space in my kitchen for a popover pan at present, but I have a feeling it will be one of my first purchases in my soon-to-be bigger kitchen. Yum! Thanks Jaclyn! It is a pain to have cooking equipment that only has one real purpose, but I just love popovers and I’m willing to make an exception for them. Have fun in your new kitchen and let me know if you give them a try! Mmmm! Now I need a popover pan!! Could I add lemon zest, vanilla and a bit of sugar if i want them more sweet for sunday brunches? Hi Alex-Sandra, I think that would work just fine. Though, go easy on the additions so that you don’t add too much weight to the dough.

Hi Alex-Sandra, I think that would work just fine. Though, go easy on the additions so that you don’t add too much weight to the dough. When Nick and I visited Buenos Aires this past summer, we fell in love with alfajores – dulce de leche cookies. On our last day, we picked up a giant jar of dulce de leche in the San Telmo neighborhood so that we could try making our own back in Chicago. Nick beat me to […] show 15 comments yay! thanks, Nick for baking & Gemma for sharing. I have a friend who spent quite a bit of time in Argentina and still has cravings for all of the food. I’m going to make these to surprise him! yay! thanks, Nick for baking & Gemma for sharing. I have a friend who spent quite a bit of time in Argentina and still has cravings for all of the food.

My husband is from Uruguay, and at earlier this year we sent them home with our wedding guests: Hi Nishta, I am so glad they worked out well for you. I absolutely love these cookies and I’m glad Nick let me share them with everyone! I’m also glad to hear that the Not Without Salt method worked for you. That is the route we are going once our Argentine supply runs out. Sea salt is a brilliant idea! I may have to try that. Hi Nishta, I am so glad they worked out well for you.

JoLynn - That looks like a good recipe worth trying. I wanted to know what you think about David Chang’s new cookbook-Momofuku? Worth buying?

Terry, at Blue Kitchen - Marion saw this and sent me the link with the subject line “OMG!!!” Wow. I think I just saw Jesus, Gemma. We’re not religious people. What have you done to us?

Elizabeth - Wow! I love sweet potatoes and this looks fabulous. Too many sweet potato recipes are too sweet for me. I boycott the marshmellow one at Thanksgiving. Looking forward to trying it out.

Gemma - Thanks JoLynn. I definitely think it is worth trying. Regarding Momofuku, I haven’t had a chance to page through it yet, but next time I am at the book store I definitely will. Chang is usually creating exciting recipes, so I bet it is good.
Thanks Terry and Marion! I hope you give it a try. It’s a great recipe. I hope your Chicago winter is off to a good start.
I completely agree Elizabeth. While I love sweet potatoes, many dishes using them are often too sweet for me. I definitely recommend giving this one a try!
