17 and Baking Bad 11 Aug 2013 | 09:37 am
They call it cooking meth, but really, it’s a lot more like baking. My dad’s a cook. He’s the kind of person who makes Indian food without a recipe, who can guess every ingredient in a sauce from one...
Cocoa Meringues 19 Jul 2013 | 03:37 am

Coconut Take-Out Rice Pudding 4 Jul 2013 | 03:09 am
I made this coconut rice pudding planning to eat it cold. I was warned about the heat before I moved east for the summer, but growing up in the Pacific Northwest left me helpless. I thought it’d be a...

Last Thanksgiving, with only a few weeks left in my study abroad program, I packed a bag and flew to Barcelona. Although I visited a dozen countries that semester, for the first time I was traveling b...
Condensed Milk Pound Cake 25 Jul 2012 | 08:36 am

I caved the other day and bought a box of raspberries. When I saw the carton at Trader Joe’s, I remembered Bainbridge Island. Our family friends live there, a tiny island off the coast of Washington ...
