    Part Cookie, Part Pastry, All Delicious! Malted Milk Chocolate Rugelach

This version, a classic chocolate rugelach bolstered with the flavors of creamy milk chocolate and malted milk powder, has a nostalgic flavor and tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that will shine at any cookie swap.

    Jolie Laide

    Jolie Laide

    In French, "jolie laide" means "pretty and ugly"; it's a way to describe something that is unconventionally beautiful.

(Bruised tomatoes may not be the most slightly, but they make a great sauce!) We'll examine the notion of perfection of taste vs. perfection of image

Cookbooks

Not a review, just a comment on the cookbook episode. I wish the recipes and cookbooks did a better job of meal planning. Example, if you got a burrito recipe and there are references to a rice dish is on page 84 and another’s complementary dish on page 27 that would be awesome.

Just opinions
