You there! Yes, you! You with the computer! Do you like pancakes? Yeah? How about crêpes? Alright, do you like fire? Well then do I have a meal for you… I sometimes get the feeling that Hungarian food is a tough sell in America, maybe because the first thing people think of is not any [...]

Ooey Gooey Double Chocolate Cookies
Posted in Dessert, Recipe, Vegetarian on May 20th, 2010
What is it with me and ooey gooey baked goods lately? Maybe that is a question with an answer so obvious it doesn’t even need asking. Because who doesn’t love an ooey gooey baked good? It is interesting, though, this spate of “ooey gooey” titled recipes. Clearly, the word is out. These cookies, I have [...]
Flourless Mexican Chocolate Cake with Creme Anglaise
Posted in Dessert, Recipe, Vegetarian on Dec 30th, 2009
Happy soon-to-be 2010, lovelies! Actually, truth be told, I’m a bit of a new year’s grinch — I find the holiday to get really overhyped and become really unpleasant the more parties I try to cram in to one night. Give me any old Friday night over New Year’s, any year (even the end of [...]
Oreo-Brownie Cheesecake Extravaganza
Posted in Dessert, Raves, Vegetarian on Jul 5th, 2009
For a birthday a few weeks ago, I received a request for cheesecake. Since I can apparently never resist the urge to tease someone, even when not in my best interest, I of course responded with, “Well, what would you do if I made chocolate cake instead?” He said, only half-kidding, that he would cry.

Ladies and gentlemen of the internet, today I bring you a recipe that is not something I have ever cooked myself, but is instead something I found myself sitting in front of last weekend. That’s right, in addition to being the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, last Sunday was also the day my auto [...]
I consider myself an authority on cookies. I’ve garnered my expertise through years of experimentation and an appalling diet. If you are writing a dissertation entitled, Cookie: a phenomenological analysis of flat, sweetened dough, you may quote me on this: Cookies are f*c*ing delicious. They are prime baked goods because their manageable, hand-held size lets [...]
Dinner for the Roommates, pt. 3: Chocolate Pudding for Dessert
Posted in Cheap, Dessert, Raves, Recipe, Vegetarian on Oct 13th, 2008
Finally, the meal that began last week with fig jam h’ors doeuvres and sparkling wine and pork roast with collard greens and polenta comes to a close. And what better way to usher in fall and winter, and to bring a comforting, cozy meal to an end, than homemade chocolate pudding? Everyone loves chocolate pudding, [...]
Happy Passover, everybody! So, we once again celebrate the Jews’ continued survival with a week of not eating leavened products. For the way most people — and food magazines and newspaper columns — go on, you’d think this was a greater hardship than the Jews’ slavery in Egypt and subsequent 40 years of wandering through [...]
Now that I have entered the blogosphere, I have been trying to, well, actually read some blogs. And with the wonders of Google reader (which I’m sure all you more technologically-savvy folks know about, but which I find totally amazing), I can actually keep up. I was looking through one of my new favorite cooking [...]
