One of Anna’s favorite dishes from one of her favorite restaurants, Dunsmoor. From a KCRW interview with the owner: “What’s the key to great cornbread? You need a hot pan, says chef Brian Dunsmoor. His version, which is based on a recipe by Edna Lewis, one of the greats of Southern cooking, incorporates Anaheim chilies (or Hatch, if you’ve got ’em) and cheddar cheese. And butter. Lots and lots of butter. ‘People have described the butter we put on it as slutty,’ Dunsmoor says with a laugh. He also asserts, ‘Cornbread should not be sweet. You put sweet stuff on top of cornbread.’” There’s…

This is the recipe for the scones served at the All Time Restaurant in Los Feliz (where Anna and I had our first date) and taken from their cookbook. These make delicious scones and they really do freeze very well. My only note is that the original recipe calls for too much butter (1 3/4 cups). The first time I made them, I followed the recipe exactly and they were amazing but it did feel like there was a bit too much butter in them. The next time I made them, I reduced the amount of butter by 1/2 cup…

NY Times recipe by Nancy Harmon Jenkins who states, “There’s a kind of magic in a summer recipe that you can make wherever you are, provided that wherever you are has, say, flour, butter, an oven and whatever fruit is most glorious is at that very moment. This strawberry shortcake is so simple that you can make it within the hour, and so satisfying that it may become your go-to for summer, the recipe you keep in your back pocket. Strawberries are the classic choice, but this would also be heavenly in high summer with very ripe peaches or any…

Delicious cake that Cate made for her birthday. Recipe came from Butternut Bakery website which states, “This incredibly fluffy lime cake is soaked in sweetened coconut milk and topped with coconut whipped cream. Think of a cross between a tres leches cake and a poke cake, where it’s not as drenched as tres leches but the soak isn’t thick enough to produce the poke cake effect – all while producing a delicious texture. It’s also incredibly light and not too sweet, making it the perfect easy cake for Summer!”

Recipe shared by Anna’s friend, Cate, from the cookbook “Tartine All Day: Modern Recipes for the Home Cook” which states, “This is a favorite all-purpose dough, inspired by a classic rugelach, in which cream cheese combines with butter to make an extra pliable and slightly tangy dough. Rugelach is an Ashkenazi Jewish sweet with roots in Eastern Europe. The dough is usually spread with a filling of raisins or nuts and rolled into crescents. Because the dough is half the treat and is meant to be both tender and durable, I saw the potential for a gluten-free version to become…
