We are incredibly lucky in Charlottesville to have fresh produce so many months of the year. In the fall, there is an abundance of apples, so we include them in many of our breakfasts, then send guests out to pick their own at one of our local farms. This pancake recipe is a bit different, as there is no cinnamon, but lots of citrus flavor, making it a bit less sweet than you might imagine.…... view full recipe
We are always on the hunt for a new and different breakfast entree for our guests. This baked egg dish is a brand new guest favorite! You can try different kinds of pesto that you may have on hand, but we prefer basil pesto. Baking time can be adapted depending on whether you like eggs cooked through or softer.... view full recipe
This is a great recipe and we are so grateful to Cook’s Illustrated that they shared it online. It’s rare that we find a recipe and don’t feel it needs some tweaking. We only reduced the amount of cream of tartar by half as we like the slightly torn look of the soufflés. You can also skip the cream of tartar altogether, but the soufflés will deflate more and not look quite so appealing if…... view full recipe
This is one of our guest's favorite cookies! And funnily enough, I found it in a German cookbook (by Tanja Dusy) which is called "US-Bakery." Whenever we put them out, they are gone very quickly. They are chewy in the center, and very, very chocolatey! That's the point of a chocolate cookie, don't you agree! Make sure you don't bake the cookies too long; they will be gooey in the middle when you take them…... view full recipe

Since I am always looking for new cookie ideas I was fascinated when I stumbled upon a Corn Cookie that is sold at Momofuku Milk Bar in New York City. Christina Tosi developed the recipe for this very popular cookie. I loved it the first time I tried it. However, I wanted a bit more depth to the flavor instead of just corn & sweetness. So I experimented with several herbs and spices that go…... view full recipe
Caramel Walnut Blondie Cookies
With a name like this these cookies have a lot to live up to! I love Blondies but don't always want to have a bar cookie. So I took some of the same flavorings as the bars and made them into a drop cookie. Normally I use pecans in my Blondies but decided to mix it up and use walnuts instead. Instant hit with Dan and the guests.... view full recipe
Rosemary Shortbread with Red Pepper Jelly
There is something about the favor and aroma of rosemary the signifies the holiday season for me. I found a recipe for Rosemary Shortbread Linzer Cookies with Red Pepper Jelly in the November/December issue of Bake: Baking from Scratch. Of course I adapted it slightly to meet our taste preference (slightly more rosemary, less pepper). We hope you enjoy them!... view full recipe
