the common cobbler…

Peach, Blueberry & Blackberry Cobbler Originally uploaded by ulterior epicure. Quite a few years ago, I bought a jacket-less cookbook at a used book sale. With the exception of a coffee cup stain on the cover, it was in perfect condition. I thumbed through the recipes with passing interes, noting the simple, yet beautiful photographs, […]

the magical fuzzy factory…

Fuzzies I hate summer. I mean it. I dread the thought of the nasty season all year-round. Summer is the only season that manages to make me focus on its bad side rather than the good. But, inevitably, year after year, despite the hot, humid, nasty, sticky weather, I more than just muddle through. I […]

So, to mitigate over-dosing, I’ve had to come up with unique and varied ways of […]

gianduja…

Gianduja Torte Originally uploaded by ulterior epicure. Gianduja is so good that you can’t help but know there is a God. Although hazelnuts and cocao trees grow continents apart. The former prefer cooler climates (mostly in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia), whereas the latter cluster in the hotter tropics around the equator. Of course, […]
