Chocolate Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti

October 21, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

At our house we like biscotti with a good cup of coffee. In Berkeley (where the freshly roasted coffee craze began in the mid-sixties) there are lots of options for coffee, but nowhere compares to the perfectly made, and perfectly presented, lattes and espressos at Bartavelle … [Read more...]

Multigrain and Seed Biscotti

October 18, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

One of my favorite cookie books is Maida Heatter’s Brand-New Book of Great Cookies. Her recipes are carefully written with detailed instructions that guarantee success. I have often thought that her book would be the one that I would bake straight through--cover to cover. I … [Read more...]

Jasmine Tea Panna Cotta

October 4, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

I have made a lot of panna cotta in my life. It is quick and easy to make, good any time of year, and you can dress it up or down depending on your mood. Traditionally panna cotta is poured into a ramekin or custard cup, and then released upside down onto a dessert plate. Often … [Read more...]

Peach Rosemary Cornmeal Cake

September 25, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

Is this really the fourth peach recipe in a row? I will admit to being obsessed with peaches. I’m not tired of them yet, but sadly it is the end of the season and my treasured flat is empty. Yesterday was the autumnal equinox, and I am reminded of a line from Dylan Thomas’ poem … [Read more...]

Pickled Peaches

September 23, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

My husband was horrified when I said I was going to pickle a couple of the beautiful peaches we got from Gunkel Orchards. The peaches we found while driving through eastern Washington were the most delicious peaches either of us had ever eaten, and it did seem a shame to alter … [Read more...]

Peach Sorbet

September 7, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

Last week we drove from Missoula, Montana to Bandon, Oregon. We thought the smoke from forest fires was bad in Missoula, but it was claustrophobic in Idaho. We were engulfed in smoke, and drove through a town that was evacuated hours after we’d been there. … [Read more...]

Peach Pie with Rhubarb

August 14, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

It took me years to feel confident about making pie dough. I could work myself into a froth just thinking about all of the things that might go wrong. Should I use shortening, butter, a mixture of the two—and what about the elusive leaf lard? Must I add lemon juice, vinegar, or … [Read more...]

Breakfast Lavender Berry Crisp and Lavender Chai

July 26, 2015 Sasha Crehan Leave a Comment

The Lavender Lady (aka Sherri Merritt) is one of the highlights of the farmers market in Bandon, Oregon, and her lavender was the inspiration for these recipes. Her flowers are organic, hand-picked, fresh as can be, and beautiful. But you don’t have to drive to Bandon. Visit her … [Read more...]

Carrot Top Pesto with Honey Roasted Carrots

July 17, 2015 Sasha Crehan 3 Comments

I remember the moment, sometime in the mid-1970s, when my mom discovered pesto. What a happy day that was! She of course made it with basil, and since our family hadn’t been introduced to a food processor, she pulverized the basil with a mortar and pestle. So exotic, as if we had … [Read more...]
