    This isn’t my recipe, and I didn’t tinker with it (much). I played it (almost) straight, and got exactly what I wanted. The beauty of following a precise recipe is that you know it’s going to come out all right. Fluffy, light, delicate, a touch of bitter to offset the rich sweetness. Tiramisu continues to…

    As my readers likely realize, I know most of the authors in this series to one extent or another. That is, after all, how I get the chutzpah to ask them for a moment of their busy time to talk to a nutty lady about food and cooking. James Young is no exception. I met…

    There is a sort of peacefulness to being indoors with the rain falling down safely out of doors. A warm cup of coffee, a list of tasks which may be completed without stepping foot out of the house… it’s all good. I was baking yesterday and am doing more today, as I work on another…

    While at LibertyCon this summer I had the opportunity to meet and chat with David Weber for a bit. He’s a lovely man, devoted to his family, and a talented author who has more titles to his name than I ever dream of. I’ve enjoyed his work since I found Baen’s Bar, so this was…

    I’d first asked Larry Correia if he’d be willing to take part in this series of foodie book blogs when I saw him at LTUE this spring, and his eyes lit up. “I love food!” he told me, and then he had to hurry off to another panel. I was busy too – that is…

    Ah, the bane of every mother’s life: leftovers. Or as the First Reader calls them, Leftinders. As in, left in ‘der refrigerator. Left in there until they become interesting fungal experiments, or grow little legs like the Luggage and scuttle away when the light comes on.  This doesn’t have to be the way it always…

    Mirror-posted from The Otherwhere Gazette I’ve had the pleasure over the last couple of years of reading Mac Chandler’s two series, and watching him grow by leaps and bounds as an author. While April, his debut novel, was a very strong story with a terrific female lead who… well, I suggest you read it. It…

    Mirror-posted from the Otherwhere Gazette:  It’s difficult to pick out just one John Ringo book to recommend with this recipe. I’ve been reading his books for as long as I’ve been a Baen Barfly, and that’s coming up on fifteen years now. Given the nature of the dish itself, I have to say that reading…

    What follows is the textual content of a speech I had to give in class. It ran deplorably long, because as regular readers know, I love food, and find the anthropology surrounding meals a fascinating topic. So while this seems stilted, if I start expanding it I’ll wind up with a book, and I haven’t…

    (mirror-posted from the Otherwhere Gazette because I have an Organic Chemistry exam) Today’s reading and recipe come from Tom Kratman, best known for his military science fiction and alternative history books. I’ve been reading Kratman since his first book and his skills have grown exponentially since that endeavour. When I asked him for a dish,…

    Finally, after a day of cooking, I can present the post and pictures! I started out this morning by making the stock for the chicken and dumplings, which recipe you can find here. Amanda S Green, one of my favorite authors, who also writes as Sam Schall if you like space opera, was good enough…
