A surplus of egg yolks gave me the perfect excuse to whip up a quart or two of tin roof ice cream, chock full of fudge ripple and chocolate-covered peanuts.
Simmering

Braising was the holiday watchword: monkfish, short ribs, and Brussels sprouts. With a bonus shot of my favorite work in progress.
Yule (B)Logging, Part 2: Sawing Logs
Julie | December 23, 2007
The December 2007 Daring Bakers challenge featured a traditional yule log, or buche de noel, which is decorated to emulate an actual log. My “log” was embellished with meringue mushrooms, marzipan ivy and acorns, ganache truffles, and sugared rosemary.
Yule (B)Logging, Part 1: Logrolling
Julie | December 22, 2007
The December 2007 Daring Bakers challenge featured a traditional yule log, or buche de noel, which is decorated to emulate an actual log. My version used a chocolate genoise, and chestnut and dark chocolate buttercreams.
Christmas Cookies, Part the Fifth: Sugar Cookies
Julie | December 21, 2007
Classic sugar cookies, made from scratch, are the perfect blank canvases for any decorations you like.
Christmas Cookies, Part the Fourth: Noodle Clusters
Julie | December 20, 2007
These candy-like cookies couldn’t be easier to make: melted chocolate and butterscotch chips are stirred into crunchy nuts and chow mein noodles.
Christmas Cookies, Part the Third: Pecan Snowballs
Julie | December 19, 2007
No matter what you call them, these are one of my personal favorite holiday cookies. Don’t inhale while you’re eating one!
Christmas Cookies, Part the Second: Brownie Cookies
Julie | December 18, 2007
These are the most chocolaty chocolate cookies I’ve ever tasted, even more so when fresh from the oven.
Christmas Cookies, Part the First: Buckeyes
Julie | December 17, 2007
You don’t have to be from Ohio to enjoy these chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls, though it might help in explaining the name’s reference.
