You Can’t Do That on Blogovision
Julie | August 27, 2011
The August 2011 Daring Bakers challenge was making candy, with at least one incorporating tempered chocolate. I made white chocolate-blueberry marzipan bonbons, chocolate coconut figs, cucumber-elderflower pate de fruits, and chocolate-dipped tahini caramels.

Homegrown rhubarb and the first jams of the year: strawberry-rhubarb with cinnamon and cherry-rhubarb with vanilla.

Julie | May 20, 2011
A nicely balanced meal if I do say so myself: almond-crusted halibut cheeks with orange beurre blanc, broccoli, and sweet potato puree with coconut milk and almond butter.
