Chocolate Fudge Cookies with Candy Cane Buttercream

Better late than never, right? These cookies are a great use for all your leftover candy canes lying around! Even sans the candy cane buttercream, these chocolate cookies are amazing.

Apple, Chocolate + Salted Pecan Bundt

This weekend, the resident jew is, in fact, home alone for the holidays—and in the presence of far too many apples for just one person. The problem is I just don’t love pies and crumbles.

Locanda Vini e Olli: Journeying to BK

I really hate trekking to Brooklyn. Whenever I go, I somehow end up at a ridiculous warehouse party where I inevitably end up taking a very expensive cash-only Gypsy cab home.

Danny Bowien’s Mission Chinese Food has been making NYC diners sweat all summer long with innovative Sichuan-inspired dishes like Kung Pow Pastrami and Thrice Cooked Bacon.

For one of my roommates birthdays, Anya, I wanted to make a cake special just for her. Anya happens to be a big fan of cinnamon in desserts so I went with this Browned Butter Cake and Cinnamon Chocolate Frosting adapted from Honey & Jam. I didn’t pick up on the browned butter flavor in
