I have a new best friend, and his name is Spencer. Want to know how we became BFFs? It’s all about the magical break room upstairs at King Arthur Flour.

Oh… MY!
About an hour ago, two of my Web teammates (names will be withheld to protect the guilty er, innocent) came and begged for chocolate.
BEGGED. I’m not kidding. They did everything but crawl on their knees. read the rest of this entry »
For Valentine’s Day: VERY vanilla cheesecake bars
February 11th, 2011 by
Recipe: Vanilla Cheesecake Bars
Love at first bite.
SUCH an overworked expression, but still… when you’re talking cheesecake, the tiniest bite is capable of sending you into paroxysms of ardor. The richness of the cream cheese! The delightful interplay of tangy and sweet; the barely crunchy crust cradling its ultra-smooth filling…
Be still, my heart!
I’m rich, I’m rich! Thousand Dollar Bars

Recipe: Thousand Dollar Bars
Have you ever baked something that made you do the Daffy Duck? You know, the cartoon scene where Daffy runs about yelling, “I’m rich, I’m rich, whoop, whoop, yippee, I’m rich!” He’s bouncing around on his head, feet, hands, and rump in a spastic outpouring of sheer joy. Yep, the Daffy Duck.
Not everything we bake here in the kitchen gets us to do the Daffy Duck. Sometimes we do the swoon, the table grip (hold me Ralphie, I’ve died and gone to heaven). Susan Reid’s creations often get me to do the swoon. That woman knows how to cook. read the rest of this entry »

Recipe: Butterscotch Chocolate Brownies
It takes a village to create a recipe. Or, at least the inspiration for one.
King Arthur Flour has recently relaunched its community site, The Baking Circle. This long-time virtual gathering place has attracted bakers from all over the world, and generated discussions ranging from things to do with zucchini to recipes for THE BEST sandwich buns (a discussion never resolved – though we’ve had fun trying!)
Looking for inspiration from the community, I decided to check out the recipe section – see what people were posting. read the rest of this entry »
Raising the bar: Sticky Ginger Squares

Recipe: Sticky Ginger Squares
Chocolate, it’s time for you to take a break. You’ve been hogging the spotlight for weeks now. Even your biggest fans are becoming a bit jaded. So move to the back of the line, OK?
Gingerrrrrrrrrrrr… come on down!
If ever there’s a time for sweetSPICYhot ginger, in all its myriad incarnations, this is it. The fresh scent of balsam and the prickle of snow on your cheeks, overlaid with warm kitchen aromas of gingerbread cookies and eggnog, signal that the end-of-year holidays are upon us. read the rest of this entry »
What’s a Tweedie?
February 21st, 2008 by
Recipe: None
Anatomy of a test run, chapter 1.
People contact us all the time looking for long-lost recipes. Not long ago we fielded an email from a customer who was looking to re-create a collection of family recipes. They’d found sources for everything on their list but a recipe called Tweedies, and wanted to know if we could help. read the rest of this entry »
