Growing up I was never a big fan of rice; despite having it at every meal I always used to push it away after a few bites in favor of the other things on my plate. These days, while my palate has grown significantly, it still hasn’t developed much of a taste for rice. That […]

Unbelievable Rolls
So as if the weather knew that yesterday was labor day; the unofficial end of the summer season; the atmospheric conditions here in my neck of the woods have turned decidedly fall like. I however am still convinced that we in Southern California will enjoy our annual indian summer 80+ degree heat into October despite […]
Overnight Cinnamon Rolls
How to describe these???? slices of heaven, gastronomic bliss, or perhaps the best frigging breakfast in the world; yeah that sounds right. These are to die for, or should I say hop out of bed faster than a speeding bullet for. I baked 13 of these guys Saturday morning and while I tried my hardest […]
Monster Cookies!
Greetings all and welcome to a special Halloween edition of leggy cooks. As I’m sure you can see from the photo, my kitchen was infiltrated by the long claws of scary bear this morning. He was climbing into the cupboards pulling out all kinds of ingredients and he would not leave until I baked his […]
Resurrection Brunch Fare: Pecan Sticky Buns
Today’s recipe for sticky buns may very well be the most decadent thing I have EVER made, and definitely not healthy in anyway. However, when I saw a photo of one on the cover of the March issue of Bon appetite I made a decision to temporarily forget my health conscious ways, and boy am […]

Challah 2 ways
Challah my Gentile and Jewish friends is the best bread on earth, please there’s no need to argue; I’ll win. Challah is wonderful because it can be made sweet or savory with equally exquisite results, and due to the egg yolks and butter is always rich and satisfying. One of my favorite incarnations of this […]
Lasagna!
I LOVE lasagna. Tender lasagna noodles layered with a homemade sauce, creamy ricotta, and finished with a sprinkling of Mozzarella and Parmesan oh so good! I can’t imagine a much better combination of textures and flavors. I have several other lasagna recipes and even a tortilla lasagna which are all tummy rubbing good, but this […]
Chocolate Treasure Cookies
The other cookie recipe I have to share with you, Chocolate Treasure Cookies; is so named because their cocoa cookie outside en-robes a hidden surprise; reese’s cups and caramely (is that a word?) rolos. These cookies are SO good they make me weak in the knees and I have gotten up twice while writing this […]
Maple-Nut Biscotti
As you may have guessed; I totally bombed my attempt to bake a dozen different cookie recipes in the 12 days leading up to Christmas. It seems between a job, school, and an internship one is left with little time to blend butter, sugar, and flour into delicious treats. I do however have two final […]
