About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Anything baked, roasted, braised or stewed. Fried? not so much. Unless you're talking fried green tomatoes...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Polish food from my Polish grandmother: pierogies and hulupki in particular; Southern-style cooking from my grandmother who grew up in the bootheel of Missouri: wilted lettuce salad, fried catfish, anything made with veggies and fruit fresh from Grandpa's garden...

Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti
Amazingly good; they disappeared very very very quickly. It is key to wet your hands, or the dough will stick. But do not otherwise worry about the dough being too sticky: it does turn out fine after baking.

Pumpkin Gingerbread
Loved it! And tried it with a few changes---like many others, dropped sugar to 2 cups (one cup white, one cup brown), but plus 1/2 cup of molasses. Substituted 1 cup buckwheat flour for 1 cup of the regular flour. Added small amount candied orange peel for extra oomph. Substituted 1/3 cup of applesauce + 2/3 cup oil, rather than 1 full cup oil. All turned out wonderfully well and was very very well received by guests.
