I find her
cookbooks very intimidating, but her food is delicious and Joanne Chang looks so darn nice that I can't stay away. My failed attempt at her Birthday Cake will always haunt me, but today's Vegan Vanilla-Mixed Berry Muffins were meant to be mine. I substituted chopped cherries for raspberries and they still turned out well.
I loved her chapter, In Our Pantry. She keeps no secrets.
Love! I have to check it out. I love pantry secrets!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would have eaten all of these if she had her druthers... meanwhile, we got home and she told me that you gave her strawberries -- "TWO STRAWBERRIES!" -- from your garden... little did you know, you are our slow food guru. As a sidenote, I asked L if she thanked you for the berries. She said, "No. I forgot..." So, thank you...
ReplyDeletethose strawberries were our little secret!
DeleteHmm, I wonder what inspired you to pick a vegan recipe?? I really need to get at least one of her books, I admire her perfectly buttery but pretty expensive pastries so much. I just tried the new bread + butter cafe in the North End--delicious pastries, but just as good as Flour with less selection. She sets a tough bar to top.
ReplyDeleteI too love pantry exposé.
actually it was perfect because I was out of butter!! I'll put bread and butter on my list! I haven't been to the North End in far too long!
DeleteThose look YUMMY!!
