I am looking for pastry flour. I don’t want the whole wheat kind that are available from the brands Bob’s Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills. I have checked out the chain supermarkets, e.g. Giant, Whole Foods, McGruder and...

Cottage Cheese Pancakes

This version is adored by all my guests and has even been served as a wedding cake.

Not Quite Arancini

Only if you want dense cakes and cardboardy pie crusts.

Pancakes that are somewhat healthy for you.

This week’s mission: pseudo-elegant frozen pastry bites, and Wheat Thins with more fiber.

Or a grain of barley, or couscous, or anything whole and wholesome.

How to cook them and why they’re worth the wait.

Light, cheesy pillows of pasta with a hearty sauce.

A versatile tart appropriate as an hors d’oeuvre or a dessert.

A cool and creamy blend of malt, vanilla ice cream, and graham crackers.

Loaded with flavor but light as a feather.
