Desserts

My favorite category! Desserts feature so strongly in our traditions and memories.

Okay, another interesting term that needs to be explained. What the heck is mange! A dessert that sounds like a mite doesn’t sound very good. However, try to think French. This dessert is sweet and thick with cream and sugar.

I just recently added the pie section. I hope you will try a recipe or two out and let me know how it turned out.

Cake

Cakes can be so delightfully delicious when done correctly. We’ve all had that memorable cake that just melts in your mouth. Harder to come by these days. Cake flour is supposed to make a difference. This page will contain everything under the cake section of the recipe box, of course, but it will also have some cakes found elsewhere in the box. So be sure to check out the Bakery page.

Miscellaneous Desserts

Kind of a catchall for those desserts that don’t quite fit into the scheme of things.

Pies

I had never heard of “Pie Plant” so I looked it up and it turns out that it is a nickname for rhubarb. Here is a good website that gives a little history of the pie plant.
