Backlog and Update

I'm fairly backlogged, so I'll be rolling out posts about older food adventures and those that I've been experiencing much more recently (I've been cooking and baking up a storm!). Please bear with me so you don't miss anything!

First, though, an update regarding my Vita-Mix plea. Allison of Vita-Mix unceremoniously left me the following comment on Monday:

I'm sorry I'm a bit late to the conversation. Thanks for the request but we have reached our product limit for blogger reviews.

Allison for Vita-Mix

Thank you for responding, Allison, but I'd say it's Vita-Mix's loss for missing out on whatever reviews I'd have written if I were given one of your machines. There's no way I could buy one for myself and that means no free press for you!

Enough about that. Let's talk about Hannah Kaminsky's newest book!



Sadly, I didn't get a single decent shot of this scrumptious pie. It's called Cherry Macaroon Tart and it's honestly the best pie I've ever tasted. You see, I've never been a fan of pie crust and berry pie filling is the only type I've ever enjoyed (while I love fresh apples with a passion, cooked apples don't really do it for me). Until this tart came into my life, I would eat the pie filling and leave the crust behind. All that has changed and now I can have my pie and my crust, too! Ok, that saying doesn't quite work in this instance, but I tried.



Another test recipe for Hannah's new cookbook is that for Rum Raisin Fudge Brownies. These contain a sophisticated and decadent flavor combination that was a huge hit! Once again, my poor excuse for a photo doesn't do Hannah's recipe justice.

Rest assured that there's much more to come.
