Gateau de Crepes

Gateau de Crepes

I've only had this once, but the memory of it is like a dream. A cold night in New York, walking the Upper East Side with my best friend Tanarra - searching for a bakery whose name I was unsure of. I'd heard of this cake before - layers of crepes separated by vanilla pastry cream, and I heard this place had them. I think we got the last piece that night.

Maybe you need to grow up outside of Seattle to appreciate dutch babies. I had my first from a recipe I'd found in a grocery store flier in Texas, where I grew up. They called it a Blueberry Puff Pancake, and it was a wild hit with my extended family anytime I would make it. Nobody had ever eaten anything like it where I came from, so it was a real brunch novelty.


Croquembouche

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to go to Paris. My family's full of anglophiles, and dinners were opportunities to discuss the Tudors and Stuarts, Victoriana, and Gilbert and Sullivan. I went the other route, to the east. By the time I graduated college my romantic notions of the place were in full bloom. I'd studied French history, knew my art, and spoke passable book-French. The only thing left to do was go.


Tapioca Pudding with Rhubarb Compote

Tapioca Pudding with Rhubarb Compote

I had a dream about tapioca. I woke up, made it happen. Threw some rhubarb in a pan with a couple of frozen blueberries and cooked them all down until a compote emerged. When was the last time you had tapioca that didn't come in a snack pack or bubble tea? It's time.
