Fancy Fruit Tart
Fruit tarts are so fancy. I feel like, maybe, if fruit tarts had a theme song, it would go something like “ooooh lala, ooooooh lalala…” I had never made a fruit tart before. It all seemed so complicated: make a perfect shortbread-like crust, whip and whip and whip and whip various creams and eggs until...
Dear Internet: A Letter From Me to You
Hi Internet! It’s been a couple of days since we’ve talked, and there are oh so many things I need to update you on. 1. Everything in my life is somehow pushing me toward France. It all started with the French Dinner Party. Then I read The Vintage Caper which was set in Marseilles and...
Dallas, Texas: Hotel Palomar and Other Such Fun
For Glenn’s birthday this year, we decided to visit Dallas. It’s only a five hour drive, it’s a big city {which we love}, and it’s in Texas {which we also love}.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
This is rhubarb. It is delicious. I never would have thought that rhubarb would need an introduction, but here in Little Rock, it does. A few months ago, when the food world was all abuzz with rhubarb recipes, I asked my friend Carol if rhubarb was sold in Arkansas. I had searched high and low,...
Perfect Cheesecake
This post is dedicated to Matthew L. Hughes who, years ago, challenged me to a cheesecake competition that has yet to happen. You’re fun to eat with, Hughes family. Some people just love cheesecake. My mother is one of those people. Every holiday, birthday, and dinner party would end with my Mom’s cheesecake. It was...
