Gift Guide 2012

Monday, November 19, 2012

[This annual gift guide has become one of my favorite parts of Lottie + Doof. I really enjoy putting this together, and this year I had fun shooting all of these good things "on location" in our apartment. As always,…

Oh, Snap!

Friday, May 18, 2012

These beauties were paired with the rhubarb fool and make a most excellent spoon for scooping up the cream and jam. Brandy snaps are another popular British sweet that doesn’t appear very often on American menus. They’re lovely and often…

Rhubarb Fool with Cardamom Cream

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

This is probably an odd pick of recipe from April Bloomfield’s beautiful cookbook, A Girl and Her Pig. The young British chef has made a name for herself cooking with animals and all forms of fat. Those recipes looked great,…

Maple Walnut Trifle

Thursday, December 22, 2011

Whoa, 2011 was a pretty great year at Lottie + Doof! I just reviewed the recipes from this past year and impressed even myself. It may have been the best year for recipes yet, what with bagels, savory granola, and…

Day 5: Mathew Rice + Gooey Butter Cookies

Friday, December 9, 2011

Rhubarb and Raspberry Crostata

Rhubarb Mania

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Magazines and Dinners!

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Two fun updates before I continue with regularly scheduled programming. First of all, Bryan and I are two of the first-time homeowners profiled in the June/July issue of ReadyMade magazine. I love the issue (which is dedicated to first homes)…

Catching Up and Cornmeal Blueberry Cookies

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Today I am coming to you with a few random items and one delicious recipe: I can hardly believe it is June. Farmer’s Market season has begun in the Midwest and we are now lucky enough to live a couple…

Rhubarb Mania!

Monday, June 1, 2009

I’ve been a little MIA. I got knocked out with a flu (not swine) and haven’t cooked anything in over a week. Funny how quickly we can lose all interest in food.  The good news is that I am feeling…
