Comfort from your Kitchen: Recipes for Pandemic Times

 

Earlier in the year I shared a collection of recipes that you might find helpful during these stressful times. You can find them here as comfort can often be found in the kitchen. There are comforting soups, pantry based recipes, a variety of entrees, breads and a few easy desserts. Finally, since we are all baking more (myself included), I have set up a challenge for you: a French Apple Tart. The recipe comes from my most recent cookbook “Home Cooking 101,” Oxmoor House, 2016,  and I have included all the how- to shots. I share a trick for slicing the apples so that you can get them paper thin (even if  you don’t have good knife skills). If you want to share your finished tart, please email me a photo.

Happy Cooking!

    I have a wall bookshelf with over 3/4 of it filled with cookbooks. I started looking and realized I didn’t have any books from you. This will be remedied today. I love cooking and always am happy to share recipes as well as helping those that don’t know how to cook, how to cook. I am 63 and can’t believe how beautiful you are at 66. I loved when you would appear on Rachel Ray or any other show. Thank you for being so down to earth.

    While looking through your site trying to find a particular recipe I stumbled across this page and LOVE the picture that your holding. Being a mother of five (adult) children the picture resonates with my love of my children and feeding those I love as well as those who need some love.
    Thanks for the inspiration with the picture.
