Welcome, Fall!

Perhaps I’m jumping the gun a bit, but an undeniable chill has blown in, and now that it’s September, I can’t contain my excitement for fall any longer.

Patate e Pomodori al Forno

So Mandy – a friend of mine and Jo’s – recently directed me to her blog, Sweet and Savory. While not a vegan blog, some of the recipes looked to good not to attempt veganization. And, in true Primate fashion, I’m instantly drawn to the first potato dish I see. This recipe was pure genius, [...] Continue reading

August Daring Bakers Challenge: Dobos Torta

This month’s challenge was one I hadn’t heard of. (No surprise there. I think “cheesecake” is the only one with which I’ve actually had prior experience.) I did hear from a Hungarian friend that it’s pronounced with an “sh” sound at the end, and that … Continue reading
