Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!

  1. This isn’t so much a comment, and it’s unrelated to dessert but to potato niks. I am trying to track down a recipe for my 86 year old mother, from NYC’s lower east side. She described a thin potato nik with creamy potato. I found an article by Norene Gilletz in which she mentioned her mother’s recipe made with mashed potatoes. That may be it! Do you have the recipe by any chance?
