I’m going to start by being really to the point here—this is one of the top three cakes I’ve ever made. This Olive Oil Tangerine cake has sweetness, moistness, fruitiness, and a little almond-y nuttiness. The interior has the perfect crumb, and the outside...
A couple weeks ago I hosted my sixth Secret Supper here in Oregon. We held this supper at Alderbrook Station, a beautiful historic boathouse and net loft in Astoria along the coast. This supper’s theme was ‘Noble Rot’— its namesake being botrytus, a fungus that affects winegrapes...
It’s that time of year again, where we start to think about fun little somethings to get our friends and family. Shopping for some people can be really, really hard. Take my dad for example. Every year I get him a gift, and every...
