Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
These flaky, buttery Savory Swiss Cheese and Thyme Scones feature subtle nuttiness from Swiss cheese that’s accentuated with a hint of thyme.
When the weather starts to cool down, there’s nothing like a hot bowl of soup and fresh bread (in any form) to warm up with.…
Soft, moist, and richly spiced Gingerbread Snack Cake with Earl Grey Glaze is full of festive Christmas flavor, and is the perfect thing to accompany a steaming cup of holiday tea. Closing my eyes and tipping my head back slightly, I inhale deeply. I smell a crispness in the air; faintly wood smoke, pine trees, and a richly spiced sweet aroma.

There are a multitude of Korean cafés/bakeries where we live in Alexandria. In fact, it seems that nearly every non-chain coffee shop in the area is either straight-up Korean or Korean with a French twist. At first, it took some getting used to.

I’m going to be sharing the recipes I made throughout the next month or so, but for now I’m going to let the photos do the talking....
