December 12th, 2009 admin

Regular readers will know that I don’t bake. You also know that I am incurably lazy in the kitchen and can’t be bothered to follow complicated recipes. That’s why I was both honored and mortified when Emily Fleischaker from Bon Appetit invited me to a Holiday Bake-Off at the Conde-Nast offices in Times Square.

If I were to wait for the proper weather to bake certain desserts, I’d never get to turn the oven on or fry some donuts and the ice cream machine would be churning year round.

Ravioli with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Peas in a Champagne Cream Sauce
Making homemade ravioli each holiday season has always been a tradition in my family. I remember when my kids were young, mixing and rolling the dough by hand, and one by one placing hundreds of meat and cheese filled ravioli on a special white floured sheet that I laid across my bed.

Instead of making pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year, I am bringing Pumpkin Semifreddo to my sister-in-law’s. It’s a riff on one of the desserts we had last week in Asheville and given that we devoured 8 of them in record time, I am pretty sure his family will also appreciate the change. It’s cold, creamy, mousse-like with...
