In the second April installment of #BakingWithBeth, the all things California theme continues and we’re going with a farmers market special – rhubarb and strawberry almond crumble bars. California has an abundance of produce and farmers markets, so I wanted to highlight all that natural goodness. The state nut is the almond so it seemed nice to give […]
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Yesterday was filled with twelve hours of packing to move 2200 miles across the country (AGHHH!!), and therefore, I got a bit delayed in posting this weeks Baking With Beth recipe. If you missed the announcement on Instagram in early March, I’m moving to Atlanta! After eight and a half years living in Los Angeles, I decided the […]
Meyer Lemon Meringue Pie
Happy Thursday, y’all! It’s the final week of pie month (man, with five Thursdays in March, it feels like pie month has gone on forever!) and I figured I’d finish it off with a Meyer lemon meringue pie, my namesake pie. Haha, kidding. Meyer lemons, native to China, are a cross between a lemon and […]
Cherry Hand Pies
This weeks #BakingWithBeth cherry hand pie recipe is one I’ve been wanting to make for a while! For the fourth recipe of pie month, we’re going mini with a cherry hand pie. I’ve made a number of mini and two-bite sized tarts, but never pie. And these definitely won’t be my last hand pies with all […]
Irish Guinness Cottage Pie
Happy almost St. Patrick’s Day! This weeks #BakingWithBeth recipe doesn’t really involve anything pastry related, save for piping mashed potatoes (which was a first, and tons of fun!), but this Irish cottage pie involves Guinness and is in keeping with the March pie-theme. It’s the perfect recipe for St. Patrick’s Day dinner tomorrow! Originally I called this […]
Pi Day Pizza Pie
This is a bonus #BakingWithBeth pi(e) month Pi Day recipe. Pi Day was one of the inspirations behind pie month so we’re bring out a special Pi Day 3.14159 recipe. Instead of a sweet pie, I decided to go the more savory route with a Pi Day pizza pie recipe. Today’s recipe is a special one because […]
Mint Chocolate Chip Grasshopper Pie
The second week of March and #BakingWithBeth pie month is a Baskin Robbins copycat mint chocolate chip ice cream grasshopper pie. My birthday was this past Tuesday (March 7th) and my favorite birthday cake is a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. I have a very small freezer (in a poorly designed […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie with Dulce de Leche
March begins the third month of the #BakingWithBeth recipe series and the theme for March is all things pies (because 3.14159!!). We’re kicking off pie month with a super rich and amazing cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookie pie with dulce de leche! I love a good chocolate chip cookie pie. It’s fabulous on its own, but […]
Academy Awards 2017: Red Carpet Cuisine Themed Oscar Menu
For the 2017 Academy Awards, I was commissioned to cater an annual Oscar party. No, not the Governors Ball but the coveted invite-only Jewels & Jammies 2017. A themed Oscar menu was planned to represent all nine Best Picture nominees. As with an good themed menu, puns were involved. Following pastry school, I’ve been hired here and there to create dessert bars […]
Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas
As a child I had a job as a cookie salesman, which is surprisingly not all that dissimilar from today. In grew up in the US in the eighties and nineties so by cookie salesman, I of course mean Girl Scout. For this weeks #BakingWithBeth recipe, we’re making one of the most famous cookies in America […]
