“If all we had were roses, would the thorns then be beautiful?” – Kamand Kojouri. OK… So I am just going to say it now. I know you thought it too after seeing the picture. These cookies are ugly as hell! But they taste gooodd… And they are egg free. And whole wheat. And easy to …
For all the baking I do, I haven’t made many tarts or pies . One reason being , we don’t have many “pie appropriate” occasions at home. Cake or puddings are much more popular as desserts among our near and dear. So that kept me from experimenting too much with them. The other reason being …
“It’s the chemistry between the ingredients and the cook that gives desserts life. “- Anna Olsen . Something a little different from the usual today. Different for me atleast.
