Angel Food Cake with Macerated Strawberries
This is a cake that’s perfect for entertaining - it’s a mile high, feeds a crowd, and is best made the day before you eat it! If you’ve never had it, it’s a feather light cake that reminds me of meringue. I flavor mine with a mix of vanilla and almond extracts for just a hint of flavor. There’s nothing better on top than sweet, juicy macerated strawberries. The brandy balances out the sweetness of everything else perfectly, and the cake acts like a giant sponge to soak up all of the ruby red strawberry juices.
Dulce de Leche Brownies
Sweetened condensed milk! I turn this pantry staple into a decadent caramel and spread it over top of the brownies before they bake, creating an even more luscious dessert.
Sweet & Savory Hamantaschen
Purim is right around the corner, so I am all but required to share a hamantaschen recipe. This year I’ve got not one, but TWO recipes for you, one sweet and one savory!

Hungarian Krémes
Krémes are made up of layers of pure deliciousness and incredible textures. You have pressed sheets of crisp, golden puff pastry with a hefty amount of decadent vanilla custard sandwiched in between.
Making a Store Bought Dessert Into a Fancy Dessert
We've all seen the cases filled with sad fruit tarts, stale cupcakes and cakes that are a bit past their prime. I decided to give a classic custard fruit tart a face lift and turn it into the boujee french dessert called mille-feuille (pronounced meal foyyy, for all of the non-French speakers like myself). It's got beautiful layers of crisp, buttery cookie, soft and creamy vanilla mousse and a bright, tart berry coulis!
Death by Chocolate Tart

Pear and Brie Tart
In my opinion, puff pastry makes anything fancy, and it’s easy to find a good quality one in the freezer section of almost any grocery store. Throw in a couple more store bought ingredients, like jam and a wheel of brie, and really the hardest part of this recipe is very thinly slicing your pears.
Food with Friends: Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies
Today I teach my friend and barber, Refi, how to make the world's largest chocolate chip cookie! These cookies use Sarah Kieffer's pan banging technique to create ripples throughout the cookie, creating and gooey center and crisp, buttery edges. Get ready for a cookie bigger than the size of your face!
