Pistachio Brittle Cheesecake from Bon Appetit Desserts: The Cookbook for All Things Sweet and Wonderful

This was a gorgeous looking light and creamy cheesecake which tasted delicious. 4 stars only because it was lacking the pistachio flavor despite of 1 expensive cup used in the recipe. Next time I will... read more >

	Baguettes From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 29th December 2010) Foolproof recipe! Even though it takes some time - mostly letting the dough rest and rise though - this is an easy recipe. Everybody loved these delicious homemade baguettes.
	Buttermilk Pancakes From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 22nd May 2011) This one's another winner! I used agave syrup instead of molasses and they turned out excellently!
	Carrot Muffins From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 11th December 2010) Spicy, sweet, crunchy, healthy - yummy! Mine yielded 9 instead of 8 and lots more streusel topping than needed.
	Chocolate Chip Cookies From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 7th November 2010) Excellent cookies - no one tasted the secret ingredient whole-wheat flour. I made only half a batch (i.e. 10 cookies) and they were gone within hours.
	Chocolate Persimmon Muffins From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 22nd May 2011) Event though I have had great success with other recipes from this book I truly disliked these muffins. They were incredibly dry and the persimmon pulp added to the strange taste. Will not make again!
	Five-Grain Cream Waffles From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 9th January 2011) I used buttermilk instead of cream to reduce the calories and the waffles turned out to be delicious! A definite keeper!
	Hazelnut Muffins From: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours (reviewed 22nd May 2011) These were lovely! The hazelnuts paired incredibly well with the teff flour and keeping the skins on added an incredible taste and saved a lot of time.
