From the Resident Potluck Director
For the past half year or so, I have been holding a monthly potluck with about 15 friends at work. I always emphasize that while contributing homemade dishes is preferred, doing so is not necessary to attend. The potluck is about coming together over food, not about culinary skills.

A Tale of Two Cakes
Even though Baron’s birthday was 6 weeks ago, I still have the urge to write about the yummy cakes I baked and bought for his birthday. I’m getting a reputation at work for being a baker, so I had to outdo myself when it came time to bring in a cake for Baron’s birthday. I […]

I decided to combine a couple different recipes that I have mentioned on 35unger before: a delicious lemon pound cake and my beloved homemade whipped cream. Combine with some fruit, and you have some quick and […]

For this episode, I made pebernødder or Danish peppernuts. These yummy little bite-size cookies get their flavour from cardamom and almonds, and they are baked and eaten a lot at Christmastime. However, I think they’re wonderful enough that they should be enjoyed year round.
