Mango Sauce with Cardamom and Saffron
This is a recipe for a puree I fed my daughter when she was 7 months old. It calls for cooking cubes of Mango with crushed Cardamom seeds and strands of saffron.
Caramel Oranges with Cardamom
This Caramel Oranges recipe is a great combination of flavors and can be made at a moment's notice. The oranges are tart and sweet with juicy orange flavor.
Cardamon Cous Cous Pudding

Blood Orange, Tangerine and Cardamom Granita
It is the addition of cardamom that transforms this simple citrus granita to a lush dessert with complexity & depth of flavor. Try this Tangerine Granita recipe!
Star Anise Syrup
I broke up with a fellow after stocking his kitchen with ingredients. He asked what he'd do with a cupboard full of spices - this was my suggestion.
Top O' The Evenin'
I love coffee drinks on a cold winter night, and this is among my favorites. Guaranteed to take the chill off and warm you from the inside out.
Cardamom-Walnut Crescents
Buñuelos
Buñuelos have always been a staple at our family gatherings- perfectly crispy and dusted with cinnamon sugar. Try this Harina Preparada recipe. Enjoy!
Grown-Up Granita
This concoction feels granita-like to me, granita being — as you may know — a sort of slushy Italian dessert usually made from water, sugar and fruit or other flavorings. Obviously, this isn’t that. In fact, I cheat completely, beginning with a pint of good-quality sorbet and then simply adding the other ingredients, two of which contain alcohol.
Apples Baked in Cider
Apples baked in cider somehow taste more of themselves. It goes without saying that this is comfort food, easy to put together and pop in the oven just as soon as dinner is underway. If possible, use cider from a farm stand or farmer’s market—it has a deeper, more concentrated flavor than the grocery store brands, which wash out in comparison. The comfort extends to those times when you are not eating dessert for self-improvement purposes, but want something just a little sweet. These won’t do much damage. You can even omit the sugar if you want to feel pure. - Sally
Brown Sugar and Spice Apple Pie
Winter Squash Pie
Could you make Claire Fountain’s traditional pumpkin pie with a can of processed orange mystery pulp? Of course, Ms. Fountain says — if you think you can live with yourself after. But you’ll need to turn in your C.S.A. badge and your copy of “The Omnivore’s Dilemma.”
Flourless Carrot Cake
This crunchy, spicy carrot cake is much lighter and less cloying than most I’ve tasted. It’s important to grate the carrots on the fine holes of your grater, or else they’ll remain too crunchy. For best results, wrap the cake tightly in plastic after it cools and serve it the next day. It will keep for five days in the refrigerator if wrapped airtight.
Butterball Slider Cocktail
This butterball cocktail has butterscotch schnapps in it and is delightful. This recipe is a must try!
Roman Holiday Granita
In Italy they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. But they have plenty of holidays and saints days of their own. In Rome they’ve seen plenty of pilgrims, fortunately not the ones we got stuck with. As a card carrying member of the Calvin Trillin Spaghetti Carbonara for Thanksgiving Club, I chose granita as dessert. The first time I tasted this was in Tazza D’Oro in Rome. As you approach Piazza Rotunda from the east the most heavenly coffee smells surround you. Your nose will lead you to Tazza D’Oro, so you don’t need directions. At TDO you will be served this refreshing coffee based confection in clear plastic cups, but if you want to tart it up for the holiday serve it in glass mugs. Now, back to the via Veneto… - pierino
Poached Pears in Red Wine
Jeff Potter enjoys the science of cooking, which is why he wrote, “Cooking for Geeks: Real Science, Great Hacks and Good Food.” For a combined dessert and science experiment, Mr. Potter suggests poaching pears, which causes changes in the structure of the fruit’s flesh, breaking down cell walls and affecting the bonds between neighboring cells to create a softer texture that’s infused with the flavor of the poaching liquid. While you can get away with poaching pears that are a little underripe, you can also encourage pears to ripen by storing them in a paper bag.
Tall and Creamy Cheesecake
This is not really a New York cheesecake recipe — there’s no lemon (although there could be) — this is an all-American cheesecake of the big, beautiful, lush and creamy variety, the kind that causes gasps of delight when you bring it to the table and sighs of satisfaction when you and your guests savor bite after bite. The cake’s velvety texture is a result of a long turn in the mixer, and a cool-down process that requires patience, but not much effort. It’s also a cheesecake you can customize. You can make the cake milder or tangier by using all heavy cream or all sour cream, or a combination of the two. You can add fruits or nuts, swirls of chocolate or drops of extract.
Dark As The Night Truffles
I don't really do much by the way of candy. Except for truffles. When I studied abroad in Paris, we were each allotted a certain amount of "cultural money" to spend on cultural experiences and improving our language over the course of the semester. Most people spent a lot of time in museums, etc. I went to my fair share of museums, but a large chunk of my money went to a wine tasting class, buying cookbooks, and a chocolate making class at La Maison de Chocolat, where I took copious notes as I learned to make a perfect chocolate ganache. The trick, really is all in the quality of chocolate, and in the stirring technique. I like my truffles quite simple, with plain dark chocolate. You can also flavor them by simmering the cream with cinnamon sticks or zest or other flavorings for a few minutes, then straining it and letting it cool before proceeding. - fiveandspice
Pumpkin Bark
I absolutely love the flavor of pumpkin and pumpkin spice. All fall long I drink pumpkin spice coffee and treat myself with pumpkin bread and muffins. But despite my love for pumpkin flavors, I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie (mostly the texture). So I came up with this pumpkin bark as a way to indulge my sweet tooth with that great pumpkin spice flavor without having actual pumpkin pie. This would also be good with the addition of pecans or almonds for crunch.
Spooky Witches' Hats
My inspiration for holiday themed baking is my mom. As a child, my mom made everything from homemade Easter candy for our baskets to ornate Christmas cookies, without a cutout in sight. I saw this recipe in the Frango cookbook by Macy's and instantly thought this looked like a creation of my mom's. With a few adaptations of my own, this treat is sure to become a favorite. With just three ingredients, you will be ready to make these at the drop of a ... you got it! ( Minimal assembly required)
Spiced Cocoa Coffee Beans
This recipe is based on the traditional chocolate covered espresso bean (Cocoa coffee beans). Here, I have added a spicy coating to bump up the flavor.
HARRY POTTER'S PUMPKIN PASTIES
My boys discovered this recipe on an internet search for Harry Potter recipes. Harry Potter eats these treats on the Hogwarts Express. They are, indeed, little pumpkin pastries. This is a very simple recipe - the original calls for store bought cookie dough, but I thought I'd jazz them up a bit by using Mrs. Larkin's "Best Chewy Sugar Cookie" recipe.
Quinoa Oat Apple Crumble
Apple crumbles can be tricky, because the apples tend to dry out in the oven. The way to avoid this problem is to bake them until thoroughly softened before you finish them with the crumble.
Snow White's Apple
My mother always made candied apples for Halloween. She made a huge batch for the neighborhood kids every year. She added red food coloring to make them bright red. I decided that the apples were gorgeous as nature intended so I left that ingredient out. This is so simple it is hardly a recipe...but it is a solid tradition. (the candy thermometer was my mother's at least 40 years ago). I used winesap apples, a US heirloom variety. The trees on our property are over 100 years old. - dymnyno
