I meant to get this one online before St. Patrick’s Day this year — Green Chocolate — but my mother came to town and I went on vacation and things fell into a new prioritization scheme as they should. Extremely strong green tea flavor, and, many friends who sampled this remarked, “very interesting.” Not sure […]

Chocolate Caramel Swiss Roll
Well, I’ve had my obligatory one month-ish break from sugar after the holidays and now here we are on the verge of Valentine’s Day, and I’m snuffle-hunting for chocolate recipes to stir up rohmahnce. May it take you to sunny heart-filled scapes deep within your nostalgia. Today, that place for me is the purple house […]
Sicilian Caponata to #StopDiabetes
Ok diabetes, allow me to blow your mind. Here is a recipe that is both Italian and rife with chocolate that is made especially for you. November is American Diabetes Month, and so I am celebrating with a series of cookbooks the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has published. But here’s my attitude, as a physician, […]
Dark Chocolate Semifreddo as Finale of Intern Year
I love coffee most on the mornings when I don’t NEED it. I awoke this morning on the other side of intern year, rested enough to feel philosophical and nostalgic. I began to scoop coffee grinds into the French Press and drank in the smell of the reddish earthen soot. Turned on a loop of […]
Chocolate Graham Cracker Pie when the Heat gets Hot
“Well, there’s no sense in nonsense when the heat gets hot.” Favorite line from Safety Not Guaranteed, a marginal film that I loved but most everyone else did not. This line comes to mind here on the porch, where summer feels just about ready to settle in for a heavy, thick bear hug. I love […]

We’ve had two rehearsals, we don’t really know what […]

Double Chocolate Mocha Cookies
The inception of the Year of Chocolate was the gift of the Theo Chocolate cookbook which inspires this week’s chocolate special: caffeinated dark chocolate cookies. Just the thing to keep my eyes open on the ICU night watch this week. Thank you for this cookbook, Marilyn! And the baking chocolate! #7 Gooey Double Chocolate Mocha […]
Black and White Moon Pie
For this week’s chocolate challenge, a genius hybrid. I’ve taken two classic confections, the Seinfeld race-relations Black and White Cookie, and the popular edible Mardi Gras parade throw, the Moon Pie, and created a delicious masterpiece just in time for the Oshun and Cleopatra parades last night. Ooh these are good! And yes, KP and […]
Buckwheat Chocolate Torte
It’s my birthday week! Among my favorite gifts rolling in was this generous box of bittersweet chocolate baking bars from Sarris Chocolates, to whom I dedicate this post. I decided to use the bars to bake a healthy chocolate torte with buckwheat. Gluten-free dessert that tastes amazing! Such a success. Last time I tried to […]
