    French Pastry Made Simple

    “I want to build your pastry-making confidence and give you the information you need to succeed whether you’re a beginner or seasoned baker,” Molly Wilkinson.

    Happy 2nd Birthday Kitchen Lit!

    I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I started Kitchen Lit. It’s been such a bright spot in my life being able to share my love of cookbooks, cooking and baking with all of you.  Last year was a little rough in recovering from the fire and the loss of all my cookbooks. I’ve been slowly rebuilding my cookbook collection. Now I have 27 physical cookbooks and 39 digital cookbooks. I’ve always enjoyed reading digital fiction books but never thought I would like digital cookbooks but I am really starting to love them, especially since they are easy to travel with.

    Teatime At Grosvenor Square

    “The spectacle, luxury, and tantalizing saga of Bridgerton has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of viewers. But among all the heart-racing drama and Regency finery, one thing truly stands out: the magnificent food. Spectacular cakes, candy-colored cookies, fresh fruit as far as the eye can see – it’s enough to make even Lady Whistledown’s wearied mouth water,” Dahlia Clearwater. I am a huge fan of Bridgerton and having lived in London before I love tea. When I found Teatime At Grosvenor Square I was so excited to try out all the recipes. I was so happy with the results from the ones that I tried and would highly recommend this cookbook…

    Red, White & Blue Strawberries

    The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. I still remember being a kid and watching the fireworks in Tarpon Springs, FL from my Grandma’s house. To this day I still think those were the best fireworks I have ever seen. Lots of times we would have big family picnics or barbecues to celebrate the 4th of July. I loved all the patriotic dishes that were served.  Over the years I have made many different holiday recipes but I love making these Red, White & Blue Strawberries. They are delicious and it’s the perfect time of year for the strawberries. The dessert is very simple to make and doesn’t…
