This was sent in by an old friend of the family, Ann. I haven’t had the opportunity to make this recipe yet, but I vividly remember Ann’s food being the the kind of delicious, “sophisticated simple” which is almost impossible to get anywhere but in someone’s home.

I frequently make biscuits when away from home, and I always wish I had my standard recipe available, so I’m putting it up here where I can always get at it. This is the recipe my mom used, and the one I’ve always used. They are excellent hot (though crappy cold), as biscuits should be.

N’s Auntie Indira served this to us when I first met her. It is the best damn chocolate cake I’ve ever had; so often, the cake part of chocolate cake is just…unimpressive. This, on the other hand, is amazing. I begged for the recipe and she was kind enough to share.

These are not-too-sweet little cupcake/muffins that are good with berries and cream or with citrus icing. Actually, you could probably add frozen blueberries in and have citrus/blueberry muffins, but I haven’t tried that … yet. Makes six cakies.

This was originally an oatmeal-raisin cookie recipe. Raisin, schmaisin. These are damn good if you make them with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. For breakfast, especially, not that I’d know. Buttery, crispy at the edges, soft & chewy in the middle, so much good stuff in them they tend to fall apart. And yeah, you can make them with raisins. If you must. But they’d be better for you, and who needs that?
How many cookies this makes depends on how big you make your cookies, natch.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I used to beg my mother to make it. I make it without nuts and it is just as tasty.

I made this by rummaging through the fridge for ingredients, approximating from two cookbooks, messing it up once (in this really embarrassing way that only I could do, so don’t worry - ‘tis foolproof for others), and trying, trying again. Takes about an hour to an hour and a half and is delicious.
