Summer Fruit Kuchen

May 30, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Kuchen, German for cake, belongs to the family of cobblers, slumps, grunts, buckles, betties, and all those homey fruit and batter desserts with unlovely names. Here, the batter’s on the bottom, ripe seasonal fruit goes on the top, and you pop the whole thing into the oven,…

Banana Bread

November 1, 2021 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

banana bread

Everyone has a banana bread recipe. But they’re not my grandmother’s recipe. Hers was the first banana bread I ever tasted, and it spoiled me for any other.

It’s #NationalLatinHeritageMonth, so celebrate with the #Latinx flavors we love like these Cuban Black Beans. Flavorful, protein-packed black beans are paired with cumin, paprika, garlic, and of course, jalapeno because we like it a little spicy!
