September 25, 2009. I can’t believe summer has come and gone already. Luckily, the weather is still relatively warm. Having said that, I must admit Autumn is my favorite season. Well… the beginning of it at least — when the cool autumnal breeze gently caresses our skin and the trees turn into golden beauties. It’s such a romantic season. So, as we enter the Fall quarter of 2009, let us bid a proper farewell to summer with a cherry clafoutis, the dessert that best utilizes my favorite summer fruit.

Fierce and Sweet: 1st Annual Brooklyn Bake Off

Hello Friends and Readers,

I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but fret not. I will be back with more yummy stuff as soon as Ramadan is over.

Having said that, I wanted to share some exciting news with you. On October 11, 2009, Rachel and I are individually participating in Fierce and Sweet, a baking competition and fundraiser to benefit New York Cares, a leading volunteer organization that serves New York City.  This Brooklyn bake off will bring together amateur and professional bakers to compete in front of an audience of sweet toothed voters (ahem.. you).

This is my first baking competition, so I’m really psyched and looking forward it. These are the categories that we can enter for a win:

  • Most Surprising Ingredients
  • Most Delicious
  • Sexiest Baker
  • Best “Green” Goodies
  • Best Presentation

I don’t know what I’m making yet, but given my recent obsession with True Blood, it’ll likely be something vampiresque.  I’m still figuring it out. My stage name is “Draculinaria”… um yeah… Rachel made me do it :)

Anyway, it’s for fun and it’s for good.  So, if you’re free, come  show us some love and socialize for a cause.

xoxo
