🤯 A Flavor I Can Only Describe as Mind Blowing

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

After 16 years in the food industry I've pretty much seen it all...until the other day when I was testing a new recipe and came up with a flavor that I can only describe as mind blowing.

I consider you guys, my subscribers, to be my most dedicated cooks, so take this as an insider tip ~ make this asap! You won't be disappointed :)

​Honey Caramel Sauce​

So here's what I did ~ I made a classic easy caramel sauce, but instead of starting with table sugar, I made it with honey. (It takes 3 ingredients and just a few minutes.)

Honey is honestly one of the most complex flavors I’ve worked with ~ it’s sweet, yes, but there’s so much more going on. Depending on the flowers the bees visited it can taste floral, fruity, herbal, or even a little smoky.

When you add caramelization into the equation, well, you've got a literal flavor bomb!

What do you with your honey caramel sauce (besides scarf it down with a spoon?)

​My recipe index is a treasure trove of dishes that would pair beautifully with caramel sauce. Here are some examples where a drizzle of caramel would elevate the flavors:

Then there’s cake, pound cake is a no-brainer

It makes a decadent drizzle topping for:

I have made this recipe several time (tho I always use yellow potatoes). It is the absolute best! As most of your recipes are!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

spring salad

knead Hey friends❣️ There’s nothing quite like early spring ~ it touches everything, especially what we’re cooking and eating. Our first farmers market is next week and I'm counting the hours. Happy April! The BEST of April... Flourless cakes always spike in April. My Belgian chocolate cake is one of the cakes I probably make the most because it's such a perfect dessert for entertaining. Almond lovers have lots of choices, too. My macaroon cake is dairy free as well as gluten free. Lemon...

Lemon Olive Oil Cake

Hey friends❣️ I’m sharing one of my most popular cakes today ~ my lemon olive oil cake. It’s been a reader favorite for years. And I know, olive oil in a cake can sound a little strange if you haven't tried it, but it’s exactly what makes this cake so good. I use a mild olive oil and the fruity flavor just melts into the background. The texture is soft, rich, and stays moist for days. I tend to make it around Easter, but it’s the kind of cake that fits right into the whole spring season....

rhubarb cake

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Have you got your spring holiday menus all planned out yet? I like to start the wheels turning about a week ahead ~ enough time to plan, but still room to be spontaneous. If I spot beautiful berries, I might make a chantilly cake or triple berry muffins. And if I’m lucky enough to find rhubarb, it’s absolutely going into a rhubarb tart. Spotting the first rhubarb of the season is probably the most dramatic moment of my cooking year. It gets my heart racing in the...
