In Great Desserts: Apple-Pumpkin Pie
[Photo: Yummy Local] Pumpkin pie: fall standard. Apple pie: ditto. So why not apple pumpkin pie? Alice Summers from the food blog YummyLocal revives a recipe from an Emeril Lagasse Thanksgiving pie contest nearly ten years ago. Cinnamon-stewed apples form the pie's first layer, which gets smothered in a sweet pumpkin filling. It gets you thinking about pie's fall potential. Pumpkin-pecan? Pecan-cranberry? So many possibilities... Related Cook's Illustrated's Pumpkin Pie Crochet Your Own Pie Beret Deep Fried Pumpkin Pie Makes My Stomach Rumble with Glee...Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
[Flickr: the_girl] Rather than picking just one book for this week's Cook the Book, we went with five. What do they all have in common? Pumpkin, butter, miscellaneous other ingredients, and an oven. Basically our goal this week is to make you eat more pumpkin desserts. We rummaged through our cookbook library to find some favorite recipes: Pumpkin Walnut Cranberry Quickbread from The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies from Baked, Ginger Custard Pumpkin Pie from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book, Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes from Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook, and Spiced Pumpkin Muffins with Pepitas from Cowgirl Cuisine.

Of all the celebrity chefs, how many of them are from the dessert world? I am wracking my brain to come up with at least one celebrity pastry chef, and I've got nothing. Mario handles the Italian front, Rachel takes care of meals for harried moms, Ina brings a reserved classiness to the table, Tom acts as mentor and judge for aspiring young chef—but what about sweets? Everyone loves dessert, so why do pastry chefs get the shaft? In the spirit of bringing pastry chefs into the realm of food royalty, I would like to hereby nominate Karen DeMasco for the title of celebrity pastry chef. DeMasco's desserts have been a big hit here at Serious Eats for a while,...Photo of the Day: Epic Taiwanese Shaved Ice
[Flickr: yusheng] Shaved ice + red beans + sweetened condensed milk + flan = hong dou bing, or red bean shaved ice, a typical Taiwanese dessert. Oh, glistening suspension of red beans in thick condensed milk topped with wobbly pudding mass—how I love you. For those who live in Taipei, Yusheng says he got this shaved ice at Gāoxióng Pópóbīng.

Here's a familiar scenario: You are sitting at a restaurant with a group of friends just finishing a satisfying meal. Your entrees have all been cleared and the waiter approaches with dessert menus. Panic strikes, eyes dart around the table, everyone is full but dessert is appealing. It's no longer a matter of hunger—it's purely dessert curiosity. Clearly everyone at the table is dying to read the dessert menu but nobody wants to ask. Then the inevitable conversation starts: "I don't know, I'm pretty full...I really shouldn't." But then, hopefully, someone chirps up, "Well, I guess we'll take a look." As waiter and a diner, I've realized that once the menu exchanges hands, dessert is always ordered. Pastry chef Carole...I Want This: Ensaimadas
[Stephen Shull from The Eaten Path] Imagine a croissant, but made with pork fat instead of butter and topped with something sweet like powdered sugar, custard, or apricots. Apparently that's what an ensaïmade is like, a common pastry found in the Spanish island of Majorca. Stephen Shull fondly describes the pastry on The Eaten Path, specifically the one from Can Joan de s’Aigo, the oldest operating café and pastry shop in Palma. That's going on my list of "Pastries to Eat Before I Die."...How to Make Hermits from CakeSpy

Photograph from bobby stokes on Flickr Poking around the Serious Eats flickr pool, I was drawn to bobby stokes' photo of a slice of blueberry cheesecake. Either the slice is really small or those blueberries are almost-going-to-explode plump. I'd like to believe the latter. Also, I want that pie....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
