Certain brunch guests will be surprised to learn that cinnamon rolls can be made from scratch in a home kitchen. ("Like, from a can?" a friend of mine once asked when informed that I had made the roll she was being handed.) But there's actually no trick to it.

Meltaways were one of the first cookies I made when I began my professional baking career. They're incredibly easy and their delicate, crumbly texture makes them terribly addictive.

Hot Dog of the Week: Red Snapper
In this week's edition of Hot Dog of the Week, we get a taste of Maine's famous red snappers, which are made with natural casing beef and pork franks and a healthy dose of FD&C Red #40. Why red?

It's one of few herbs you can find fresh at any time of year in most supermarkets. There are two types: flat leaf (also called Italian parsley) and curly leaf. In a pinch, either is fine, but note the differences between them.
