Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
I grew up in the Philippines in the 70s, and Easter Sunday meant buying a cake called Cathedral Windows from the most popular bakery at the time. It was magical to me--suspended cubes of red, green, orange & yellow jell-o in a dome made of more jell-o mixed with milk.
I actually learned how to make this in high school cooking class, but I still think about what a treat it was to a little kid, to have this to look forward to on Easter.
Cook the Book: 'Beard on Food'
Mark Bittman.
Until my dear husband gave me MB's "How To Cook Everything" for Christmas 7 years ago, I was a slave to recipes. I was scared to vary too much from the prescription. I didn't understand how dishes came together, how to save them when they went wrong. I didn't trust myself to make do with what I had and to rely on my senses and intuition.
Thanks, Minimalist!

Sugared Easter eggs. Less healthy than the chocolate eggs, and with all that food coloring...but it was such a joy to crack them open, eat the little chocolates inside, then have huge chunks of sugar to suck on till I got a stomach ache!
