If you’ve never heard of Momofuko’s Milk Bar and Christina Tosi, then Cereal Milk is probably a new idea to you. Having deep New York City roots, I am very familiar with the Milk Bar craze. Obviously, Tosi did not “create” cereal milk- we all, at one time or another, have created our own version. Cereal…

Cardamom-Strawberry Frozen Custard
I made this Cardamom-Strawberry Frozen Custard with one hand tied behind my back. Really it was one hand tied up in a cast…because…it still is, but I did it one handed-ish. Springtime treats aren’t all created equally. There are those sickly sweet marshmallow birds. No one can throw a rock without hitting a fondant-filled chocolate…

Cafe con Leche Paletas: The Story of My Habit
This is me revealing my addiction. I began drinking cafe con leche, or coffee with milk, when I was six-years-old. My mother said it was just easier to fill our cereal bowl with coffee than to fill it with milk. The logic escaped me, but since every other kid in my family (extended included) was drinking cafe con…
Mango-Rosewater Paletas: Extra Spice Included
You know those TV chefs that describe food as “sexy”? I can’t stand them. Food is not, and will never be, “sexy”. Food is good. It is delicious. I’d even go so far as saying it’s really yummy. Food is not sexy. Mango-rosewater paletas, though…they make me wanna call them “sexy”, but I’m not lame. So, I’ll…
Tres Leches Paletas (Three Milks Popsicles)
This is a trust fall. We need to build a bridge of trust right now; I need to trust you to hear what I have to say and understand that what I did, I didn’t do to hurt you. I’ve lied about this recipe. It’s actually not a tres leches…it’s a cuatros leches. You’re not mad are you? Don’t…
Cucumber, Mint & Lime Popsicles
I always get odd stares when I tell people that I don’t have a really big sweet tooth. “You’re a pastry chef, though!” As if a profession must dictate personal preferences…what does that mean for morticians? I don’t think they’d prefer to be dead, do you? I’m not a fan of overly sweet dishes, so…

Do you ever like a food so much that you want to rub it all over your face? No? Yeah, me neither…that’s dumb. Ha ha…ha…okay, I kind of like strawberry and coconut so much that I would take a bath in it if it wouldn’t compromise my hygiene…or my bath tub…I feel the icy stare…
