once upon a time..

...the Jewish American Princess went on a journey with twenty other Princesses and Princes. They traveled for far to strange lands with monkeys and apothecaries. Upon returning to her fair kingdom, she had new courses to catch up on and old friends to catch up with. But she was hungry. Hungry for cooking.

A graham-cracker crust, chocolate chips and dried coconut? These bars are a mish-mosh of deliciousness. 


 Wild Mushroom Ragout With Ziti

"heart of the artichoke and other kitchen journeys" by david tanis (p.197-198)
Besides being one of the most delicious dishes the Princess has ever made, it was also the best smelling. Her chambers smelled of fresh herbs and winter warmth. This is a very heavy ragout, with a meaty feel. It is the perfect vegetarian dish for the winter months. 

And so the Jewish American Princess moves forward with her semester, with her last few months of collegiate cooking.

  2. I can attest that the mushroom-ziti was delicious. but am very distraught that i did not sample the magic cookie bars which look OUTRAGEOUS and i cannot wait to try them here. bee-yoootiful!

    wait: on second-thought, are these related to your crack-bars? or will this top those?
