It may be a little premature to say this, considering that I have yet to see the movie, however, I must admit that I am excited that tribute is finally being paid to Julia Child in this medium. While Julia certainly made a slough of her own movies, I am excited that Hollywood had decided to make her name known to a generation who may otherwise not ever know or apprecite the genius and endearing character that was Julia Child

This article disturbed me, to say the least. But it also intrigued me. According to the New York Daily News, a chocolate company out of Dubai is now making milk chocolate from the milk of camels. The company hopes to start selling the product in the United States within the next few months. Get your taste buds ready!

As I’m sure you have all noticed, the fresh, ripe fruit of summer is at its peak. Berries, peaches and nectarines and ripening and here in California, we are getting some truly GREAT produce. And while these sweet treats are great fresh and untampered with, they also make the perfect baking ingredient. Now is the time for cobblers and crisps, and I have been making my fair share of them. The following recipe is something I have recently tried out and have found to be light enough to be a summer dessert and sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. Enjoy!

I have loved baking and cooking since I was a child. I studied foods and nutrition in college, but my secret desire was to own my own restaurant. Participation in a culinary program landed me jobs in several upscale restaurants, where I discovered my passion for baking and pastries. In 1981 I opened my bakery, Tarts and Truffles, in Sacramento, CA. Realizing a need for trained, knowledgeable bakers, I began teaching baking classes in the culinary arts program at American River College in 1990. I hope you will find my interest in high quality baking reflected in every product we sell.
