    White Pecan Balls

    By Nancy Rommelmann Last Update July 27, 2017 5 Comments

    I have always been the baker; I baked jam tarts for my dollies; I baked cookies for my brother and his friends when they were teenagers and had the munchies; I bake everyone their birthday cake and was given a plaque from my daughter's grade school for baking every month for seven years.You might surmise this is compulsion is borne of generosity; perhaps, but it is also … [Read more...] about White Pecan Balls

    Pile of magazines

    Think it's easy to be a restaurant reviewer? Nancy Rommelmann has a few words on the topic I began my journalistic career as a reviewer of bars, a job that drew the drooling envy of my friends, and more comments than I can count along the lines of “I can’t believe that you get paid to drink!” Then, as people turned thirty, paired up and had kids, I noticed less envy, more … [Read more...] about The Pitfalls of Reviewing Restaurants

If you wrote like Joan Didion—whose beam on the unalloyed truth moves her to write even when she is mad with grief you’d have to acknowledge that the process you call “discovering what's on my … [Read more...] about My Oven, J’Accuse!

    Pie

    If you have ever been to Nancy Rommelmann's house, you will have had many baked goods pressed into your hands, some of which are the best darn chocolate chip cookies, pies, truffles I've had. Her kitchen is like a bakery where the proprietress has plenty of time to chat and offer sage advice with a warm slice of pie. FDWhy You Don’t Want the PieI recently walked into a … [Read more...] about Why You Don’t Want the Pie
