Most worth-the-work Family Holiday Recipe! Danish Pastry Wreath Recipe

Friday, December 24th, 2010
To pull my mom’s leg we joke that the Danish Pastry Wreath is my Aunt’s recipe and it gets my mom going because it was originally a recipe that she found in a 1960’s or 70’s cooking magazine.  The proper credit to the right person for this Danish Wreath is a clue straight off the bat that the Danish is remembered and desired by all of my family members on Christmas.  Admittedly, the Danish takes a couple of days to make unless you want to cram all day long.  Also, it takes a bit of help from a friend with some baking experience if you haven’t done much bread baking in the past, but it’s worth it!
We typically serve the Danish with an egg casserole on Christmas morning.  Enjoy!

Savory Morning Bun @ La Farine: Oakland, CA

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

A friend works at La Farine in the Dimond District in Oakland and suggested that I try the Morning Bun, a savory ham, Gruyere, onion  pastry with a touch of dill.  It was out of this world good.  There was a slight crunch on the outside of the buttery pastry shell with moist, savory ham and a bit of dill on the inside.  Decadent and delicious.  I have to say it is just quality and is better than Bouchon Bakery, ah crap, did I say that?
