Anyone who says “cooking is in the blood” when talking about professionals is talking out of their ass. Eating well is in the blood. An appreciation of the glories of the table, of good ingredients well prepared, is in the blood. The enjoyment of a long lunch — at table with good friends, tearing into the good stuff made with love and pride — that, arguably is in the blood, or at least in your cultural heritage. But you’ve got that already, right? Otherwise you wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t have forked over thirty-five bucks to some publishing conglomerate for this book. Would you?

The April issue of Real Simple caught my eye with their piece on new decorating ideas for cupcakes.
Pictured above, chocolate and candy-coated sunflower seeds instead of sprinkles. This made me think also of those delectable candy-coated anise seeds they give you as an after-dinner sweet at some Indian restaurants. I know I’ve seen them at Kalustyan’s.
Pick up a copy of the magazine for other inspirations like toasted marshmallow-topped, and linzer-style as well as the recipes, of course.
