Simple Tip: Transfer Dough With a Rolling Pin
While baking a tart this weekend, I found myself needing to transfer some extremely pliable, rolled-out dough from a floured workstation to a baking sheet. Since I didn't want the dough, which had been trimmed into a neat rectangle, to lose its shape, I rolled it loosely back onto my rolling pin, deftly transferred the rolling pin onto a baking sheet standing by, then slowly unrolled it back to its flat shape to bake. Voila!
Perfect Holiday Appetizer: Ham and Cheese Thumbprints
I love recipes that take simple, classic ingredients — in this case ham and cheese — and recreate them into something sophisticated and elegant.

The Basics: Pie Crust
Years ago I was one of those people who thought making pie dough from scratch was difficult, a waste of time, and downright ridiculous. If the grocery store conveniently sold premade pie crusts, why on earth would I make one? Then I realized the reason I used store bought pie dough was because I was horribly afraid of being a pie-dough failure.
