How To Cut A Whole Watermelon Neatly
Here’s how you get the most equally sized cubes in one shot. Ever wondered what is the best way to get the most “pretty” and uniformed sized cubes of fruit, without too much waste (as in, the small corners that aren’t usable for display). Well, you will be surprised. This method is not how most…
Make Refreshing Pineapple or Mango Sorbet for Dessert: 4 Ingredients!, fruit
Who needs cake when the ices are just so good? UPDATE for 2023: I did not like the quality of the coconut milk available during the Pesach 2023 season. Hence, after the first couple batches, I made my mango sorbet rather with a mixture of fresh mango and simple syrup. I filled a 32 oz…
Ready for Baking? Make and Freeze This Apple Crumb Galette
The crumbs are the perfect addition to this apple version of our popular galette. One of the first recipes ever published here on BCP was this fruit galette. In the past I’ve only made this recipe using plums. I would begin making them midsummer and freeze a few raw to be baked during the fall….
Taste It and You’ll Love It: Refreshing Apricot Compote
You won’t believe how much you’ll enjoy this refreshing, light fruity apricot dessert.

Do You Love a Classic Crispy Raspberry Crumble Bar?
We made these with both raspberry and apple filling for a welcome change. The secret? Use a hard pan, not a disposable for perfect crispiness in every bite. Sure, you can make these in a 9×13 pan. But, skip the disposable this time. Use a real, hard pan. Since we love these bars so much,…

What’s more fun? Making this sugar-coated fruit, or eating it? It was a Wednesday night and instead of doing homework, baths, brushing teeth… we were busy watching chefs cook interesting and unusual dishes online. “One more!” was heard after each short video, followed by either “that’s so yummmmm” or, more often than not “ewww who…
A Completely Incredible Apple Cobbler Cinnamon Bun Pie (Yes, That’s the Name!)
Yes. It’s all that but also it tastes even better than it sounds Every once in a while you stumble upon a recipe that is so unique, and so good, you know it belonged to some grandmother in Hungary. You can picture that grandmother wearing her apron in her old-fashioned kitchen as you bite into…
The Healthy-Ish Apple Date Crumble (That Just Happens to be Gluten Free Too)
It’s still dessert, but this apple date crumble will have you feeling good as you end the meal. Salads should be healthy. Desserts, not. I’ve learned that it’s very hard to make a completely healthy dessert that’ll give you that after-the-meal satisfaction that desserts are supposed to bring (there are some rare exceptions). Rather than…
