Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

I’m not a big steak person, but this is really special, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut from the short loin section, this large boneless roast is one of the most tender pieces of beef you can buy. Which also makes it an expensive cut of meat (and one that I reserve exclusively for very special occasions, such as the holidays). Because of that, the pressure is on: you don’t want to screw it up!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to select a good-quality cut of meat from a reputable butcher or market. You can use this recipe to prepare a whole tenderloin, which can range in size from 4 to 6 lbs. Or, have your butcher cut a smaller tenderloin—I used a 3 lb roast—for fewer people. Ideally choose the thicker butt end, although if you get the tail end, tuck the tail under and tie the roast every 1 to 2 inches; this ensures that the roast is about the same size throughout and will roast evenly. Also, make sure you trim the silverskin off of the tenderloin (before you tie it!), as the silverskin becomes tough when cooked, and makes the tenderloin difficult to slice once roasted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because I always make this with a flavorful sauce to serve alongside, there’s no need to do anything much to the tenderloin except season it with salt and pepper and pop it into the oven (in a roasting pan, on a rack) to roast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Here are the temperatures you are aiming for when roasting:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>120°F to 125°F for rare\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>125°F to 130°F for medium rare\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Once you take the tenderloin out and transfer it to a cutting board, tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 20 or up to 30 minutes before slicing. This gives the meat a chance to re-absorb the liquid inside, keeping it juicy and flavorful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enjoy this with that incredible bottle of full-bodied red wine that you’ve been saving.

I’m not a big steak person, but this is really special, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut from the short loin section, this large boneless roast is one of the most tender pieces of beef you can buy. Which also makes it an expensive cut of meat (and one that I reserve exclusively for very special occasions, such as the holidays). Because of that, the pressure is on: you don’t want to screw it up!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to select a good-quality cut of meat from a reputable butcher or market. You can use this recipe to prepare a whole tenderloin, which can range in size from 4 to 6 lbs. Or, have your butcher cut a smaller tenderloin—I used a 3 lb roast—for fewer people. Ideally choose the thicker butt end, although if you get the tail end, tuck the tail under and tie the roast every 1 to 2 inches; this ensures that the roast is about the same size throughout and will roast evenly. Also, make sure you trim the silverskin off of the tenderloin (before you tie it!), as the silverskin becomes tough when cooked, and makes the tenderloin difficult to slice once roasted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because I always make this with a flavorful sauce to serve alongside, there’s no need to do anything much to the tenderloin except season it with salt and pepper and pop it into the oven (in a roasting pan, on a rack) to roast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Here are the temperatures you are aiming for when roasting:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>120°F to 125°F for rare\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>125°F to 130°F for medium rare\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Once you take the tenderloin out and transfer it to a cutting board, tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 20 or up to 30 minutes before slicing. This gives the meat a chance to re-absorb the liquid inside, keeping it juicy and flavorful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When I was a kid, I had a borderline obsession with White Cheddar Cheez-It crackers. I actually wouldn’t even touch the standard orange variety — their bright color simply couldn’t compete with that finger-licking white powder coating each of my favorite crackers. I’ve stopped buying Cheez-Its myself (they’re dangerous to have in the kitchen), but I’ll still gladly dig into a box should it appear at a friend’s house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even better than these clandestine nibbles are cheese crackers made at home. Sure, they may not come coated in cheese powder, but their flavor is unmatched by anything you can find in the store. Plus, you can customize the cheese blend, as well as add any flavorful accoutrements, as you see fit. Homemade crackers seem intimidating, but they're basically just savory cookies — something anyone can make. Plus, a jar of these crackers makes a great stocking stuffer or hostess gift for the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/grated-cheese.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/grated-cheese.jpg\" alt=\"Finely grate the cheese for best results.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Start by gathering your cheese.\u003c/strong> I like to use a mix of sharp white cheddar for nostalgia’s sake and Parmesan for its salty aged flavor. You can use a different mix if you prefer, but don’t go overboard with soft cheeses like blue, chevre, or mozzarella. The crackers won’t hold up as well. Finely grate the cheese to make sure that it fully incorporates into the cracker dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From here, the cracker recipe proceeds just like cookies:\u003c/strong> First, cream butter together with the cheese. A stand mixer makes the dough super easy to throw together, but you could make it by hand if you don’t have a mixer. I also like to add salt and a hefty dose of cracked black pepper. The pepper is an excellent foil to the salty, creamy cheese, but feel free to go crazy with whatever spices you like. Smoked paprika would taste great, as would herbes de Provence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/ground-pepper.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/ground-pepper.jpg\" alt=\"A full teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper adds a bite to these crackers.

The cornstarch lowers the gluten content of the dough. Unlike cookies, these crackers don’t contain a ton of butter, which coats the flour and prevents long strands of gluten from forming. Long gluten strands equal tough crackers — not a good thing. Adding a bit of cornstarch makes up for the low amount of butter, and it keeps the crackers crisp and light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/mixed-dough.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/mixed-dough.jpg\" alt=\"The cracker dough comes together in a matter of minutes.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When I was a kid, I had a borderline obsession with White Cheddar Cheez-It crackers. I actually wouldn’t even touch the standard orange variety — their bright color simply couldn’t compete with that finger-licking white powder coating each of my favorite crackers. I’ve stopped buying Cheez-Its myself (they’re dangerous to have in the kitchen), but I’ll still gladly dig into a box should it appear at a friend’s house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even better than these clandestine nibbles are cheese crackers made at home. Sure, they may not come coated in cheese powder, but their flavor is unmatched by anything you can find in the store. Plus, you can customize the cheese blend, as well as add any flavorful accoutrements, as you see fit. Homemade crackers seem intimidating, but they're basically just savory cookies — something anyone can make. Plus, a jar of these crackers makes a great stocking stuffer or hostess gift for the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/grated-cheese.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/grated-cheese.jpg\" alt=\"Finely grate the cheese for best results.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Start by gathering your cheese.\u003c/strong> I like to use a mix of sharp white cheddar for nostalgia’s sake and Parmesan for its salty aged flavor. You can use a different mix if you prefer, but don’t go overboard with soft cheeses like blue, chevre, or mozzarella. The crackers won’t hold up as well. Finely grate the cheese to make sure that it fully incorporates into the cracker dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From here, the cracker recipe proceeds just like cookies:\u003c/strong> First, cream butter together with the cheese. A stand mixer makes the dough super easy to throw together, but you could make it by hand if you don’t have a mixer. I also like to add salt and a hefty dose of cracked black pepper. The pepper is an excellent foil to the salty, creamy cheese, but feel free to go crazy with whatever spices you like. Smoked paprika would taste great, as would herbes de Provence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/ground-pepper.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/ground-pepper.jpg\" alt=\"A full teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper adds a bite to these crackers.

The cornstarch lowers the gluten content of the dough. Unlike cookies, these crackers don’t contain a ton of butter, which coats the flour and prevents long strands of gluten from forming. Long gluten strands equal tough crackers — not a good thing. Adding a bit of cornstarch makes up for the low amount of butter, and it keeps the crackers crisp and light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/mixed-dough.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/mixed-dough.jpg\" alt=\"The cracker dough comes together in a matter of minutes.

We don’t make it every year, but every year that we do make it, it’s a huge hit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best panna cotta is just barely held together cream. It’s made of simple ingredients—usually cream, milk, sugar, gelatin, and some kind of flavoring—so use the nicest quality organic cream you can find. \u003ca href=\"http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-whipping-cream\">Straus\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://cloverstornetta.com/products/organic-dairy/organic-milk-and-cream/heavy-whipping-cream/\">Clover\u003c/a> organic is always a great choice in my book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of things I like about this dish: it’s relatively easy to make, you don’t need to turn on the oven, and you can make it ahead of time.

It’s made of simple ingredients—usually cream, milk, sugar, gelatin, and some kind of flavoring—so use the nicest quality organic cream you can find. \u003ca href=\"http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-whipping-cream\">Straus\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://cloverstornetta.com/products/organic-dairy/organic-milk-and-cream/heavy-whipping-cream/\">Clover\u003c/a> organic is always a great choice in my book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of things I like about this dish: it’s relatively easy to make, you don’t need to turn on the oven, and you can make it ahead of time. Also, it’s easily personalized, as you can pair it with just about anything, from fresh berries, any-kind-of-fruit coulis, or drizzles of caramel or chocolate sauce.

Even though this was years ago, I distinctly remember the silky texture of the soup, with the gentle earthy flavor of the Jerusalem artichokes. I returned home, determined to seek out these vegetables, which I’d never really heard of before, and re-create the soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jerusalem artichoke, also commonly called a sunchoke, is neither from Jerusalem nor is it a type of artichoke. In fact, it has no relation whatsoever to either. It is a tuber, a lovely little root vegetable, that is a type of sunflower. Like other tubers, they must be cooked, but can be roasted, boiled, or fried into thin crisps. I particularly like them pureed, as they have an incredibly silky texture. I always peel them, but try to choose less nubbly ones if you can, as they can be a real pain to peel otherwise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, a year or two passed, and one Christmas I decided to try to re-create the soup.

Even though this was years ago, I distinctly remember the silky texture of the soup, with the gentle earthy flavor of the Jerusalem artichokes. I returned home, determined to seek out these vegetables, which I’d never really heard of before, and re-create the soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jerusalem artichoke, also commonly called a sunchoke, is neither from Jerusalem nor is it a type of artichoke. In fact, it has no relation whatsoever to either. It is a tuber, a lovely little root vegetable, that is a type of sunflower. Like other tubers, they must be cooked, but can be roasted, boiled, or fried into thin crisps. I particularly like them pureed, as they have an incredibly silky texture. I always peel them, but try to choose less nubbly ones if you can, as they can be a real pain to peel otherwise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, a year or two passed, and one Christmas I decided to try to re-create the soup. I found a recipe from one of my favorite British chefs and authors, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rivercottage.net/about/meet-hugh/\">Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall\u003c/a>, tried it out, and it took me right back to that blustery night.

What is this “roasty” of which you speak, you say? Well, in simple terms, they are roasted potatoes (in fact, that is commonly what they are called in the UK, but if I call them that here it conjures up a different beast). But these are not your typical roasted potatoes. Oh no, they are something far more special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creamy on the inside with a thick crispy-crunchy crust on the outside, these are the potatoes that are commonly served for a traditional Sunday lunch alongside prime rib, Yorkshire puds. And although they are simple, and relatively easy to make, there is much debate as to the best way to make them and the perfect variety of potato to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband, a Brit, loves them.

Well, in simple terms, they are roasted potatoes (in fact, that is commonly what they are called in the UK, but if I call them that here it conjures up a different beast). But these are not your typical roasted potatoes. Oh no, they are something far more special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creamy on the inside with a thick crispy-crunchy crust on the outside, these are the potatoes that are commonly served for a traditional Sunday lunch alongside prime rib, Yorkshire puds. And although they are simple, and relatively easy to make, there is much debate as to the best way to make them and the perfect variety of potato to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband, a Brit, loves them. If I even mention them he gets a faraway look on his smiling face. In fact, unless I plan to make them that very same day, I better not even mention them. I don’t make them very often, but when I do, it’s an event.

For as long as I remember growing up, we’d always have turkey for T-day and for Christmas day. But I’m not a big turkey fan (unless it’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/13/deconstructed-turkey-a-succulent-alternative-to-a-thanksgiving-classic/\">deconstructed\u003c/a>), and the two holidays are so close together that it always meant turkey overload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, my decision was freeing. I could make anything I wanted! Well, sort of, because I typically spend Christmas with my family, and they seem to have opinions. Thus began the tradition of the Feast to End All Feasts. The planning usually starts in September between my brother and me (we seem to have the strongest, loudest opinions) and negotiations can take a month. Or two. I mean, you need to allow time to come up with an elaborate meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of the meal is always a cut of meat that is typically pricey and that we wouldn’t normally eat any other time of the year. All other elements of the meal, the starters, side dishes, and dessert, follow from and are influenced by that decision. Over the years we’ve made prime rib, chateaubriand, roast of veal, breast of veal, beef tenderloin, osso buco, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, and the list goes on. Always we choose the best quality, free-range/pasture-raised, organic meat from local producers that we can find (shout-outs to \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinsunfarms.com/\">Marin Sun Farms\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://prmeatco.com/\">Prather Ranch\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.avedanos.com/\">Avedano’s\u003c/a>!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75492\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/shortrib4a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-75492\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/shortrib4a.jpg\" alt=\"Beef Shortribs.

Nowadays, I still want our Christmas Day dinner to be elaborate and special, something we don’t do any other time of year, but I don’t want to spend the entire day sweating over the oven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter the \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/b?node=289940\">slow cooker\u003c/a>. Now, this is a great tool for anyone who wants to mostly be hands off, but still create some delectable braised meat. You do have to take the time to brown your meat and veggies, and be mindful of not putting too much liquid into it (it doesn’t evaporate as readily as if you were braising in the oven or on the stovetop), but it will free up your oven and stovetop and once it’s in, you are pretty much done. And the best part is, you can still be elaborate and create something decadent and special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75468\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/shortrib-crockpot26.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-75468\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/shortrib-crockpot26.jpg\" alt=\"Crock Pot slow cooker.

For as long as I remember growing up, we’d always have turkey for T-day and for Christmas day. But I’m not a big turkey fan (unless it’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/13/deconstructed-turkey-a-succulent-alternative-to-a-thanksgiving-classic/\">deconstructed\u003c/a>), and the two holidays are so close together that it always meant turkey overload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, my decision was freeing. I could make anything I wanted! Well, sort of, because I typically spend Christmas with my family, and they seem to have opinions. Thus began the tradition of the Feast to End All Feasts. The planning usually starts in September between my brother and me (we seem to have the strongest, loudest opinions) and negotiations can take a month. Or two. I mean, you need to allow time to come up with an elaborate meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of the meal is always a cut of meat that is typically pricey and that we wouldn’t normally eat any other time of the year. All other elements of the meal, the starters, side dishes, and dessert, follow from and are influenced by that decision. Over the years we’ve made prime rib, chateaubriand, roast of veal, breast of veal, beef tenderloin, osso buco, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, and the list goes on. Always we choose the best quality, free-range/pasture-raised, organic meat from local producers that we can find (shout-outs to \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinsunfarms.com/\">Marin Sun Farms\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://prmeatco.com/\">Prather Ranch\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.avedanos.com/\">Avedano’s\u003c/a>!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75492\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/shortrib4a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-75492\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/shortrib4a.jpg\" alt=\"Beef Shortribs.

Nowadays, I still want our Christmas Day dinner to be elaborate and special, something we don’t do any other time of year, but I don’t want to spend the entire day sweating over the oven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You do have to take the time to brown your meat and veggies, and be mindful of not putting too much liquid into it (it doesn’t evaporate as readily as if you were braising in the oven or on the stovetop), but it will free up your oven and stovetop and once it’s in, you are pretty much done.

Bet you didn’t think that would be my first reason? It is so beautifully and festively colorful that it just begs to be noticed. “hello! I’m so pretty!

And as a holiday bonus, I’ll tell you a few more awesome things about it.

I was originally inspired to make these by my friend Andrew’s sister Amy, who pulls trays and trays out of the oven during his annual birthday pig roast in Berkeley. As soon as they emerge from the oven, hot and crisp and slightly molten on the inside, they are snapped up. It doesn’t matter that nearly everyone burns their mouth eating them before they cool down. They are just that good. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Amy’s are simple (and simply delicious), they always felt like a treat, so for the holidays, I thought I’d upgrade mine to holiday status with fresh winter herbs and nutty gruyere cheese. Officially called gougères, these puffs are made from a dough called choux paste. When made without savory additions, the basic dough can be used for profiteroles, cream puffs, and éclairs—it just depends how you pipe out the dough (small rounds for profiteroles, bigger rounds for cream puffs, and fat lines of dough for éclairs), and what you fill them with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though these feel fancy and special, they are very quick to make and pop into the oven at a moment’s notice. They are great alongside just about anything: soup, salad, bubbly, or on their own. You can even bake them ahead of time and freeze them in freezer bags, then just warm them in the oven when your guests arrive. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Change them up and use different herbs or cheese, or even pipe a savory filling into them. Say, whipped goat cheese? The possibilities are endless. Just go make them right now. You know you want to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/gougeres-ingredients1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/gougeres-ingredients1.jpg\" alt=\"Herb & Gruyere Gougères ingredients.

Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat. When the butter melts, remove the pan from the heat, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until the dough cools to 140°F (60°C) on an instant-read thermometer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp> [gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"75251,75242,75249,75262,75261,75263\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs. When the batter has cooled, pour half the egg into the batter and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining egg and beat until incorporated. After each egg is added, the mixture separates and appears shiny, but it returns to a smooth paste with vigorous beating. Add the thyme or chives and gruyere and beat until incorporated. Let the paste cool for 10 minutes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Position 2 racks evenly in the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Fit a pastry bag with a 5⁄8-inch (1.5-cm) plain tip and fill the bag with the paste. For each gougère, pipe about 2 tsp paste onto a prepared pan, forming a mound about 1 inch (2.5 mm) in diameter. Space the mounds at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart. You should have about 36 gougères.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bake for 8 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C), quickly swap the pans, and continue baking until golden brown, about 13 minutes. Serve at once (they will be a bit more gooey on the inside) or prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon and allow the puffs to dry out a bit more, about 5 minutes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"75254,75253,75252,75259,75260,75258,75255,75256,75243\"]\n\u003c/p>\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

I was originally inspired to make these by my friend Andrew’s sister Amy, who pulls trays and trays out of the oven during his annual birthday pig roast in Berkeley. As soon as they emerge from the oven, hot and crisp and slightly molten on the inside, they are snapped up. It doesn’t matter that nearly everyone burns their mouth eating them before they cool down. They are just that good. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Amy’s are simple (and simply delicious), they always felt like a treat, so for the holidays, I thought I’d upgrade mine to holiday status with fresh winter herbs and nutty gruyere cheese. Officially called gougères, these puffs are made from a dough called choux paste. When made without savory additions, the basic dough can be used for profiteroles, cream puffs, and éclairs—it just depends how you pipe out the dough (small rounds for profiteroles, bigger rounds for cream puffs, and fat lines of dough for éclairs), and what you fill them with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though these feel fancy and special, they are very quick to make and pop into the oven at a moment’s notice. They are great alongside just about anything: soup, salad, bubbly, or on their own. You can even bake them ahead of time and freeze them in freezer bags, then just warm them in the oven when your guests arrive. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Change them up and use different herbs or cheese, or even pipe a savory filling into them. Say, whipped goat cheese? The possibilities are endless. Just go make them right now. You know you want to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/gougeres-ingredients1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/gougeres-ingredients1.jpg\" alt=\"Herb & Gruyere Gougères ingredients.

Come December, however, all of this wholesomeness goes out the window.

I’m not talking about the more famous peanut, which is far too idiosyncratic for the array of festive treats appropriate for Santa and his reindeer. No, for holiday baking, the pecan is king, its quiet sweetness and tender texture a perfect counter to the onslaught of sugar to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/puffs.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/puffs.jpg\" alt=\"Rolling the pecan puffs in sugar while still hot ensures a thorough coating.

My mom bakes these small round cookies in huge batches to hand out to friends, neighbors, and the endless stream of family members that files through my parent’s house at the end of December. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making the cookie dough is as simple as creaming together butter and a little sugar before adding vanilla, flour, and finely chopped pecans. The dough is as easy to work with as play-doh, so it’s a snap to roll out a batch or two. After baking for half an hour in a low oven, the hot cookies take a quick dip in confectioner’s sugar, which melts into the exterior. I like to coat the cookies with another layer of sugar once they’ve cooled. Don’t be shy with the sugar; the barely sweet dough can take it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75107\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/angel-bars-nut-mix.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/angel-bars-nut-mix.jpg\" alt=\"Angel bars are three-layer cookies filled with a flavorful mixture of pecans, coconut, and brown sugar.

The base of the bars is made like a simple sugar cookie—flour, sugar, butter, eggs—but the gooey middle section is where the cookies truly shine. Coconut and pecans mingle with more eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla; a mixture that bakes into a thin, sticky custard akin to pecan pie filling. A thin coating of lemon glaze brightens the rich sweetness of the rest of the cookie for a treat that’s impossible to put down. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the pecan puffs, angel bars are a cinch to bake.

Like a good poke cake, the glaze will seep into the nut layer, creating a more cohesive whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those looking for a little more of a challenge, try making a batch or two of pecan-filled divinity. Divinity is an early 20th century confection similar to nougat, marshmallows, and fudge. Its appearance in American cookbooks coincided with the invention of Karo corn syrup, which is a key ingredient in most recipes. (Of course, it is possible to make divinity using other liquid sweeteners, such as maple syrup, golden syrup, or honey, but for tradition’s sake, we’re sticking with good ol’ American corn.) Adding pecans gives the confection Southern flair; other nuts, dried fruit, or chopped candies are also fair game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make divinity, I start with a sugar syrup made with granulated sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. I boil this to the top of the hard ball stage (265-266 degrees). To prevent the sugar from crystallizing while boiling (always a risk when cooking a mixture of sugar and water), I eschew from stirring. Instead, I gently swirl the pan to encourage the sugar to dissolve and to eliminate hot pockets in the syrup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75111\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/hard-ball-stage.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/hard-ball-stage.jpg\" alt=\"Divinity is made by cooking sugar and corn syrup to the hard ball stage (265-266 degrees) before beating it with egg whites.

It is possible to make divinity using a hand-head electric mixer, but it’ll require a bit more arm power. Once the sugar syrup hits the magic temperature, I add it to the egg whites while the mixer is running. At first the mixture will billow and appear as if it will overflow out of the bowl. Have faith; it’ll soon subside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The egg white and sugar mixture will go through a few stages as it aerates and cools. First, it will look gooey and shiny, and it will shrink down to only a cup or so in volume. As it continues to be beaten, the mixture will gradually become lighter and fluffier, losing its gloss and looking much like butter cream frosting. Once it hits this point, I add the vanilla and chopped pecans, and then turn off the mixer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75108\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/divinity-final.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/divinity-final.jpg\" alt=\"Pecan divinity is shaped to look like soft clouds, and it tastes of sweet, nutty fudge.

Come December, however, all of this wholesomeness goes out the window. Bring on the butter, corn syrup, granulated sugar, and bright white all-purpose flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll bake whole-grain, gluten-free cookies in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where I grew up outside of Atlanta, GA, holiday cookies are always full of the state’s best nut. I’m not talking about the more famous peanut, which is far too idiosyncratic for the array of festive treats appropriate for Santa and his reindeer. No, for holiday baking, the pecan is king, its quiet sweetness and tender texture a perfect counter to the onslaught of sugar to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/puffs.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/puffs.jpg\" alt=\"Rolling the pecan puffs in sugar while still hot ensures a thorough coating.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the simplest holiday cookies to bake is the pecan puff (or Mexican wedding cookie, or Russian tea cakes, or \u003cem>polvorones\u003c/em>), a crumbly ball of butter, sugar, and nuts coated in enough powdered sugar to shower all over the counter, floor, and that nice holiday outfit you’ve just put on. My mom bakes these small round cookies in huge batches to hand out to friends, neighbors, and the endless stream of family members that files through my parent’s house at the end of December. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making the cookie dough is as simple as creaming together butter and a little sugar before adding vanilla, flour, and finely chopped pecans. The dough is as easy to work with as play-doh, so it’s a snap to roll out a batch or two. After baking for half an hour in a low oven, the hot cookies take a quick dip in confectioner’s sugar, which melts into the exterior. I like to coat the cookies with another layer of sugar once they’ve cooled. Don’t be shy with the sugar; the barely sweet dough can take it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75107\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/angel-bars-nut-mix.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/angel-bars-nut-mix.jpg\" alt=\"Angel bars are three-layer cookies filled with a flavorful mixture of pecans, coconut, and brown sugar.

The base of the bars is made like a simple sugar cookie—flour, sugar, butter, eggs—but the gooey middle section is where the cookies truly shine. Coconut and pecans mingle with more eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla; a mixture that bakes into a thin, sticky custard akin to pecan pie filling. A thin coating of lemon glaze brightens the rich sweetness of the rest of the cookie for a treat that’s impossible to put down. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The cookie layer needs to bake and set before the nut mixture is added to ensure a cleanly layered bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75113\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/angel-bars-glazing.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/angel-bars-glazing.jpg\" alt=\"Spread the angel bars with a thin layer of lemony glaze while they’re still warm.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Glazing the cookies while they’re still warm is the real key to the cookie, and the biggest improvement since its invention in the 60s. Like a good poke cake, the glaze will seep into the nut layer, creating a more cohesive whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those looking for a little more of a challenge, try making a batch or two of pecan-filled divinity. Divinity is an early 20th century confection similar to nougat, marshmallows, and fudge. Its appearance in American cookbooks coincided with the invention of Karo corn syrup, which is a key ingredient in most recipes. (Of course, it is possible to make divinity using other liquid sweeteners, such as maple syrup, golden syrup, or honey, but for tradition’s sake, we’re sticking with good ol’ American corn.) Adding pecans gives the confection Southern flair; other nuts, dried fruit, or chopped candies are also fair game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make divinity, I start with a sugar syrup made with granulated sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. I boil this to the top of the hard ball stage (265-266 degrees). To prevent the sugar from crystallizing while boiling (always a risk when cooking a mixture of sugar and water), I eschew from stirring. Instead, I gently swirl the pan to encourage the sugar to dissolve and to eliminate hot pockets in the syrup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75111\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/hard-ball-stage.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/hard-ball-stage.jpg\" alt=\"Divinity is made by cooking sugar and corn syrup to the hard ball stage (265-266 degrees) before beating it with egg whites.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As the sugar heats up, I work on the other major component of divinity: egg whites. These I beat to stiff peaks using a stand mixer. It is possible to make divinity using a hand-head electric mixer, but it’ll require a bit more arm power. Once the sugar syrup hits the magic temperature, I add it to the egg whites while the mixer is running. At first the mixture will billow and appear as if it will overflow out of the bowl. Have faith; it’ll soon subside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The egg white and sugar mixture will go through a few stages as it aerates and cools. First, it will look gooey and shiny, and it will shrink down to only a cup or so in volume. As it continues to be beaten, the mixture will gradually become lighter and fluffier, losing its gloss and looking much like butter cream frosting. Once it hits this point, I add the vanilla and chopped pecans, and then turn off the mixer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75108\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/divinity-final.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/divinity-final.jpg\" alt=\"Pecan divinity is shaped to look like soft clouds, and it tastes of sweet, nutty fudge.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
