I’ll be baking Tsoureki / Greek Easter Bread for Easter.

This recipe has been working for me.

Tsoureki Muffins!

I may make these Lazarakia cookies for the first time.

Easter and Passover Inspiration

What are you planning to make, order and/or eat this Easter and/or Passover? I haven’t figured out what to make for Western Easter next weekend . I will make lamb and spanakopita, and Easter bread, on Greek / Orthodox Easter (April 24th this year). Thinking about stuffed grape leaves with avgolemono sauce, as well. This Easter bread/ Tsoureki Muffin recipe worked well for me.

I will probably bake some oatmeal raisin cookies for my dining companions this month

October - December 2024 COTM + COOKING FROM thread: NEW YORK TIMES COOKING (website & cookbooks)

NYT’s Baked Oatmeal (gift link below). The recipe calls for baking powder and an egg. I topped it with frozen local peaches and a sprinkling of sweetened coconut. With all the ingredients but the peaches at room temp (peaches were still frozen), it took 45 minutes to bake. I followed up with the broiler for just under 2 minutes. A little on the sweet side for my taste (easily remedied), but still was delicious. Infinitely riffable. Will make again. [NYT Baked Oatmeal]
