Stuff “the kids would wear” aka people under 30. There’s also a bunch of merchandise called “Molly Merch” with this look, including cross back aprons, which she helped to wildly popularize while at BA. I noticed the book design company was from France (oh la la!). It’s definitely very eye popping with its’ use of primary colors, cool graphics and high contrast, brightly lit food photography. The first thing I noticed was the design. When I finally got my hands on a copy, I was quickly wowed. So when I started hearing buzz about her upcoming cookbook, I thought it would be interesting and probably full of nice recipes. She wasn’t my favorite of the crew but her recipes were always creative and definitely delicious. I <3 this book so much!įirst off, I’ve been a fan of Molly Baz since her days at Bon Appetit. My thoughts on Cook This Book by Molly Baz.

Perfect dessert for backyard cookouts! Serves a lot of people and can stretch, especially with ice cream.The only ingredient I had to buy was cornflakes and the flavor and crunch they added was so unexpectedly good! I used frozen berries, which I always have in the freezer. Who knew lemon and cardamom could be best friends? If you don’t have cardamom or don’t like it, skip it or use cinnamon instead. It’s delicious! I loved the added lemon and cardamom.It’s relatively simple to make and in one bowl! No appliances needed.Best things about this mixed berry crisp? Frozen mixed berries work great! This ensured some whole flakes as well as some crushed ones. Before, they all got smooshed during this step. Since the cornflakes were such a nice texture, I also made sure to add some whole flakes to the crisp topping after rubbing the butter in. The crisp was a little sweet for me and I think I hit a nice note of sweet and sour. So, I decided to make this again with mixed berries instead and it was so much better! I also dialed down the sugar a bit too. Also, cooked blueberries don’t have much complexity in flavor. They cook down to a sort of gelatinous, mushy texture that I don’t particularly love. While I love eating blueberries, I didn’t enjoy this berry crisp as much with only blueberries. The recipe actually calls for blueberries only. The first time I made this recipe, I followed it to the letter.
