I think my favorite cobbler was a recipe I developed with Chef Joshua Mackintosh for an ACF student chef competition. We used raspberries, blueberries, strawberries & dark chocolate chips for the filling. It was delicious. Josh came in second place... hmmm \I'm not sure I agreed with that evaluation! hahaha

To me, Carrot Cake is a vegetable! There aren't too many childhood food memories I have of which weren't Italian... My mother 'Claire's Carrot Cake' is one of the best!

Cooking and baking with fresh, local fruit is simply amazing! I was inspired to bake three fruit clafoutis using a recipe I learned from acclaimed Pastry Chef, Dieter Schorner. I was a young poissonnier at Le Cirque restaurant in NYC many years ago-Chef Schorner was the Pastry Chef.
