Wow. It’s been exactly 10 months since the last The Gourmet Gourmand post. I could offer up apologies and say things like “I promise to be better in the future,” but as of right now I’m not entirely sure I will be better in the future. So instead,…

And… happy The Monday Before Thanksgiving everyone. Have you done your shopping yet? I nearly forgot it was holiday time until I went to the store this weekend and was distressed by the typical cannot-find-a-parking-spot situation that seems to be endemic to this time of year. I wanted to share…
Two dessert recipes in a row?! That’s what I’m talking about fellow Gourmet Gourmandians. If I had children I’d say these were a celebration treat for back-to-school. But I don’t. And these were made for no other reason except for the I-wanted-cinnamon-sugar-in-my-belly-now reason. Which, for some people, might cause a little…
Happy 4th of July everyone! I really couldn’t bring myself to do a red, white, and blue recipe. (I’m just not sure that the crafty-cutesy holiday themed recipes are in my blood). But! I did give my mom a little iphone preview of this tart and she immediately said “it’s…

This post should probably actually be called- Michigan Sour Cherry Pie: In which Sarah invents a new form of Gastro-tourism. I call it, Gastridiculousness. Let me begin the tale… I was on a rampage to acquire sour cherries while in Michigan. And, lo! acquire said cherries, I did. But not…
Okay everyone, I’m super excited to share my new recipe with you guys. This is one of those recipes that when you make the first time, you know it’s going to be something you make on repeat for years to come. It reminds me of the apple tart I had…
This is one of those family recipes that has been passed down over the years. In my opinion it is the best banana bread there is.. moist, tender, with lots of banana flavor. The trick to the recipe is only using bananas that are way past their prime. I know..…
This Queen of Sheba Cake recipe really is SO good. My mom used to make this for special occasions when we were growing up. It’s a rendition of a recipe from The Ovens of Brittany restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin. While I never went there myself (it has been closed for many…
