The very first recipe for the new cookbook!/ by Shelley Lance, Cookbook Co-author

Here it is, the very first recipe that Garrett Melkonian (pastry chef extraordinaire, previous TDR executive pastry chef, and, for now, our cookbook recipe developer) has developed for the Dahlia Bakery Cookbook which is now in the works. Here are some just-baked Cranberry Orange Muffins. Don’t these look divine?  Wish I had one right now to go with the cup of coffee sitting next to me.

By the way, though this batch was baked with the pretty red paper liners the Dahlia Bakery uses, you could use any paper liners, and we baked these muffins in a regular home-style muffin pan purchased for this purpose at City Kitchens, not in the heavy-weight, professional muffin pans the pastry bakery uses.  Of course, we baked them in our little home-style stove in the test kitchen, not in our professional convection ovens. These are just some of the ways we’re making sure the recipes we create will work perfectly in your home kitchen!

So exciting, we really are on our way…….!

    Wait, you and Tom are doing a cookbook without me? Bummer.
