A video recipe for a PB&J cake
This PB&J cake from FRUIT CAKE is too easy to make *and* too easy to eat. I’ve still never been to Fire Island but I imagine it tastes just as good with a little sand on top. If you haven’t bought your copy yet, head over to food52 for the recipe.

A rather distraught spoon recites a poem about the trials and tribulations of baking from my book FRUIT CAKE: Recipes for the Curious Baker (William Morrow, 2020)
“The oven’s preheated
The butter’s well-beated
The dry’s folded into the wet
The chocolate is melted
The vanilla sweet smellded
The timer is precisely set
The pan has been filled Anticipation builds
Will it be a delight or a dread?
You forgot the sugar
Too late to recover
F#©k it I’m going to bed”
A very dramatic apple reads the opening poem from my book FRUIT CAKE: Recipes for the Curious Baker (William Morrow, 2020).
“First to show was sweet Clement
Richard often came and went
Unlike Sal who settled in
Instantly becoming kin
Thinking there was room for more
Florence flitted through the door
Leon, Gerald, Evan, Ray—
It seems their numbers grow each day
Exhausted as I try and try
Still these fruit flies will not die”
Proving yet again that it's not the holidays without some kind of gingerbread fiasco. Spread the cheer!

In celebration of the return of Downton Abbey this January, Martha Stewart asked me to recreate Highclere Castle, the real-life setting of the show, in gingerbread. I worked with design director Anduin Havens and Sam Seneviratne to turn 66 pounds of flour, 11 cups of molasses, and copious amounts of sugar into the walls and windows of the façade.
You can watch a video of the process on the Martha Stewart Living site, or read about it here and here.
I teamed up with Mouthfeel Productions to create a series of Thanksgiving web videos for Bon Appetit featuring food editor Dawn Perry. Each video provides a simple trick to prevent the most common mishaps of the biggest meal of the year. Watch them after the jump, and stay tuned for more tips as the holidays approach!
