Roll Me A Winner: The Anatomy of the Crepe Terrine Cake

Jackie Gordon Singing Chef - Roll Me A Winner: The Anatomy of the Crepe Terrine Cake

I was inspired to make this crêpe terrine cake after eating the raspberry crêpe cake at Chikalicious Dessert Cafe in New York.

Jackie Gordon Singing Chef - Cobb Salad Over Imagined

What if you had your way with the classic Cobb salad? As Frank Sinatra sang, “I did it my way.”

This is a Cobb salad that met up with a Niçoise salad that rejected its own fishiness. Not that I hate fish, but I thought if I add tuna and anchovies to this salad, on top of all the other things I already added, things would have definitely been a little fishy. ba-dum-bum-CHING
