"cooking with" news and stories

Chandra over at Lick The Spoon has posted links to all of the entries of last Friday's Sugar High Friday event, "Candy is Dandy...But Liquor is Quicker." The idea, as you can probably guess, was to create and blog about a sweet recipe that involves alcohol. According to Chandra, there were 40 entries in this, the 18th round, of SHF. As some of you may remember, I submitted a sweet potato pie with bourbon, pecans and maple syrup. Some of my favorites were the gelled sparkling wine from Pint and Fork, the Frangelico honey panna cotta from A Blithe Palate, and the chocolate sake cakes (right) and raspberry spumante spoons from a belly in the wind.
