Kylenari Wedding Cookies

When our son Kyle and his fiancée Ari got married, David and I, as parents of the groom, made bottles of lilikoi liqueur to give out to all the guests. It was very special, we felt quite satisfied and looked forward to the wedding with anticipation. But as the wedding date approached, something began to nag at us, something about the children guests... What about them? They were not going to get liqueur. If I were a child at this wedding, I would be most unhappy to be one of the few who would not … [read more...]

Alfajores Cookie Recipe

Alfajores are a beloved Latin American sweet that is treasured everywhere as much for its filling of Dulce de Leche as for the completed sweet cookie itself, which is often encased in chocolate, or sometimes, as in our recipe below, rolled in coconut. There are probably as many recipes for Alfajores as there are houses in Latin America, but the commonalities they share is the baked sweet wafer and the filling of Dulce de Leche. These take a little time to make, but hey, what are we here for? They … [read more...]
