I forgot I had a potluck to attend last weekend, so I reached for an easy, reliable and always welcome recipe: Katharine Hepburn Brownies. You can find these brownies all over the Internet (at Patti Cakes, at Angelnina’s Cottage and The Gourmet Project, to name three). I found it in my Gourmet cookbook. You cannot, [...]

At first, I thought I’d make a pear tart of some kind, perhaps [...]
