The City Sweet Tooth

A new doughnut place is on the scene! Doughnuttery (425 West 15th Street, NYC) in Chelsea Market. Doughnuttery stands out by offering small, freshly fried doughnuts (you can watch them swim in the fryer) that you can flavor as you like with their various sugar toppings and dips.

As doughnuts are part of Chanukah tradition I thought I’d post a bonus sketch I did based on one of my book tour stops in Portland, OR. The Voodoo Doughnut!

  I couldn’t go to Portland and not check out the famous Voodoo Doughnut!  I bought a yummy peach fritter and a bucket of day old doughnuts for $4. That’s right. A bucket!

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for a new cookbook, The Craft of Baking by Karen DeMasco. It was an elegant event at Locanda Verde with sample versions of the recipes inside the book.  Everything was delicious but here are a few of my favorites.
