LUNCH BOX HELP – French Toast
01-22-2012
The bread board and bread box in our kitchen on a Sunday morning is a sad junkyard of bits and pieces of loaves from the week. Everyone has their favorite, so you can’t go throwing away any little bit without getting in trouble. Paul has all his “experiments” that I need to try, no matter how long ago they were…
ART at Crossroads, Bryan Brems, Painter
10-26-2011
We are so pleased to have brand new paintings by Bryan Brems hanging in the Crossroads Cafe. His work is graceful and emotional. It has a unique perspective of Bucks County that embraces both the people and towns, as well as the landscape. I am a proud owner of one of his landscapes, and more and more people in…

Pizzawrap or Rizzo’s Revenge?
05-26-2011
LEFTOVER PIZZA is quite a common food item in our house. As you know from other blog posts, we make it a LOT at home and at the bakery. I had better clarify, truthfully, it is Paul who makes the pizza. Working the Friday night shift at the bakery, he often finds time to experiment with new toppings. Frankly,…

We were very pleased at the bakery to get a call from Gourmet Magazine, asking if we would be interested in publishing our Ricotta Pie recipe. A Gourmet reader had requested the recipe, and we were happy to oblige. We talked a few times with the test kitchen as they worked out the details of putting together this pie, and…

Comment – Great Salt Rising Bread!
04-27-2011
Hello Marcia, I received the package today and of course had to immediately slice, toast, and butter two slices. It’s definitely the best version I’ve had (and I’ve tried a lot of them) over a span of several years except for the several-years-closed Lawson’s Goodies Bakery in Leslie, Michigan; theirs was probably as good as yours. Whatever you’re doing, keep…
Recipe – STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
04-27-2011
See the instructions for throwing these shortcakes on the grill after the meat and veggies are done and the grill is cleaned up. The toasty flavor from the grill is the best for this perfect summer dessert. And don’t worry about the presentation! It is fine for these tender shortcakes to fall apart – they still taste amazing! FILLING for…
Canal House Cookies

I met both Christopher and Melissa nearly 20 years ago, when Paul and I first started baking in the area. Christopher frequented our stand at the farmers market in Doylestown, and is also the wonderful person who in 1994, got our bakery featured in Saveur Magazine. No one had heard of the magazine then, as we were very lucky to…
