Coriander Almond Financiers

I love summer.  As you can see by my noticeably absent presence on the web, I’ve been enjoying every minute of it.  While I’ve taken a break from work (and from blogging), I haven’t taken a break from cooking and eating!  Yesterday involved a trip to our local book store, where I devoured every new […]
