Cosme

Finally tried the infamous Corn Husk Meringue at Cosme last night - yum! It was amazing. Food & Wine actually published the recipe so I'm now dying to try to make it. Cosme was really delicious. If you're looking for regular Mexican food, this is not it. This is really fancy, creative food with a Mexican influence. The duck carnitas is amazing, but definitely have at least three people to split it, it's huge! Mmm. Dinner was amazing. Still dreaming about this dessert. It's crunchy, creamy, and rich and has a little salt on top. So great. 

Gluten Free Plum Torte

One good thing about the end of summer is that it's time for plum torte! The little Italian plums come into season and this amazing dessert can be whipped up in a little over an hour. It's so good. The plums are tart and the torte is buttery and cakey. You can read the torte's history here. I've put this recipe on the blog before, but this time I tried it with gluten free flour. It was my first foray into gluten free baking and I was surprised - it was actually great! (A girl in my office is gluten free and can never eat any of the snacks I bring in so I wanted to make one she could eat.) I wouldn't choose it over regular flour, but it was surprisingly fluffy and nice.
