Blood Orange and Rosemary Cornmeal Cookies, From My New Cookbook

Blood Orange Cookies

This is a recipe from my new cookbook memoir, Eating Again: The Recipes that Healed Me. The cookbook is coming out on February 8, 2022 with Helitrope Books.

These were some of my most successful quarantine cookies. When I took them to my friend Lydia, the daughter of a pastry chef from Naples, she asked me if she could buy a batch. And that’s when I began to realize I was onto something that made me very proud, and happy. Even though they are vegan, they are extremely buttery and crumbly like shortbread. The rosemary gives them a rustic, savory elegance that I love in a dessert. If these cookies were a building, they would be a warm mountain chalet, and the addition of the blood orange juice as a binder gives them a deep, penetrating, and unforgettable essence.

sourdough granola

This is one of the most creative, inventive, and delicious ways to use sourdough starter. Catherine loves it, and you can personalize your own with your favorite herbs, seeds, syrups, and nuts. You can make it sweeter or savory, spicy or tangy. My version is the base on which you can create your very own signature granola. I was shy on the sugar because I like to snack on it throughout the day, and I don’t want to give Catherine too much sugar, but you can absolutely double up the sugar amount.
