Orange Blossom Pecan Pie

By Maureen Abood On November 27, 2019 · 2 Comments · In Christmas, Fall, Pastry and Sweets, Techniques, Winter, Your Favorites
Rich, brown-sugary pecan pie is made better with very toasty pecans and a whisper of orange blossom water. The flavor is as beautiful as it sounds: Orange Blossom Pecan Pie. A shocking moment occurred during the development of this pecan pie recipe. My tester group (Dan and sons) was miffed when I brought plates of [...]

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies with Orange Blossom

By Maureen Abood On December 11, 2018 · 12 Comments · In Christmas, Pastry and Sweets, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
Classic chocolate crinkle cookies with orange blossom is a perfect combo: deep, double chocolate flavor with the gentle addition of orange blossom water. Make ahead the dough and freeze the balls to bake off when you’re ready. I haven’t seen a chocolate crinkle cookie on a holiday plate, or made them myself, in a long [...]

Warm salted caramel sauce with orange blossom, with a plate of apples and salt

Warm Salted Caramel Sauce with Orange Blossom

By Maureen Abood On October 28, 2015 · 15 Comments · In Fall, Gluten-Free, Ice Cream and Sorbets, Pastry and Sweets, Techniques, Winter
Homemade salted caramel sauce is simple to make–mine includes a whisper of orange blossom water, so delicious with the caramel flavor. Serve the caramel sauce with sliced apples and more sea salt to garnish. It’s also wonderful over ice cream, apple pie, apple cake, banana bread, and anywhere else you like your caramel. The dinner [...]

Best Lebanese Recipes for Easter, a glass of ice water, and a word of thanks

By Maureen Abood On April 15, 2014 · 32 Comments · In Menus
It has always struck me that the first thing that happens whenever someone walks up the front steps and enters the home of anyone in my family, they are welcomed with a tall glass of ice water. It’s our pineapple, our refreshment. As my father used to say: don’t even ask them. Just put the [...]

Lavender-Orange Blossom Shortbread Recipe (Lebanese Graybeh)

By Maureen Abood On February 22, 2014 · 16 Comments · In Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes
Lebanese graybeh are a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies. They take beautifully to the flavor combination of lavender and orange blossom! I recently spoke to a group of high school students about life as a writer. They were having a whole week of writerly immersion, to encourage the idea that writing isn’t just about that pain-in-the-neck [...]

Orange Blossom Cream Caramels with Sea Salt. A mouthful of happy.

By Maureen Abood On October 29, 2013 · 12 Comments · In Christmas, Fall, Gluten-Free, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Winter
That title, I toyed with it: Cream caramels. Salted Cream Caramels. Orange Blossom Caramels. Orange Blossom Cream Caramels. Then, at last, I couldn’t hold back, and here we are with Orange Blossom Cream Caramels with Sea Salt. The editor in me is apt to lasso such an unwieldy thing as that title and shake it [...]
