Well I am guilt-ridden when I am not working on my book...but I am unhappy when I don't make time for cooking: I am struggling to find a balance this summer. Today was very cool and a Sunday. So I indulged in a whole day of baking. Earlier I had promised thirschfeld a savory kugelhopf. Finally here is a gluten-free version. This pairs well with a dry brut, cava, or proseco. Because I only had manchego cheese, not gruyere, I then decided to cast a Spanish spin and add a pinch of saffron. I first enjoyed a classic version of this in the Alsace region of Europe where I lived for a few years. This cake had me at "hallo." It is much easier to make than a yeasted bread. The aroma will get you first....and then, the smokey eyes.
