You guys!! I’m so excited! I made my first video! The irony of this is that right after I finished editing it, I mean like right after, Nathan showed me a post that someone he went to high school with posted on Facebook basically blasting all the food videos that are popping up all over the place. So if you are in that camp too . . . and I totally understand why you would be . . . can we please still be friends? The thing about it is that videos are kind of taking over. It’s like if you aren’t doing video you are sort of in danger of being left in the dust. And while I think that my work is good enough to stand alone without video, there are certain recipes that I think are great in video form. Anything that has instructions that might be easily misread or might be confusing. And thins recipe has the potential to be just that. Sooooooo, want to check out my first video?? What do you think?? I don’t plan on doing videos for all my posts, but I plan on doing more for posts that are tricky or tend to be very popular. And I might even start doing a Cooking Basics series where I show how to do things like make a roux to thicken sauces. Or how to properly cream sugar and butter. Things that the beginner cook might find helpful. Still friends? This Cherry Almond Braid is amazing. It is so super simple, but it tastes like it came out of a bakery. I love the flavors of almond and cherry together. And all wrapped up in this puff pastry, its totally perfect!
