Tasha Tudor Reigns

As if illustrating A LITTLE PRINCESS and THE SECRET GARDEN, raising corgis, and running a Vermont farm wasn't enough, Tasha Tudor also wrote a cookbook. I found it in a used bookstore in upstate NY and have fallen in love with it (see my post on her blueberry muffins in August 2011). With a few ripe pears left from a Harry & David shipment sent by my friend Judy Kessler of the publisher Creative Homeowner, I made Tudor's recipe for coffee cake this morning. Such a nice contrast between the moist cake and the crunchy, pecan-laced topping. I brought most of it to choir. Nothing gets a group of singers more excited than free, hot food.
