Here is the first of many recipes and shows from my kitchen. Since most of the news department is broadcasting from their homes, I decided to do some shows from my kitchen. Here is a Pistachio Cake I created years ago. It is in my baking book The Complete Baking Cookbook and the recipe is below.
Food History is all around us. Today I made some Cashew Butter Cookies with Magee’s Nut Butter. Magee’s is located at the Orginal Farmers Market in Los Angeles and online. It was the first stand at the market that was not a produce stand. Magee’s has been around since 1912. Check out the YouTube video below on the story of the business. See which President Stopped past and what the Fab 4 had to say back in the 1960s. I guarantee that the cashews are the best in the world. Also, try the pistachio butters!
To get the “waffle” impression I use a cookie stamp from Nordic Ware. I have included the link below.

I am so lucky to reside in Southern California. A few times a year I head out to the Citrus Groves in Riverside. It reminds me to much of my childhood when we would take Sunday afternoon drives to visit family friends that owned Sunkist Groves in Cucamonga in the 1970’s. This time of year the blossoms are not happening as the trees are packed with fruit. In about 6-8 weeks I will return just to take in the intoxicating aroma.
Gless Ranch Fresh Citrus Groves www.glessranch.com
The Gless Farm is on the same street as the California Citrus State Park, A Park dedicated to the industry in California www.parks.ca.gov. If you have the time the citrus park is well worth the visit. If you check the times of the ranger tours you get a bag of one each of what is in the garden that day. The gift shop has a great display of historical kitchen tools for citrus and also citrus related jams, cookies, books and soaps for sale.
I picked up 25 organic lemons, 12 “pink” Lemons and 7 large avocados for under $12.
