 Sweet Tooth
Celebrate life with dessert at Bistro V.
By Jan Walsh
Dessert at Bistro V is always a must. And I don’t even have a sweet tooth. Partner and Pastry Chef, Emily Tuttle Shell creates desserts like your grandma made: strawberry shortcake on a warm biscuit, fresh peach poundcake, and beautiful cobblers. And she whips up the most marvelous macaroons for their special Valentine’s dinners. Today she shares her cobbler recipe. I plan to make it for July 4th 250th Celebration!

Bottega Cafe and Chez Fonfon's Coconut Pecan Cake Recipe
Make this famous cake for the holidays.
By Jan Walsh
It happens every year. People want Bottega Cafe and Chez Fonfon's famous coconut and pecan cake for their holiday dessert. And if you order early, it can happen. But many procrastinators wait until the last minute and some even ask me if I can get one for them. How about this instead? Try baking it at home. Thank you, Frank Stitt for sharing the recipe with us at Birmingham Restaurants.
