guest post at the kitchn!

And this, friends, is what they call a tease. That pistachio brittle you see there—lightly salted and very nearly burnt—is absolutely, completely, through-and-through delicious. And I made it and I’ve got the recipe for you. I do.

But you’ll have to head over to The Kitchn, where I was invited to guest post as part of a series of holiday guest posts, to read about this treat. So, my instructions are two-fold: (1) check out the guest post (and make yourself at home while you’re there, because it’s a beautiful site) and (2) add this brittle to your holiday baking to do list. Got it?

See you back here on Friday for a bright little cake that will round out your weekend brunch (and, as a bonus, moonlight as dessert, too).

The recipe for this Salted Pistachio Brittle, adapted from Food & Wine, is here.

A guest post at The Kitchn?! How exciting!! And this brittle is seriously the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’m sure it’s delicious, too. It’s on the list for this weekend’s baking marathon.
