Chocolate Stout Cherry Pie. This is a baking PSA, a result of an ongoing panic attack I’ve been having since I turned my book into the publisher. I’ve been convinced that most people who attempt to make my Chocolate Stout Cake with Raspberry Chocolate Ganche won’t know there is a difference between weight ounces and fluid ounces, confuse the two and end up with a failure.

These things keep me up at night. Because if you make a recipe of mine and it fails, I feel awful, even if the recipe isn’t to blame. Even if you are totaly to blame for the failure, I still feel terrible. Weight ounces and fluid ounces are not the same thing. Weight ounces measure weight, fluid ounces measure volume. Take a bag of chocolate chips, for example. 12 weight ounces of chocolate equals about 16 fluid ounces. Cheese is the same. 8 weight ounces of shredded cheese is about 16 fluid ounces. Flour is even worse. Generally, 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) of flour is only 4 weight ounces. The take away: Chocolate Stout Cherry Pie Ingredients Directions. Cinnamon Cookies. If you are in search of the perfect cookie to serve with your coffee or tea, look no further. I have been trying out dozens of variations of these cookies (to the detriment of my waistline) but this one, which I have triple tested is by far the best.

Not your usual old butter cookie, they have the subtle taste of cinnamon and are guaranteed to be crisp, and bake perfectly every time. They are a perfect size to fit onto your saucer and are pop-in-your -mouth delicious. Once you have made your dough, roll it into a sausage shape, wrap with cling film and refrigerate for about an hour so that the dough becomes firm. Cut the firm dough into small pieces and roll in the palm of your hands to form 3cm rounds. Place these on a baking tray that has been greased and flatten slightly.

Strawberry Shortcake | Southern Boy Dishes. Along with Lemon Icebox Pie, I think Strawberry Shortcake is the one of the ultimate desserts for this time of year. This recipe in particular makes me a happy guy! I love the combination of the tartness and sweetness of the strawberries; the smooth whipped cream; and the warm, sweet, crumbly, buttered biscuit. I’m not sure how you can top this treat for a summertime dessert. Nowadays, you can find strawberries all year-round, but always look for berries that are bright red and fragrant. Ingredients (Adapted from New Basics Cookbook) For the strawberries: 1 pint fresh strawberries, trimmed and sliced 1/4 cup sugar For the whipped cream 1 cup heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the biscuits: 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and very cold 3/4 cup half and half 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons course sugar Mint leaves, for garnish Instructions For the whipped cream:

Mini Strawberry Chocolate Tart with Whipped Goat Cheese & Basil Micro Greens | V. Let’s talk about micro greens. Do you eat them? Do you grow them? To be perfectly honest, I had not had much experience with them before this spring. After planting my two gardens, I was still left with tons of seeds until I rememberd an article my Grandma sent me a few months back about using extra seeds to make micro greens. The process is simple and only takes between 7 and 14 days to grow. So while you are sitting around waiting for those tomato plants to produce fruit three months down the road, you could have already harvested six rounds of micro greens!

For this recipe, I used basil micro greens which complimented the strawberries wonderfully. Also, on the topic of new things, I was at the farmer’s market earlier today and my friend mentioned how her boyfriend eats the strawberries with the stems on. If you’d like to just make one regular pie size version instead of two miniature, just double the recipe below.

She’s the woman who gets all of my jokes and obscure sports references, who supports me in every little thing I do, and who’s taught me how to be strong and to go after whatever goals I set. She’s my best friend, and I have no clue how I’m going to handle being away from her next year when I head off to college. I’ll be taking full advantage of Skype and cell phone minutes, I can tell you that. Now, on to the cheesecake! This recipe may look a bit familiar. That’s because it’s adapted from one of the most popular recipes on this blog, the greek yogurt cheesecake. After a birthday dinner earlier this week (I’m officially an adult! This version may, dare I say it, be better than the original.

All together, it creates a light, refreshing dessert that nevertheless is rich enough to be incredibly satisfying.

Dovrei mangiare meno dolci possibili visto che sono a dieta ma questo soufflé era cosi leggero che mi sono sentita autorizzata a mangiarlo. La ricetta l'ho adocchiata sul blog di Limara ancora l'anno scorso ma l'ho messo da parte in attesa di trovare il rabarbaro fresco. Sarebbe stato un attesa infinita se non avessi fatto un giro al negozio di EatItaly di Genova dove mi sono imbattuta nelle confezioni di marmellate particolari come appunto il rabarbaro. Visto che la ricetta richiede proprio la marmellata ci ho messo un secondo a comprarla ed eccomi qui con il mio soufflé....un pochino sgonfio ( non ha retto al mio food styling) ma davvero buono.

Salted Dark Chocolate Truffle Cookies. Salted Dark Chocolate Truffle Cookies Anyone out there a fan of truffles? You know, the indulgent dark chocolates that have a smooth texture enroabed in a chocolate shell? Now imagine that truffle got baked so it had the texture of a fudgey chocolate cookie on the outside instead of a chocolate shell.

Add a sprinkling of sea salt on the top and you have these cookies. I can’t even explain to you guys how good these cookies are. Honestly. I made these on a whim because we were having friends over.

Cinco de Mayo Recipes: Mexican Chocolate Crème Brûlée. My mom takes her desserts very seriously. Her desserts must be just the right flavor, texture and temperature. My mom adores custards, so when we’re in a Mexican restaurant she loves ending her meal with a lovely flan. In her fairly fluent Spanish, she asks the server if the flan is “as smooth as silk,” or if it’s at all “gritty, like sand on the beach?” Quite a lot of pressure for the server, don’t you think? Typically they tell my mom it’s a smooth as can be, and about half the time they’re right.

Without any hesitation, I will serve this insanely delicious, perfectly smooth crème brûlée to my mom. It’s my favorite crème brûlée of all time!

Homemade Lemon Poppy Seed Lärabars! Spring is such an emotional rollercoaster. One day you're picking crocuses in the sunshine and the next morning you wake up to a winter wonderland. I think it's safe to say we've finally crossed into the gentler, greener part of spring! Honestly, what got me through it this year is kitties and lemons.

Yup. Because on those days when we were slammed with yet another snow dump, the kitties were either cozied up by the woodstove, or meditating in the snow, taking it all in stride. And really, isn't that the best way to await spring's arrival? The kitties know. As for lemons. Have you ever had a Lärabar? Well it turns out boycotts are pretty fun. I decided to try my hand at a lemon poppy seed bar. 2 cups raw cashews 1 cup golden raisins (these are a pale yellow colour) * 1 cup chopped dried apricots (get the brown, unsulfured kind, they are so much better!)
