In a separate bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar and season well with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Taste, adjust seasoning as needed. Top with the cherries and almonds and serve immediately.
I have been featuring “Oldie but Goodie” recipes over in the sidebar as a way to showcase older recipes that were reader favorites. This week’s feature is stained glass Jello for the 4th of July, and it was so popular last year that I thought it deserved another re-post. This is such a cool effect made with different colors of Jello and just perfect for 4th of July picnics.

well, this was the best meal i've cooked in months!!!!! had a craving for a beef curry - was thinking thai red beef curry but then decided to go for a rendang. Used the recipe in the old EDC to cook it, but made changes based on the feedback in this thread and the recipes i had in books here and online... served with coconut rice (just basmati with the leftover coconut cream & water to required amount of liquid) and a simple vegie dish it was utterly divine - geoff kept telling me it was restaurant standard!! into a medium size saucepan or frypan place the peanuts and heat to medium. when they start to brown you will need to stir regularly. when brown all over and smelling yummy get a strong potato masher and squash them a bit so you have some smaller pieces. pour into a bowl and when they've cooled for 5 minutes remove any loose bits of skin.
Supercute Strawberries - Supermarket 101 with the Supermarket Gu
If your local farmer's market or supermarket is like ours, you're probably knocking your cart into boxes of fresh, juicy strawberries. And while we have plenty of ways to eat them (out of hand, or in our new In Season: Strawberries recipes), we liked this supercute idea from Dove Chocolate Discoveries Chocolatier to turn the berries into a July 4th dessert: Dip into melted white chocolate and roll in blue-colored sugar. Patriotic!
Hungry Kittens
It's astounding that I practically lived in the city for 3+ years doing uni and never ate at this place. I recall they refurbished at one point and came up with the current cartoony shop front and food that wasn't just teppanyaki-based. Byron and I were in town last weekend. We arrived absolutely famished some time in the afternoon. It was pouring too. We had planned to go to Ajisen on George Street but with the increase in hunger and rainfall, we quickly changed our plans to somewhere closer.
March 20th is Jour de Macaron or Day of the Macaron! How can you go to Paris and not indulge (at least once) in these pretty, pastel treats? Well, I can’t! As I stroll down the winding streets, I’m drawn to the windows filled with an artist’s palette of colors paired with lush flavors…how can I resist…how can I choose? These beauties are from Ladurée, the inventor of the macaron as we know it today. No, they didn’t invent the little cakes, but Pierre Desfontaines, the second cousin of of the founder, Louis Ernest Ladurée, did us the great service of putting two cakes together to nestle ganache filling.

A Year of Slow Cooking
I made my very first Matzo Ball Soup yesterday. In the crockpot. I called my friend Jennifer and she talked me through how to make the broth and Matzo dough--she's not gluten free, but after a lot of googling and texting to confirm my hard-core journalistic researching I figured out what I should do. Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the chicken into your slow cooker. I used chicken quarters, and did try to take as much of the skin off as I can ( because of my weird issues ).
Being of Filipino descent, the craving for pork hits hard and often. We take pig seriously , but until someone can tell me how to make lechon in an apartment kitchen, I’ll have to settle for something more manageable. Whenever squares of pork belly lie in the fridge, my gut instinct tells me to consult the Chinese . Only recently have I realized that our neighbors across the pond revere Wilbur as much as we do. Fergus Henderson’s and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s homages to all animals snouted and hooved are as enjoyable to read as they are to cook from. When they say kill it and use the whole thing, they mean it.

Cooking Books
I've been getting more into candy making lately (I've always been into eating it), and I guess it's been fairly obvious because when a review copy of Nina Wanat's new book Sweet Confections: Beautiful Candy to Make at Home arrived at my apartment, I was ecstatic. First of all, it came tied up with a red and white string, literally (if you're humming songs from the Sound of Music right now, you're not alone). Not just a book on sweet confections, but a sweet confection in itself. Secondly, as most food-blog enthusiasts would know, when the photo credits are given to Diane Cu and Todd Porter, also known as the White on Rice Couple , they're bound to be stunning. Every single recipe has been photographed, more than once, and in large, full-page color.Both refreshing and rich: The beauty of buttermilk panna cotta -
Anyway, the point is this: There’s a lot in butter that’s not butterfat. The vast majority of that is water, and then there are milk solids, which are mainly sugars and proteins. Normally, all those elements are emulsified together, but you see them break apart when you heat it — ever notice how butter sizzles in a hot pan? That’s the water boiling furiously out of it.Running Fuel Recipes and Guidelines | No Meat Athlete

The second in my little series of guest posts is written by the overwhelmingly lovely Sara of Belly Rumbles ! She’s cooked for Margaret Fulton, has a ridiculously thorough weekly overview of all things foodie in Sydney and is mother to the one and only Josh v Food (check out his post on a giant schnitzel for instant feelings of fullness. Or hunger. Depending on how you work). I fell in love with Anna’s blog way back last year when I spotted a recipe for whiskey and pumpernickel ice-cream and fell head over heels again when I saw her more recent adventures.about us - Kids Birthday Parties Products | Party Accessories |
Our philosophy with party food as with everything else is keep it simple. You may be a great cook but most kids will be too excited and hopefully too busy having fun to sit down to a gourmet meal. Roughly chop the Mars Bars and place in a small saucepan with the butter. Cook over a medium heat until Mars Bars and butter have melted.Blogs
