Record Tripping - A Bell Brothers Game. Draw and Fold Over. IFF Recipes. Mama makes it best. August 2011. It's been a while since I made any macarons!
These are from earlier this year, when I invited some friends over for a macaron "workshop". We decided to make one batch with strawberries, since they were in season, and for decorations, I tried my food markers that Stephanie sent me! Turned out to be a brilliant idea that I'll use many more times - the finished cookies were so cute. And tasty, of course! Strawberry Macarons About 20 finished cookies 3 egg whites, at room temperature 2 tbsp caster sugar 200 g powdered sugar 110 g almonds, blanched red food coloring, preferrably powdered. Combine powdered sugar and almonds in your food processor, and grind until very fine.
Beat egg whites and sugar until you have a thick, glossy meringue. Pipe small rounds on a baking sheet with baking paper. Bake at 150°C for 10-15 minutes. Strawberry filling: 1/2 batch buttercream 200 g fresh strawberries 50 g sugar Mix the strawberries until smooth. Add to the buttercream. Beat the egg yolks until fluffy. Some Old Favourites....and Some More That Just Didn't Make It. I always consider these "and here's some I didn't blog about" posts to be a bit like sawdust or clip shows - a sort of filler because there's a lack of inspiration and/or time.
And that's exactly the case here. Well, I'm not suffering from lack of inspiration but more lack of time. This Boiga Ballyhoo that Paul insanely embroiled us in is in full swing in our kitchen and there seems to be no end in sight.Not only are we grilling every evening (and, I admit it, sometimes just using the griddle pan - rain, you know) but we also have a 'social' barbecue organised for Saturday. I am refusing to eat any more burger based food products and am instead doling check sheets out to our hosts and forcing them to mark the burgers out of 10 instead.Don't get me wrong. We had a fantastical response and every single burger sounds absolutely delicious. 1) Smoked Haddock and Watercress Tart. 3) Another disaster: Oatmeal Meringues. 4) Magic Lemon Pudding. 5) Ina Garten's Parmesan Chicken.
Some Yummy Asian Recipes! For Father's Day, this year, I wanted to learn how to make some of my husband's favorite Asian dishes.
