These Tastes of Mine / Profiteroles. Oreo Tiramisu Cups! Welcome to my Oreo cookie heaven.

Oreo Tiramisu Cups!

I love Oreo cookies (who doesn’t?!) But eating Oreo cookies on their own can get just a tad boring so I always try to experiment with them; to keep things exciting, you know? After Oreo cookie cheesecake, I have been walking around with an idea of the Oreo tiramisu. When I was in France last week, where Oreo cookies are much more popular than they are in Belgium, I found mini Oreo cookies and there was no stopping me! Below the result! Ingredients (for 6 cups) 12 Oreo cookies (regular size) 6 mini Oreo cookies for decoration (if you can’t find the mini Oreo cookies, you can also decorate the cup with a half of a regular size cookie) 500g Mascarpone cheese 100ml double cream 100ml espresso coffee 100g confectioners’ sugar ½ teaspoon Vanilla powder 6 glass cups.Method In the bowl of an electric mixer, or by hand, beat the Mascarpone, cream, sugar vanilla and sugar.

When it came time to make the chocolate mousse layer, I was somewhat distracted with the kids, and hastily read the recipe's measurement for salt as 1 teaspoon. Wordpress/?p=3920. Ultimate chocolate cake. Untitled. I wrote another article for Honest Cooking.

I wrote about this deep dish pie, because I love it so much. The crust is the best part, and making it deep dish adds more of the good stuff, oh, and the filling too. Also, deep dish pies are really impressive. They stand on their own, outside of a pie pan and look like a baked-goods force to be reckoned with. Next time you make a pie from scratch, forget the pie pan and reach for your spring form pan. Deep Dish Raspberry Peach Pie: For the Crust: 1 batch Perfect Pie Crust For the Filling: 1/2 cup flour 2 tbs cornstarch 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 6 cups peaches: peeled, pitted and sliced 4 cups fresh raspberries Once your pie dough is completed, chilled and ready to go, roll out one disk (about half of the total recipe) so that it will sit in your spring form pan with about a 1 inch overhang.

Unfold and smooth any rips or tears with your fingers. Preheat oven to 375. In a separate bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and sugar, then whisk to combine. Grilled Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons Recipe. We’ve got teeny tiny grilled cheese sandwiches floating in our soup today!

Grilled Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons Recipe

And a Panini Press giveaway sponsored by Sargento! I was first captivated by the idea of grilled cheese croutons on Pinterest and could not wait to make some of my own. Grilled cheese and tomato soup was my all-time favorite “special” lunch growing up (and probably still is today). It was a back-to-school lunch that I didn’t actually eat at school, as it was a challenge to keep a sandwich warm during the school day and forget about trying to wrangle a hot soup in a Thermos. It was a special treat for the weekends. Oven Baked Garlic Potato Fries. Happy Hump Day!

Oven Baked Garlic Potato Fries

Its "The Happy Hour" here at The Slow Roasted Italian every Wednesday we will be bringing you fantastic dishes you would find at happy hour. Today we have oven baked Garlic Wedges (Fries). These are fabulous, flavorful and crispy. The perfect fry out of your own oven. The garlic seemed overwhelming while it was baking, but the flavor was perfect when it was done. Souvlaki For The Soul. Why do I feel a little guilty about purchasing “out of season” produce?

Souvlaki For The Soul

Take for example these baby Roma tomatoes. In the midst of our winter, they were on display at one of the chain supermarkets. Glossy, shiny and plump...they were screaming “buy me...buy me!”. I know that summer produce tends to taste better in the season it was intended for. I also know that we are lucky to have a varied climate here in Australia that can produce all types of fruit and veggies all year round. And please don't get me wrong. There really is nothing better than picking up heirloom tomatoes in their prime and consuming them at the height of warm weather. When I “brought together” this tomato tart of sorts (and really, apart from switching on the oven, thawing the pastry and a little mixing there really wasn't much cooking) my friend said to me he was happy to see a little bright colour in the midst of winter. The Flourishing Foodie: Rainbow Birthday Cake.

On Sunday, it was my Mr.

The Flourishing Foodie: Rainbow Birthday Cake

Man's birthday - the big 30. Durian Snowskin Mooncake. Making mooncakes, contrary to what most people think, is not difficult.

Durian Snowskin Mooncake

The pretty, exotic molds lend a wow factor which belies the simplicity of the modern day process of making this traditional celebratory pastry. Modern day accessibility allows one to purchase a myriad of ready made lotus paste in a wide array of exotic flavours. I don't believe I know of anyone who would cook their own lotus paste from scratch, a process that entails long arduous continuous stirring over a boiling cauldron....

Compared to the traditional baked mooncake, the Snow Skin Mooncake is even more beginner friendly. Not requiring baking of any sort, the process only involves mixing of cooked glutinous flour (store bought), sugar and shortening before wrapping this dough with the ready made filling. For me, the Durian Mooncake will always be associated with Goodwood Park Hotel. Chiftele Italiene de Cartofi. Nu stiu cum sunteti voi, dar mie imi e imposibil sa apreciez cantitatea exacta de piure pe care o vor manca 2 oameni... nu mai zic cand trebuie sa fac piure pentru mai multe persoane... the horror!

Chiftele Italiene de Cartofi
