Macarons 11. Oktober 2009 Kommenden Mittwoch, 14. Ich runzelte meine Stirn. Dies also die Vorgeschichte zu meinem Experiment Macaron. und Stéphane Riss Diese beiden Videos habe ich mehrfach studiert, analysiert und verinnerlicht. Schon länger lese ich den fantastischen Food-Blog von Helen, einer Französin aus den USA. Für Versuch Nummer vier belegte ich die Küche meiner Eltern, da ich der Überzeugung war, dass Macarons nur in einem Umluftbackofen gelingen. Hier das Rezept von Tartelette Noch ein Wort zum Eiweiss.

Japanese Cheesecake (Fluffy & Creamy) When I tried the Japanese cheesecake with the very first bite, I have been fallen in love with it ever since. The velvety smooth, creamy, as well as the fluffy texture makes this kind of cheesecake stand out the crowd. The cheesecake is not too sweet, yet just enough to entertain your sweet tooth if you have one. This kind of cheesecake is always a big hit in Hong Kong and other Asian countries. For making this Japanese cheesecake, many people find it’s a bit hard to overcome two common problems that contribute to making unpleasant looking cakes.

guest post: brown butter rice krispie treats guest post: browned butter rice krispies treats I’m right in the middle of an 18-day stretch of work, so posting — and cooking, photographing, housekeeping, gardening, and spending time with my family – has been a bit challenging. To top it off, we lost a beloved pet – our almost 17 year old cat, Fritz – on Mother’s Day. All of this is to say that I could really use a break right about now. Thanks to my friend, Brian, from A Thought For Food, I don’t have to leave you all completely hanging. You can connect with Brian on Twitter and on Facebook, and, of course, through his blog. When Merry-Jennifer asked me to do a guest post for her beautiful blog, I immediately knew that I not only wanted to make something that she would enjoy, but a recipe that her kids would have fun making (and eating) as well. I’ve always enjoyed MJ’s ability to have balance in her life. In a way, MJ is a kid at heart. You may be thinking, “Really, Rice Krispies treats? Browned Butter Rice Krispies Treats Directions:
Knock You Naked Brownies Goodness. You have to try these. Here’s how it shakes out. Several weeks ago, I was gifted with a tin of brownies. To be specific: Killer Brownies from Dorothy Lane Market in Dayton, Ohio. They’re one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. While an official recipe for the Killer Brownies is not available, the classic layered brownie recipe known as “Knock You Naked Brownies” is rumored to be a pretty good match. I decided to whip up a batch over the weekend and see if they measured up. It was all in the name of research, of course. Start by dumping this into a large mixing bowl. What’s “this” you ask? It’s German Chocolate cake mix. Not Devil’s Food. Not Chocolate Fudge. German Chocolate. And if you’re not a cake mix person, don’t worry: because of the way the ingredients are combined, the end result just doesn’t have a box mix flavor. Finely chop up some pecans. You’ll need about a cup of chopped nuts, which you’ll remember is quite different from a cup of nuts, chopped. And some evaporated milk.
The Cook Abides. Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal.
Greek Nachos Whole Wheat Pitas This is an incredible Pita tutorial from The Fresh Loaf (much more detailed than mine) 2 cups flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 Tbl honey 1 packet yeast (or 2 1/2 tsp.) 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water, roughly at room temperature 2 tablespoons olive oil Method Combine the yeast, flour, salt and honey. Preheat the oven to 400*. If you have a baking stone (recommended) place that in the oven at this point as well. 50 Slow Cooker Recipes Life is busy around my house. Even though I have young kids, we are working on potty training, sharing, walking and just staying safe :) Toddlers are such a crazy and fun age! School is back in session, or almost back in session, and I am sure life is or will get busy taking kids to school, sporting events, extracurricular activities and pretty much anything that comes with the hustle and bustle of life. My mom was/is a huge fan of just throwing something in the crock pot in the morning and not having to worry about dinner the rest of the day.

Caramel Tart-Caramel Tarts-Chocolate Tart-Chocolate Tarts-Pasta Frolla Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 8th July 2011 When I finally decided on Lemon Meringue Tarts for the holiday weekend I knew I would have to offer another choice because not everyone in my family is a fan of citrus desserts. It didn’t take me too long to decide on the other option because everyone in my family loves chocolate. I decided immediately to pair the chocolate with luscious caramel. I also wanted to add a few different textures and flavours. I present to you pure indulgence, Chocolate-Caramel Tart – crispy, hazelnut sweet short pastry with four layers of goodness – caramel, toasted hazelnuts, dark and milk chocolate ganache, and milk chocolate glaze. I could have stopped with the dark and milk chocolate ganache layer but the chocolate lover in me took over. Wow! The classical pairing of chocolate and caramel is one of my favourites but adding toasted nuts brings any dessert to another level for me. I wish the kids enjoyed the pairing as much as I do.

classic ice cream sandwiches Look, guys, you’re never going to see my living room on a design blog. As lovely as the walls in landlord-chosen sallow yellow-beige are, as handsome as this coffee table once was (before the finish chipped off the top and we decided to ignore it until it fixed itself), and as charming as the explosion of half-deflated balloons, overturned fire trucks and other toys (some not even wooden, organic, or in sync with our decorating scheme, which, by the way, doesn’t exist) might be, this is hardly the stuff of Pinners’ Envy. Our parties are equally uncoordinated. There are no Mason jar cocktails with homemade bitters, flour sack table runners, or dishes sprinkled with fresh herbs from our window box garden (which also, uh, doesn’t exist, although if you saw the grime that accumulates on our windowsills from the avenue below, you might thank us). We’ve never sent guests home with a party favor aside from a hangover and we usually forget to make coffee at brunch.
