The Best French Onion Soup (...ever!)

The Best French Onion Soup (...ever!)
The last recipe I posted for French Onion soup was from Cook’s Illustrated and the soup came out great. So when I saw that they had an updated recipe, I had to give it a try. The big change between the recipes was that the updated version calls for caramelizing the onions in the oven rather than on the stove top. The Best French Onion Soup From: Cook’s Illustrated Serves 6 Notes: For the best flavor, make the soup a day or 2 in advance.

Garbanzos con Quinoa | especiero en la cacerola The Life-Changing Loaf of Bread It took me a long time to settle on the title for this post. Why? Because it’s quite a statement to suggest that a humble loaf of bread will change your life. I am willing to be so bold. When I began eating healthier, bread was definitely on my hit list. Now, that isn’t to say that my love affair with bread ended there. People often ask me why I don’t bake my own bread, and the answer is simple: the Danes just do it better. It wasn’t until I went for lunch at a friend’s place a couple weeks ago that my life changed. Friendly Fiber: Psyllium Seed HusksYou’re probably asking yourself how the heck this bread holds itself together without any flour. Psyllium seed husks are one of nature’s most absorbent fibers, able to suck up over ten times their weight in water. Psyllium seed husks contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. But what does this have to do with bread? Psyllium is available at health food stores and most pharmacies. Now, allow me to explain the title. Third. Directions: 1. 1.

Macaron 101: French Meringue I have done it. The French Meringue 101 is finished. Two months of testing, almost 80 hours in the kitchen baking. Obliterating countless eggs and pounds of almonds and sugar trying to produce not only good macarons but also the maca-wrongs that plague bakers. Testing the limits of how many macarons my family was willing to accept ("Gah! Have I mastered everything? Before I get into that though, let me mention a quick note about emails: I'm wretchedly behind on answering them. Alright with that out of the way, let's rock n' roll. Macaron 101: French Meringue Disclaimer: For us non-professionals, macarons are frequently annoying and unreliable. What may work in my kitchen may not work in yours. This quote from the Times kind of sums it up: Even the professionals struggle with macaroons, says Meike Beck, chief home economist at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Not exactly a confidence booster, is it. Best left to the professionals though? Sure macarons can be pesky and frustrating. Equipment:

Yes I know, I blog a lot about macarons but even with all the information I've posted on the blog, I still get a ton of questions in my email box. An overwhelming number of emails, emails that I don't always have the time to answer punctually, so I felt a need to address the questions in one space on the blog. I'm posting a troubleshooting guide to help folks with their macarons. I'm also posting another french macaron recipe. One that I've been working on for almost two months. My counter covered in notes, which as you can see, are on paper towels. One of the hardest questions I've had to address with my baking has to do with hollows. When I make a batch of macarons, about 90-95% of the cookies are perfect and 5-10% will have a gap between the soft interior and the shell. Now when folks come to me with macarons like the one on the left, I tell them not to worry. Still the hollow problems that many people have seem to go far beyond the insides shown above.

Cremige Käsespätzle, mit Röstzwiebeln perfekt! sehr gut gut geht so schlecht sehr schlecht Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Sie haben dieses Bild bereits bewertet! Zubereitung Arbeitszeit: ca. 35 Min. / Schwierigkeitsgrad: normal / Kalorien p. Für den Spätzleteig die Eier und das Salz in eine Teigschüssel geben, und mit einem Handrührgerät verrühren, dann das Mehl langsam portionsweise zugeben. Dann den Teig in kochendes Wasser schaben oder drücken (mit einem Spätzlehobel), am besten sind für dieses Rezept Knöpfle, also kurze Spätzle. Eine der Zwiebeln fein würfeln, die restlichen Zwiebeln in Ringe schneiden (für Röstzwiebeln). Nun das Ganze ein wenig einkochen lassen, ein wenig Milch hinzugeben und abschmecken, dann noch ein wenig Sahne für den Geschmack, wenn alles schon schön cremig ist, den geriebenen Emmentaler (man braucht nicht so viel Käse da die Sahne und die Milch schon cremig sind) unterheben. Nebenher die Zwiebelringe in heißem Öl braten, bis sie schön braun sind, dann auf einem Küchenkrepp abtropfen lassen.

Stuffed Cheesy Bread on Crack This is Cheesy-Melty-Onion-Garlic-Love weekend. Stuffed Italian Bread is like onion-garlic bread on crack. Highly snackable, highly addictive, you find yourself unable to stop pulling those cheesy bread pieces and licking your fingers good after devouring each piece. Trust me. The only problem with it is those few agonizing moments of waiting for the bread to cool down a bit while drooling at the melted, gooey cheese between those oh so delicious cracks just so you don't burn your mouth when you do eat it. 1 Italian loaf, about 12 inches long 1 stick butter, melted 1/8 cup olive oil 3 tsp minced onion 2-3 cloves garlic, grated 1 tbsp dijon mustard 1 tbsp poppy seeds 3 tsp chopped parsley (add more if you wish) 12 oz grated cheese (I used a mix of white cheddar and monterey jack.) Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl. Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.

The Food Lab: Hasselback Potato Gratin (These Might be the Best Potatoes Ever) It's time for another round of The Food Lab. Got a suggestion for an upcoming topic?

Every online food recipe trend has its watershed moment, the point at which it goes from being a fun project to going full-on viral. You've probably seen them before. [Photograph: Joshua Bousel] At their simplest, they're made by slicing potatoes at regular intervals almost all the way through, then separating the ridges, adding a bit of butter or oil in between each ridge, and baking them until crisp and creamy. But to be absolutely honest, I've never been too happy with the way they taste. The main problem is that a Hasselback potato loses lots of moisture as it bakes because of all the slits. It's a sideways potato gratin, if you will.
