Blogging is an international thing I understand, but I still want to extend a happy thanksgiving day to everyone that’s reading this and celebrated turkey day. And yes, I did 🙂 I cooked something on this wonderful holiday, and I will be posting in the upcoming days. I really want to post about the zebra […]
This classic upside-down apple french tart, although a bit challenging to make, it is extremely rewarding and perfect dessert for the upcoming holidays. Or if you’re like me, a perfect dessert period. Hope you won’t need the usual holiday-only-too-time-comsuming-I-need-motivation excuse to make it because it is really fun. It does take time, but you can […]
For the trained eye, those adept at baking and pastry making (hopefully not, because I need some encouragement here but I’m ready and could use some constructive criticism), this tart will show some basic execution flaws, like the walls aren’t thin enough or tall enough, and the filling doesn’t reach the edge of the crust […]
Fall is pretty much upon us and the start of a new cooking season begins. One that I personally find exciting and more fun. Not that I have anything against summer cooking, but enough with the salads already! 🙂 Today’s post is about brioche, this combination of flour, butter, eggs and yeast. Its delicate […]
And finally muffins up in here. Chocolate Zucchini Muffins to be precise. I think a food blog isn’t one until some sort of muffin recipe is in there but anyways I feel like I’v been in blogging detox for weeks… and it didn’t do anything to deter my wanting to get back into it. I […]
Cooking sweet things is something I’ve recently started to explore more often. It is quite fun, and pastry same as baking is interesting in a scientific way. All those reactions that make puff pastry puff, or choux paste expand yet be hollow inside. Why gluten formation will make butter-rich doughs tough, how temperature and humidity […]
After looking for salted cod for an entire day…in regards to baconbiscuit212‘s suggestion to use it in my fish croquette’s recipe from last week, I had to give up momentarily, I couldn’t find any, only frozen cod. I will have to continue my search next weekend which will probably land me in some cool yet […]
Finally had some time this weekend to get back in the kitchen. I kept thinking about heirloom tomatoes all saturday thinking about how great they could photograph. I also felt like I needed to practice some pastry dough making, always a good skill to work on and get better at. Pastries and party treats, feuillette […]
If you want to watch a great movie that revolves around passion for food, watch Big Night, super funny, great music, great cast, all the right ingredients and it’s on Netflix But anyways, I mention it, because I’m watching it it while I am trying to make sense of this post. NyQuil is messing with […]
Ok, this is probably one of the best things to ever have come out of my oven. An accident? very likely! Â Nutella and Yogurt, what a powerful combination turns out, Â simple and delicious and they were just sitting in my fridge …and I didn’t want them to go bad (not that nutella ever lasts that […]
