First Chile Peppers


The first chile peppers are starting to grow on my Long Sheng plants. I will use some of these fresh and green, but I'll let most of them turn red and dry them in my dehydrator. These are great in Kung Poa Chicken.

Linzer Sablés

Made it back safely after a fabulous cruise! Our luggage decided to stay away a day longer but apart from that everything was great. This week's Tuesday With Dorie recipe was picked by me! The first guy who joined the group finally got his pick :-) I choose the Linzer Sablés, so far I've enjoyed the European style recipes more than the American, maybe because I'm European and my tastebuds are more used to those treats? Anyway, I love the way they look with the jam peeking out of the little hole. I made mine with raspberry jam which I passed through a sieve, after heating it up, to get rid of the seeds. They were very easy to make and the taste of the cookies comes close to " speculaas ", must be the cloves. I'm pleased with my choice, it's not my favorite recipe but I would make it again. Here is the recipe: When I was a kid, the main street in our neighborhood boasted a bakery every two blocks. We always had freshly made bread from the baker closest to o...

This weeks Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was picked by Madam Chow of Madam Chow's Kitchen . When I read the recipe and saw that it uses the same brioche dough as we made for the Brioche Raisin Snails I was thrilled and scared at the same time, the dough is fabulous, but if you don't have a Kitchen Aid but just a cheap hand mixer it's quite a challenge. I decided to make the dough this time by hand because I think my mixer wouldn't survive another round with the brioche dough. The dough came together by hand a lot easier than I expected, I had to use some elbow grease but I would do it again this way. You need only half of the brioche recipe, I used the other half for more Brioche Raisin Snails because my brother keeps asking me to bake some more. I made seven buns, the rest I froze for a later date. We all thought that these buns were nice but way too sweet for our taste. When I make the remaining ones I won't use the pecan honey glaze but drizzle over the glaze that...

TWD: Gooey Chocolate Cakes

Image
Another Tuesday another recipe for Tuesdays with Dorie, this week selected by Leigh of Lemon Tartlet . She choose the Gooey Chocolate Cakes and what a good choice it was, we all loved them here! They were very simple to make, I also made the creme anglaise to go with it. The cakes and the creme anglaise complement each other nicely, as Dorie says, these cakes aren't meant to be served alone. As a lot of other members of the TWD group, I didn't have any chocolate oozing out, but it was close, they were very , very gooey. Ingredients: 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 4 ounces coarsely chopped, 1 ounce very finely chopped 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature 6 tablespoons sugar Preparations: Getting Ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter (or spray - it's easier) 6...
