Rhubarb Sorbet (Rababersorbet)

June 23, 2011February 27, 2019 add1sun

I loves me some rhubarb. We had a bunch of fresh rhubarb from Camilla’s garden and I’d been happily consuming rhubarb muffins. We were getting ready to go away for a little vacation though and I wanted to save all that lovely rhubarb, so I did a little poking around and decided that turning it… Continue reading Rhubarb Sorbet (Rababersorbet)

Sommerflæskesteg (Summer Pork Roast)

May 22, 2011February 27, 2019 add1sun

One of the first really Danish foods I fell in love with was flæskesteg. Flæskesteg translates simply to pork roast, so there isn’t anything particularly crazy about it, but the Danes leave the skin on the cut so you get an incredibly yummy, crispy pork rind with every slice. I like pig, and I like… Continue reading Sommerflæskesteg (Summer Pork Roast)

Daring Cooks: The dolmas that could have been

October 16, 2010February 27, 2019 add1sun

Our October 2010 hostess, Lori of Lori’s Lipsmacking Goodness, has challenged The Daring Cooks to stuff grape leaves. Lori chose a recipe from Aromas of Aleppo and a recipe from The New Book of Middle Eastern Food. Of course, in my normal fashion, I decided to not use the recipes provided but to make one… Continue reading Daring Cooks: The dolmas that could have been

Daring Cooks: Bourbon Berry Pierogis

August 14, 2010February 27, 2019 add1sun

The August 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by LizG of Bits n’ Bites and Anula of Anula’s Kitchen. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make pierogi from scratch and an optional challenge to provide one filling that best represents their locale. I didn’t decide to do anything locale-specific but since it is a… Continue reading Daring Cooks: Bourbon Berry Pierogis

Daring Bakers: Swiss Swirl Ice Cream Cake

July 27, 2010February 27, 2019 add1sun

I’m on to my second Daring Kitchen challenge, which is on the baking side of things. The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe… Continue reading Daring Bakers: Swiss Swirl Ice Cream Cake

Cryogenic cookies

July 16, 2010February 28, 2019 add1sun

I love fresh-baked cookies. A lot of people do. I’m particularly stuck on the fresh-baked aspect and regular cookies which have been sitting around for a day or more are, well, just less interesting to me. I may poke at them out of boredom if I’m having a sweet craving. Store bought cookies in particular… Continue reading Cryogenic cookies

First Daring Cooks Challenge: Nut Butter

July 13, 2010February 28, 2019 add1sun

Last month I joined the Daring Kitchen. It is a site for cooks to come together and try to cook the same challenge recipe, then report back on their blogs. They have two kinds of challenges, one for Bakers and one for Cooks. I signed up for both, since I love both of those adventures… Continue reading First Daring Cooks Challenge: Nut Butter

American Pancakes

May 30, 2010March 1, 2019 add1sun

My whole life a pancake was a pancake. There might have been other pancake-like objects, like crepes, but they most definitely were not pancakes. As I’ve traveled though, it is clear that the definition of “pancake” is regional and American pancakes are their own, special thing. They are also very delicious and something of a… Continue reading American Pancakes

Rise up! Rise up!

May 21, 2010March 1, 2019 add1sun

I am pretty big into baking. I love to start a day off with some fresh scones or whip up jalapeño cornbread for dinner. I do make yeast breads, but I spend most of my baking time making “quick” breads, those baked yummies that rely on baking powder and/or soda for leavening rather than the… Continue reading Rise up! Rise up!
