Apricot Confection with Pistachios
2008-06-04 06:11:00 These are from Mansoura Middle Eastern Bakery, 515 King's Highway Brooklyn. The apricot paste is face-scrunchingly sour and centrifugal with fruitiness. The blanched pistachios are very fresh and vivid. The sweetness and sourness of this candy somehow stay completely separate, not melding into any recognizable sweet-and-sour combination. A real Steeplechase ride for the palate.

AMAZING MAIZE & CORNY COOKIES
2008-06-02 04:12:00 "I am still convinced that a good, simple, homemade cookie is preferable to all the store-bought cookies one can find."James BeardBowled over by Cornmeal Pistachio Cookies Then comes along one of those looooong lazy summer days where you want to bake something & for once you'd rather it wasn't chocolate. It happens to me at times after a chocolate overdose in the kitchen. Something different has to be attempted; something which has a chance of turning out unexpectedly good or even bad, but different. Have started throwing caution to the wind & have begun treading on uncharted territory. Read on for my tale of good...& then bad, as in disastrous! It happens... & now I've reached a stage where I do not weep copious tears. Onto the good first...cookies made out of cornmeal with my favourite nut, the pistachio! It's nice to experiment with different grains, & coincidentally found a post on different grains at Food Blogga @ Susans'...'How Many Whole Grains Can ...

Fred Allen On a calcium high...Goodness that's fruity & cool!This creamy, delicious mango ice-cream's en route for something I support whole-heartedly & have always believed in...Beautiful Bones: An Osteoporosis Food Event, hosted by one of my favourite bloggers Susan @ Food Blogga.

Thanks to her, 'Dermadoc' is gaining notoriety as an avid foodie critic too!! Ha Ha...sorry Susan, was hilarious when he dropped by my place a while ago, & then I saw him at Nicismes' recently too!

MALTED OAT 'n' PISTACHIO COOKIES & A DISTINCT AWARD...GASP!!
2008-04-18 02:48:00 "Food...can look beautiful, taste exquisite, smell wonderful, make people feel good, bring them together, inspire romantic feelings....At its most basic, it is fuel for a hungry machine."Rosamond RichardsonMalted Oat 'n' Pistachio CookiesI made really simple healthy cookies the other day. Had some oats which were beginning to look really sad just sitting there, so out came the cookbook. ...'The Great Cookie Book'. Wasn't in the mood for some long drawn recipe; found this one which seemed as laid back as I was feeling! Made a few changes as I obviously would want to. Added nuts to add to crunch & taste; had to be pistachios which have found loads of favour with me these days. I think even walnuts would be a great option. The original cookie was supposed to be a crisp 'n' crunchy cookie...ideal to serve with morning coffee! In my great laziness, didn't realize that we needed malt extract (help, what's that???) until I had tossed all the dry ingredients together!!!Aaaaaaaa...
MANGO ICE-CREAM SWISS ROLL DESSERT...ROLLIN' IN MANGOES!
2008-04-15 16:58:00 "Ice cream is happiness condensed."Jessi Lane Adams Simple 'n' Sensational...an Ice-cream Swiss Roll This is by far the simplest & most versatile baked dessert that I have tried several times over & in many combinations. The Swiss roll is very pretty, is adaptable to personal taste, & also makes a fab frozen dessert. DH & the kids were ruing the absence of exciting dessert for many days. A bite of after dinner chocolate seemed to work for a few days, but not too long. I had some mango ice-cream left-over in the freezer & thought we could polish that off. But the foodie in me got the better of my laziness, & I decided to make something with Equal Opportunity Kitchen's first foray into blog events - 'Tried & Tested' in mind.When I saw the 3 T's at Equal Opportunity Kitchen, I was ecstatic. I love the idea of tried & tested. At least you are on safe ground, true, & also within virtual reach of the maker! The Swiss roll is a very simple sponge...
CHOCOLATE-CHIP PISTACHIO COOKIES...& SERENDIPITY!
2008-04-11 13:33:00 "Me want cookie!"Cookie Monster Chocolate-chip Pistachio CookiesThis was the day after making the chocolate pistachio fudge. I was plenty inspired with the great combination of chocolate & pistachios & decided to explore it some more. Time to substitute the walnuts in my chocolate chip cookies with pistachios! Oooooooooooh...for a nut which is not quite popular or as visible as pecans or walnuts, I'm amazed at the potential it has! This cookie tasted great; very nice indeed. I've also seen some great pistachio panna cottas on the net. Another delightful thing about pistachios is the visual appeal. They add a burst of colour to whatever they are added to, more so as a garnish. I'm so glad I've discovered these pretty nuts...Chocolate-chip Pistachio CookiesIngredients:Butter - 1/2 cup / 100gmsBrown sugar - 1/3 cupGranular Sugar - 1/3 cup Egg - 1Vanilla Extract - 1 tspFlour - 1 cupWholewheat flour - 1/4 cupBaking soda - 1/2 tspPinch of saltChocolate chips - 1/2 cupPistachio...
California Jumbo Premium Pistachios - $19.99
2008-03-28 15:04:00 In ancient times the Queen of Sheba controlled and guarded all of the pistachios in her realm. You?ll understand why after you taste one. These lightly salted California jumbo premium pistachios might be the best on the planet. We say Jumbo premium pistachios, and we mean it. These big nutty babies come from California, USA. None of them have that red dye which was designed to hide imperfections and comes off on your hands. No, these are fresh, fresh, fresh, taken right from the free roaming pistachio herds and bagged before they even hit a grocery store. A few of these every day could help your heart stay healthy (especially if they replace the fatty snacks). For thirty years the nice people at Fiddyment Farms have been using their g-g-g-units to harvest the very best and most fresh (do those kids still say fresh?) pistachios they have to offer, ranking them among the world?s finest pistachio pushers. And they?re seriously delicious. At the price we?re selling them for, you can be ...

IT'S CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES FOR CHRISTMAS THIS TIME!
2007-12-22 16:36:00 "Let's dance and sing and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year."Sir George Alexander MacfarrenCHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES FOR CHRISTMAS...festive food! In a span of 2 days I baked over a 100 cupcakes & iced them as well. The first 80 were vanilla cupcakes, the ones for the playschool Christmas party. These last batch I had to do a little different for my own experimentation & therapeutic pleasure! The flavours of chocolate & orange complement each other beautifully. I love the way the Christmassy ones turned out with the red, white & green; & also the pink 'n' purple 'very girly ones'. For the chocolate stars & flowers, I drizzled the stars, flowers, zigzags etc onto butter paper, & peeled them off gently once they were set. These can be made in advance and stored in an airtight box in a cool place. Fix them onto the top of the cupcake with a little melted chocolate. Makes the cupcakes look so good & 'dressed up'.Ingredients: Flou...

How Pistachios Help The Heart
2007-05-01 21:33:00 I read an interesting article in the Daily Mail today about the positive effect of pistachio nuts on lowering cholesterol and keeping the heart healthy. Apparently just 3 ounces a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of heart disease. All nuts have amazing benefits to heart health - even 1 ounce a day of mixed unsalted nuts can reduce your risk of heart disease according to many
