Raspberry And Vanilla Dobos Torte With The Daring Bakers
2009-08-27 06:28:00 I realized as I was starting to write down the recipe for this post that it was actually my 550th post. Wow...That made me a little proud and left me slightly amazed at the same time! I think I even said "oh la vache!" (holy cow!). That's a whole lot of stories, words, laughs, tears and just as much sugar, butter, flour and eggs! What could be more fitting to celebrate post #550 than a Daring Bakers Challenge? A very sweet and very rich one: a Dobos Torte.I wrote last time that I hadn't had an ounce of craving for chocolate lately and when I set out to make this challenge, things turned out just about the same. I looked at the recipe and could not chase the images of sweet sugared berries floating in my head. Or was it sugar made saber equipped raspberries fighting off little chocolate critters? Hmmmm...Still, not an ounce of chocolate was calling my name yet. Too hot, too humid and a fridge full of raspberries thanks to my mother - in - law who always buys for 8 when there are ju...

Raspberry & Red Currant Cordial
2009-08-17 00:21:00 Many years ago, I bought an electric juice machine which squeezed fresh juice from fruits, berries and vegetables. But there were too many parts to remove and clean so the days of juice making were not many. The machine was put away in the cupboard where the waffle iron, sandwich grill, blender and ice cream maker are living and collecting dust most of the time. Once a year, I take the juice machine out, dust it off and plug it in. There is nothing more delicious or thirst quenching on a hot summer day than a home made soft drink. Raspberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and phytochemical ellagic acid which acts as an antioxidant. This plant chemical is thought to have some anti-cancer properties (not proven though). Red currants are not quite as nutritious as raspberries, but red berries always contain high quantities of antioxidants and the most important is vitamin C, which our human body can't produce, so it must be obtained through our diet. This ...

For My Birthday Girls: A Raspberry Rose Vanilla Cream Cake
2009-08-14 06:23:00 Two people I love are having a birthday this week and as much as I wanted to make something special for each of them, work decided to get in the way big time. Not complaining, just saying, and that's why I am so late updating this week. Thus, I find myself asking them to share this Raspberry Rose Vanilla Cream Cake. I know they won't mind because they already share so much. One is my wonderful mother and the other one is my (now) three year-old beautiful niece. Joyeux Anniversaire les filles!It bugs me to say that I don't see enough of my niece but a trip to France has not been quite feasible in the past couple of years. I do get to hear a lot about her and her personality through my mom's reports and pictures my brother sends me. Her sister is just like me and she seems to be more like her dad. Oy! If they keep the ressemblance going, teenage years are going to suck for him big time because we were anything but pleasant to each other!!While I did make a batch of saffron macaron...

Raspberry and Nectarine Clafoutis

Dienstags mit Dorie: Raspberry Blanc-manger oder einfach deutsch: Mandelsul
2009-07-22 16:52:00 Blanc-manger ist eine feine, weiße Süßspeise und setzt sich aus dem französischen blanc=weiß und manger= essen zusammen- Sie wird üblicherweise nur aus weißen Zutaten hergestellt und ist in Deutschland als Mandelsulz schon seit dem Mittelalter bekannt. "Weißes Essen" war eine eine gehobene Speise des Adels, das in verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen zubereitet werden konnte. Bis ins 18. Jahrhundert war Mandelsulz in der deutschen Küche ein „Beigericht“, also noch kein Nachtisch. Inzwischen versteht man darunter einen köstlichen Mandelpudding aus pürierten Mandeln und Milch, der mit Gelatine angedickt und gekühlt mit Himbeeren oder mit anderen Früchten serviert wird. Susan von Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy hat für Dienstags mit Dorie einen Mandelsulz mit Himbeeren als Rezept der Woche aus Baking: From my home to yours ausgewählt. Nach einer längeren Pause am Dienstag ein leckeres Rezept zum Wiedereinstieg, schon gar, weil es jetzt überall frische Himbeeren gibt. ========...

Pumpkin Seed Mascarpone Mousse And Raspberry Tartelettes
2009-06-21 07:05:00 I realized a couple of years into our marriage that the occasions to take out our china and break into grandma's pretty silveware were going to be limited if we did not expand the meaning of "occasions". Even a simple and casual dinner with friends is now considered one. A moment to celebrate friendship, time set aside to connect or reconnect, all made special by the conversations and the people around them. Even a simple dinner calls for a special dessert like these Pumpkin Seed Mascarpone Mousse And Raspberry Tartelettes and my grandmother's vintage dessert spoons. Just because.I like to set a pretty table and make a special meal when we have company and you can guess that there is a treat awaiting them for dessert. We are not stuck into fussy table settings and usually end up taking our plates to the back deck during Spring and Summer or cozy up in front of the fireplace during the winter. I also love the fact that I can take the dogs to the dock around 7pm and sit there watch...

Blushing Pink Raspberry Smoothie
2009-05-01 10:53:00 Hey ! Here I am back again so soon . I said I was going to break the bad habit of taking long breaks and I have kept my promise. So what do I have today? Well it's this deliciously refreshing raspberry smoothie that is my son's favourite . And mine too actually although given a choice I really prefer to eat the raspberries just like that . They are so delicious and have sucha heady aroma that I can never have enough. It's very funny actually because believe it or not there was a time when I was not particularly fond of this fruit, but that was because I had yet to taste really great tasting raspberries. I now buy mine from M& S and they are perfect everytime. They are sweet and deliciously tart and I just want to buy them by the kilo. My son and I actually fight over who has eaten more raspberries from the box and who gets the last one. Very often it is I who get to eat more because of course I am snacking on them when the poor guy is in school but then I compensate him by ma...

Raspberry Pistachio Teacakes
2009-03-27 05:27:00 Well, I guess there has to be a first for everything...This is my first time missing a Daring Bakers' challenge. Ever. In over 2 years. And does it feel weird!! But there are thousands of wonderfully executed challenges to be seen there. Just too much discombobulation here to do it justice.My mother was thrilled to see your enthusiasm regarding her ratatouille and the fear of "being out there" for others to see quickly dissipated with yet another bite of it! My parents are living on Sunday and we have been packing activities, visits, friends and family in as much as possible. All this between work, shopping and a few baking sessions of course. Mom and I did find time to bake Grandma's apple tart as well as these easy and delicious little tea cakes filled with raspberries and pistachios.One thing we never fail to do as a family is to take time for tea. When 5 o'clock rolls around, the kettle is on and the cookie tin finds its place on the table. Even miles away, this is a little "...

White Chocolate, Vanilla Bean Cardamom Mousse and Raspberry Layers
2009-03-03 07:10:00 Hugging my mom, joking with my dad. This is pretty much all I have done in the past 24 hours. It had been a year since I last put my arms around maman and two(!) since I was able to share some fun tidbits with papa. It had never been that long but such has been life on both sides of the ocean, with timing, responsibilities, projects and happenings that we have been this long apart since I moved here. After a long delayed connecting flight and one suitcase missing, I was finally able to kiss them profusedly and start planning some fun things to do in between work and more work while they are here.Once home, we sat down to a simple meal of quiche and salad and talked for almost three hours at the dinner table. Things don't change. Time slows down a bit when they are here and I am perfectly fine with that. Today felt like a Sunday and I have no doubt that tomorrow will feel like a Saturday...When they visit, I still cook as I would for B. and myself and try to give my mom a real vacat...

Chocolate Chesnut Vanilla Yule Log or Raspberry Vanilla Meyer Lemon?
2008-12-28 08:11:00 Now say that twelve times real fast after after one too many glasses of Champagne!! These Yule Logs are the desserts I served the family on Christmas dinner and between the 12 of us there were barely enough left for a midnight snack! I did not intend to double the work and make two "just" for fun but between the ubber chocolate fans and the "I ate too much but I still want dessert" peeps, and for my sake of a stress free meal where everybody was happy, I knew that making two was a necessity. Interesting how I belong to both groups...Let's face it, it's dessert, it's mousse, it's chocolate and it was delicious!It was also the dessert chosen by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux for the December Daring Bakers' Challenge: a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand.

Raspberry Parfait Lollipops And The Little Big Things In Life
2008-11-03 06:13:00 The little big things in life...Let me start by a very little thing: fresh tasty raspberries in late October. I had stopped at the restaurant last week to say "hi" to the old crew when Crazy D and Nazi K (the appropriately nicknamed line chefs) emerged from the kitchen with a small crate of raspberries. "For you!" they exclaimed at the same time. I was quite surprised as we have spent 6 years in crammed quarters together, sweating, cursing (yes, I know how to!), loving and hating each other at the same time. To see them bearing gift, you can guess that I was expected a prank or something worse. To my surprise the berries were juicy, sweet and tasty. "Where did you get these? They are so good!". I got the usual "Fell off the back of a truck" answer. We would say that anytime we'd get something we were not supposed to. Hmmm the little things in life...don't ask, just do!I contemplated for a day or two what I was going to do with this unexpected summer extension. In spite of a couple...

Plum - Raspberry Cardamom Crumbles
2008-10-13 07:17:00 It's been a yucky week....all grey with some rain drops here and there. Rain with warm tempereatures. Thunderstorms and shorts, I'll never get used to this!! I decided to see it as soft and comforting. I baked and I baked without prospect of a good picture taking day. The fridge is overflowing, the freezer is about to get there. In the midst of running out of room in former, I had to start reorganizing the latter. I pulled out one bag each of raspberries and juicy plums to replace them with other desserts that will hopefully be "taken care of". I already told the neighbors to come over for desserts because there is no way B. and I can eat a dozen fast enough. Well we could....but our doctor would not be very happy!The weather had been threatening us with rain long enough for me to let my guard down and leave the house without an umbrella. Don't ask...Of course I got soaked while leaving the grocery store after a quick run for milk and eggs one early morning!! Actually I was still...

Lemon Raspberry Mille Feuilles
2008-10-07 06:24:00 I know, I know, it is Fall...so why all the raspberries? And now the lemon? Store diplays, magazine covers and tv shows "fall season" premieres are doing a great job at convincing me it is Fall. Yet, one step outside in the middle of the afternoon keeps telling me otherwise, time and time again. Still wearing flip flops and shorts so I hope you will indulge me for a couple more raspberry posts. I promise the next one will have an autumnal twist.We are enjoying quite a few dinners outside with the neighbors and the summer grill outs have finally given way to wonderful oyster roasts. It is hard to believe the way our street functions but if you spend one week here it'd be easy to see why I wish I could take the whole street with me if we ever move. It is not uncommon to harbor someone else's dog while they help you run after your own, have about 3 strollers and 8 dogs walking alongside your own crazy little-big ones. A walk up to the dock usually turns into a crabbing or shrimping f...

Honey Raspberry Semifreddo And An Open Letter
2008-08-18 06:34:00 Foreword: I have tossed and turned words for the past couple of days writing this post. I know this is a food blog, but over the past few years that I have written here, I have also shared with you the joys and sorrows of life. It has become more than just desserts since I come every week with stories out the wazoo, so I hope you will allow me to make this post about one person whom I lost and love and celebrate his memory. One person whose passing changed me radically in every thing I do and every way I see things. This is an open letter to my belated brother, one that I start and rewrite every year around the same time, one that will never end being re-written. I also thought about not posting at all, but one of our best memories shared was around dessert and it made sense to me to write it today. If this is not your cup of tea, skip to the recipe part.Dear Thierry,There are many dates forever engraved in my mind. The day you gave me a tiny white watch and a bright fuchsia scarf f...

Why does raspberry contain a letter P? Does anyone actually pronounce the P? Yes, I thought raspberry was spelled rasberry until recently. More accurately, I never really thought about it.4. Need a tongue-twister. Say "Green Bean, Green Bead" five times fast. 5. I saw the movie Zodiac over the weekend. There are more ringing telephones in this movie than the Jerry Lewis telethon.

Mascarpone Raspberry Gratins
2008-06-27 04:12:00 I always seem to have a story don't I? Well, bloggers are like that...they like stories: to read, to tell, to share and to write about. Somehow there is always a story behind the desserts I make , sometimes it is a long drawn explanation and sometimes something that popped in my head while experiencing one of those stories. Today is no exception...these gratins almost did not happen. Glad they did in the end though because they were mighty good.Let's see...it all started last night when B's mom called and asked if I wanted to go blueberry picking with her in the morning...at the crack of dawn to avoid the heat. Yes, yes, yes....provided there are a few coffee stops along the way please....Then she threw raspberries in the mix so I jumped fell out of bed! There are a few things that make my heart skip on a hot June morning (well, B. is one of them, of course) and among my favorites are berries, stone fruits and spending a few hours with my mother in law and her stories of my husba...

Milk Calendar Mondays: Cinnamon Crunch Raspberry Muffins
2008-04-22 00:54:00 For those of you who flipped your Milk Calendar to April and wondered about my adventure with Salmon and Rice Primavera, well, you'll just have to keep on wondering. Or you can do the recipe and assume that whatever you thought of it will be exactly my reaction. I didn't attempt the recipe because of a salmon allergy (how wrong is that?).So this month's Milk Calendar Monday recipe let me dive into one of the extra eight recipes. I really wonder why they separate these out from the others. I mean, yes, it's always good to give your customers more than they asked for (well, more in a good way... higher prices, unending telephone trees, days of headaches to get a simple thing done are NOT examples of this), but these...um...hidden...recipes always look more interesting and tasty than the monthly spotlights. I'd have been happier if the Easy Jambalaya recipe (yes, I do drone on about that one) was hidden on one the back pages and the recipe I chose instead was on a calendar page.I ...

One of the easiest and most satisfying way of eating seasonal fruits is by making coulis, compote or preserves out of them, without giving up their nutritional value. Raspberry Coulis is one of the preferred toppings for many desserts. Coulis, traditionally a french recipe, is a form of thick sauce made from puréed and strained vegetables or fruits, and used as a base for other sauces or as toppings...

But I think I will post 2 reviews I did for the recipe swap on recipezaar. I am making my last teammates recipe tonight so I will look forward to that. This recipe was simple to make and had a wonderful flavour. I have said in my review and I will repeat here I did not pour much sauce over chicken for photo purposes, but I did add after taking the picture, it was delicious. I served mine with carrot rosti and both myself and my hubby really enjoyed this.

Raspberry And Lime Mascarpone Mousse Cakes
2008-03-27 05:48:00 We celebrated Easter with B.'s family, a small and quiet gathering on the beach, very much unlike the gatherings in my family back home. There was plenty to share and although I offered to bring something for dessert, my sister-in-law said I could take the day off, she'd take care of it. Doesn't she realized that it really does not bother me and I am actually looking forward to making something? I am sure those of you who like to cook and bake have found themselves in this position. When you love food, it's not work, it's a pleasure. Oh well, I still wanted to make something for us and took the opportunity of the "Exchange Dinner" we host each year to make these Raspberry and Lime Mascarpone Mousse Cakes.What is the "Exchange Dinner" you ask? Well, I came to the US as an exchange student about 11 years ago and I was an exchange student doing my Masters here for one year. Long story short, I met B. here a few weeks before I was supposed to go home "forever" and although I did go...

Raspberry di Gunung
2008-03-26 14:16:00 Setiap jalan-jalan di gunung, saya selalu menyempatkan diri tengok kanan-kiri untuk melihat jika ada buah raspberry yang ranum dan siap dimakan. Selama ini yang saya lihat buahnya kecil-kecil, paling besar cuma seukuran kelereng. Rasanya kecut-kecut manis, menyegarkan tenggorokan. Hati-hati saat memetik buahnya karena batang pohon raspberry ini berduri tajam. Kadang ada yang warnanya kehitaman jika sudah tua dan ranum, namun ada juga yang merah semakin menyala. Kemungkinan memang ada beberapa varian. Jika kita bagi jarak tempuh perjalanan dari bawah menuju puncak gunung menjadi 4 (empat) bagian, maka populasi raspberry ini biasanya berada di seperempat bagian yang pertama dan kedua. Sayangnya di Merbabu kemarin saya hanya menjumpai pohon tanpa buah. Entah karena tidak musim atau karena sudah dipetik oleh pendaki lain. Untungnya ketika turun gunung kami melalui jalur yang angker dan jarang dilewati pendaki. Sehingga saya menemukan satu pohon yang buahnya ranum-ranum dan menggoda unt...

2008-03-24 22:21:00 I'm getting this in right under the wire, but I didn't want the fact that my wallet got stolen on Good Friday (and the fact that the b$#%^@ds proceeded to empty out my bank account), keep me from blogging about these cookies that I baked as a part of the Cookie Carnival blog event happening over at The Clean Plate Club. I found this recipe pretty easy, but I did make a few changes, I used a mixed fruit jam (cherries, strawberries and raspberries), added half a vanilla pod to the cookie dough, and omitted the sweetened flaked coconut, which you can't find here in the NL (and my boyfriend doesn't like). I found the idea of combining raspberry preserves and sweetened flaked coconut a bit of strange taste combo, but I'm curious to see what the other participants thought. Unfortunately, I forgot to add the salt, so I found my version of the recipe a bit on the bland side. I'd like to make the recipe again, and play around with it a bit. This is my very first submission t...

Lemon-Raspberry Cupcakes
2008-03-24 07:35:00 When I got April's Bon Appétit in the mail, I immediately knew I had to make the lemon-raspberry cupcakes on the cover. Even though I'm not the biggest lover of raspberry-flavored things (LOVE fresh raspberries, artificially-flavored not so much), I just didn't see how these could be bad. They sounded like the perfect springy treat, so I decided to make them for Easter.Fabulous idea. I often take a few times to perfect a cupcake recipe, but these tasted really, really good the first time I made them. One reason for this? I went to Epicurious.com and read reader comments before making them. I highly recommend you always do this whenever possible. Yes, I trust Bon Appétit , but when 8 different people are saying, "No! I made these and you need to cut down on the butter," it makes sense to listen.The cake batter for these cupcakes was different than anything I've made before. First, the lemon peel. You really should use a zester (if you don't have one, they're cheap and very usef...
Monday Christmas Cookie (13) - Raspberry Linzer Cookies
2008-03-23 19:32:00 One hundred years ago, Slovakia still belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the second largest country in Europe (squeezed in between the Russian and German Empire). This post is not intended to lecture you in history, but simply to show the huge gastronomic influence the country had on traditional Slovak cuisine (that is Czech, Hungarian and Austrian, so to speak).Linzer Cookies are one of the most traditional Slovak Christmas cookies you can imagine, fancy little cookies of various shapes, named after the famous Austrian City - Linz. By rule, they are round-shaped filled with raspberry marmalade sandwiched in between the circular shapes, the top one with cut hearts or other shapes in the middle.This year, we have experimented a bit with shapes, as well as the color. As a result, we ended up with happy pinkish batch of:RASPBERRY LINZER COOKIES:(Linecké koláÄiky)makes: 50 cookies400 g plain flour1 package (40 g) powdered vanilla pudding1 tsp baking powder2 eggs150 g sugarpinch...
Raspberry Marinade for Lamb Chops
2008-03-18 14:28:00 Last night we wanted something different but staying true to my food philosphy if it was to be meat it had to be from a sustainable, all natural, no antibiotic or growth hormone, small farmed meat. We choose lamb chops. Most lamb is farmed in Australia or New Zealand, and while this doesn't fit into the local profile I am still an omnivore and need meat. Lamb is an all natural meat. The New Zealand lamb that we ate last night follows all of the other restrictions that I have. The animals are raised in pasture. Eating only the grass that is grown. They practice sustainable farming and healthy slaughter. To read more check out the New Zealand Lamb website.Anyway I had developed a recipe last week for a raspberry sauce to go with my Spring Themed Menu that was in my newsletter for this month and still had some left over in the fridge. Tony was making dinner so he decided to make it into a marinade and to use it to marinade the rack of lamb.Click here for recipe for Lamb Marin...

2008-03-14 00:00:00 Nike's Blazer line is another one of their models that often flies under the radar and hasn't been as strong as it has in the past and seems Nike is releasing less and less each year. With that said, Nike has dropped a new women's High model which features a ...

Chocolate & Raspberry Pudding Parfait
2008-03-01 17:24:00 When trying to come up with a dessert to go with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, plus accompanying sides, there is really no need to get fancy. I wanted to have something sweet and something chocolate (as per my guest's request), and as I had one successful go at an easy vanilla pudding recipe earlier in the week, I thought I'd have a go at the chocolate version and dress it up a little for a little dinner party that I was hosting. The result was a glass full of rich layers, silky chocolate pudding, billowing vanilla-specked whipped cream, and a sweet-tart raspberry sauce. The glass may have made it look fancy, but the ingredients were simple and combination worthy of finger-licking.Chocolate Pudding 1¼ cups (300 ml) whole milk1¼ cups (300 ml) whipping cream½ cup (100 gr) sugar¼ tsp salt¼ tsp vanilla extract 3 tbsp cornstarch2 oz (57 gr) bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened Combine 1 cup each of whole milk and...

Mini Chocolate Raspberry Turnovers
2008-02-21 21:12:00 I know I am still stuck in raspberry-chocolate mode. But hey, at least it?s not a cupcake. These are mini turnovers filled with raspberry jam and dark chocolate. The recipe is from Gourmet magazine and is super easy to put together.The recipe calls for a package of puff pastry. That?s right, from the store but you could make yours if you like. I?ll still like you. I used raspberry jam and dark chocolate, but I believe Gourmet used milk chocolate and strawberry jam? My point is you can use anything you like. Heck, you could even leave out the jam. But if you leave out the chocolate, we?re done. Ah, just kidding.I dusted the turnovers with powder sugar and served them with espresso. Yeah, I can get fancy. Oh, before I forget, you can make them any size, just make sure you cut the pastry into squares. That way when you fold them over you?ll get perfect triangles.Mini TurnoversAdapted from Gourmet1 package of puff pastry1/3 cup of jam4 ounces of chocolate1 eggPowdered sugar...

Raspberry Apple Wine Pleasant Lake Winery North Dakota
2008-02-14 19:00:00 Have you been drinking Arbor Mist and its ilk of late? Looking for a wine that really uses raspberry and apple wines to make something tastier? And doesn?t happen to also have a nutrition label? You might want to try this one. Try to look past the fact that it?s from a place probably not known for wine but rather wheat! read more |
