Strawberry picking!
2009-06-30 01:32:00 After a friend's triathlon Sunday in Lake Geneva, we headed to Thompson Strawberry Farm--a "Pick Your Own" in Kenosha. I LOVE picking my own food. I dragged my family out to pick strawberries there last year, and I was really excited to go out earlier this year for more ripe berries. ...
Strawberry and Rhubarb Pate De Fruit
2009-06-07 17:06:00 As I woke up this morning, I quickly put on my shoes and ran downstairs to get the boat ready for a little outing. We were indeed rushing, grabing pieces of buttered toast and ushering the dogs up and down the stairs. You see it's rain season here, so every opportunity to be out and about in a dry and sunny moment is fully taken advantage of. We got all the way to the boat landing and all of a sudden the clouds darkened and the skies broke lose. B. looked at me, hands open to the sky, raising his shoulders as if to say "sorry sweets, not today".No big deal, being flexible is the name of the game in June around here but there is plenty for me to do to actually tie myself to a chair instead of going around playing on the water (more on that at the end of this post). When things don't go as planned, there are ways to make the situation a little sweeter. Tons sweeter. Little confections like pate de fruits are especially good to turn grey skies into sunshine, if only in your head. Mor...

Pistachio And Strawberry Mousse Mille Feuilles And A Giveaway
2009-05-24 05:27:00 I just laughed and giggled at all the comments about the Pistachio Creme Brulee Macarons from last week and your thinking that I can take Pierre Herme any day. Clearly an interesting idea but sadly one that will never take place because the man is king in the pastry department. I did get an email from Pierre Herme though, well ok, more precisely from La Maison Pierre Herme. And it was not personal at all. But I loved it all the same. It actually inspired me to make these Mille Feuilles filled with mascarpone, pistachio and strawberry mousses.I like staying close to home by subscribing to French cooking magazine, watch French news feeds anytime I can, and also by receiving PH's monthly newsletter in my inbox. An attractive list of all the seasonal goodies coming up in his shops. And there it was, the whole PH House of Pastry, tempting with more amazing tastes and textures than before. I read it carefully and sighed at their current signature flavor: all PH's creations in pistachio ...

Strawberry-Cheesecake-Eis
2009-05-21 08:14:00 Das Eis dieser Firma schmeckt nicht gerade schlecht, wie der "dröge" Norddeutsche so sagt. Sohn Nr. 1 inhaliert das geradezu und bat mich, die Sorte Strawberry Cheesecake einmal selbst herzustellen. Für eine Rezeptsuche im Netz ist es natürlich nützlich, die Zusammensetzung im Original zu kennen.

Powdered Strawberry And Vanilla Bean Macarons
2009-05-01 07:57:00 I think I have quite possibly turned this site into an ode to strawberries just by looking at my latest posts. Hmmm...Hope you'll still tune in for one more next week and then I might tempt you with the lovely wild blackberries I see appearing on the edges of the yard. Gosh I love Spring! It would be a shame not to take advantage of what is at my fingertips and right now the fridge is about to burst with local strawberries and lemons.It seems like I have a magic fridge these days. Just when I think I am reaching the bottom of the bowl of strawberries there is another one appearing from the other side. I did find out from B. that his mom dropped off some, as did a neighbor because "{I} would know what to do with them." I did ponder that thought while I was slicing strawberries for a tart. What to do with all these ugly little end pieces that I was not going to use? That's when the idea of dried strawberries popped into my head again and how to incorporate that into another dessert,...

Strawberry Charlottes
2009-04-20 05:22:00 I know it's really Spring when strawberry season starts around here. I think I could live on strawberries alone until the end of June! I almost did on Sunday actually. We went to friends' house for brunch and as we were talking outside on their patio, I dawned on me that it was also the weekend of the Strawberry Festival when strawberry picking really kicks off. We hopped in the car and loaded our baskets! I have already baked a couple of things with local strawberries I got both there and at the farmer's market but in the meantime I wanted to share these Strawberry Charlottes.As you can guess, the little bit of fun we had today with our friends was extremely welcome. I have to say, with last Sunday I am loving how such good weekends are giving me so much energy during the week. Welcome Spring!! Sorry Jen...we are not making snow angels in the snow but rolling in wild flowers. I keep filling the house with all sorts of buds and flowers that I find in the wood across the house. Ba...

Cold Strawberry Mint Soup and Apricot Tea Cakes

Strawberry & Vanilla Floating Islands
2009-02-02 07:05:00 It had been a while since I had the night off to bake something just for us. No book recipe to test, no challenge, no order or request. Just for us. In moments like this I tend to gravitate towards childhood memories and desserts I learned to make with my mother and grandmother. Simple desserts made so often that I bake them from memories with only the guidelines they used to whisper as I was standing on the little step stool next to the kitchen counter. It always amazes me how clearly I can still hear my grandmother's voice every time I make Floating Islands for example.Many years after her passing, Mamie Paulette is still here as I separate the eggs and mix them with sugar to make those lovely clouds of meringues. Everytime I cut through a vanilla bean I respectfully scrape every bean to the last one "pour ne pas gaspiller" (not to waste) and put the pods in small jars of sugar to flavor it. Whenever we would make creme brulees, we would have floating islands or "iles flottantes"...

Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
2008-08-10 10:00:00 I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker which I like fine I guess, the only problem is that I have to freeze the drum for a couple days before it's ready for churning ice cream. If I don't get it cold enough (and our freezer isn't the most reliable but hey, it's Alaska right? A faulty freezer isn't that high on the priority list) then the ice cream won't freeze completely but will get 70% there then part way through the process the whole thing, drum, ice cream and will begin to melt. Drives me crazy!So if you're in the market for an ice cream maker, I don't know that I'd recommend this one, but regardless I'd definitely recommend this recipe. I've got strawberries coming out the ears here and I've been making strawberry jam, strawberry pie and now strawberry ice cream. It's just so good.3 cups pureed strawberries2 pasteurized eggs1 1/4 cup granulated sugar1 cup of heavy cream2 cups of half and half (that's half cream, half milk and I use the fat free kinds they now pro...

Cracked Pepper, Mint and Strawberry Macarons - And Tartelette Goes To Japan

Sorry for the confusion.Long title I know....for the macaron story stay right here and scroll down to see how I got to Japan without leaving my couch!When Chris was preparing her weekend trip here she mentioned that she wanted me to teach her how to make macarons. You know me and the little sweet suckers, I already have the spatula in my hand before you can twist my arm. I also had about 2 cups worth of already separated egg whites (long story, does not involve the puppy), so I decided to get a head start and try to re-create one of my favorite restaurant desserts in a macaron form.I have always been surprised that the small town my parents live in is surrounded by a handful of amazing small restaurants.

Maple Cardamon Mousse And Strawberry Tartelettes
2008-07-16 07:51:00 I realised the other day that I have been turning the oven on late in the evening lately. The heat is not conducive to "wanting" to bake, nor is the rain that makes me crave soft and cold flavors. Airy mousses and creamy puddings, clouds of meringue and pools of creme anglaise...ice creams, let's not forget ice creams, one of my weaknesses. So when Old Chef asked me if I could come up with a couple of items for a private dinner for a client on Thursday, I cringed...Well, just a little, because I like him, I like the clients and let's face it, you don't need to twist my arm when it comes to baking! One of the requests they had was to have berries....lots of berries....beside a cold berry soup that I will tell you more about next week, I thought I would combine my ongoing love affair for mousses with fresh strawberries in individual tartlets.Back in May, I told you about our friend M. who had just been diagnosed with cancer. She underwent surgery a couple of weeks ago and is now ba...

Seven Seas Says Strawberry Survives
2008-07-09 15:00:00 Breaking news!Seven Seas was kind enough to let me know that their Strawberry line of Yuri manga is *not* on hold. In fact, Strawberry Panic Light Novel, Volume 2 is out *right now*. You should of course run right out and order it because it is utterly cracktastic. Actually, while I'm talking about this book, let me warn you in advance that the translation is EXCELLENT. It's just that the original text is really quite laughably bad. LOL (See my review of the Japanese volume here.) I'll definitely review the English edition asap, because I want to see how they handled the overblown goings on at Astrea Hill. :-)In any case, thanks Seven Seas for clearing that up - we look forward to more Yuri from you!

Delicious Summer Mango-Strawberry Trifle
2008-06-10 20:00:00 The Mango Mania in Maharashtra is something that words simply cannot describe . Alphonso or Haapus: The King of Mangoes is the one that grabs all the limelight and quite rightly so.There is a palpable excitement in the air at the arrival of the Alphonso which makes an appearance in the markets in small numbers at the start of the season (which is from end March to May) . On it's arrival it is quite expensive. But by the time the harvest peaks it is all over the place and can be bought in large quantities though I would say the price is never really as low as that of other other ordinary fruit like apples and bananas. It?s sweetness and flavour go way beyond the word ?delicious? and is truly a ?Slice of Heaven on Earth?.The Alphonso takes it?s name from Afonso De Albuquerque : a Portuguese sailor who brought this exquisite and expensive variety of mango to Goa. The locals took to calling it Aphoos in Konkani and in Maharashtra the pronunciation further changed to Hapoos.At my mom's...

On my way to the supermarket to buy the crème fraîche I passed: These two are seperatedby the main street. after 200 meters ... another 200 meters ... I baked 8 tartelets from this dough, the strawberries are the variety Korona. I used a splash of crème de cassis and a dash of sugar to marinate the strawberries.

Strawberry Lemon Thyme Shortcakes Inspired By "Comfort Food", A Novel
2008-06-07 01:16:00 Early last month, the lovely Cath from A Blithe Palate and Stephanie of Dispensing Happiness contacted me to see if I wanted to be part of a foodie book club they were creating, The Edible World. The premise: about twice a year, the book club readers would get a copy of a food related novel with the mission (to read it!), pick a dish mentioned in the book, find a recipe for it, make it and blog about it. Guess what I told them?! Count me in!!! I always need something to read on the treadmill and what better way to exorcise demons and calories than read about them, right?!!Comfort Food written by Kate Jacobs, relates the adventures in cooking and paths of self exploration of a 50 year-old tv cooking show host, Gus, whose ratings are suffering and who finds herself paired with a vibrant young Miss Spain turned culinary school graduate whose claim to fame are cooking snippets on youtube. Gus lost her husband early, taking care of her 2 daughters by opening a sandwich shop without prior...
