TWD ~ Fresh Mango Bread…the only time it’s OK to have hair in your food

May 19, 2009

Can you believe that I actually baked this on Wednesday last week? You’d think that since I baked so early, I’d have this thing written before the weekend, let along before 7pm today. You’d’ve thought that, but then you’d been wrong, just like the Bride. Nope, I got it in my head that I had [...]

We revisit the golden lemon this week with Babette of Babette Feasts. She chose Dorie’s Tartest Lemon Tart which, as written, uses the WHOLE lemon, “zest, pulp, and juice.” This zesty combination truly gives you one of the tartest lemon tarts you’ve ever tasted.

May 7, 2009

Buongiorno! Megan of My Baking Adventures leads us to Italy, the land of Tiramisu with Dorie’s Tiramisu Cake. In an attempt to be faithful to the recipe, I’ve been all over town trying to find mascarpone cheese. My last ditch effort was at a natural food store on Tuesday, but no luck. I know some [...]

TWD ~ Chocolate Cream Tart

April 28, 2009

Shesh, has another week gone by already? Some weeks I’m not all that jazzed about the TWD selection, sometimes I’m in excitement mode, and then there are weeks where I’m neither jazzed nor excited. This week initially started out jazzed, then turned lukewarm. When I initially heard the title, “Chocolate Cream Tart” (selected by Kim [...]

TWD ~ 15 Minute Magic: Chocolate Amaretti Torte

April 14, 2009

Our TWD selection this week is brought to you by Holly of Phe/MOM/enon. It’s the 15 Minute Magic: Chocolate Amaretti Torte! The “15 minute magic” part really only applies if you have a food processor. If you are food processor-less, and as temporally challenged as I am then this may take you quite a bit [...]

TWD ~ Coconut Butter Thins

March 31, 2009

This weeks pick of Coconut Butter Thins is from Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch whose post for said cookies is the kind that makes you want to have kids. Unfortunately I didn’t have the lime or the macadamia nuts (for the cookies not the kids). I think they would have probably turned out way [...]

TWD ~ French Yogurt Cake

March 29, 2009

GOOD GRIEF! Hello all. I’m so sorry for the delay. The accursed state of my blog for the past month has been due to some mysterious issue that has yet remained a mystery despite being magically fixed with the latest version of code from DiyThemes. According to the Thesis theme creator, “your server is handling [...]

Someone finally picked the recipe for the picture that is most likely responsible for over half of the sales of this book. Stephanie of Confessions of a City Eater picked the jaw-dropping Devil’s Food White-Out Cake. Despite appearances, this cake is actually pretty easy to make. The thing you want to remember when making cakes, [...]

TWD ~ Floating Islands

February 13, 2009

I should have really titled this, “Everything you ever wanted to know about creme anglaise but were afraid to ask.” This week’s challenge was selected by Shari of Whisk: a food blog. Floating islands. I remember coming across a recipe for these a while ago and wanting to make them but of course I never [...]
