Whole-Wheat Peanut Butter Cookie
Here’s a whole some cookie (for kids and adults alike), with rich peanut flavour and the goodness and health benefits of whole wheat. From the original site: have some really good “whole-wheat” cookie recipes which I often make and since its summer vacation time, with the kids at home and constantly hungry, we decided to add peanut butter to make the cookies more “kid-friendly…
Chicken Stew with Biscuits
Easy and delicious, those two words define this dish perfectly. A perfect dinner (or lunch) dish to share with your loved ones on cold evenings or. like it happens at my place, on game nights. (Adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style, 2002 with my inputs in bracket) Ingredients: 3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on (I used boneless pieces) 3 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and freshly…
Armenian Nutmeg Walnut Cake
An addictive, warm, spicy Armenian tea cake with pleasing overtones of nutmeg and walnut. From the original site: Many enticing DB posts later, I breezed into the kitchen, whipped it together … and then helplessly stared at lava cake overflow in my oven! The failure haunted me, so I had to get it right! Here it is now, a happy success story with the Armenian Nutmeg Walnut Cake.
Ancient Omelette with Asparagus and Fresh Herbs
This is a recipe which survived almost 2000 years. It’s a lovely herbal omelette with asparagus and subtle hints of wine and olive oil. It’s not only ancient but also very healthy, with the addition of the asparagus and the aromatic herbs. This dish is perfect for breakfast or for a light vegetarian lunch. From the original site: Today I tried another ancient recipe. This one is from Apicius’ b…
Mozzarella & Pecorino Romano “Stacked” Shells with Beef, Carrots and Celery
I’m known for never making the obvious and never doing the same thing everyone else does. I try to get creative every time I cook and this recipe is no exception. I started cooking without a game plan — I simply started to chop up a few veggies and let the rest happen naturally. It’s a bit scary to cook this way, but sometimes the stars align and this is the beautiful and delicious end result. S…
Assorted Macarons
More than just treats these are like a bite sized symphony (of flavors) in your mouth. From the original site: Growing up, a ‘macaroon’ was either a chunk of a cookie loaded with coconut or a tough sugary meringue cookie with bits of cashew nuts and almonds. Either ways it was always a ‘cookie’.Well, all that changed when I was introduced to the world of French Macarons by a friend.
Double Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Brownies in a bowl. Chocolaty, fudgy, chocolaty, fudgy … decadent and very indulgent!!
Hot Cross Strawberry Chocolate Chip Buns
Light hot cross buns with vanilla beans and chocolate chips.A sweet balsamic strawberry reduction floods the palette as you bite through. From the original site: Having studied in convents all my life, I’ve been charmed by hot cross buns for long, long, but never baked a batch. Maybe this was the time! Soon enough, the sweet aroma of Hot Cross Strawberry Chocolate Chip Buns wafted gently through the house…
Conchigliette & Three Cheese with Lobster & Bacon
I’ve created an elegant twist to an American classic and baked it up in a portion-controlled size. Baked simply in ramekins, each one is filled with nutritious whole wheat baby shells and a delicious blend of three cheeses — gruyere, sharp white cheddar and pecorino romano cheese. And for that elegant touch, and to create a twist on a classic dish, lobster and crumbled bacon are blended in for…
Lemon Cream and Saffron Petits Fours
A little lemony treat with a hint of saffron. From the original site: For the longest time a fruit tart was the ‘only’ tart I ever knew. It took me quite a while to understand what a tart was and more so the difference between a pie and a tart. I am not an ardent fan of pies but, tarts seemed something out of the ordinary. It might have been those beautiful colored fruits or the crumbly crust or just the custard fillin…
