Daring Bakers Tiramisu

Is there anytime more divine then finishing off a delicious meal with a sublime Tiramisu? It is such a wonderful dessert that can pass as an optical illusion of light, but beware of its caloric content! You don’t realize how many calories are in there until you make it once. But it is worth every [...]

Nanaimo Better Late than Never

With a crazy end of January month I had to skip my first Baker’s Challenge. This kind of really broke my heart as I actually follow the blog of the host: Lauren of Celiac Teen. I was really upset at not being able to participate in time.

But I did promise myself to do the recipe [...]

Daring Cooks Mezze

The 2010 February Daring COOKs challenge was hosted by Michele of Veggie Num Nums. Michele chose to challenge everyone to make mezze based on various recipes from Claudia Roden, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Dugid.

Yummy Satay

I was first surprised when I saw this month’s Daring Cook’s Challenge. This month we were doing Pork Satay with Peanut Sauce. I read it and was dumbefounded by how simple it all seemed. I was disappointed because I thought it would not be a spectacular finish.

I stand corrected. It was easy, super easy…but ohhhhhhhhhh [...]

Anna: The recipe I tested is from Good Housekeeping – I chose it because it was simple and required only ingredients I personally always have in my kitchen. Plus, it was so funky I [...]

Saumon en Croute

I dare you to make it! Well that was this month’s Daring Cook’s challenge on the Daring Kitchen. Wow let me tell you when I read it I was like : Finally something easy! I have never made this before (nor the similar Beef Wellington) but just reading the instructions I knew it was a [...]

The Cannoli Debate

Wow, who would have thought The Daring Kitchen’s last baker’s challenge was going to become such a controversy! I have gotten lots of private and public feedback but the best has been an ongoing email conversation with Claudia, a member of my dinner group. She happens to have Italian blood in her veins.

The controversy is [...]

Worldwind Exposure

****after I published this link like everywhere on earth a friend wrote saying:’ Is it not spelled whirlwind?” Duh, blind moment…yes I wrote it wrong.***

Wow, when they say everything happens at the same time….they mean it. And over a 3 day period – in a row!

Even if you try to ignore me I’ll be plastered [...]

Homemade Ricotta and Mascarpone

These two recipes were the ‘bonus’ recipes of this month’s Baker’s Challenge over at The Daring Kitchen…..the challenging being cannoli if you read my posts a bit below. Now I did not make these bonus recipes but totally thought they are worth sharing. I also do plan on making each soon. I think the idea [...]
