Playful? What an understatement! This is fabulous, and judging from the fork next to the wedge, it is absolutely dinky too. Fantastic!

foie cake
You've been looking forward to this meal for some time. You've chosen the restaurant because you heard that the food is playful. You're here because you're hungry, but not just for food. You order the tasting menu. You don't read through the courses because you want to be surprised. You're now...
You always manage to catch me off-guard with your simple dish names! But then again, it does leave me the fun of trying to figure out the components before scrolling down for the big reveal :)
Yet another amazingly inventive dessert. I remain in awe of your talent.

blackberry rose cashew
blackberry rose sorbet Blackberries and roses belong to the plant family Rosaceae along with strawberries and raspberries. As the flavor of roses is largely dictated by their aroma, choose highly fragrant varieties such as rugosa or floribunda. Pick the petals in the morning, when they are t...
This is seriously, seriously clever. I love it!

raclette potato
I have a confession to make: I am a sucker for babies. They reduce me to a pile of cooing, quivering jelly. When I encounter a neonate, i have to fight the urge to stuff their pudgy cheeks, fists, and feet into my mouth. This may seem bizarre, but I'm willing to bet there are some of you that ...
That rose is stunning!

Ah, the rose... Is there any other flower that has stirred the passion of poets, writers, artists... ...and yes, even cooks? rose petals fried in almond oil--sweet, crisp, irresistible a delicate, crisp rose made from Methocel film Methocel Rose Place 200 g. water and 90 g. s...
What a gorgeous photo!
I am fascinated by the spherification process and now that you've mentioned that dairy needs only one chemical compound, I might try to find a source of it (food grade, one assumes) in the UK.

strawberry soup
I've been on a fruit soup kick lately. My juicer has been working OT. I promised him a break after this one. The other night, I made a cold cherry soup infused with star anise and swirled with yogurt. I've never been to Morocco, but that soup took me there. Landed me in a souk in Marrakesh. W...
This is an absolute joy to behold. I only wish I could taste it...

pea soup
When I tell people that I've been cooking since childhood, they invariable ask how I remain interested and enthusiastic about the preparation of food. I could go on citing reasons for days--don't even get me started--but at the very top of the list is what lures me out of bed each morning: It ...
I would never, ever have guessed that as being some sort of toddler-restraining device. I guess kids weren't too smart in the 1600s... I can't picture my little monster staying in that for very long!

Polenta Salad; It's a Toddler Tender! and The Weekly Menu
Polenta Salad It's a 'baby-minder'. Apparently there are not enough totally frustrated mother's of toddlers reading my blog, as no one came even close.... One slides the two top panels apart, drops the toddler in up to the armpits, slides them shut and... Voila! Instant toddler-tender. The chi...
I have to try this. Absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I'm going to have fun playing.
You have a beautiful website and are insanely--and a bit intimidatingly--talented!!

Disasters are what make us appreciate the successes even more. And for what it's worth, I think your strawberry braid looks quite delicious!

Pacman wishes he looked as good as that!!
I think the choux look adorable and I love the combination of lemon and green tea. Sounds very refreshing.

Green Tea Choux Pacman for Donna
My choux pastries look a lot like a Pacman. This a less frightening photo of them. Believe me when I say some of them looked quite scary Pacmans with green tongues. Suzana at Home Gourmets is this months host of Hay Hay Its Donna Day and she has chosen choux pastry as the theme. I remember t...
I got this book last Christmas and I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't cooked anything from it! It is beautiful, though....

I was surprised to find a Passion Flower/Fruit vine on the wall of my new house. It's laden with fruit, however, it doesn't get hot enough here for the fruit to ripen to an edible state.

Passion Flower @ Columbia Farmers Market
After purchasing some Italian plums, Walla Wallas and green tomatoes (to make some jam at home) I felt a little hunger pang. So, as I was on my way to get a little lemonade, grilled veggies and vegan tamale ($6, from the Patty Pan Vegetarian Grill stand) I spotted a man with a flower that ca...
