Rule number one is a rule I dearly wish more people would follow. I'd also like to add an addendum to the rule for those writing cookbooks in Japan, and say that Rule 1-A should state that recipes should never use pancake mix as an ingredient.
World's Best Pancakes
The first rule of pancakes: Don’t use a mix. Let me repeat that: Don’t use a mix. It saves no time, it tastes no good - and it costs more money. Pancake Rule Two: Don’t even think about using inferior maple syrup. A good pancake deserves the very best. Pancake Rule Three: Don’t skimp. I know my...
So glad you didn't keep this post as a draft. I think that even if we can't learn something about ourselves from a post, a post almost always teaches others something about us. Part of blogging is the community. It is through sharing yourself that our lives are enriched. XOXO
just because
As the sun's rays streamed into the living this morning, Virginia curled up in my lap. I secretly hoped it was the sign of a good week to come. I asked if she wanted to bake today, and she promptly replied "pink cake". So, it was decided. We would be making cupcakes today...just because. Lord...
This tart was absolutely incredible! When I got home my husband and I savored every last crumb of the slice I brought home. DROOL!!!! I can't wait to try making it myself! XOXO
A Little More Joy of Baking, LA Helps LA and Fig Frangipane Tart
I have been a busy camper! This past weekend Small Pleasures hosted LA Helps LA, a tasting event to raise funds for the Gulf Restoration Network. As many of you probably know, I was born in that crescent shaped city not too very far north of the Gulf Coast, and what happened to it in the wake of...
"Those are oh-so-good and instantly addictive they might as well be crack. Really."--Based on your description, I believe you! These sound extremely dangerous. I've just been looking at puffed rice substitutes myself to try and make homemade hina arare (colored puffed rice treats: http://japanesefood.about.com/library/pictures/blhinaararepicture.htm) for Hinamatsuri (Japanese Girl's Day) which is coming up on March 3rd. I'm hoping to be as lucky as you in finding workable options!
Chocolate-covered peanut & sesame caramel bars
I guess I should just come out and admit it. My name is Pim, and I just made a vegan an almost-vegan dessert - peanuts/sesame/rice puffs/palm sugar caramel bars, to be precise. And I dipped them in chocolate - Valrhona Araguani 72%, because there's nothing good that's not made better by a d...
Mmmm, this sounds amazing! These days we've been cooking most of our chickens rotisserie style on the grill. I love making a miso glaze.
Roast Chicken, Christian Delouvrier's way
Recipes come to us in odd little ways. I remember learning how to make truffle omelettes from a gigling, nearly toothless old lady in Southwest France. Of course I took her seriously, she happened to be Marthe Delon, the famous truffle huntress who has been training a truffle-hunting pig a ...
