Savory Mini Muffins

Savory Mini Muffins

From Chez Loulou, 5 month ago Similar articles

When it comes to apéro nibbles I have but one requirement - they should not be fussy. Actually, now that I think about it, I might have a few more... Nibbles shouldn't require utensils, they can be eaten in only one or two bites, and of course they should be delicious. Oh, and one last thing...they shouldn't take hours and hours to make. Luckily there are a myriad of recipes out there that meet my strict requirements, and these mini muffins are one of them. I have British chef, Delia...

Condomat and Curry Wurst

From The Dutched Pinay, 5 days ago, Similar articles

On our way back to the Netherlands from our Berlin-Potsdam short holiday, we stopped by at a tank station along the highway to refuel and eat dinner. Fuel in Germany is cheaper than in the Netherlands. I guess every where else outside the Netherlands, fuel is cheaper.And on my quick stop to the loo, I found this interesting vending machine on the wall:A condomat, selling tampons, vaginal stimulation play gel, condoms of course in different flavours, and a mini vibrator. How straightforward...

Healthy Rhubarb Muffins

Healthy Rhubarb Muffins

From In My Life, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles

A few weeks ago I finally managed to find rhubarb at the market. What a joy! I had eagerly been waiting for that moment; the arrival of rhubarb signifies the beginning of spring to me. Plus, I can't help feeling happy when I see its bright pink color! I got home and immediately made some compote to go over my vanilla yogurt in the morning, but I still had a little left and shamefully, it managed to stay on my kitchen counter since then. Unused and unhappy. Until this afternoon when I was...

A promise to my daughter - Roibos and Vanilla Muffins With Chocolate Chips

From Lucullian Delights, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles

Dark white. Seeing white through my camera often surprises me because the camera doesn't adjust nuances and shades like my brain does. There are so many whites: shining white, bright white, eggshell white, cream white, blue white, snow white, dirty white and dark white - the list is long. And it doesn't surprise me because if white is all colours come together, there are even more

My sister Meg's amazing pastry skills

My sister Meg's amazing pastry skills

From I was really just very hungry, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles

It’s been a bit too serious around here, so here’s some fun. I think I’m pretty good at savory cooking, but when it comes to pastry I definitely need more practice. However, my little sister Meg is an amazing pastry chef. She used to work at Toraya in New York, and has also done a stint as a speciality cookie designer. She decided some years ago to stop being a fulltime chef, but she still does some catering. She recently catered the wedding of her friends Bennie and Tyneia...

From Life as Ays sees it, 1 month ago, Similar articles

the east coast park (ecp) is a stretch of land along, well, obviously, the east coast of singapore. this is one of the more popular family/barkada hangouts, especially during weekends or holidays. my friends and i have done several barbeque parties here over the years, and it's a good place to eat seafood. on weekends, there'll be a lot of runners, bikers, rollerbladers here too.the nice thing about the ecp is that it's part of the park connector network, which means it's connected to other...

La Fête du Fromage - Le Deauville

La Fête du Fromage - Le Deauville

From Chez Loulou, 1 month ago, Similar articles

I'm not fussy when it comes to trying new cheese. As soon as I get it home, snap a few photos and make sure it is at room temperature (very important not to eat cheese too cold!), I cut myself a generous wedge and dive right in. Which is exactly what I did with le Deauville, a sumptuous cow's milk cheese that we picked up on a mini road trip last week to, you guessed it, Deauville. Next time I might be a bit more careful, however. This one looks pretty harmless, but it is not for the faint...

Dutch Apple Baby & Truffled Skillet Soufflé: Cast Iron Breakfasts

Dutch Apple Baby & Truffled Skillet Soufflé: Cast Iron Breakfasts

From Ms. Glaze's Pommes d'Amour, 1 month ago, Similar articles

That long title is a complicated way of saying: one basic recipe, two different results. My Mom makes Dutch Apple Baby for fancy brunches. It's a crowd pleaser. Especially when you enter carrying a poofy egg soufflé that smells like hot apple pie.  I revived our family recipe for a brunch at Echo Valley Farm but offered a choice of sweet or savory ? or both! It cooks perfectly in cast iron skillets. (In fact I wouldn't do it any other way.) And it looks great on the table ?...

Raspberry and vanilla friands with cacao nibs

From Nami-nami, 1 month ago, Similar articles

Here's another delicious friand recipe, following the lingonberry and coconut friands and blueberry and lemon friands I wrote about last year. I'm still in love with those Australian little cakes, and whenever I have excess egg whites, I bake these as opposed to meringues or mini-Pavlovas. Raspberry and vanilla friands with cacao nibs (Vaarika-vanillifriandid kakaotükikestega) Makes eight, suitable for freezing 100 g unsalted butter, melted (1 stick minus 1 Tbsp) 125 g icing...
