Pastry chefs have been using this method for making quick sponge cake for years. As far as I know Albert Adria invented it years ago at El Bulli in Spain. I saw him “cook” it in a microwave on Anthony Bourdain’s ”Decoding Ferran Adria“. I’ve never managed to give it a shot because until recently I did not have [...]

I, along with a couple of friends, recently visited a good buddy of ours in Seattle. Well, we went to “Lebowski Fest” actually. That was fun, but the trip was really an excuse to share beers with friends, see the sights of the absolutely wonderful city of Seattle (the weather was just perfect BTW), and eat some good food of course. [...]
“Kit Kat”, Chocolate Gelato, Peanut and Coconut
Posted in Book Recipes, Chocolate, Dairy, Food, Ice Cream and Frozen Treats, tagged Chocolate, Coconut Foam, Kit Kat, Michel Richard, Peanut Brittle on September 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This dessert tasted great. The flavors worked perfectly. It had some very nice textures. If only that coconut foam cooperated, it would’ve looked as good as I had planned as well. At some point I wanted to also include a banana component in this dish but I did not have the proper ingredients, so no banana. [...]

Reading through this recipe in the Alinea cookbook I got the feeling that this will be a warm and comforting dish. What I could not wrap my mind around, was how all the components will fit together. Each component, taken on its own, sounded great but put them all together and I was not that sure. [...]

For the past few weeks, every Thursday, a farmers’ market have been setup in the plaza center right next to my office. I did not honestly expect much but was pleasantly surprised. A couple of vendors are selling fresh eggs, there several with good summer vegetables, a very good bread stand, several prepared food and “treats’ [...]
A Cake for Mom: Strawberry Ricotta Cake
Posted in Baking, Book Recipes, Dairy, Eggs, Food, Fruits, Pastry, tagged Angel Food Cake, Frosting, Rebecca Rather, Ricotta, Strawberries, Whipped Cream on May 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The decision was made a while back by my 6-year-old that the cake for Mother’s Day will have lots of strawberries. So that was that. Diana had to choose if she wanted it chocolate mousse based or “something white and lighter”. She went for the latter choice. This delicious cake is a perfect spring time cake and a [...]
