So I was very excited to make the week’s recipe, which was Banana Cream Pie. This was my first banana cream pie and it was totally delicious. I decided to make this pie in stages since I had some time issues this week. I made the pastry cream first, which I completed with no incident.… Continue reading Banana Cream Pies
Basil Rockfish Recipe
Well, I had every intention of making this. I went to my fish monger on Monday night to get some salmon, and of course, they were out. :no: Unfortunately, the only time I had to make this was Tuesday night so I had to get something to make for dinner. I ended up getting some… Continue reading Basil Rockfish Recipe
My Passover Meal
I was away until Sunday night and had to work late on Monday, no time for extraneous baking. Instead, I thought I would share some photos from my Passover Seder with my family. We only had Seder one night, but it was quite a feast. Above is my family’s Seder plate. If you are unfamiliar… Continue reading My Passover Meal
Swordfish and Roasted Beet Salad Recipe
I’m going to get this out of the way immediately: this salad is like a child to me. It is far and away one of my favorite things to both prepare and eat. The idea for this salad came from a truly uninspired trip to the grocery store. As you may have guessed, I rarely… Continue reading Swordfish and Roasted Beet Salad Recipe
A Fail at Pie Dough
Last night, I attempted to make this. Clearly, something went awry. It turned out to be a big mess. Okay, so I just wrote that paragraph and went off to find my link to the ever trustworthy recipe on Recipes. I stopped off at a few other search results along the way to see what… Continue reading A Fail at Pie Dough
New York Style Lox & Bagels
I may have mentioned once or twice (or maybe ten million times) that I grew up in New York. So my childhood was filled with pizza, bagels with lox and cream cheese, Sunday night Chinese take out, and diners. Many a weekend breakfast was spent with my family at various Long Island diners. (If you… Continue reading New York Style Lox & Bagels
Oven Baked Potato Hash Brown Cake Recipe
There is not much to say about them except that they are excellent, and surprisingly not that unhealthy. I have made these a couple times now and they are always satisfyingly savory and crispy. I use a mandolin to thinly slice the onions and I use the grater plate from my food processor to grate… Continue reading Oven Baked Potato Hash Brown Cake Recipe
Homemade Egg Fettucine Noodles
There are very few things that I can do well. If you knew me personally, you’d know I’m not just being modest. Luckily, one of those things happens to be making fresh, homemade, ridiculously delicious, egg noodle pasta. I say so because Sara has quite an affinity for those silky, carbo-stuffed, relationship saving strands of… Continue reading Homemade Egg Fettucine Noodles
Cornish Hen Recipe
Are you bored with chicken? It was my boredom with roasting chickens and an excellent episode of “Good Eats” that got me thinking about making some Cornish game hens. Are you asking yourself, what is a Cornish game hen? Well, you’re in luck. A Cornish game hen is not Cornish, nor is it game. It… Continue reading Cornish Hen Recipe
How to Make a Proper Danish
I am by no means an expert on laminated dough. I have failed previously in feeble attempts to make puff pastry and croissants. Sometimes to the extent that I deserved to be beaten repeatedly with soap bound in a bath towel. The reason I say this is because every joe-blow showoff with a food blog… Continue reading How to Make a Proper Danish
