Speed Records and Brownie Sundaes
Julie | May 31, 2008
Velvety white chocolate ice cream tops gooey bittersweet brownies that can go from concept to plate in about 30 minutes with no boxed mix in sight (take that, Rachel Ray!).
Gnawing the Bones
Julie | May 30, 2008
Pork ribs with an Asian flair, first blanched, then fried, and finally braised, creating plates of sticky, chewy, aromatic goodness that made me a rib convert.
If You Like Piña Coladas…
Julie | May 28, 2008
The May 2008 Daring Bakers challenge featured an almost “albino” version of the traditional dark chocolate opéra cake. My variation had a piña colada theme, involving pineapple curd and mousse, coconut buttercream, and a garnish of dried pineapple flowers.
Crispy/Sesame/Mandarin/Orange Beef and/or Chicken
Julie | May 27, 2008
Thinly sliced beef, fried for crunch and then tossed with snow peas and a sticky orange sauce.
Swedish Turkey Meatballs
Julie | May 15, 2008
Turkey meatballs in a light gravy, served over pasta. I can’t vouch for their authenticity, but they were very tasty.
Bay Scallop Risotto
Julie | May 15, 2008
A straightforward risotto flavored with dried porcini mushrooms and dotted with tender bay scallops.
Julie Had a Lotta Lamb
Julie | May 10, 2008
Boneless leg of lamb, broken down into Moroccan-spiced kebabs and a savory Irish lamb stew, thickened with potatoes and barley.
What Almanzo Liked Most
Julie | May 9, 2008
Pan-roasted brats with a creamy, sweet-tart compote of apples and onions; these are equally at home served over noodles, spaetzle, polenta or potatoes.
