Chocolate Meringues & Espresso Zabaglione

Valentine’s Day is over and it’s back to regular business. As far as cooking goes that pretty much just means less desserts and more lunches and dinners. I’ll finish the weekend off (on a Monday) with another dessert though, a combo of the Saturday post. The recipes for the basic meringues and the espresso zabaglione [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Gluten Free Swedish Crumble Dough Apple Pie

This is my favourite dessert for this weekend, so I saved it for Valentine’s Day. It’s a Swedish apple pie made with crumble dough which is really delicious. And called crumble dough for the obvious reason: It’s crumbly. It requires a bit of work but all in all this shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Grand Marnier Zabaglione

This is the first time ever I made zabaglione, or sabayon (French). I was looking around to see what I could do with my egg yolks after making meringues with the whites. I found an answer pretty quickly. And it is crazy delicious! So it’s a hot dessert so it should be served immediately after [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Cupcake Meringues

Let’s kick off the weekend with two desserts in two different posts. Starting off with meringues. Hard whipped egg whites and sugar in perfect harmony. The blend: 2 egg whites ½ cup of sugar Make sure your eggs are room temperature, or leave them out of the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will allow [...]

When Creativity Runs Dry – Experiment!

Another experiment tonight. Exotic flavours is trendy right now in the chocolate business. Bacon, curry, rosemary and ginger/wasabi. Plus many, many more. I decided to try it out and copy one of these on a nutella like hazelnut spread by Leonidas Chocolate. For this I used: Leonidas Chocolate hazelnut spread A pinch of ground red [...]

Passion Fruit, Part Two

The chocolate: I started with boiling up some water in a pot, put half a pound of dark Leonidas chocolate in a coffee mug and put it in the water (apparently you can microwave it, but I did it the hard way -_-) turn down the heat so the water isn’t boiling and wait for [...]

Passion Fruit, Part One

Here’s a post to enjoy over the weekend! Part two on Monday! This post could pretty much have the images speak for themselves =) ^ – the true meaning of chocolate covered strawberries! There were chocolate leftovers so I mixed down some dried blueberries into the melted chocolate and made a blueberry chocolate bar. Everything [...]

Summerlicious

Summer is getting closer, its already in the 60s outside and there’s not a single cloud in the sky. It’s beautiful outside. Unfortunately we don’t have a nice backyard so I had to serve the strawberry dish inside. Looks good huh ^___^ Just chopped up some strawberries, maybe 5-8 big ones. Poured them into a [...]
