Simply Romanesco: April 2015
http://simplyromanesco.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
April 29, 2015. Sometimes baking is a messy business. And when it comes to drowning cake squares in a pool of hot chocolate and then showering them with flaky coconut, it’s messy times two. But it’s so worth it! Growing up, this beautiful Chocolate Coconut Cake. Used to be a charming, long-awaited rarity in my grandma’s baking repertoire; a concoction bursting with unrestrained, wonderful and well-remembered flavors. The Chocolate Coconut Cake. This is not your special occasion kind of cake; it’s m...

Simply Romanesco: May 2015
http://simplyromanesco.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
May 28, 2015. Feta Cheese and Dill Stuffed Flatbread. I’m an only child, which on occasion means being spoiled rotten. So, when at age eleven I demanded a puppy, my parents happily obliged. Granted, the three of us lived in an eight hundred square foot one bedroom apartment on the sixth floor of a ten story building with no air conditioning during the scorching summer months. Not at all…. The four of us simply learned how to gloriously bake in the one bedroom hell of a sauna. Maramureș is also the place ...

Simply Romanesco: October 2014
http://simplyromanesco.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
October 31, 2014. With all the culinary. That Romania has been blessed with, you would surely think that we would be well acquainted with the popular Russian Apple Sharlotka. Well, not so much, or at least my family isn’t. Granted, my grandmother has her own arsenal of apple pies. To keep our greedy tummies satisfied. So, until stumbling across this recipe for Apple Sharlotka. In the November issue of Food and Wine. I had never heard of this kind of sweet delight. Beside the fact that this cake is ridicu...

Simply Romanesco: July 2015
http://simplyromanesco.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
July 31, 2015. What do you do when you have heaps of blueberries and you don’t know what to do with them before they go old, wrinkly and mushy? You toss them all into a glorious, summery galette, which is just a fancy French word to describe a free-form crusty cake. Is rustic, unpretentious and slightly sloppy, so don’t worry if the dough breaks while baking and the filling oozes out a bit. Sometimes I feel that the messier this galette looks the more beautiful it is, not to mention mighty tasty. And I&#...

Simply Romanesco: Yogurt with Fresh Figs, Honey and Pistachios
http://simplyromanesco.blogspot.com/2015/06/yogurt-with-fresh-figs-honey-and.html
June 30, 2015. Yogurt with Fresh Figs, Honey and Pistachios. Eons ago, I heard Kelly Ripa on her morning show talk about how her breakfast for the past ten years consisted of Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries and pistachios. To say that I was curious to try it myself is a major understatement. Even funnier was that soon after, I discovered a recipe in Bon Appétit that was similar to Kelly’s version of the perfect breakfast and casted my beloved fresh figs front and center. You can easily substitute the hon...
