The Challenge | silverbells steps out
https://silverbells2012.wordpress.com/the-challenge
A journey of discovery in my garden. Cabbage with nutmeg and feta. Slow cooker baked potato and fried egg. Tomato and Jerusalem artichoke soup. Months 11 and 12. Months 9 and 10. I have set myself the challenge of eating, drinking or otherwise using, something from my garden every day that I am at home. Starting yesterday, 15th May 2012, I ate purple sprouting broccoli. Both leaves and flowers). Today, I have prepared a lunch. With my own chillies (in a salad. And I aim to have fennel. Well, as predicted...

My Cooking Resolution – Continuing a Legacy. Apricot Gâteau Basque →. February 8, 2013. I’m feeling particularly nostalgic today, because 7 years ago this month I started the best job of my life. It is where I met my Minneapolis family – my sure to be life long friends – and where I lost years of sleep. Isles Bun and Coffee, Minneapolis, MN. But these people have been so instrumental in those formative years of mine, and I wanted to acknowledge the wonderful influence they’ve had on me. You are commentin...

A Very Long Fermentation | THE ÉCLAIRe
https://theeclaire.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/a-very-long-fermentation
Winter Meals and Buttery Granola. A Very Long Fermentation. February 4, 2015. Oh, hi there. It’s been a while. A whole year, in fact. I may have gotten a little busy, I may have lost a bit of steam, I may have mixed myself up into a sourdough sponge and jumped into the fridge for a nice long ferment. It’s like hibernatingfor bread. But I’ve warmed up again, and the bread must be baked. Time to come back to life. Having lived without one on a few occasions, I can tell you it is. It is a humbling experienc...

Winter Meals & Buttery Granola | THE ÉCLAIRe
https://theeclaire.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/winter-meals-buttery-granola
Mini Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce. A Very Long Fermentation →. Winter Meals and Buttery Granola. February 2, 2014. A time for colorful meals and buttery treats to carry us through the cold that so often outstays its welcome in Wisconsin. Whether they be grandiose holiday meals or the simple weekly dinners with a few close friends, something about preparing and eating food changes in the wintertime. One of my favorite things to make in the winter is this granola. Good for breakfast, for dessert over...

Apricot Gâteau Basque | THE ÉCLAIRe
https://theeclaire.wordpress.com/2013/08/11/apricot-gateau-basque
August 11, 2013. It’s been weeks and weeks since I’ve baked. One needs a good reason to turn on the oven on a Wisconsin August day. At $250 a quart, these apricots were the steal of the farmers’ market. I don’t remember the name of the variety, but they were the size of a ping-pong ball with very tough flesh. Not your “eat right off the tree” type. These needed some intense heat application, and I had just the thing in mind. 1 tsp lemon zest. 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened. FOR THE PASTRY CREAM:.
