Chai Snickerdoodles
Tuesday, September 6, 2011 Chai Snickerdoodles* When I got married, no one told me that Jorge and I would eventually be able to have an entire conversation without opening our mouths. That instead, all we would have to do is look at each other and an entire conversation can take place. I also had no idea how little a guy could care about my hair. Before Jorge, my boyfriends always commented on my hair. Something else no one warned me about? In preparation for tomorrow, Jorge’s big day back to work (YAY!!

Julia Child’s Perfect Chocolate Mousse Recipe
My search for the perfect, most luscious and chocolaty mousse au chocolat brought me right back home to America, to Julia Child’s recipe. Although I have a few other versions in my repertoire, her recipe is a classic and has that perfect slightly-gummy texture, backed up by a wallop of pure dark chocolate flavor. This recipe requires a vigorous bit of whipping. So if you’ve ever wanted to really know why French women don’t get fat even though they eat all those luscious desserts, well…once you make this mousse, you’ll soon learn the answer. And because the recipe is classic French, it uses raw eggs. Speaking of top-quality, since the flavor of the mousse depends on good chocolate, feel free to splurge on a good brand; you won’t regret it. Bon Appétit! Chocolate Mousse Six to eight servings Adapted from Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Knopf) by Julia Child. I tried to reduce the amount of butter in the recipe and found it wasn’t nearly as good. 1. 2. 3. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Rhubarb and Raspberry Crostata Recipe
As I was shopping for produce at my local branch of Super King, I spied a stack of ruby rhubarb stalks out of the corner of my eye. On impulse, I grabbed a bag and quickly filled it with a half dozen stems. I had no clue at the moment what would become of this seasonal booty, but I was excited about the possibility of a pie, a crumble, or maybe even jam. Additionally, I was stoked about working with rhubarb from prep to plate. I have consumed plenty of the stuff over the years, but never cooked with it in my kitchen. After coming home from the grocery store and going through my cookbooks, food magazines, and various web resources, I settled on this rhubarb and raspberry crostata recipe from Karen Demasco of Locanda Verde in New York City. Both the dough and the filling came together smoothly and easily, and the finished crostata brought a great balance of flavors. I love it when unplanned market purchases turn out so nicely.

The Cottage Smallholder » Danny’s slow roast belly of pork to die for recipe
Joint of pork belly with skin side down ready for slow roast We have Sunday Lunch in the evening and Danny usually cooks it. If I have the day off, I can spend hours in the garden and totter in at dusk to a great meal. Perfect. Last week he cooked the best pork that I have ever tasted. I had bought belly of pork from Fred Fitzpatrick on a whim. Danny was polite and definitely suspicious when I showed him the thin joint. I was working last weekend and arrived home to tantalising smells drifting from the oven. The pork had a deep, mellow flavour and the crackling was truly superb. Do also consider serving this perfect Yorkshire pudding recipe with this or any roast.
