Mixed Berry Tarts with Lemony Filling user reviews made it? RATE IT! by lr_marie, 5/3/2013Great recipe - the lemon filling is especially good and I didn't find the shortbread base to be too difficult. I didn't have pie weights and was too lazy to use beans :) Next time through I'll make sure I follow the instructions - my shortbread base did rise too much in the center without something to weigh it down. by allisonfaye, 6/10/2012This was the first tart recipe I ever made. by Macaroni, 8/23/2009I didn't have enough tartlet pans so I used a 9-in tart pan with removeable bottom and followed the crust baking directions from the pie (from same article). by Jason123, 3/27/2009These are very delicious and pretty to serve.
Meyer Lemons — The Salty I owe a debt of gratitude to Moroccan cooking expert Kitty Morse. After all, she’s the one who taught me just how easy it is to make my own preserved lemons. How easy? So easy that you don’t even need a real recipe for it. I took a cooking class at Draeger’s years ago that Morse taught. They cost a tidy sum if you buy them already made in jars in fancy gourmet stores. I always use Meyer lemons just because I love the floral, complex, and less puckery taste that they have. Whatever lemon variety you choose, I guarantee you will have a fascinating time making preserved lemons. Indeed, the first time I wrote about making preserved lemons years ago in the San Jose Mercury News, I admitted I couldn’t stop looking at my lemons as they transformed themselves. So how do you make them? Make two cuts in each lemon so that the quarters created remain attached. Place the jar on a counter top, and then just watch and wait. To use, pick a lemon or part of one out of the jar with a clean fork.
100 Years of Oreo: Recipes and Facts About the Famous Cookie | Shine Food The Oreo cookie was first baked one hundred years ago today!The Oreo cookie turns 100 today, and a full century of milk-dipping, creme-scraping deliciousness later, they're still they're one of the most popular treats in the world.

new york cheesecake New Yorkers have a reputation for being pushy and over-the-top — these are things you learn when you leave the city for a weekend, and a ticketing agent at the airport in Tulsa, for example, informs you that you’re so much more polite than she thought a New Yorker would be. We apparently like things bolder and taller and shinier and more intense and while I’m not sure if this really applies to your average straphanger commuting from walk-up to cubicle and back again everyday, I am absolutely certain that it applies to our cheesecakes. (No, the other kind, silly.) How is a New York Cheesecake unlike any other cheesecake? This is where I come in, with your ticket to Big Apple bliss, but better because it is can (and also roving crazies that crack up at jokes they imagine in their heads) -free, in your kitchen.

Chunky Chocolate Cheerios This is one of the most delicious if not the greatest chocolate dessert of all time. Really. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer knocked on Santa’s front door. Santa: “Who’s there?” Rudolph: “It’s me, Rudolph.” Santa: “What do you want, Rudolph?” Freezing in the cold Rudolph replies: “Ch-ch-ch…” Santa: “You want WHAT?” Rudolph: “Chunky Chocolate Cheerios!” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I don’t normally tell any jokes because they tend to be terribly lame! It all started rather innocently on a day that I had this whacky idea to add some Cheerios to the White & Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunks recipe of mine. I posted the recipe along with this by now familiar photo and that was that. Not quite. Always a bit stumped when it comes to gifts I wondered whether gifting these delightful nibbles would work. People went bonkers for it! Chunky Chocolate Cheerios sold out week after week when I ran a stall at the local farm shop. Adds crunch. If you can find another cereal that can do that, go ahead!
Rabanada (Brazilian-Style French Toast) Recipe Yes, I like it too... My grandmother's rabanadas are very creamy, and she soaks the bread longer than most people (not as long as 8 hours, but about 1 or 2). Sometimes she adds Port to the milk, which gives a distinctive "richer" taste. The traditional recipe is much simpler. Just like portuguese Fatias Paridas or french Pain Perdu, it uses just bread, milk, eggs, oil, cinnammon and sugar. We love sweet condensed milk. An we love also chocolate. Rabanadas are mostly a dessert, served at the large Christmas eve's buffet. By the way... that's what we leave for Papai Noel (Santa Claus) rabanadas and a glass of Port. espresso chocolate chip shortbread cookie recipe Recipe: espresso chocolate chip shortbread What new views through the lens?

strawberry summer cake It is not summer yet. In fact, it’s been raining for more than a week, and another week — the one in which I presume we’ll be introduced to our new mosquito overlords — is promised. In fact, it was so cold that I met a friend for lunch today and had to wear both a light wool sweater and a jacket. But I know it’s coming. I hope this will be your summer cake. And your apartment will smell like a strawberry patch.

I am ever-so-slightly on the fence about the sweetness of this cake. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Whisk flour or flours, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl. Pour into prepared pie plate.
