THE HISTORY CHEF! South Of Gilman St. Pepperoni Pizza Puffs If I ask my kids what they want for dinner, there's a ninety percent chance they will say pizza. They love it, as most kids do. I guess I have an affection for it too, but we don't indulge too often. If I had to choose a favorite pizza, it would be the Hawaiian, but no one else in my household appreciates its flavors like I do, too bad for them. So when my kids came home from school and I had this afternoon snack waiting for them, they were pretty excited to be having pizza at 3 PM. Okay, so was I, can you blame me? These are the simplest, yummiest little bites. If you have a mini muffin pan you are good to go. Preheat oven to 375o. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through, then stir in 1 Tablespoon basil. Sprinkle the puffs with the remaining 1 Tablespoon basil.

The Cook Abides. Devil’s Food Cake for Design Sponge : Cafe Fernando – Food Blog - biscoff - devil's food cake - Cakes October 30th, 2010 | Category: Cakes, Chocolate I am a big fan of Design Sponge‘s “In The Kitchen With” column. Every Friday, they feature talented cooks, bakers, photographers and food stylists from all around the world and publish a recipe for the rest of us to drool over. So when Kristina asked me if I’d like to contribute a recipe and photos for the column, I was simply floored. Here’s what I came up with: Devil’s Food Cake with Whipped Biscoff Ganache and Chocolate Shards. Moist and fluffy cake layers with a velvety ganache in the middle. Presentation is everything and it really doesn’t have to be laborious. You simply melt chocolate, spread it thinly on a parchment paper, roll it into a tube, chill and unroll. The ganache part incorporates a recent addiction of mine: Biscoff spread. Also known as Speculoos cream in some parts of the world, it is a spread made with the famous Belgian spicy cookies. Many thanks to Kristina and Design Sponge for this wonderful opportunity. Ingredients

soft pretzels i was feeling a bit scrooge-like this weekend for not baking any christmas cookies. rather than make red and green cookies i decided to try something i have always wanted to do but have never gotten around to ... soft pretzels. that would be my christmas baking. i remembered bookmarking a recipe on smitten kitchen that looked amazing. i always trust the recipes on Deb's site. any time i plan on making something intricate or complicated i go there to see if/how she has done it. once again - a perfect recipe from Deb! i am a bit at a loss for words to describe these little chubby soft pretzels. amazing ... wonderful ... perfect ...heavenly ... they all kind of work but don't quite encompass how completely ridiculous these little guys are. yea they take some time and love but my god are they astonishing! the outside gets crispy and brown and the inside is perfectly chewy. i will never be able to eat another ball park pretzel again. these are in a whole other league. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
