Brown Butter Hazelnut Cake with Praline
Hazelnuts make the best desserts. I feel like a lot of desserts are almond based, and poor old hazelnuts never get a look in. Hazelnuts are more complex and work well in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Affogato
I’ve been trying to cut down on coffee, which is hard when you live in Seattle and there is a coffee shop pretty much on every corner. So, I have relegated coffee drinking to the weekends. Somehow it tastes better now that I don’t drink it as often -I wonder how long that will last 😉
Lemon Magic Cake
Have you heard of magic cake? – it’s called magic cake because it’s essentially one cake batter that separates into three layers when cooked. More science than magic really, but we food bloggers like the word magic better 😉
Sunchoke Chips and Guacamole
Like most people, I enjoy tortilla chips and guacamole with a beer. Tortilla chips are great and tasty, but not the most nutritional snack I know. So, I am always trying to think of a healthier snack to enjoy with a drink.
Bacon + Egg Cups with Kale Chips
The OH jokingly said he is going to open up a restaurant called Fad. The idea of this fantasy restaurant is that it serves only the latest food fads – whether it is macaroons, bacon, kale, cupcakes or cake pops! He could be onto something 🙂 people become obsessed by food fads.
Chocolate and Hazelnut Tart
Ferrero rocher sweets were the type of chocolates that only ever appeared on special occasions. Advertisers would have us believe that they were served at Ambassador’s receptions and reserved for the finest of company.
