October 22, 2012
Herbed Mushroom Truffle Paté, an earthy accompaniment to a smooth cheese; it makes a wicked canape or two, greatly improves a pizza and is a short cut to a simple sauce.

Autumn fruits fill the aisles, how can you possibly resist the shapely pear? So smooth, so ripe, so bottom heavy, and perfectly delicious with a bit of blue cheese as Cardamom Pear Butter.
This is a recipe I’ve tweaked and tinkered with a dozen times in attempts to make it super fancy, to no avail. Sometimes it’s best to stick with the original recipe, however humble, such is the case for Mom’s Chocolate Pudding Cake. There’s no taste like home.
Sweet Potato Succotash & Pear Glazed Pork Chops, another solo dinner at Chez Gypsy featuring autumn flavours. It’s almost impossible not to make Looney Tunes references when motioning succotash “sweet sufferin’ succotash!” It’s not often I quote Sylvester the Cat.
In the mood for mini doughnuts for a little cocktail party treat, we went in search of a recipe to fit our needs. These were not quite what we were looking for, but still a tasty result. I suppose this means more doughnut taste-testing in our future.
Indulge in fresh Mediterranean flavours and omega threes. Three Pepper Salmon with Lemon Herb Rice and Olive Tomato Relish, is a meal in 45 minutes with colourful citrus rice and a super-fast relish, warmed to make a salty drizzle and capture all those healthy oils.
Créme Caramel done well is rich, creamy and smooth. When inverted, a sweet layer of liquid caramel oozes over the sides and runs on to the plate to form the perfect puddle of sticky goodness to counter the cool, sweet custard. It might be a bit of a daunting dessert to try – until now. All you need are a few simple steps and a little respect for the boundaries of this delicate flan.
Having a ball in the big shiny kitchen, in the last couple of weeks I’ve tied about five hundred of these adorable little vegetable bundles for weddings and swanky gala events. A great idea for easy entertaining.
Rosemary Apple Glazed Chicken with Dried Cranberries and Bacon Polenta. Perfect on a dark & stormy early autumn evening, as temperatures drop and comfort food comes to mind.
The secret to beautiful Asian Spring Rolls is the art of the perfect roll. These are a rice paper version; bright, fresh and packed with flavor, the deep fried variety features the same rolling technique with a different wrapper. Once you have this down you’re a spring-rolling machine.
A little twist on a French classic, Cherry Clafoutis with White Chocolate made with the last of the summer cherries, the swan song of summer. It won’t be long before we’re awash with pumpkins and apples as the kids head back to school and sweaters emerge from storage. But let’s not talk about that, let’s stay with summer a little bit longer and chat about cherries.
If you like your coffee administered with the speed of a napping sloth, then Reverse Iced Coffee is for you. If, on the other hand, you really need your coffee, like now, you might consider another method and be glad I tried this so you don’t have to.
