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.
Reviewing the cookbook Grace’s Sweet Life this week, we did a quick recipe test of Grace’s Raspberry, Blueberry and Pistachio-Almond Crumble or as one might say in Italian: Crumble di Lamponi e Miritti con Pistachio e Mandorle. Which, let’s face it, sounds a-mazing.
Adding to our essential sauces of the barbecue season with a tangy Chimichurri Sauce from South America. In it’s native Argentina it is the quintessential condiment for grilled meats, an Argentine pesto if you will, combining parsley, garlic, onion, olive oil, and vinegar for a powerful punch.
This week’s hot, humid weather has seen us worshipping the air conditioning as temperatures climb. What better way to beat the heat than with a frozen treat for adult tastes? The Lemon Blood Orange Float reminds me of a the melting creamsicles of my childhood; creamy citrus, in a glass.
Our barbecue essentials list continues with a wicked Smokey Jack Daniels Ketchup and a bit of Jack Smoke that gave our Father’s Day barbecue a whole lot of Kentucky kick.
We are lousy with rhubarb, big ripe juicy stalks of it in one long row in sun. Over the weekend we enjoyed the backyard and a few steaks, and I simply could not resist making something fresh from the garden, thus the Rhubarb Ginger Fizz was born.
A quick green side for spring – Asparagus, Snap Pea, New Potato & Fiddlehead Sauteé. Serve warm or cold, a simple medley of spring produce.
When I see ingredients I haven’t worked with I often drag them home to see what new delights I can concoct. Welcome home Kumquats, which quickly became Candied Kumquats… a taste of sunshine.
Smooth, dark and super rich, this Chocolate Espresso Truffle Cake is a slab of pure chocolate heaven. It’s also flourless so there’s no pesky carbohydrates, and it’s gluten free. Just a few simple ingredients you probably already have: butter, sugar, chocolate, espresso and eggs, it’s temptation in it’s purest form. You’ve been warned.
Roasted Vegetables with Garlic, Rosemary & Lemon, know at Chez Gypsy as the Ode to Tubers, is a household favorite. The oils from the olive, the lemon and rosemary are old friends; they bond in a familiar kinship to make this simple side dish look amazing, taste terrific and smell fantastic.
This promises to be very bad for your diet. Gingerbread Hot Chocolate made in the French style with cream, coca and real chocolate to make it rich and thick. Then for some seasonal fun we’ve spiced it up to give you a little kick of ginger.
To be more precise: candied yams, dates & walnuts with yogurt & brandied figs. A happy accident that became dessert
