http://luanne-abookwormsworld.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Book worm 1. A person who is excessively fond of reading. Monday, August 31, 2015. A Pattern of Lies - Charles Todd. Returns with the latest (#7) in the Bess Crawford series - A Pattern of Lies. Bess is a Sister with England's Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service. She has served her country since the beginning of the war in both France and England. It's 1918 and the hope is that the War will soon be over. Oh, I just love this series! Read an excerpt of A Pattern of Lies. I'm going to go wi...

Upon her return to Los Angeles, Niki opened her first restaurant - Azami Sushi Cafe, which quickly became known for Niki's popular omakase menu. Azami was an immediate LA staple, touted by Zagat and the Los Angeles Times in addition to earning Citysearch's "Best of Sushi" distinction in 2006. N/naka has been ten years in the making and is the expansion of Niki's previous endeavors, applying the artistic and technical notions of kaiseki to create an ever-evolving seasonal narrative within each meal. It wa...

No-Brainer Desserts.: Fall Special: Apple Pear Chutney
http://nobrainerdesserts.blogspot.com/2008/09/fall-special-apple-pear-chutney.html
Not Swanning About In My Kitchen All The Livelong Day. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Fall Special: Apple Pear Chutney. I've been on a sort of bar cookie rampage recently, but the last ones I made were not as good as I remembered (a recipe from my old culinary school's student bakery/cafe). To comfort myself I made this chutney, and it turned out to be fall in a bottle. So wonderful, and almost better than a gingersnap. Apple Pear Chutney, with Golden Raisins. Makes about 4 cups. Juice of 1 lemon. Let the...

Not Swanning About In My Kitchen All The Livelong Day. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Spring is here (all 88 degrees of it, yecch), our winter diseases are past (well, except for a lingering post nasal drip), and the time has come for health food. Well, not really health food, but healthier food. Healthy-ish food? This is based on a breakfast bread my husband ordered at Herbivore, a vegan restaurant in San Francisco. Don't sneer; although the service there is predictably spacey and. But it is good! Makes one...

Not Swanning About In My Kitchen All The Livelong Day. Monday, April 28, 2008. I would never, EVER ask you to make tuiles. Lovely, isn't it? Tuiles are the Devil's Cookies, the.Biscuits of Beelzebub. They are the antithesis of a no-brainer dessert: they require thought and preparation, are fiddly in the extreme and half of them don't come out anyway. Every recipe makes vast quantities of batter. You need. To use Silpats for them. They don't keep. They are decoration. 169; 2008 Sandy Soto Teich.

Not Swanning About In My Kitchen All The Livelong Day. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Go-to cookie: the Anzac biscuit. Much, much easier than pie. When I was in Australia, I sort of ignored Anzac biscuits. They were too plain-Jane, too ubiquitous, and I was on a quest for the rare and strange: vanilla and anise checkerboard ice cream in an edible cellophane frame, passionfruit mousse and curd. 2/3 cup all purpose flour. 2/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats (DO NOT use instant oatmeal - quick oats are OK, but o...

Not Swanning About In My Kitchen All The Livelong Day. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Not a trifling matter. Cheater, cheater, cheater! Trifle is the most divisive of desserts. Well, that and tiramisu - everyone loves it, I hate it with a seething hatred. Tiramisu is the Rachael Ray of the dessert world. But I stop short of extreme re-enactments. All of this is to say I've made dozens and dozens of trifles in my day, even aberrant ones like an all chocolate trifle (bleah! And the Italian zuppa di Inglese.

Not Swanning About In My Kitchen All The Livelong Day. Tuesday, January 8, 2008. Cake and photograph by Zachary. No recipe this time, just a simple request: learn how to cook! Teach your kids how to cook. It's so much fun you won't believe it. Making this cake with my nephew was one of the best times I've had within recent memory. Okay, so he's inordinately fascinated by Ace of Cakes. Try something like this yourself one day. You'll have so. Oh, and happy 2008, everyone. 169; 2008 Sandy Soto Teich.
