The High Heeled Contessa: Sole-Wrapped Asparagus with Tangerine Beurre Blanc
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2010/03/sole-wrapped-asparagus-with-tangerine.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Wednesday, 31 March 2010. Sole-Wrapped Asparagus with Tangerine Beurre Blanc. Well, I am back. Nearly 8 weeks ago I had my adorable son, Roark. He is a good baby, but nonetheless I've had my hands full and haven't had much time for cooking of late, but this week I started back at it. It feels good - I missed it! Don't be fooled by it's fancy name - this was easy and delicious. And it was delicious. This is easy enough to be a weeknight meal but looks fancy enough to serve fo...

The High Heeled Contessa: August 2009
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Saturday, 29 August 2009. Lemon Rasberry Ice Cream Bombes. I love a fun ice cream dessert for a dinner party. Almost everyone likes ice cream and they can be made well in advance, lightening the load the day of. I've made these lemon rasberry. A couple of times and they always get good reviews. Custard cups as the mold - they are inexpensive and are freezer. Safe but you could use ramekins or any other small, freezer safe bowls. Labels: 4.5 stars. Thursday, 27 August 2009. Food ...

The High Heeled Contessa: July 2009
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Wednesday, 29 July 2009. Chicken Enchiladas with Red Chili Sauce. I love making a big batch of enchiladas for dinner and then having something to bring for lunch all week - I think they taste best on the second day. I made these while we were on vacation and I have to admit they were a little mushy but I am going to blame that on the Canadian corn tortillas instead of this Cook's Illustrated recipe which I've made before with better luck. Tablespoons vegetable oil or corn oil.

The High Heeled Contessa: Lemon Pine Nut Torta
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2009/10/lemon-pine-nut-torta.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Monday, 19 October 2009. Lemon Pine Nut Torta. My fiend Jinny and her husband Rob have great pallets and impeccable taste. Jinny served this lemon pine nut torta. At one of their great dinner parties many years ago and it's become a personal favorite. It's not very sweet, which I think is sophisticated but may not be for everyone. I also like the twist of pine nuts in a dessert which you don't see too often. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lemon Pine Nut Torta.

The High Heeled Contessa: Pignoli Cookies
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2010/02/pignoli-cookies.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Tuesday, 2 February 2010. I am really into pine nuts right now - not sure if this is related to pregnancy or not but recently learned they are a superfood so now I have the perfect excuse to find all sorts of ways to incorporate them into recipes. One of my favorite pine nut recipes is a Lemon Pine Nut Torta. So when I came across this recipe for pignoli (pine nut) cookies in the Martha Stewart Cook Baking Handbook, I had to give it a try.

The High Heeled Contessa: Sticky Buns
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2010/04/sticky-buns.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Sunday, 4 April 2010. I decided to tackle the Sticky Buns. Recipe in the Martha Stewart Baking Handbook for Easter at the Pannoni's. They turned out great but they were A TON of work. It called for Danish Pastry and I was excited to try my hand at it, but it took pretty much all day to make - not much active time but 8 hours of total time. I am glad I tried making them, but really doubt I will make them ever again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). JWG, LHG and SEL.

The High Heeled Contessa: September 2009
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Tuesday, 29 September 2009. Photo credit: Jesse Pannoni. We save up our pennies and travel to Italy as often as we can (which isn't nearly enough these days). It was in Italy that we first experienced Torta della Nonna at one of our favorite Tuscan pizzarias, Da Michele in Radda. Torta della Nonna means Grandma's cake and each region in Italy has their own twist on this delicious dessert. In Seattle - they do a tasty version that is the next best option outside of Italy. It's ve...

The High Heeled Contessa: November 2009
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Friday, 27 November 2009. My friend Dave loves Banana Cream pie, so when it came time to tackle the Banana Cream Pie recipe in the Martha Stewart Baking Book, I decided to surprise Dave. While he was definately surprised and politely gushed over it, I don't think it was very good - the custard part was too gelatinous for me (not even going to post it! Labels: 1.5 stars. Tuesday, 10 November 2009. It was Guy Fawkes Night. Labels: 4.5 stars. Saturday, 7 November 2009. These days I...

The High Heeled Contessa. Monday, 26 October 2009. I am pregnant and my only real craving is fruit and fruit juice, so my oh so crafty and uber. Canning goddess sister was thoughtful enough to send me some canned fruit juice - ginger lime-aide, pomegranate. And grapefruit. The are delicious and totally hit the spot! Saturday, 24 October 2009. They were good.I think I still prefer Greg's lighter oven fries. Recipe, but these are a delicious and easy alternative. 5 tablespoons olive oil. 2 Working quickly,...

The High Heeled Contessa: April 2010
http://highheeledcontessa.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The High Heeled Contessa. Wednesday, 28 April 2010. I love popovers. They are soooo easy, tasty and far more interesting than any roll ever could be. The only bummer is you need a special pan but it is worth the investment and hassle. I used a recipe out of the Martha Stewart Baking Handboo. K,but I think pretty much all popover recipes are the same for the most part. Monday, 19 April 2010. I got these great Japanese cucumbers from Amazon Fres. Tuesday, 13 April 2010. She calls for canned beets (bleh!
