Adventures in cooking and baking.
This easy sourdough breakfast bread is great for slicing and toasting, making French toast, and topping with fresh avocado and tomatoes.
If you have an active sourdough starter, you can make this bread, from start to finish, in just about half a day. It's hard to predict the actual timing because there are variables such as room temperature, humidity, and the flour you are using. However, if you start mixing the dough in the morning, you should have a wonderful loaf of bread by the afternoon.
This spicy slaw with red cabbage and mango is crunchy and flavorful, and the mango adds a wonderful sweetness to this salad.
This slaw is refreshing and perfect for serving with grilled steaks, pork chops, short ribs, or spare ribs. You can also serve it with a sandwich for a light lunch.
These Frosted Cake Cookies are soft and chocolatey and topped with a fluffy vanilla frosting and pretty rainbow sprinkles.
The cookies are soft and cake-like, and are loaded with mini chocolate chips. The American-style buttercream frosting is light and fluffy, and is a great vehicle for your favorite sprinkles, especially if you are celebrating someone's birthday.
These Genoise Madeleines are made with a traditional sponge cake batter and are baked in a pan with scallop-shaped cavities. They are perfect little tea cakes just right for dipping.
These cakes are light and airy, but pretty sturdy at the same time. They are made with the same batter you might use to make lady fingers or little sponge cakes for shortcakes.
This cauliflower quiche, with caramelized onions, pancetta, and Gruyère, is one of my favorite takes on quiche, the classic savory egg custard pie.
I just took a quick count and realized this is my tenth quiche recipe that I've posted. Clearly, I love quiches, including ones with smoked salmon, zucchini and onion, and ham and asparagus. I also love mini quiches to serve as appetizers, such as quiche lorraine, shrimp, pancetta and asparagus, and bacon, leek, and cheddar. I've even baked a cheesy vegetable quiche in the air fryer.
Tabatière, or Snuff Box Bread, is a flavorful loaf of bread that gets its name because if looks like a snuff box with a lid. In France, tabatière actually means "snuff box."
I am making this bread with the Bread Baking Babes and our host kitchen is Cathy of Bread Experience. She adapted this bread recipe from the book, The Larousse Book of Bread by Eric Kayser.
This potato salad uses a mixture of white, red, and purple mini potatoes. Add an array of vegetables and Japanese-style flavors for a fabulous potato salad.
I've made Japanese-style potato salad, including one with ham and Yukon Gold potatoes, and one where you can make your own Japanese-style mayo.
