Pickwick Baking Co.: Chocolate
http://pickwickbakingco.blogspot.com/2011/10/chocolate.html
Each week, at school, we attend a lecture seminar. Some of them are very practical (knife skills, ServSafe), others are practical and. Chocolate is a very VERY interesting beast. My friend Erin recently asked me to tell her my favorite kind of chocolate to use in baking (specifically in something like the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Ok, let me stop here and give you a run through of how chocolate is processed, from bean to bar. Finally, the chocolate liquor is is tempered to create what's called the ...

One of the most surprising discoveries I've made in my culinary school adventure, and the resulting baking I get to do for my clients, is that I LOVE cake decorating (I really didn't think I would)(no really, I'm being honest here). I'm a lucky girl to know Sarah over at Lil Hoot. Because she's as creative as she is fun, and often when we work together I get emails with pictures of GORGEOUS cakes- I'm talking real stunners. I like this- thoughts? For Lil Hoot's Lil C). For Sugar on Top). I'm going for it...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Don't be a Robot.". One recipe called for two teaspoons of baking soda. That's.a lot of baking soda. But I rolled with it because the collection of recipes I found all called for a full cup of pumpkin puree. That's a lot of pumpkin puree. So I thought, I don't know, maybe I need all that baking soda to lift all that pumpkin? They tasted great, but the texture was a problem. I cut the baking soda in half. One teaspoon turned out to be a perfect amount. With these changes, t...

Sage and Butternut Squash Crêpes with Spiced Mascarpone and Honeyed Brown Butter. We were given an assignment this week at school to write an original recipe using a (lesser known) fruit, an herb and a spice. Because it's Fall and I'm in harvest mode, I chose butternut squash (it's a fruit! And sage pairs well with butternut, so.fresh sage it is. Then to compliment the earthy-sweet flavors, I made a cardamom mascarpone filling for the crêpes, and a honeyed brown butter sauce. 1 1/2 ounces flour. Place th...

Michelle and Robby - 8-16-14. I arrived at darling Michelle's home just an hour before the big event. There she was, barefoot and beautiful huddled with her mama, just about to put her white dress on. Her sweet sister and brother's lovely girlfriend's hands joined her mother's delicate touch to make light work of the beautiful and and bountiful buttons down the delicate white lace of this stunning gown. Patience, humor, double vision. And then. wow! No looking back now. MICHELLE and ROBBY WED! And after ...

House of Her: June 2011

Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Is your Thumb Black [like mine]? My thumb is black. So, if you're like me and that short, slightly fatter finger on each of your hands is not-so-very-green, then you should heed this advice. Carefully. Do you know what this takes? LITTLE [to no] INTERFERENCE. Here's what I decided to do. I canned the window boxes [although this breaks my heart just a little] and I bought two gorgeous, full hangers for the front steps. Exhibit B and C. I've made a decision. when I'm at the sto...
