Daring Bakers July Challenge: Strawberry Mirror Cake!
2007-07-30 14:59:00
*UPDATED WITH HOW-TO PICTURES* I must admit, I had a lot of fun with this one. I have always loved light creamy desserts ones which the dessert?s beauty matches its taste! But as I am a novice baker, this is something I would have never attempted on my own ? I always thought it was too hard, too time consuming and just plain too annoying. So, in order to no longer have this excuse, I joined the Daring Bakers in June. I wanted to make sure that I learned how to bake, to really learn so I would know once and for all if my feelings about baking were actually based in truth, or if it was something I was just assuming. Now that I have joined and completed two challenges, I must say that baking is not really as god-awful as I thought! I have realized that I am not a big fan of baking breads as I do not enjoy the sensation of kneading. However, whipping eggs and cream and sifting flour ? that is not so bad at all. I must say I get a real satisfaction out of seeing these creations come tog...

Recipe: Watermelon Two Ways!
2007-07-27 14:45:00
Watermelon is a big summertime treat! Cool and refreshing we enjoy it all summer long! Sometimes when you buy a huge watermelon it is hard to know what to do with the leftovers. Here are two great suggestions that are easy to make and oh so delicious - Watermelon Soda and Watermelon Granita. The first step gets you the soda; the next step gets you the granita. You can do this with any fruit ? cantaloupe is delicious and the next fruit I want to try it with is papaya, the king of all fruits (in my mind!). So cool off with these great treats! INGREDIENTS: Leftover fruit ? in this case watermelon. It is good to have about 4 cups of fruit. This will serve about 10 people one drink. Simple syrup ? to make simple syrup, please click this link ? use it to taste. I usually use ¼ cup to the 4 cups of fruit. Lime Juice ? I like to add a little tart-ness to my fruit sodas and ices ? I use the juice of ½ a lime for the mixture. Seltzer Water (this is only for the sodas) METHOD: In a food proc...

Recipe: Kheema a la Dharm
2007-07-25 14:50:00
My web buddy Dharm over at Dad ~ Baker & Chef sent me this recipe out of the kindness of his heart when he learned how I love eating curries, but had never really tackled one, from scratch in my kitchen. So in order to help me out and get me on my way, he sent me one of his favorite dishes that he modified from his Mum?s recipe, a childhood favorite of his - Kheema. He shared with me some of his culinary secrets and has agreed to allow me to share them with all of you! Thanks a million Dharm! I have to say I have always been intimidated to make curries at home. There are a lot of ingredients and spices that I normally don?t put together when making dishes and I guess I always worried that I wouldn?t create the right balance of spices and it wouldn?t turn out very good. However, with the help of a friend, you are able to branch out, get a culinary push and make a curry from scratch for your family. The family loved it and we agreed next time we will make a double batch because ...

Lorenzo?s Pizza and Pasta: Reliving My Childhood
2007-07-22 20:47:00
I wrote this piece for my Travel CloseUp Website, where I do restaurant reviews, but I felt it was also relevant to this website, so I decided to post it in both places. Something I don’t normally do. Hope you enjoy it. This is also my submission for the W is for Writing Challenge Jeff has put forth on C is for Cooking Isn?t it amazing how a taste of something can bring you back to the past? One minute you are sitting enjoying a sweet treat at the end of a pizza and pasta dinner wondering what your angle should be for yet another Italian restaurant review and in the next moment you are an eight year old child sitting in the Italian hall enjoying the same sweet treat with your Pap-Pap. Sometimes, it has been so long since you had that particular taste that you forgot that it even existed. In that same moment that you are tasting this long-forgotten delight, moments in your life you had also forgotten come flooding back ? now full of emotion because they had been forgotten for...

Food Musing: Recipes are Guidelines!
2007-07-20 14:53:00
Recipe: Grilled Tilapia with Grapefruit and Fennel Salsa, A Take on Giada?s Bikini Ready Menu So the other week I was watching Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis? show on the Food Network. Her theme was a bikini ready menu. Now I am always looking for fennel recipes, because Roberto loves it so much. So when I saw her begin to prepare a grapefruit and fennel salsa for fish I was intrigued. For some reason I have been on a huge grapefruit kick and I have been experimenting with it a little bit this summer ? putting vanilla yogurt on it for breakfast, sautéing it and drizzling honey on it for dessert, etc. So this looked like the perfect match up! But then she lost me. She used halibut steaks, which to me is one of the most bland, most uninspired fishes. I am into the fattier (good fat ? omega-3 fat ) fishes like salmon, mackerel, swordfish (that I wish I could eat if it weren?t chock full o? mercury and endangered), etc. So halibut just makes me want to cry, in a bad way. Plus Gi...

Recipe: Fresh Fig and Sage Grilled Pizza
2007-07-19 04:07:00
I saw a recipe for fresh fig pizza with blue cheese in Vegetarian Times years ago. I have a huge collection of recipes I have torn out of magazines and newspapers, printed from online, etc etc over the years. These are recipes that have given me inspiration on creating new flavors and dishes. Every time I move, which seems to have been quite a few times over these past few years, I go through the box and get rid of the ones I will never make or have lost their lustor. This recipe has stuck with me over the years and I finally decided to try my version of it. As you know from my recent post about figs, fresh figs are finally in season and so I have been eating quite a lot of them! Since Roberto is always looking for a good ITALIAN pizza crust - (no New York style crust, here)? to no avail yet in a restaurant, we have been trying to devise our own. The secret to a great Italian pizza crust is of course the high temperatures in which they are quickly cooked. So I decided to finish th...

Recipe: Fig Frenzy: Fresh Fig and Rocket Salad a la Sylvia
2007-07-17 03:53:00
Now if this is not mouth watering, I really don’t know what is. Have I mentioned how much I love figs? They are just so magnificent - They look like strange little pods from the outside, but when you open them up they are so lucious and delicate and gorgeous! They take my breath away! I love figs so much that to look at them in person makes my heart leap, my mouth water and my eyes to fill with tears?well at least that is what they did when I saw Sylvia?s Rocket Salad with Grilled Figs and Goat Cheese a few weeks back. That was when I was beginning to despair about ever finding fresh figs again! Since we moved to Florida, it has been like acclimating to everything ? the weather, the culture, the driving, and the availability of well-loved ingredients! I took for granted in the past the easy availability of certain favorite ingredients living in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast where there was always a plethora of ethnic markets, including Mediterranean. But having moved to Flori...

Recipe: Sunset Daiquiri
2007-07-15 18:41:00
Sometimes you have leftover alcohol and you feel the urge to create a nice unique cocktail. Such was the case this week. Summer is here in full blast and I was feeling a little fruity! I am not usually that much into frozen drinks ? brain freeze and all that, but on this day, I wanted something frozen, fruity and different. We had some leftover coconut rum from Easter and I decided to take a tour through the fridge and pantry to come up with a new drink! Another Leftover Queen classic move , but this time with a frozen cocktail drink - perfect for those steamy summer nights! This beautiful sunset colored drink is what was made. This is a great drink to surprise your guests at your next summer party or BBQ. INGREDIENTS: 3 shots coconut rum ¼ of a fresh papaya ¼ cup dried apricots ½ cup fresh or frozen mango ¼ cup canned pineapple 1 tsp honey 1tsp cinnamon 10 ice cubes the only thing I would have added if I had it was about ½ cup of unsweetened coconut milk ? the drink was a bit too ...

Recipe: Leftover Bagel Bread Pudding
2007-07-13 14:50:00
This is the leftovers from the last Daring Baker?s Challenge ? Bagels! I love bread pudding and I made several sweet versions of the bagel in addition to the ones I showcased for the challenge and stuck them in the freezer, so I figured what better way to use them up than by making some bread pudding! Happy Friday everyone and enjoy your weekend! INGREDIENTS: 4 cups of bagel pieces 3 ½ cups of whole milk ½ cup of caramel coffee creamer (didn?t have enough milk, so took a gamble with this and it was really good!) 3 eggs ½ cup melted butter 1 cup of sugar 1 c. shredded coconut ¾ cup chocolate chips 1 tsp pure vanilla extract METHOD: Butter a large baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place bagel pieces into baking dish, sprinkle with coconut and chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, coffee creamer, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and sugar. Once sugar has melted, pour custard over the bagel pieces and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immedia...

Recipe: Pistachio and Ricotta Stuffed Apricots
2007-07-12 15:01:00
Well I just couldn’t stay away for too long! When something monumentous happens in your life, you do a lot more cooking and eating during your celebrations! So I give you this wonderful little treat to check out while I am making my rounds to all of your beautiful blogs! Thank you so much to everyone for your support and well-wishes! We could not be happier over here! A while back I saw a delicious recipe for Pistachio Stuffed Nectarines that Susan at The Well-Seasoned Cook did. Roberto loves both nectarines and pistachios, so I knew I had to make this recipe, but it got a Leftover Queen Makeover! I didn?t have any cake hanging around so I substituted Ricotta cheese for it. I also had cottage cheese,which I am sure would work fine, but the ricotta cheese was older so I opted for that. I don?t really like orange extract so I chose vanilla instead. So good, I was all set. I started the process of halving the nectarines and wouldn?t you know it the pits just wouldn?t budge. S...

Recipe: Spinach Tagine with Lamb
2007-07-07 03:28:00
Tagine is a typical Moroccan dish that is cooked in a type of heavy clay pot which is also called Tagine. However, you do not need to purchase a new kitchen cookware item as you can also cook it in a baking dish by sautéing many of the ingredients before hand to create that tender falling off the bone meat experience. Lamb is a very common ingredient in Tagine, as is the cinnamon found in this dish. The result is something that is a cross between a stew and a custard or frittata. It is delicious, hearty and fragrant. Try it today, it is easy to make, but impressive to taste! (Recipe adapted from Reader?s Digest Mediterranean Cooking) INGREDIENTS: 3 TBS extra virgin olive oil 1 large package of fresh spinach 12 oz boneless lamb cut into small cubes 1 large onion finely chopped 1 cup chick peas 1 cup grated pecorino cheese 2 slices day old bread cut into small cubes 3 large eggs beaten 1 tsp ground cinnamon salt and black pepper to taste METHOD: Preheat oven to 350 F.

An Interview With The Leftover Queen
2007-07-05 21:14:00
Elly, over at Elly Says Opa! has interviewed me about food! This was really fun and I went with my instincts when answering, because if I think too long about food related questions my mind just starts going in too many directions! So here it is! I guess the deal is, if you want me to interview you, leave me a comment below and ask me to interview you! Thanks Elly! 1. When did you first start cooking, or realize how much you loved to cook? I started cooking as far back as I can remember. I was always in the kitchen helping my Nana and my mom. My mom worked and so I remember by the time I was 12 or so, I was sharing the cooking load with her and made full meal creations on my own. I was always trying to bake, which was always a problem for me! But I have always loved being in the kitchen, playing with food! 2. What would your perfect meal be? Don’t forget to include appetizers, sides and dessert! I really love small plates ? whether it is Mezze, Tapas, Antipasti, Sushi or wha...

Recipe: Fresh Summer Marinara and a Romantic Dinner For Two At Home!
2007-07-03 21:22:00
Roberto and I had a date at home this past week. We didn?t feel like going out, but it was date night, so we planned a nice dinner at home. You can create a wonderful atmosphere at home, especially during the summer when you can dine al fresco! When dining al fresco you usually want to eat something fresh as well! I have really been craving summer tomato sauce. Not that wonderful hearty, deep slow-cooked for 3 days and it still takes a few days in the fridge until it is at its peak kind sauce, but a quick, light summer tomato sauce that is fresh rather than complex. This is what we prepared together for our romantic at home date. This is a marinara recipe that you will keep forever as it is simple and so easy to make; you barely even have to be in the kitchen with it until the very end. This is the ultimate Summer Marinara and it is also my entry for Ruth?s Presto Pasta Nights over at Once Upon a Feast. INGREDIENTS: 4 medium vine tomatoes extra virgin olive oil sea salt and pepper...

Better Espresso Drinks Than Starbucks, At Home!
2007-07-02 21:23:00
Now doesn’t that look heavenly? That beautiful cloud of frothed milk sitting on top of luscious, deep dark espresso. I mean who doesn’t love espresso coffee drinks?!?! Well then check this out - I made this at home, this morning and I have one every single morning just like this - unless I am having a Greek style coffee frappe, which is a whole other adoring post of its own! I have this great little stovetop espresso machine and it makes better espresso drinks than Starbucks and I can have one whenever I want for FREE. I really do adore my caffettiera! I have always loved espresso drinks, whether they are lattes, cappuccinos, café au lait, café con leche, Cuban coffee, Turkish coffee, Greek coffee or just plain ?ol espresso. I always wished I could make them at home, as I don?t have a disposable coffee spending account. So a few months ago Roberto bought me this little beauty, a Bialetti Moka Express, 6 Cup and my life has never been the same! Now I can make my own esp...

Mediterranean Medley Recipe: Baklava Ice Cream Bites
2007-06-30 16:05:00
This dessert is the final installment to my Mediterranean Medley class I taught last week at The Culinaria which is inside Bakers & Cooks here in Ocala, FL. I developed this recipe to try to emulate the flavors of baklava without all the work involved and without all the sweetness. I know, I know, I love Baklava like the rest of you and I know that the sweetness is what really makes it, but I was looking for a way to introduce people who may not have had baklava to the flavors, or give those who enjoy baklava another take on it. Plus, who doesn?t love ice cream?! Those little banana bites I did a while back were so cute I just wanted to keep the theme of bite sized goodies that are so flavorful and delicious you only need a bite to feel satisfied! These are the perfect little dessert for a BBQ, movie or game night or anytime you feel a craving for a little something sweet! Also, here is a little reminder - if you would like to participate in the FIRST monthly Leftover Queen Foo...

My First Daring Bakers Challenge: BAGELS!
2007-06-27 13:00:00
Well everyone, I did it! I got through my first Daring Bakers Challenge and I am thrilled with the results. I am not sure bagels are something I would make from scratch again ? they are time consuming and so easy to buy, that I am not sure it is time efficient! But I am thrilled with the fact that I was up to the challenge and met it with creativity and fun! This month’s challenge, REAL HONEST JEWISH PURIST’S BAGELS was chosen by Freya and Jenny. Well my first challenge was not without its tragedies as baking for me generally is, but I was able to overcome them! The first hurdle was when I started the recipe and was proofing my yeast and realized that I did not have enough yeast. So I had to run out to the store for yeast and start all over again. Not much lost ? just 6 TBS of honey and some poor little yeast whose dream of being baked into bagels were crushed as they were un-ceremoniously dumped down the drain. Next tragedy was when I started boiling the bagels and the ...

Top Ten Ways To Get Traffic To Your Blog!
2007-06-26 00:56:00
I often get asked by people how they can create traffic to their blogs, get people to comment and really build their website. So I have decided to respond to these questions by writing a post about it! The key to building traffic, getting people to comment and therefore seeing the results in your blog?s potential is to NETWORK! Networking is the key to all businesses because if you can?t get people to come to your business or in this case, blog, then it will become stagnant. I am fairly new to blogging myself, starting my first blog Jenn?s Travel Closeup last summer. But since the winter this year I made it the number one priority in my life. Now I don?t expect that everyone has the desire or time to do this, but even so I do have a few tips to really get the BLOG ROLLING! 1) Join a Blog roll. There are tons of them out there based on different genres. When I started The Leftover Queen that was one of the first things I did. I looked for a blogroll for foodies so I could join. Bu...

Recipe: Fattoush Salad & Fairuz - Lovely Lebanese
2007-06-24 21:28:00
I have seen many variations of Fattoush Salad around the blogoshpehere as of late. It is no wonder, as Fattoush salad is one of those colorful, fresh, flavorful salads that pairs up so well with the summer season and foods of the summer. It is also one of my favorites. I am one of these people who never eats the same salad twice. Sometimes I have a common theme, but there is always something that gets tweaked along the way depending on what is in the fridge at the given moment. Salads are great for the Leftover Queen in all of us! I love variety of texture, taste and smell in my salads and almost more than any other dish, a salad has to be colorful! It has to represent all the beauty and bounty of the season. This is why I love Fattoush Salad. There are many varieties of this salad. Kind of like Stuffed Grape Leaves (which is probably why I paired them in a meal together!), there are as many varieties and as many methods as one can imagine. However, this is my favorite version. Sit ...

Recipe: Tunisian Carrot Salad with Harissa and Feta Cheese
2007-06-20 21:00:00
Last week..was it really last week? Maybe not, but anyway, I wrote about the Mediterranean Diet and its health benefits. I suggested a book: Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: A Delicious Alternative for Lifelong Health and just to illustrate how wonderful it is, with regularity I will be posting easy delicious, fresh recipes from the book for you to enjoy and cook at home. Who doesn?t have some extra carrots lying around, or a jar of olives. Or if you are like me, a jar of Harissa?.if you do, you can make this salad in minutes. The hardest part is waiting the ½ hour for the flavors to marry! This is an incredibly flavorful and delicious salad. With so many textures and tastes it is a symphony for your mouth. This kind of dish is what makes me fall in love with food all over again and makes me giddy with excitement upon eating it. All of my favorite things in one dish, sopped up with a warm pita bread and life just doesn?t get any better. Well, maybe it does if you add a nice glass of S...

Mediterranean Medley Recipe: Jenn?s Stuffed Grape Leaves with Tahini Sauce
2007-06-19 17:06:00
Okay guys, this is the second to last installment of my recipes for my Mediterranean Medley class, which will be held this Thurday night! What a way to kick off summer, eh? But do not fear, I have been signed on to teach 3 more classes - 2 in July and 1 already in August, with more to come. So I will be posting some of those recipes as I go along. This is the recipe for my version of stuffed grape leaves. I think this is the 2nd recipe that I ever created myself. Almost every country in the Mediterranean (minus Italy, Spain, France and Portugal - I think, correct me if I am wrong) have their own version of stuffed grape leaves. Some are served hot, some cold. Some are meat, some vegetarian. Some contain sweet elements like raisins or currants, some are mostly savory. So I created my own version based on what I enjoyed about the various kinds I had tried over the years. These grape leaves have had many incarnations, but this has been my tried and true version of them for the past se...

Recipe: Banana Ice Cream and Toasted Coconut Bites
2007-06-18 20:04:00
This is a wonderful dessert that is perfect for the summer weather we have been experiencing! You know those bananas that are almost brown and all you can think to do with them is make banana bread? Well here is another “cool” alternative! The best thing about this ?ice cream? is that it is 90% fresh banana which makes this an extremely healthy alternative to ice cream. Plus the bites themselves are so cute and inviting, that one or two is enough to satisfy you! I wish I could remember which blog I found the ?ice cream? recipe on. If you recognize this recipe please give me a shout so I can give you credit!!! However, I was inspired to turn them into bite sized confections rolled in toasted coconut. I recommend drizzling some hot fudge on top or perhaps some melted peanut butter AND chocolate to really make it special! This is a great treat with none of the guilt and all the flavor! INGREDIENTS: 1 cup shredded, sweet coconut 4 very ripe large bananas 1 cup unsweetened ...

Foodie Events Are FUN!
2007-06-17 17:41:00
There are so many wonderful things for Foodies to participate in on the web. So many events and contests to keep our creative juices flowing and to really keep us all on our toes! I have been so inspired by these kinds of events that I became part of the Daring Bakers and started my own Foodie Event, the Royal Foodie Joust! I came across one foodie event that a fellow Foodie Blogroll Member is doing! Jerry, the self-proclaimed Food Snob over at Cooking By The Seat Of My Pants is hosting an ongoing event called “Your Pantry or Mine?” I thought it was a very inventive idea, so I asked him some questions about it and his foodie lifestyle and he was kind enough to answer them. Here is the interview! 1) What inspired you to create this kind of food event? I have to admit, it is something I would have loved to have thought up, being the Leftover Queen and all! LOL! It stemmed from a challenge I made to an unnamed person who accused me of being a food snob. (He was partially...
