    Lunch 2025

    Some sausage nibbles with a mustard dip for starters. Followed by tortellini with a lamb, eggplant ragu. A little clean out the fridge day.
  2. A small tart with raspberries three ways, Raspberry jam was spread on the bottom of the crust prior to placing on the tightly packed raspberries . These were dusted with raspberry confectionery sugar, tart was baked and then lightly brushed with clementine jam.

    Lunch 2025

    Lamb patty with just enough hot sausage for a little mouth tingling.Griddled both the patty ( onions, garlic, green herbs, mustard, etc.) and the sourdough bread. The sourdough got a swipe of tapenade, the patty got some melted Gouda. Topped with tomatoes and snippets of chervil, lunch was served.
  4. They might have to be polarized sunglasses! An abundance of pulverized freeze dried raspberries added to confectionery sugar does the trick, same for freeze dried strawberries, I imagine blueberries would be absolutely startling!
  5. Sunglasses required for these cupcakes! Freeze dried raspberries were the basis of the frosting and the cupcakes were Intensely flavored. The cupcake itself was originally vanilla flavored but I used a tablespoon of uncooked lemon jam which gave a big hit of lemon to the cupcakes. Four were plenty!

    Thank you, red cabbage is a good looker! An unusual combo but quite tasty.

    Lunch 2025

    Spanish tortilla, homemade mayo, caviar. i Ice cream three ways, sour cream/ lemon, peach and banana.
  12. @FrogPrincesse Happy to hear you are enjoying it and found a good use for your marmalade. i use White Lily self rising flour added to the FP in two parts after everything else has been well processed. ETA. …I also made some orange sugar with the peel/zest of an orange for the cake.
  13. @FrogPrincesse Here’s a crumb shot, it’s very fine textured, thin crust and because it’s so good this way, I have never made it with butter. I make it entirely in the food processor. i imagine it would be very good using butter and as written by Roddy, that is how it was made, I hope you try it either way! I warm up some jam, add a little liqueur of choice and brush it on the outside of the cake, then sprinkle with confectionery sugar.
  14. Clementine Olive Oil cake, a favorite in this household. Adapted and inspired by Rachel Roddy’s Marmalade Cake, I used Clementine jam in the cake rather than marmalade. This is a fine textured cake with a thin crust, it has gone through many adaptations and survived them all. From fruits to nuts, this cake handles all with aplomb.

    @pastameshugana The recipe I use is from the King Arthur Flour website. I follow it without deviation, the only exception for the petit popovers is a slightly lower temperature from the standard size. I make a small slit on the side to let any excess steam release at the finish of baking. Half of the recipe makes 9-10 of the petit popovers. The King Arthur site also gives instructions for using muffin tins in addition to popover pans.

    @pastameshugana Thank you, I also like to fill them with savory options, they are nice and crisp and hold up well.

    Lunch 2025

    Tortellini en brodo, with zucchini, tomato and diced chicken . House made chicken broth in the instantpot, grated Parmesan on top.
  18. It’s a mario batali recipe called savory lemon jam as he adds oregano/thyme to it. This is a sweetened version which I think you should be able to google it, I don’t have a link. It’s delicious, especially with Meyer lemons.
  19. @Tropicalsenior No, I don’t sweeten it, just a little salt. I have always had good look using the King Arthur recipe. I made half the recipe which yields 9 in the petit pan. I think I prefer my yogurt unsweetened tho’, the jam swiped one was excellent.

    Lunch 2025

    Lunch yesterday was strozzapreti with almost marinara sauce as I added a crumbled piece of meatloaf to it just prior to serving. Topped with freshly made ricotta, pecorino, basil and a generous splash of Portuguese evoo. Petit popovers for dessert filled with lightly sweetened yogurt and berries.
  21. Petit popovers and berries. The first has lightly sweetened yogurt, vanilla and the berries. The second has a swipe of fresh, uncooked Clementine jam, berries and a couple of dollops of yogurt.
  22. A crumb shot of the above cakes with gently warmed blackberries and sour cream.
  23. Almond frangipane cakelets with blackberries. These were served with a blackberry coulis. They have a fine textured crumb with a thin, crisp crust.

    Breakfast 2025

    Baking powder biscuit, sweetened ricotta, blueberry jam and fresh lemon jam. And he had buttermilk pancakes, maple syrup/butter and blueberry jam
  25. @JoNorvelleWalker I find it faster, in a one quart bowl it’s easy to clean. I have made the two cup version as well, that of course, takes longer. ETA…I use an immersion blender in the bowl, during and after . @rotuts And here’s the candied pecan version, good, but not better than the pistachio version 😂!
