  1. emmalish-beautiful pics!

    Kim-can't wait to see food pics of your NOLA trip...

    Prawncrackers-the fig tart is gorgeous!

    First time using the grill since fall. Grilled asparagus, grilled steak on a bed of spinach and leeks in gorgonzola sauce with a side of farro with bacon and dates.

  2. After years, I finally got around to trying the Todd English White Chocolate Challah Bread Pudding recipe. Topped with raspberry sauce and berries.

    P.S. Anyone know how to resize a photo so it doesn't look like the bread pudding that swallowed the world?

  3. I've also rotated the photo 180 degrees to make it look like less of a face with the lemons as the eyes ...

    LOL!

    Dinner here was a carmelized onion, gruyere and roasted cauliflower tart.

    Served with a tangle of arugula dressed with olive oil and lemon.

  4. Post "Snowicane" we needed some comfort food. I tried Marcella Hazan's Beef Roasted with Onions. Could not be more simple. You poke bacon and garlic into little slits made all over the brisket and roast on a bed of bacon and onions.

    You are left with a delicious bacon, onion jam in the bottom of the pot to ladle over the sliced brisket.

  5. This is brilliant!!

    Regarding ideas for using the various foods discovered in the freezer:

    Whenever I come across a recipe online (often in this forum) for a recipe that includes an item that I know I have in the freezer, I immediately print it out and place it in a Ziplock bag with that item and leave in the freezer.

  6. I've missed you, dinner thread. Had the time this morning to catch up on 3 months of your inspired dinners, everyone. Gorgeous!

    I have started something with my kids (ages 5 & 7). They each pick the dinner menu one night per week. They are responsible for writing the shopping list, including a vegetable :shock: and doing any prep they are capable of. Here are some of their recent dinners:

    INDONESIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

    PARMESAN ROASTED BROCCOLI

    SOLE MEUNIERE W/CONFETTI CORN

    CHICKEN PAILLARDS W/CLEMENTINE, AVOCADO & SCALLION SALSA

  7. Great ideas, all. I'm doing a salad with blood oranges during the meal and chorizo caramel lollipops as an appetizer course. That may knock out the candied bacon and orange/clementine ideas. I'm thinking the golden raisins hydrated with verjus or dried cherries hydrated with spices, sugar and port or the reduced spicy red wine pear poaching liquid. They might hit an element I'm missing. That sort of goes along with my recent Spotted Pig mulled wine obsession! :wub:

    Thanks for all the inspiration, keep it coming!

  8. I am cooking for a Spanish themed dinner party and for dessert we are doing an adult "Compose Your Own Sundae" bar. I'm looking for ideas for creative toppings...

    Current ideas are:

    Cinnamon Chile Fudge Sauce

    Dulce de Leche

    Almond Brittle

    Spicy Candied Pecans

    Reduced Balsamic Syrup

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Don't ask me how to pronounce this, but this was the most tender pork tenderloin I have ever eaten with a fabulous mustard sauce.

    Thanks for posting this. I made this the other night and the sauce was delicious. My husband is coming up with different ways to use the leftover sauce.

    I too made it and it was indeed tasty. Thanks for posting!

    I made it as well for Easter. Thumbs up! I also made a savory onion and gruyere bread pudding which I can recommend. Kim's French Onion Bread Pudding

  10. At the risk of being redundant, I want to LAVISH praise upon the Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli recipe.  This is like the definition of a recipe that rocks - fast, easy, unfussy, dirties just one pan and one bowl, and totally delicious.  If you weren't convinced already, go and make it now!

    Emily & dividend-so glad you liked it! I have another quick and delicious recipe recommendation for you. It's from Nigel Slater: Pasta With Sausage, Basil & Mustard

  11. I actually have that pan and it works quite well.  But I've never seen one with a removable bottom.  I have a mini cheese cake pan with a removable bottom though.

    Marlene,

    That's good to know that pan works for you. I may buy it. I currently have individual stainless steel molds that are a nightmare to use! My crusts always stick.

  12. I'm trying to find a non-stick mini tartlette pan with removable bottoms. Something that can make 12 mini tart shells at once. Similar to this but with removable bottoms:

    Tartlette Pan

    Does such a thing exist? I can't find anything on the web.

  13. Mrs. C and grandma collaborated on a delicious salad – spinach, shredded carrots, lingonberry-soaked apples, walnuts, and blue cheese, tossed with raspberry vinaigrette.
