How To Make A Contemporary Drapery

Tatin fennel brioche dough, super fast

Remember I spoke last week, I had imagined returning from a small backyard of the wonders which I picked up a basket organic, but this pretty tart has been a long time to arrive on my plate. Is that the return has been there and signed the end of my brief return on this blog ... I at least enjoyed some days well greedy :-) This does not mean there will be more next time, just that the time would fail me to share them.

So I had planned to make a tart tatin with my little fennel. I remembered vaguely have already prepared and, after recovered, I decided to limit the number of flavors. Being a bit too pressed, I thought to express brioche dough I heard about (and even a taste I think) La Belle au Blé Dormant, I did not need to look very long and that's exactly what I needed! The result also was consistent with my expectations and I will certainly not forget this paste on days when time goes decidedly too fast!

While the fennel to the pan gently browns with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey and a little soy sauce, prepare the dough: Beat 1 egg with 1 plain yogurt (100g cottage cheese in the original recipe ), add a pinch of salt, some herbs de Provence, 75g wholemeal flour, 25g of white flour and 1 / 2 packet of yeast. Mix well, prepare a dish pie pan or miss in the lining with parchment paper. Sprinkle the paper with pine nuts, pour the caramelized fennel top and add the batter, smoothing with a spoon to fill the holes. Bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes, after this time, unmold on a dish and serve. That is already ready and delicious!

Two Days Before Period

My first pretzels!

What's good to be on vacation, at home alone more importantly, with the main occupation "do what we like! So I reinvested my kitchen a little more or less abandoned and I rediscovered the pleasure of feeding this little blog ...
It's obvious I'm less busy huh?! It will not last but who cares ;-)

Lately, I ogled here regularly telling me, without really believing that even if it would be nice to try a day.
And then Tuesday, I bought some fresh yeast, I printed the recipe yesterday and this morning I had breakfast with the recipe in front ... After taking my cat to the vet for his vaccines, I was thinking of going to the hairdresser but there was too much waiting for my liking ...
While returning, without thinking, I pulled out a large bowl, my square of yeast, flour and, without asking more questions, I started! And well I can only say one thing: I can not believe how easy it is!
Like what, you get a mountain of no great thing sometimes, and once we took the leap, one wonders what we feared ... Hey, it's like giving blood , the first time, despite my determination, I was not very reassured and then finally, it's been 10 years and I give these few minutes are really not much by vital need to report that recipients have ... No, it has nothing to do with the pretzels I grant you, but I had time to go for an hour and a half during which my dough rose ... no time to be lost and so I do a little advertising, it's so important!

But back to our pretzels ...
I followed the recipe exactly Sandra, finally, at least since I modified the procedure some ingredients ...
I resume the ingredients with my edits in brackets and let you see the process from Sandra!

pretzels for 8 to 10:
  • 650g flour T65 (T45 500g + 150g wholemeal rye)
  • 2 teaspoons instant dry yeast (20g fresh yeast)
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (1cuillère coffee with honey)
  • 60g soft butter or margarine (50g olive oil)
  • 180ml warm water
  • 200ml milk (or soy milk) at room temperature or warmed
Bath Poaching
  • 2.5 liters of water
  • 100g sodium bicarbonate
1 egg yolk, salt, sesame seeds, poppy ...

I followed the procedure having my fresh yeast previously dissolved in some water (100ml) and milk (100ml) of honey added. I added this mixture along with olive oil and remaining water and milk and it was perfect!
I extended the cooking time, 20 minutes rather than the 14 recommended that were not enough for my oven. I stretch my dough a bit more next time for pretzels a little less plump and finer, better respect the traditional form, but otherwise nothing to change about the recipe!

Finally, a simple and quick recipe (one rose from 1 hour to 1:30, much shorter than kugelhopf example!) That allows you to enjoy delicious pretzels, bagels or by chosen form, homemade, all fresh, all hot, all soft! Thank

Sandra, for this gold mine that is your Petrin, for this great recipe for me and unwittingly helped plunge pretzels!

Can I Eat Quaker Oats With Cold Milk

Panierbio-sitting and the salad that followed ...

There was baby-sitting, the cat & dog sitting, and Anne Charline invented the blog-sitting and me, I inaugurate this week panierbio-sitting. And it's a great concept ;-) friends on holiday and you go for organic their basket, with leave to enjoy all the good things it contains. The basket the following week, you keep it carefully in the fridge so they can enjoy the good vegetables on their return from holiday! It is not that wonderful? "
Tonight I had the joy of harvest:
- 12 eggs
- 8 small leeks
- 6 beautiful fennel bulbs
- 2 peppers, 1 green and 1 purple
- 2 cucumbers
- 2
beetroot - 1 part carrots
- 1 scoop of potatoes
- 2 measures tomato
- 2 sprigs mint
- 2 flowers
Returning with my treasure, while my legs pedaled slowly, my brain imagined a beautiful and delicious tatin of fennel. But it will be tomorrow, I returned a little later tonight and I preferred to compose a nice little salad fresh, colorful and full of flavor!

I grated a small beet (raw is so good!) With a nice carrot, cut a small fennel bulb into very small cubes, added 250 grams of chickpeas, mint leaves, a clove of minced garlic, a little mixture of herbs "special salad", a balsamic vinaigrette, walnut oil, mixed everything together and served between slices of tomato and slices of cucumber.
Simple, fresh, delicious, light, a nice dinner!
Thanks again for this beautiful basket o)

Sority Initiation Dress

Sweet tender and nostalgic for KKVKVK # 26

Ah, that famous Kiki, it's been a long time since I lost the thread of his story!
I had met with Linzertorte at its 8th edition and lost sight just after the revolution buns who celebrated his 16th adventure. He introduced me, among others ravioli, a delicious cheesecake and fabulous Sachertorte ...
Today, it gives me great pleasure to cross his path again and enjoy his passage through Little Miss Audrey kitchen to make delicious muffins, a very nice theme. Especially when I opened my mold madeleine, I did not leave the cupboard too long! An oversight now fixed!

I do not innovate much, I remain faithful to my favorite perfumes, first lemon and chocolate, here associated with pistachio ...

Madeleines lemon-ginger-sesame

Ingredients for twenty madeleines:
-
2 eggs - 75g brown sugar
-
120g flour - 1 / 2 packet of yeast
- 1 pinch of salt
-
25g melted butter - 3 tablespoons olive oil
- zest and juice of half a lemon
- 1 small piece ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (+ some pinches for garnish)

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar then add the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt, mix well. Mix together olive oil, zest and lemon juice, ginger and sesame seeds until a fine emulsion, without lumps. Add this emulsion to the paste and mix well. The dough is very smooth, slightly thick.
Fill madeleine pans, sprinkle with sesame seeds and leave them in the fridge at least half an hour.

Preheat oven to 210 degrees, bake the madeleines at this temperature and then, after 5 minutes, reduce to 180 degrees and cook another 10 minutes. At the end of cooking, let madeleines cool in the oven ajar before turning out onto a rack.
This process involves a thermal shock (from the dough from the fridge in a hot oven) normally provides nice bump, which was not really the case for me this time.

Madeleines pistachio - chocolate

Ingredients for each flavor:
-
1 egg - 30g brown sugar
-
60g flour - 1 teaspoon baking
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon of pistachio paste (for flavor pistachio)
- 30g dark chocolate (for chocolate flavor)

Proceed as described above for lemon madeleines adding to the dough mixed with natural oil pistachio paste or chocolate flavor chosen by . I did not add butter, chocolate and pistachio paste providing additional fat.
Fill madeleine molds with a little dough for each of the two fragrances marbled madeleines. Let stand in refrigerator and use the cooking method described above.

Worksheets On Persuasive Writing

A return lemon, yellow, green and a touch of ginger p'tite

And yes, I'm back after a long, long absence, that either have not filled my two acolytes. Some may wonder if it's a real return (yes there are still those who remember this little pot, I know ;-), I answer honestly that I do not know and I would even say that I think not. I just want to celebrate my first day of vacation with a little sweet tart. Envy also try these little lemon squares that we no longer and that even during my period of intensive kitchen, I had not tested.

In general, rather than to turn my chocolate cravings for sweets but this time I think I let myself be influenced by Flo and lemon avalanche. Because yes, although I have abandoned this little blog for a while, I remain a faithful reader of some of you, at least in my "contemporaries" because I admit being a little lost face to all newcomers every day that enrich the culinary blogosphere.

But enough chatter, let us return to our small squares.
I took the original recipe by modifying a little, not having tasted it I can not compare, but I can tell you that it is a true delight! It could perhaps be improved somewhat by adding sesame seeds to paste a small crisp note.

For the dough:
- 100g butter at room temperature
-
40g icing sugar - 100g flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 50g ground almonds

For the lemon cream:
- 3 eggs
- 125g brown sugar
- 125ml lemon juice (for me the juice of one lime and one lemon and half)
- 2 tablespoon lemon zest (zest from green and 1 / 2 yellow)
- 1 piece of ginger (+ / - Close to taste)

Prepare the dough: Whisk the butter and sugar until obtaining a uniform and smooth cream, then stir the mixture of flour, cornstarch and almond powder. Roll out the dough (it is very soft and sticky) into a square pan or parchment paper and smooth it well. Bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
Prepare the cream: mix the lemon juice with the zest and ginger cut into small pieces. In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs with brown sugar, once the mixture starts to foam a little, add the lemon juice and ginger and mix well.
Pour lemon over batter and bake still hot for 20 minutes, still at 180 degrees. The cream should be firm at the end of cooking.
Cool completely before cutting into squares and sprinkle with icing sugar.
Refrigerate in an airtight container.

I'm a fan of the flavor of ginger combined with lemon and little squares have completely met my requirements (in fact, the juice obtained by mixing lemon juice with zest and ginger is worth it its own).

Fan lemon ginger I said then, but an even bigger fan of chocolate ...
... and by chance this morning while shopping in a supermarket where I'm going about once a year (in order to buy the few articles sometimes I need and I do not mean in my usual area), I lingered at radius chocolate (it does not remake! I was looking for the famous chilli chocolate I love so much and I have not had the opportunity to enjoy for several months, in fact there were none ...) and I came across a dark chocolate with lemon and ginger crystals! the dream! Immediately tasted and approved! Without wishing to pub but if you have the same addiction as me and you avoid searching for too long, Cote d'Or the fact that ...

Spelt Cookies with walnuts and maple syrup, asparagus and goat cheese tartlets

And yes, after my two co- bloggers , My turn to come back here! Maybe not so strong as before, my desire to cook and to discover new flavors by myself not quite back ... But a little bit from time to time, why not!
For this return after 6 months of absence I offer you some delicious cookies are perfect to accompany a good flavored tea, watching the rain fall from the window (snow is even better but it is the means of edge o).
By cons, my usual ride is temporarily left with her owner, I have no photos to show you ... therefore you just imagine them (before of them of course, I guarantee you they are worth the trip!)

For 24 cookies:
- 50g salted butter at room temperature
-
75g brown sugar - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
-
1 egg - 2 tablespoons milk
- 150g Spelt flour (complete for me)
- 1 pinch bicarbonte
- 1 pinch of salt (not necessary with salted butter but I like the taste salty cookies)
- 50g chopped walnuts (finely enough, keeping a few pieces)

Stir sugar and maple syrup butter for a creamy and smooth. Add egg and milk and mix well. Incoporer remaining ingredients until dough is thick enough.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, divide the dough into small piles on the size of a walnut, spacing them well. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Cookies must be just fair, yet soft enough not to get too hard on cooling. Cool on a rack and ... eat!

How Do You Get Membership On Lpso For Free

tearing everything

Good going've decided I also wake up and I start to post on this blog as Pimousse ...
can not say I'm super productive in the kitchen these days, m'enfin same time I still eat at every meal and I'm not a pro in the tin ...

Taking a sudden urge the other day, I cooked tarts I wanted super balanced "but good anyway because still not be abused! Yes, I know the 2 does not object far away, but I like to style I eat anyway, hehe ;-) Anyway I wanted
tarts to open 2 of my latest investment: tart molds (logic) and a bento box (which you will not see because I completely forgot to take her picture, which is as Balot would say). While these two items show how weak I am the face of kitchen accessories that are useless, but this is only a very thin sample of that litter all over my too-small-kitchen-ill-organized!



Tartlets with asparagus and goat cheese

For the dough, I'm part of this recipe blog Urban Delight, except that I did with a shoestring gift I zapped the seeds and herbs (but it was very good anyway).

For the rest:
- a small jar of asparagus cut into small chunks (Yes asparagus season is not really as Ruc)
-
2 eggs - half of a goat cheese type
Little Billy - a pinch of salt (no pepper because, sorry, I don ' t like it ....)
- a chouille sweet pepper (yes, I like it, do not try to understand) You know

make pies, tarts bin is easy it's the same in smaller ...

With these quantities, I got 10 tarts: 2 for my bento that had nothing to Japanese trim level, 2 for my boyfriend who also need to eat for the rest of my freezer for days to feignasserie Coming soon ...
I not tell you how I almost brag leaving my lunch anyway because I just had the right to a "you eat it?" scrogneugneu!

Jay Mohr As Christopher Walken On Snl

2008 new resolutions culinary pimoussiennes

I decided to re-enter and again to share my ideas in the kitchen.
Many things have happened since my last post on Popotte Mania, luckily my friends bloggers I have not been released. This is discussed again with one of her (péquelette) yesterday evening around a chocolate fondue suited to dairy allergies, that energy came back to reveal my little secret, my experiments, my inspirations , my desires ........ Since
Rennes, my kitchen was put in an ellipsis. Today, new horizons open to me because my diet is seen to change. X and Y reasons, the first is to try to get closer to a healthy diet, organic and vegetarian almost like I always wanted, the second reason is based on health problems (psoriatic, asthma) that began to accumulate and make us aware that homeopathic treatment should always be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle and therefore a balanced diet and vigilance with regard to certain products including those derived from milk.
Many are aware that for better digestion and future problems with allergies, milk, cheese, yoghurt, cream etc. ... should be proscribed not stop ... I will not ask about the issue, this is not the idea here.
All I will share with you is wonderful recipes to learn how to replace dairy in your daily life, and also help me take good care ;-)

So we go for a nice adventure, my first recipe is a delicious soup, extremely simple and very seasonal (autumn-winter):

"Popotte Navegantes and Couret"

You'll understand that small pun on the two main ingredients in my soup:
- 1kg turnips
- 1kg butternut squash
700 - 2 tablespoons cream of cashew
- 1 large tablespoon of curry powder


Peel squash and turnips are cut into small cubes 2-3 cm. Boil in a pot a little water (equivalent to a large glass) with 1 tablespoon of salt. Y
throw the diced vegetables and cook until squash is tender.
Mix with 2 tablespoons of cashew cream and 1 tablespoon curry powder, then return to the heat for 5 min to dilute the cashew cream. Serve with
a nice green salad and sprouted seeds, seasoned with a sauce of balsamic vinegar / olive oil and a mixture of wheat germ, gomasio. Bon appetite
