Arctic Queen Nectarine Galette

Posted by Claudine

3-ingredient galette

In my quest for fast and easy desserts, I loved stumbling upon this amazing 3-ingredient recipe for a fruit galette, posted by Smith and Ratliff on Marcus Samuelsson's blog.

As I'd mentioned before, I often tend to focus on the savoury, giving short shrift to sweet things. In my family my mom and I were the cooks, my little sister (with the sweet tooth, naturally), the baker. But DD has that sweet tooth, and less of an inclination to bake, and is more like to coerce me into emerging into the dark streets in our pyjamas, in search of dessert. We luckily live by a great Gelato shoppe a scant 1/2 block away and a cafe that offers crispy waffle bits and Bi-Rite ice cream catty-corner to the Gelato shoppe.

But with this recipe there's really no excuse to not make dessert at home.

Honey Lavender Panna Cotta

Posted by Claudine

Easier than Pie

I’ve probably mentioned this before - baking/ baked goods and desserts of all kinds get short shrift at our house. If given a choice between making something savory or something sweet, I almost always will choose the savory appetizer, entree, vegetable side dish, etc.

But of late I’ve been trying my hand at after-dinner treats more - DD’s sweet tooth demands it. So - to avoid the late night forays to Holy Gelato in our pyjamas, I’ve been making panna cotta. I didn’t realize how easy it could be until I tried making my first batch, using David Lebovitz’s recipe for a vanilla version here.

Strawberry Season

Strawberries, Balsamic and Cream

We seldom make dessert at home. I'm not a baker, and would rather prefer to spend my time cooking up savouries rather than sweet things. But the husband has a sweet tooth, and this has helped us get creative with some quick-to-make items that can easily satisfy that after-dinner craving.

Reid’s Bread Pudding

Posted by Claudine

This is my attempt at Reid's (of 'Ono Kine Grindz) yummy bread pudding, posted last week. Reid's recipe makes the pudding more custardy, but I wanted mine with a little more bread.
