Cherry Clafoutis

Blossom Lady

Jul 31, 2020 08:08 AM

Cherry clafoutis is one of those homemade desserts baked with no specific reason as soon as cherries appears on the shelves at markets. It always has a great success, eaten warm or cold, served alone or with vanilla ice cream. Pronounced “cla-foo-TEE,” from a word meaning “to fill” in a regional French dialect, this easy farm-style French dessert is a cross between a cake and a jumbo fruit pancake or a filled popover, studded with black cherries. You just beat together a quick crêpe-like batter and pour e...

Belgian Leek and Goat Cheese Flamiche

Blossom Lady

Jul 28, 2020 04:33 AM

Today I’d like to tell you about Flamiche, a traditional Belgian dish. Well, frankly speaking, the origins of flamiche are disputable. Some say it hails from southern Belgium, while others claim that it is, in fact, a leek pie from northern France. Legend has it that a farmer’s wife from the small Village of Romedenne is responsible. She was walking down the rue Saint Jacques on her way to market when she slipped on an icy patch and broke all the eggs she was carrying. A quick-thinking baker managed to cat...

Pan Fried Garlic Prawns

Blossom Lady

Jul 25, 2020 07:36 AM

Here’s a no-fail way to enjoy succulent prawns with just a few minutes of work. I recommend buying frozen large shrimp rather than fresh. (“Prawns” and “shrimp,” by the way, are essentially synonyms: “shrimp” tends to be how they’re sold, and “prawns” is a nice way to refer to large shrimp when serving them.) Why? Because at most supermarket fish counters the shrimp are previously frozen anyway, and the quality of shrimp deteriorates the longer they sit after thawing. Buying good-quality shrimp from the fr...

Intensely Chocolate Brownie

Blossom Lady

Jul 24, 2020 12:43 AM

This is my absolute favorite brownie recipe. The brownie here is delicious, moist, and chocolaty, so you can cut it in small pieces and serve for a crowd (of kids, for example). And I guarantee you, that crowd will be pleased. Keep brownie for several days in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, and you can freeze it well too. Be sure to allow time to let the butter come to room temperature for about an hour before you start baking. Ingredients 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, plus a little extra fo...

Golden Skillet Potatoes With Pepper & Onions

Blossom Lady

Jul 23, 2020 08:24 AM

This classic method for making restaurant-style “home fries” involves several steps. First, you boil the potatoes. Then you drain them and brown them in a skillet. Then you sauté onions, and finally you bring it all together in the skillet. All this takes some time, but not a whole lot of work. And it’s worth it. If you follow this process, potatoes will be truly, divinely crisp—which, after all, is the whole point of fried potatoes. The best potatoes to use for home fries are waxy or medium st...

Summer Dessert: Classic Hot Fudge Sundae

Blossom Lady

Jul 22, 2020 01:05 AM

You’ll be amazed at the difference homemade hot fudge sauce and freshly whipped cream make. This sauce is absolutely amazing, just like the kind you get in an ice cream parlor and much better than the typical supermarket versions. It takes only about 5 minutes to make. So take the ice cream out of the freezer before you start, and by the time you’ve made the sauce and whipped the cream, the ice cream will be optimally soft and scoopable. Once you have everything ready, assemble the sundaes quickly so you c...

Old-fashioned Iceberg Wedges With Luxurious Blue Cheese Dressing

Blossom Lady

Jul 21, 2020 08:46 AM

Once upon a time, iceberg lettuce was the only salad green on most American dinner plates. Then for years it seemed to have been banished from all venues except for low-end salad bars and Mexican combo platters. But even though more fashionable species of deeper-hued, smaller, shapelier salad greens replaced it in discriminating culinary circles, in recent years iceberg has made a major comeback as the uber-cool wedge, its mildness offset with a big-flavored blue cheese dressing. It’s nice to serve this on...

Try this sweeter, simpler take on traditional French onion soup, topped with toasted cheese croutons. You can use any kind of mustard—Dijon, spicy brown, or even plain old yellow.

Ricotta & Spinach Gnocchi With Parmesan Cream Sauce

Blossom Lady

Jul 19, 2020 04:56 AM

The problem with homemade classic gnocchi can be with choosing the perfect potatoes, I know. And even a hint of too much flour can easily make them heavy instead of light little dumplings. So what is the secret of soft and light gnocchi? Just skip the potatoes and use ricotta instead! Not only is the outcome much easier to control, the whole recipe is so much easier, quicker and healthier. Children love these gnocchi. Ingredients 450 g fresh spinach, well rinsed or 280 g frozen spinach 280 g ricotta, ...

Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

Blossom Lady

Jul 16, 2020 07:23 AM

Teriyaki is a versatile Japanese sweet and savory sauce. It is perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes and adds a burst of flavor and shine to these baked teriyaki chicken thighs. Chicken teriyaki is about as easy as whisking together a quick no-cook sauce, pouring it over some chicken in a pan, and sliding it in the oven. The chicken comes out juicy and moist, with a beautiful mahogany glaze. Don’t worry about overcooking these. With all the sauce surrounding them, they’ll just get more and more tend...

Cherry Jam Tart + Sweet Pastry Recipe for Pies and Tarts

Blossom Lady

Jul 15, 2020 09:15 AM

If I had to choose a fruit dessert over chocolate, fruit would win every time. I love the fresh, bright taste fruit gives to recipes and how different varieties can vary so much in their flavor. Whenever there is an outing or a country lunch or a big family dinner, you can count on the Italians’ most loved dolce, or sweet, being present. Wild cherries can be found everywhere in this time of the year, and the marmalade made from them is a must for this delicious cherry jam tart. Using cherry preserves rea...
