Pots de Crème With Fresh Fruits
July 13, 2011
Pots de Crème is a classic French dessert. My version has a hint of alcohol since I used homemade vanilla extract, which you can learn how to make it here. You can accompany this delicious treat with any seasonal fruit like Cherries {Hint, Hint}. In another note, I am officially a Level 6 Student at The French Culinary Institute,…
Blackberry Coulis
May 25, 2011
Coulis is a thick sauce created from fruits puree and vegetables. I use coulis for many of my desserts like Lemon Tart. For the tart I use strawberry or raspberry coulis. You can have fun when creating a dessert with these sauces plus they are very easy to make. I am currently at the Patissier station at L’ecole making…
Lemon Tart – Tarte Au Citron
April 6, 2011
I should go to Lemon Tart Rehab, if there is such place. Why? Because that is what I was told. Who? My classmates. Yes, I love this tart. It is tangy. The dough is not heavy. It is a very well-balanced dessert. I can’t get enough of it. This tart was made every single day at my class and…
Swiss Meringues For Valentine’s
February 7, 2011
Before I decided to go to Culinary School, I had the idea/bad-experience/perception that meringues were hard to make. I tried to make it when I was young so many times because I love cakes that are decorated with it {I have had one for every birthday}. One time It came out very loose, another came out very stiff. That was…
Sweet Sabayon
November 14, 2010
I went to heaven last Wednesday. We made a Classic Sabayon recipe in class. It was delicious, like nothing I have tasted before. I gave in. I’m in love with French cooking and I have to share that love with you. This is by far the most inexpensive, easiest, delightful and eye catching dessert you could ever make. All the…
Raspberry Dirt
October 23, 2010
Lately, as you may have noticed, I haven’t had much time left out of my schedule. It has been really crazy around here. I just transferred to one of the top culinary schools in the country. It is happening and I’m freaking out, but in a good way. With this out of my chest, I better fasten my seatbelt. This…
Sweet Flourless Chocolate Cake
October 9, 2010
There is nothing in the world that makes me more happy than creating recipes, except shopping for shoes, but that is another story. I spent most of my time yesterday, trying to figure out the right recipe for a sweet flourless chocolate cake. There were these factors about other recipes that I didn’t quite like. Don’t get fool by this…
CupCake Cups
September 7, 2010
Today, because… I’m happy. I have the shortest haircut I have ever had {I can’t hardly make a pony tail out of it}. I’m going to the Martha Stewart Show tomorrow to be part of her audience. Brownie understood 2% of the speech I gave him about doing his needs outside. I love cupcakes. I finally perfected my wedding cake…
French Vanilla Lover
July 4, 2010
What do you do when someone stops by your house without notice and you don’t have any dessert ready to serve? Be creative and invent something. Well, that’s why I did when I got in that situation. I usually have some type of dessert in my refrigerator, specially jello {I love jello with condensed milk}….
Walnuts and Cinnamon Cake
June 21, 2010
This is one of those recipes I squeezed out of my teacher. This cake has walnuts. Tons of them. I don’t know how I got it from her but I considered that day my lucky day. Her cakes are magnificent. They will take you in a non-stop flight directly to food heaven. She knows her stuff and I’m glad I…
Corn Pudding
June 7, 2010
This recipe is very closed to my heart. My mom used to make it for us back home. Oh those days. Because it’s corn season {Yeheyyy}, I decided to make it. This is one of those deserts where you will only need 4 ingredients: Milk, corn, sugar and salt. My hubby gave a 10 for this yummy recipe. I meant,…
Mango Mousse
June 2, 2010
I just fall in love with anything that has to do with mangoes. I just love them. Mango Cake, Mango Pop, Mango Jello.. Ok I’m starting to sound crazy about mangoes. The good thing is that it is easy to make. Well, I was researching online for a recipe but most of them left me unclear on some way or…
Cinnamon Swirl Mini Cake
May 1, 2010
How Can I not love this recipe? Shhh I adored it.. It was heavenly good. Surprisingly It didn’t take a lot to make it. But the other hand what really drove me crazy about getting this recipe done was.. I’ll tell in a bit :). I used imported brown sugar. You can use regular sugar if you want. Mix the…
Fondant Marshmallows
April 17, 2010
This recipe is sooooo easy, but don’t try it at home. I have to say that probably the color of the fondant and/or the quality of the picture attracted me to try to make this recipe*. Fondant Marshmallows Even after I made them, I was still attracted to them. They are just so colorful and cute. The only 3 things…
Easter Cupcakes
March 31, 2010
Yesterday I decided to go egg hunting, well not really. I was inspired by Easter. I can’t believe what came out of my inspiration. I just knew I needed a lot of these.. I went crazy baking them. The cups are just so colorful that they make me want to bake them. This time around I didn’t use all purpose…
