Rich Rolled Cardamom Cookies
The classic Joy of Cooking rich rolled sugar cookies – they’re tender, not crisp. I wanted to make something a little different from the standard sugar cookie. Enter ground cardamom.
What's new...
Cookie Decorating Glaze
This is America’s Test Kitchen’s “Easy All Purpose Glaze” just slightly different way of making it lemon flavoured – going for “subtle” to not over power the cardamom cookies. Variations here too!
Princess Sugar
Pink lemon flavoured decorating sugar. This recipe is from a class I took at L’Academie de Cuisine called “Holiday Gifts from the Kitchen”. Taught by Joel Olson
Ski Liberty Grilled Cheese
This is a hearty grilled cheese sandwich with swiss cheese, mushrooms, spinach and cheddar cheese (I really insist, it’s gotta be in that order, I don’t care if the swiss or cheddar is on top, but the Swiss and the mushrooms must touch), inspired by McKees Tavern at Ski Liberty in Fairfield, Pennsylvania.
Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Nuts
They’re sweet, they’re spicy, it’s nuts. That was incredibly dumb. These are great to snack on, easy to make, and fancy enough to set out during drinks if you’re hosting a dinner party.
Cinnamon sugar
A childhood pantry staple, funny I never knew the ratio of cinnamon to sugar. This is one of those “it’s here so I have it handy” recipes.
Cardamom sugar
I used to add a couple grinds of cardamom and a squeeze of honey to my hot cocoa, or my oatmeal (porridge) or cream of wheat, then my cardamom grinder broke (yes, I hear myself), and I think the other grinder (really, I do hear myself) is at the office, and it’s lockdown, and I don’t want to buy another “thing” right now, so I gave this a go.
Burns Night Banana Bread
A crunchy topped banana bread with chocolate and whisky added for good measure.
Roasted Tomatoes With Shrimp and Feta
Roasted tomatoes with shrimp and feta – the ratio of effort to tastiness makes no sense, food this good shouldn’t be this easy to make.
Rote Grütze (Summer Fruit pudding)
Traditional German berry pudding, a great summer dessert that can easily be spiced up for winter too.
