Biscotti

olive oil biscotti

 I have been planning to make biscotti for a long time. Two major reasons for making it now.
1. We know someone who likes them in particular
2. I have started enjoying my daughter help me with the 'mix mix mix'... We were watching Elmo's birthday video and that reminded her of 'cake'.

So for now all baking leads to cakes. I got her to help me with beating up the eggs. If I dont let her handle something in the name of measuring, she says she wants to measure.

While making them, she had a list of people, she wanted to share them with.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
