An Apple A DAy

The Bolzana Apple cake has become quite the rage since Scott Carsberg wrote about it in the New York Times. I followed that recipe and fell in love with the cake. It was a great mixture between a pastry and a custard. A marriage made in apple heaven.

However, this cake also reminded me was so much  of a strudel that it made me want to improvise and make something else. So I decided to make an apple pancake. Prepared much like the original cake yet with the textural integrity and lightness of a pancake. 

It is absolutely genius. So why don't you take my word for it and give this a try. I am certain, when you taste the vanilla butter ensconced apples held up by a gossamer batter you will absolutely fall in love.

It is very easy so enjoy!

What's Up With That Welsh Rabbit?

Welsh Rabbit

So what is so special about cheese on toast anyway, you may ask. Then I have to smile and tell you that although, for cheese and toast it is a bit of work, Welsh Rabbit or Rarebit bit (if you like it called by its non-cuddly name) is something you just have not tried yet.

What happens when you take an ordinary piece of bread, toast it and pour the most gorgeously luscious and creamy, hop-rich, aromatic beer-cheese sauce?

It turns into a bite of heaven, and transforms something as humble as bread and cheese into a dish meant for the royalties.

A Shot Of Açaí

Four Berry Breakfast Smoothie

Açaí berry is the new superfood that is widely growing recognition all over the world. Harvested from Amazonian palm, they have the right mix of mystery and difficulty of sustaining cultivation outside the equatorial belt to render it as the next exotic food must-have. Nevertheless, as far as the foodie in me goes, I do like their taste a lot. 

I often end up gulping shot glasses of Açaí berry juice raw without any accompaniment. Hey, but that is me. I definitely wouldn't recommend that  you do it, unless you are a juice aficionado.
