Bread Baking: Easy(er) Croissants

Right, I love these, as I love to see easy to make flaky pastry recipes all over the net these days. I think yeast is a great idea and adds to the lightness of dough, and this recipe gives you time to plan. Chocolate within sounds FUN!! Made yeast dough-nuts yesterday, and they were fabulous!

French Macarons Coming Soon to Starbucks

I'll just say 'make them'. We've begun a group of macpassionate people who met on twitter and now run a monthly challenge to make macs. It's been a HUGE learning experience, and super fun.

Pressure Cooker Phobia?

In India pressure cookers are much the way of life, and I 'proudly' own 3. LOL. No day goes without the use of this wonderful contraption, and no, it doesn't explode. Just needs some TLC. Look for signs like less pressure build up, steam escaping from the sides etc. That's when you might need a gasket change. Otherwise it's the best green option for the Earth!

Success just came by way of this delicious Chocolate Genoise with Mocha Mascarpone (homemade) that I just made for Dad's bday. it was 'cake Nirvana'... http://www.passionateaboutbaking.com/2009/07/chocolate-genoise-cake-with-mocha.html
