Calling out to all of you tart lovers

Hands down winner is Dorie Greenspans Tart Recipe. Easy, no rolling out, just press into tart pan and bake. Just enjoying the last few crumbs of a Pear Vanilla Almond Frangipane Tart ... excellent!

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.

You can find it at http://mactweets.blogspot.com/

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!

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Biggest failure is my macarons that floated away in total oblivion & I wept copious tears of utter misery! 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

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

'HOT HOUSE EGGS'. In his book 'D is for Dahl', Roald Dahl mentioned 'hot house eggs', with black & white pictures.My lad who, had never eaten an egg happily in 8 years suddenly took to it, & there's been no looking back.From someone who never touched an egg for breakfast with a bargepole, he became a happy egg eater!!

Seriously Italian: Semolina and Sesame Grissini

These are just right for that sneaky nibble. I love grissini sticks & had my first exposure to them in Sydney. These are yum all the way. Congrats on your James Beard award too. Well done indeed!
