For this recipe I had to turn to Dorie’s “playing around” section. I had fully intended to make the lemon-poppy seed version but I discovered that I did not have poppy seeds or lemon extract. I did have, on the other hand, orange extract so I went with orange shortbread. I would have preferred to…

Green Tea Sablés
We have made several sable recipes over the years from Baking Chez Moi and this will be our last. The basis of this cookie is like most; butter, sugar, flour, salt but the secret ingredient is green tea leaves. This recipe is different from the rest as it does not have an egg which made…
Salmon Burgers
Our Cook the Book Fridays group decided for the month of April to “make whatever recipe from Everyday Dorie that strikes your fancy (or, honestly, whose ingredients you can find or already have).” I decided to make my choice from the completed recipe list since I was still playing catch-up. I settled on these salmon…
Little Rascals
I voted for these jam filled sandwich cookies because my husband loves jam, I had jam to use up and I had all the ingredients to make them, a win-win-win. The German name for this cookie is Spitzbuben translated as little rascals. This is a new cookie for me. I made one substitution, my husband…
Speculoos Panna Cotta
We enjoyed last weeks Nutella-Banana Panna Cotta so much that I decided to do Dorie’s Bonne Idee of Speculoos Panna Cotta. I had a package of Lotus Biscoff cookies that I knew would be the perfect crunchy accompaniment. I waited in a long line at Trader Joe’s for my Speculoos Cookie Butter, as well as…
Last-of-the-Bunch Banana Bundt
Keep calm and bake, my new motto. I had all the ingredients for this week’s assignment for Every Day Dorie. The plan was to take this to a dinner party but it was cancelled due to the coronovirus outbreak. No matter I baked it anyway and shared it with my in-laws. Now comes the funny…
Nutella-Banana Panna Cotta
This is our third and final panna cotta recipe for Baking Chez Moi and this happens to be my favorite. I really enjoy Nutella and this dessert hit the spot. There were few ingredients but each required a separate dish so this was a dish plenty recipe. Gelatin was bloomed in one dish. Milk and…
Garam Grahams
Once upon a time…before coronavirus, I could buy groceries that I needed. Now, grocery shopping seems to be the most challenging thing to do. I have been looking for our key ingredient, garam masala, since before the coronavirus outbreak but my husband reminded me that I could just make it at home. He was right,…
Ginger Fried Rice
Ginger fried rice, this week’s assignment for Every Day Dorie. I actually made this one on time but forgot to do the write up. We haven’t made Asian food in a long time so this was a welcome change. I used soy sauce instead of ponzu sauce and I skipped the gochujang and I wished…
Coco Rochers
Having just finished Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme, which required 4 egg yolks, I had 4 egg whites to make these cookies. These are really for the coconut lover. I had to go out and buy unsweetened coconut for this recipe, Dorie says “sweetened coconut won’t give you the right texture.” This is a simple…
