This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are doing two for the price of one. The base is a sour cream puff dough that can be made into two different recipes, one sweet and one savory. Up first is the sweet caramel sugar pufflets. This dough is like a puff pastry which I have not…
Sablé Breton Galette with Berries
I have made sablés (cookie) and I have made galettes (pie) but I have not made a sablé galette. I made the galette dough and the lemon curd the day before and chilled it overnight so all I had to do was bake and assemble the next day. I rolled out the galette dough into…
Luang Prabang Chicken-Chili Sandwiches
These were the perfect sandwiches for when you do not want to cook. We picked up a roasted chicken ala Costco for ease of preparation. I had to substitute Thai sweet chili sauce for a jar of regular chili sauce I had. I was also uber lazy and bought a bag for shredded lettuce. This…
Natasha’s Mum’s Fruit and Walnut Bread Bars
When I opened the cook book to make these, I knew I was going to have to make substitutions. My husband does not like walnuts so that was first to go, I substituted for pecans. Next was the dried fruit. I did not have most of the fruit listed so I went with what I…
Coconut Patties
I have managed to bake on time for our group but posting on time is proving problematic:) I was happy when these came up for a vote as I had unsweetened coconut sitting around. I also new these wouldn’t be too popular as my family is not coconut lovers. For my citrus flavor I used…
Chicken Chili Tamale Pie
Having read everyone’s reviews from last post I learned two things: allot enough time for the recipe and use pre-made chicken. I don’t think I have had chicken chili before I usually make beef chili with beans. Also, I don’t think I have added sweet potato to my chili before. This recipe was a bunch…
Chocolate Chip Not-Quite Mandelbrot
I am always baking for two families so I made a full recipe. I was pretty sure all would love this one since we all enjoy chocolate. This was a fairly easy recipe as it can be whipped up in one bowl. A full recipe requires three logs but I could not fit all three…
Blueberry – Mascarone Roulade
From Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan, I made this roulade for Mother’s Day. It is one of the many desserts I have not had a chance to make from this book yet. A dessert with fresh blueberries seemed just right for spring time. It is a sponge cake baked, rolled in a towel…
Tomato Tart with Mustard and Ricotta
I went rouge this week. I wanted to serve this dish for Mother’s Day so I swapped out the two recipes. This dish did not come out at all like the picture. I think the photo is before the eggs go in. Any who, we really loved this one. The crust is fantastic, like all…
Pecan-Brown Sugar Crack-Ups
This recipe reminded me of another Dorie cookie which can be broken into pieces at the table, Salted Butter Break-Ups from Around My French Table. Given the times in which we live in, these crack-ups probably need to stay home for family only. I thought this was an easy recipe and used one piece of…
