I took Mardi Michel’s advice and made ice cream balls instead of the pops for this week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi. This is a no cook ice cream in which I used a pasteurized egg and the grown-up part is the inclusion of alcohol. I used Chambord as my liqueur selection. …

Philadelphia Blueberry-Corn Tart
I am an Olympic enthusiast. I enjoy seeing the best realize their dreams. This Philadelphia Blueberry-Corn Tart from Baking Chez Moi would do nicely for a patriotic dessert commemorating the start of the Olympic games. I have burned many a crust, so I have learned to use a lower temperature 375 degrees and less time….
Summer-Market Galette
“We like the things that summer brings. It brings the sun. It brings the heat. It brings the things we like to eat.” Summer by Alice Low, Roy Mckie I have quoted one of my favorite childhood books for this summer-market galette. So many nice things about summer including all the fruit. Galettes are easy…
Cornmeal and Berry Cakes
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we have selected two summer fruit desserts. This week I decided to make the Cornmeal and Berry Cakes from Baking Chez Moi. The recipe calls for raspberries but I substituted blueberries and I think any berry would work well in these cakes. This recipe came together quickly and easily…
Rice Pudding, Strawberries and Spiced Hibiscus Syrup
In June, Tuesdays with Dorie baking group made this rice pudding. I finally had a chance to make this recipe. I voted for this as I have a pudding and rice lover in my house. Making pudding from scratch is a labor of love as it involves stirring for almost 40 minutes but the wait is…
Rose Fraisier
“Fraise means strawberry and Le Fraisier is the French cake that celebrates the fruit”. I ended up making a strawberry cake as I did not have the rose syrup and rose extract needed for this recipe. This was a show stopping cake and my guests were impressed. I am glad that I was able to…
Tarte Tropezienne
This weeks baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie is Tarte Tropezienne from Baking Chez Moi. This is a brioche cake with a pastry cream filling. This cake has quite the legend and you can read more about it at La Tarte Tropezienne. I have one rule for baking and that is to decrease the liquid in…
Betty’s Chocoholic Cake
I made Betty’s Chocoholic Cake from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan as part of my Mother’s Day Brunch. This rich chocolate cake is not for the faint of heart, comprised of three layers of cake which are more brownie-like than cake and topped with ganache. The finished product was impressive. I served the cake…
Cocoa Crunch Meringue Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie I made Cocoa Crunch Meringue Cookies from Baking Chez Moi on page 293. This is my first attempt at a meringue type cookie and I was a bit nervous to get it right. My fellow bakers who had already made these commented that they had trouble getting the total recipe…
Jammer Galette
It is Tuesdays with Dorie time again. One of our baking assignments this month is this Jammer Galette from Baking Chez Moi. My husband is a lover of jam so I knew he would like this one. Dorie’s crusts seem to always come out perfect. I used strawberry jam for the filling and who can…
