German (or Swiss) "Hash" Potatoes and Eggs Rösti is a German/Swiss traditional "hash" potato dish. The secret to making this is to squeeze out as much of the moisture from grated potatoes as you can. With this version, shredded onion was added, then cooked until golden brown. Once cooked, add fresh eggs on top for a hearty breakfast. Rösti are a delicious side dish for any kind of meal,
The Perfect Chewy Sugar Cookie
The perfect Sugar Cookie, to me, has crispy edges with a chewy center. It needs to have just the right balance of butter flavor and vanilla custard. The extra sugar coating adds that perfect crunchy texture on your tongue. This recipe delivers that perfect texture and flavor and is a family favorite. A sugar cookie is a sugar cookie is a... well, not necessarily! To me, the perfect sugar
How to make Chicago Chicken Vesuvio
Chicken Vesuvio is a classic Italian Chicago dish. Chicken is seared and browned with red potatoes, then a lovely roasting pan sauce is made with plenty of fresh garlic, white wine and chicken stock and finished off in the oven. Frozen green peas are added, at the end. The chicken turns out moist and flavorful with a delicious white wine sauce. I've never been to Chicago. Some day I will.
The Best Chocolate Cake with Old-Fashioned Cooked Vanilla Frosting
There is something both a bit mystical and magical about Cooked Vanilla Frosting. It starts with making a flour "roux" and slowly adding granulated sugar. The end result is a cake frosting that is smooth and a dream to work with! Today is my birthday. (Thank you, in advance, for your best wishes.) I'm taking the day off, to spend the anniversary of my arrival into this
Cherry and Apricot Crostata with a Ricotta Filling
Cherries and Apricots are a surprising match made in heaven. Crostatas are a "rustic" pie that are very easy to make. The sweet ricotta filling adds a lovely creaminess to this pastry. You can use a store bought pie crust, or make your own. Bing Cherries are my choice, since they are in season in my part of California. I loved the flavor of this "free form" pie. This is delicious served warm, or
How to Make Homemade Strawberry Cheese Cake Custard Ice Cream
Homemade Strawberry Cheese Cake Custard Ice cream is irresistibly delicious. Custard ice cream starts with cooking heavy cream with eggs, that gives this ice cream a luscious texture. To mimic the cheesecake flavor, cream cheese adds a richness to the custard. A homemade crushed graham cracker crust is added for a final finish. My ice cream maker has become a good investment. I have made
Summer White Peach Sangria
I was inspired to make a White Peach Sangria when I ordered one in Palm Springs. It was light and refreshing and I loved it. This "cocktail" showcases fresh summer fruits beautifully. You'll want to prepare this a few hours before your guests arrive. Right before serving, add some club soda. I guarantee they will love it, and they'll definitely go back for seconds. Just in time
Peach and Blueberry Cobbler with Cinnamon Streusel
This cobbler recipe would work very well with just about any kind of fruit-- a berry combination, just blueberries... use your imagination! I had some frozen peaches and leftover fresh blueberries, and I was very pleased with how beautifully this cobbler turned out! The dough has a touch of lemon zest, and just the right balance of sweet. It's very tender, as long as you don't overwork the dough.
Käsekuchen – German Quark Cheesecake
German Käsekuchen (German Quark Cheesecake) is different from a New York style cheesecake. This cheesecake is made with quark (similar to ricotta cheese). The shortbread style crust has notes of vanilla and citrus, and the filling is a bit denser with just the right about of sweetness. This brings back delicious childhood memories of when I lived in Bavaria. I love cheesecake. I love the
