Pham Fatale Bread Contest!

My Simple One Hour Homemade Bread recipe was entered in a bread contest on Pham Fatale. I would love it if you would go and vote! There is even possibly something in it for you too. One of the voters will be randomly selected to win a Hot Petty Phoenix Knife (a $99 value) from […]

A Comforting Cup of Anise Herbal Tea

I have mentioned my love for anise before. I think it stems from my German roots. My grandmother, a German immigrant, used to bring back plates of goodies from each of her trips home to Germany. I always hoped that my favorites would be among the goodies–little meringue-like button shaped cookies that were anise flavored. […]

Vanilla Lemon Custard Vols-au-Vent

One of my favorite movies is the movie Babette’s Feast, a Danish film that tells the story of two sisters, Philippa and Martina, who take Babette Hersant, a refugee from France, into their home as their cook. The father of the sisters was the founding pastor of a Christian sect of which the sisters keep […]

Home!

Having learned the ways of the kitchen ninja, I stealthily returned home from my trip to New York this morning at 1:30 am. Wow, what a whirlwind trip! Enjoyed the great views, great company, and fun event. I can’t wait to tell you more, but for now I’m going to give my ninja moves a […]

Going into Ninja mode…

Hey there Fujiphiles! I’m leaving for the airport in approximately 2 hours time to fly to NYC. I know you’re gonnna miss me, but just think of all the poor citizens of New York having to put up with me for 24 hours, and that should make you feel better! I’ll be representing Steamy Kitchen […]

Kheer Frozen Yogurt Pops

I recently received some coupons from Stoneyfield Farm to try their line of organic Greek yogurt called Oikos. I love Greek yogurt, and so decided to do a little taste testing so that I could get an accurate picture of where Oikos stood compared to some of the other Greek yogurts I have eaten in […]

Washoku Warriors Photo Poll

For the most recent Washoku Warriors Miso challenge, I decided to add an extra element of fun for our participants. I challenged the Warriors to “get creative” in their picture taking. Well, the challenge is over and we’ve got our photos, and we’d love to hear what you think! The poll is after the photos. […]

Washoku Warriors Challenge #3: Miso Mania!

This month the Washoku Warriors explored the many faces of miso. We had three categories to work from for this challenge: sauces, main dish, and dessert. The Warriors had the option to cook just a couple, cook them all, or just pick the ones that looked appealing to them. These were the options: (1) Miso […]

Naptime Cake, aka Quick and Easy Fruit and Almond Cake

I recently put a call out on Twitter asking for some quick and easy dessert ideas. Within five minutes I had about 20 responses giving a wide variety of wonderful ideas. One of them was my uncle who suggested ice cream with fresh grilled Utah peaches–nothing like family to taunt you with things you don’t […]
