Impress any cookie fanatic with this recipe that combines the flavours of raspberry, cream cheese and vanilla perfectly into one tasty treat.
This recipe is done in a pressure cooker (I use a 6 quart Fagor) with a triple-ply base. I am always trying different recipes in the pressure cooker. Risotto is one of my favourites. I use it as the main dish with the addition of lentils. With or without lentils, I serve it as a side to roasted salmon with wilted spinach. I specify arborio rice but use Carnaroli or Vialone Nano, if you can find either, for the best results. Green lentils are used since they hold their shape in a pressure cooker. Romano cheese is my personal preference over parmesan.
Some of Shauna's best childhood memories are of kitchen time spent with mom Evelyn Maltby of Amherst, N.S. An early childhood educator for the past 27 years, Evelyn is often in the kitchen at dawn baking for preschool break time. On Dec. 24, she bakes this original-recipe cake for family and neighbours.
This rustic bread has best results when baked on a baking stone. Heat the stone in the oven as it preheats. Use a cornmeal-dusted baker's peel to transfer the loaf to the stone just before baking. However, if you don't have a baking stone, you can still use a baking sheet. You can find stone-ground rye flour in bulk food stores.
So simple it's almost scandalous, this mix of homemade chocolate wafers and whipped cream is dressed up with raspberries and deliciously accented with lemon. For Valentine's Day, a heart shape is the obvious choice, but you can also make the cake round or rectangular.
One evening I had a potato lasagna while out for dinner with my husband, that I truly enjoyed. My daughter loves lasagna but is unable to eat ricotta cheese, and adores goat cheese. I decided to combine the two ideas and continued to play with recipe until I came up with this one, enjoy!
Choosing between pie and cheesecake is the eternal dessert dilemma; we've melded the two together for the ultimate fall treat. Use a fork to crimp the crust and skip the time-consuming process of fluting by hand.
Arancini are elegant, crispy bites of warm risotto with melting cheese centres. If desired, they can be further elevated by the addition of a drizzle of white truffle oil when stirring in the Parmesan. For convenience, make the risotto a day ahead.
