Molasses Spice Cookies

Jen — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:30:51 +0000

I love molasses spice cookies. That chewy texture and deep molasses taste is so good, especially with a cup of coffee. Several years ago, I undertook a quest to find the right recipe that matched the molasses spice cookies that Starbucks had. I'm not sure I found the recipe, but after several taste-tests from my fellow SB addicts, we found one we liked and then of course, I tweaked it to my tastes.

Saving Summer In A Jar

People have been canning and preserving for years without making a big deal of it - but canning seems to be seeing a resurgence of late, from shops to restaurants to homes. It's everywhere.

On-Demand Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jen — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 04:56:26 +0000

Good enough to keep the dough on-hand in the freezer for freshly-baked cookies any time I need them: for a party, as a gift ...or whenever a craving hits!

Pancakes à la Hervé

Jen — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:30:13 +0000

It was pancake Tuesday this past week, but since I’m not Catholic, this has less bearing on my life. Except for that pancake part. I’m always down with eating pancakes. So, some time ago, I sat for a talk that Hervé gave for the basics of his (then) new book. There are some very cool ...more

The Basic Cheesecake

Jen — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:30:31 +0000

Never having made a cheesecake before (usually my sister’s domain), I settled on Cooking For Engingeer‘s New York style cheesecake to test-drive and tweak. Now, they call for a ridiculous amount of cream cheese and eggs to make a 10″ monster. Since I needed to serve only 5 people, I opted to scale things down ...more

Kueh Bangkit (Coconut & Tapioca Flour Cookies)

Jen — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:30:49 +0000

As a child, I remember eating these pale and oddly-shaped cookies. Fragrant with pandan and coconut, these dry and crumbly treats end up melting on your tongue. It’s weird and delicious all at the same time. Goes well with a cup of tea – which sometimes becomes a necessity – to help wash it down. ...more

Hainanese Chicken

Jen — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:17:45 +0000

So, I had spoken of Hainanese Chicken in my last post on making soup. Why? Because for the best version of this dish, you don’t poach your chicken in water, you poach it in soup. However, water does work in a pinch, it’s just not as tasty. Now, I can hear some of you say ...more

My Mother’s Chicken Soup

Jen — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:58:56 +0000

My favourite soup happens to be chicken. But the chicken soup I grew up with had little to do with making a mirepoix and is closer to broth – with the addition of ginger, salt, and sometimes, pork. Having chicken soup on my mind, my eyes homed in on $1.29 chicken carcasses at the local ...more

The Annual Matcha Shortbread Production

Jen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 21:21:45 +0000

Despite the fact that Christmas is over, production of green tea shortbread in my kitchen goes well beyond the 25th. I guess you’d call it my signature holiday cookie as the one year I decided to switch things up and leave it off the roster, all I got were comments noting the lack of the ...more

Chicken Potato Salad with Homemade Mayo

Jen — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:26:59 +0000

Peering into the fridge to ponder dinner last night yielded the makings for chicken salad. I was, however, without mayo. But I recalled the recipe on Cooking for Engineers, checked for ingredients, and decided to give it a go. I also pulled my shiny new digital scale from Salter out to measure everything out, so ...more
