Curry in a Hurry

We eat curry fairly frequently here, chez  Real Food Made Easy — for a couple of reasons.

It tastes pretty good, and we like pretty much all versions of it.
It can be made up fairly quickly with a couple of pantry staples at hand, and a pressure cooker
It is pretty versatile and works well as a [...]

Gluten-free Chocolate chip Bread Pudding

So what do when you’re testing bread recipes, and you find yourself with a surfeit of bread? Why make bread pudding!

Gingerbread Houses: post-modern style

The December 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi. They chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch.

I like meatballs so much I’m blogging about them!

I love meatballs.   Meaty goodness, in a bite-sized package — all the fun of meatloaf without the commitment!

One of the things I like about them is the fact that you can combine them with all kinds of flavours — any way you want.  That way you can eat them in all kinds of forms — [...]

“I’m just goofin’ around, that’s all!”

Just like the 22-Minutes version of Babe Bennett  (having some time this afternoon) I decided to goof around a bit … with teff!

You say Torte, I say Torta (A very Daring Dobos Torte)

“The August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful
of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos
Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus:  Exquisite
Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.”

Last week, I realized that I had not yet tackled the August [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the BLT from scratch!

So back on June 10, Michael Ruhlman (author most recently of the excellent book Ratios!), threw a challenge out to all those on the interweb, to make their own BLT from scratch.

He had just finished making homemade pancetta, and showed that it was actually not as difficult as we all might have thought, and the [...]
