12 Saturday Sep 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Comfort Food, Desserts, Make Ahead

Tags

caramel sauce, Challah, chocolate chips, cream, eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, whole milk

This is different from the bread pudding I usually make.  It’s less dense and while it’s custardy, it isn’t overly custardy.  Does that make any sense at all?  Quite awhile back, when we could still dine out, The Goddess brunched at Rouge, in Philadelphia.  This is her version of their fantastic bread pudding.  Continue reading →

One Layer Chocolate-Cherry CakeThe Goddess likes cake.  Yes, she does.  She doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but chocolate cake is so good for breakfast.  This recipe is a riff on that old Peg Bracken cake from her “I Hate to Cook” cookbook.  In her recipe, you mix the cake right in the pan you’re going to bake it in.  It was a drop-dead easy recipe and had such a good flavor, so naturally The Goddess tossed in some bing cherries…naturally.  Continue reading →

Marinated Eggplant Fans Fans are so summery, aren’t they?  And eggplant fans, well, what can I say? I can make an entire meal on eggplant alone.  They’re so meaty, it picks up flavors like the little sponges that it is…and are, well, just delicious.  It was a Marcus Samuelsson recipe that got me thinking about this.   Continue reading →
