all-purpose flour, bourbon, roasted walnut oil, sour milk, Spices, toasted walnuts, vegetable oil, white sugar

Spice cake was my father’s favorite cake.  My mother had two recipes, a variation on her Sour Cream Cake, which frankly I’ve never had good luck with, and this one.  Which I always have very, very good luck with. Continue reading →

Applesauce-Oatmeal Tea Cake

01 Monday Jun 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Apples, Breakfast, Coffee Cake, Oats

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, eggs, Spices, toasted oatmeal, toasted walnuts, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, white sugar

This little gem of a cake is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea (or coffee).  It’s moist, actually gets better as it sits, (though it is damn fine the first day, too!), isn’t too sweet, keeps well and is more or less, a one-bowl cake.  It is just plain lovely!  Continue reading →

broth, cilantro, frozen peas, Garlic, Mint, onion, red bell pepper, Shrimp, Spices, tomato, vegetable oil, white wine, Whitefish

Fish & Shrimp in Tomato Curry SauceFish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries.  It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good.  This curry uses both fish and shrimp, which work very well together…friendly creatures of the sea, swimming together in a nice tomato-based curry sauce.  Continue reading →

Cheesy Beef and Shrimp SandwichI had lunch at Havana Harry’s (4612 S Le Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33146), with some wonderful friends who are not so near, but very dear to The Goddess and The Latin Lover.  Food is always better shared with good friends, don’t you think?  This is The Goddess’s version of their sandwich.

apricot preserves, dried cranberries, dried orange slices, lime juice, Pumpkin, pumpkin seed oil, ramen noodles, rice wine vinegar, savoy cabbage, Scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce, vegetable oil

We had a neighborhood pot luck recently to celebrate fall.  We were asked to bring either a dessert or a side, with a pumpkin theme.  Well, I knew there would be plenty of desserts, so I decided a salad would be the thing.  I’ve always loved the ramen noodle salad that has made the rounds over the years.  So I decided to roast some pumpkin and add that.  Turns out, it was quite delicious.  Here we go….

A Sweet Greek VinaigretteRecently I had the privilege of breaking bread, well pita, with an incredibly talented and sharp woman.  Her family has been a part of our lives for over two decades!  Where does the time go?  Anyway, we dined at Mythos, in Burlington, Ontario.  The dinner was delicious, but their Greek salad was divine.  Continue reading →

One Layer Chocolate-Cherry Cake

baking soda, Bing cherries, cherry brandy, cocoa, coffee, espresso powder, flour, Greek-style yogurt, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, vinegar

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 →

The basic poppy seed dressing recipe has been a part of my repertoire for years.  But, The Goddess decided it was time for a change, hence the orange and vanilla.  It’s still a little bit sweet and a little bit sharp—it really is the perfect summer dressing. Continue reading →
