[ad_1] I was in Paris* last week — no, I cannot believe I get to utter sentences like that so casually, either, pinch me — and it was really, truly, and surprisingly spring. The magnolia trees at the Jardin du Palais Royal supplied us with a lace curtain of fluttering pink shadows, the daffodils and […]

miso chicken and rice – smitten kitchen
[ad_1] I’d say this safely serves 3 people but if you’ve got other food on the table — we always make a cucumber salad to go with, if not another vegetable — it might stretch to 4 servings. 2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce 1 tablespoon (15ml) oyster sauce 1 tablespoon (15ml) Shaoxing wine 1 tablespoon […]

pumpkin basque cheesecake – smitten kitchen

opera cake – smitten kitchen
[ad_1] Make the cake: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of two 9×13-inch pans with parchment paper and coat the parchment paper (yes, this extra buffer helps a lot) and the exposed sides of the pan with nonstick spray. In a mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the 4 egg […]
brown butter snickerdoodles – smitten kitchen
[ad_1] Brown your butter: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and some toasted speckles will appear. As soon as they do, remove the pan from the burner; the residual heat will be sufficient to toast the rest of the butter to a medium […]
spinach and ricotta gnudi – smitten kitchen
[ad_1] Although spinach gnudi — soft, pillowy cheese dumplings fried in browned butter and sage — are traditionally more of a spring or summer food, I’m here to make the argument we should eat them right now, in prime soup-and-sweater weather. Because did you hear the part about warm cheese? the puddle of brown butter? […]
