CAESAR SALAD

CAESAR SALAD

A Caesar salad is a green salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
In its original form, this salad was prepared and served tableside.

The salad's creation is generally attributed to restaurateur Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant who operated restaurants in Mexico and the United States. Cardini was living in San Diego but he was also working in Tijuana where he avoided the restrictions of Prohibition.[3] His daughter Rosa (1928–2003) recounted that her father invented the salad when a Fourth of July 1924 rush depleted the kitchen's supplies. Cardini made do with what he had, adding the dramatic flair of the table-side tossing "by the chef."  A number of Cardini's staff have said that they invented the dish.

INGREDIENTS

200g sourdough baguette, cut into 1cm cubes
olive oil cooking spray
6 rashers rindless bacon, chopped
1 large cos lettuce
50g parmesan cheese, shaved

CAESAR DRESSING

2 egg yolks

FISH TACOS - The Traditional Mexican Dish


FISH TACOS



A taco is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and cheese, allowing great versatility and variety. Tacos are generally eaten without utensils, often garnished with salsa, chili pepper, avocado, guacamole, cilantro (coriander), tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.

Beginning from the early part of the twentieth century, various types of tacos have become popular in the United States and Canada. An early appearance of a description of the taco in the United States in English was in a 1914 cookbook, California Mexican-Spanish Cookbook, by Bertha Haffner Ginger. The most common type of taco in the US is the hard-shell, U-shaped version, first described in a cookbook, The good life: New Mexican food, authored by Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert and published in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1949. These types are sold by restaurants and by fast food chains, while kits are readily available in most supermarkets. Even non-Mexican oriented fast food restaurants have sold tacos. Mass production of this type of taco was encouraged by the invention of devices to hold the tortillas in the U-shape as they were deep-fried. A patent for such a device was issued to New York restaurateur Juvencio Maldonado in 1950, based on his patent filing of 1947 (U.S. Patent No. 2,506,305).Such tacos are crisp-fried corn tortillas filled with seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and sometimes tomato, onion, salsa, sour cream, and avocado or guacamole.

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE


Molten chocolate cake is a popular dessert that combines the elements of a flourless chocolate cake and a soufflé.[citation needed] The name derives from the dessert's liquid chocolate center chocolate moelleux(fr), tortino al cioccolato con cuore caldo, and chocolate lava cake. It should not be confused with chocolate fondant, a recipe that contains little flour, but instead a lot of chocolate and butter, hence melting on the palate (but not on the plate)

The United States-based chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten claims to have invented molten chocolate cake in New York City in 1987, but the French chef and chocolatier Jacques Torres disputes this, arguing that such a dish already existed in France. According to Vongerichten, he pulled a chocolate sponge cake from the oven before it was done and found that the center was still runny, but was warm and had both a good taste and texture. Regardless of who invented the dish, Vongerichten has been credited with popularizing it in the United States, and it became almost a de rigueur inclusion on high-end restaurant dessert menus.

Red Velvet Doughnut With Cream Cheese Frosting

Red velvet doughnut with cream cheese frosting


This dessert (or breakfast or snack!) is perfect for all holidays, what with all the rich red color and the delicious chocolate flavor.

Donuts are always a crowd favorite, although they’re typically fried – which I’ve tried to do in the past, without much success – so the fact that these donuts are baked make them so much more loveable for how easy they are to throw together.

To make them you will need a donut pan for this recipe, so if you’d like to have homemade donuts in your house every week it would be worth picking one up. I was a little skeptical that the pan would work as well as they claimed, but as long as you don’t overfill it (pro tip: shoot for filling it half way) the donuts will turn out perfectly.

And even if you do overfill a few, don’t worry – those donuts will still taste just as good.

Because those less-than-perfect donuts?

They are the ones you get to eat on your own, fresh out of the oven with all the leftover frosting, before anyone else gets to have some.

Sometimes those are the donuts that taste the best.



In the past, I’ve decorated the donuts in two different ways: some I just dipped in powdered sugar, so the tops have a nice dusting of sweetness. It was a nice, light compliment to the moist donuts, and they looked beautiful.

But usually I whip up a super easy vanilla cream cheese frosting and drizzle it across the top, like the donuts pictured here.

I’m partial to the ones with the cream cheese frosting, but then red velvet always seems to go hand in hand with a little extra sweetness.

For the cream cheese frosting you will need cream cheese (duh), butter, vanilla extract, a touch of salt, and confectioners’ sugar. You’ll want to make sure your cream cheese and butter are both very soft before beginning this process.

To bake the donuts you’re going to preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Pro tip: Make sure you generously grease your donut pan before filling the molds. If you don’t, they will stick.

Bake the donuts for 9-10 minutes, or until they’re just firm enough to spring back slightly when touched. Make sure you cool them completely before frosting them!



Don’t be surprised if you find yourself dreaming up any excuse to bake these.

Nutella & Hazelnuts Churros


NUTELLA AND HAZELNUTS CHURROS



Churros are a Spanish doughnut recipe prepared from choux pastry, the same dough that dessert items like cream puffs and éclairs are made of. The most familiar version of the churro to North Americans is the long piped doughnut, but their shapes can vary from being spiraled or straight. One of the most usual ways to eat a churro is dipped in dulce de leche or hot chocolate, which turns this sweet treat into a heavenly dessert. It is no wonder that Tessa, the author of ‘Handle the Heat’ recipe blog, decided to fill her churro recipe with Nutella hazelnut spread for a dessert that is over the top.

The most common way to make churros recipes is with a choux pastry dough, which is prepared on the stove. Choux pastry is an eggy dough that is common in French cuisine to prepare cream puffs, éclairs, and the classic French cruller recipe. The dough is so light and airy that when baked or fried, it can form a hollow in the center, which is ideal for filling with pastry cream. The ingredients for churro dough recipes are very simple, involving just six ingredients, like flour, butter, and eggs. The dough is combined on the stove with one egg being incorporated one at a time. The eggs are the most important component of a proper choux pastry recipe because they are what leaven the dough and give the dough their texture. The process for how to make churros always ends up using a piping bag and large star piping tip as well. The star piping tip allows each doughnut to have its signature crispy edges when fried in the oil.Often churro recipes will involve piping the dough directly into the oil, which sometimes result in odd shapes for the churros. For more uniform shapes, Tessa has the genius option of piping out the churro dough onto a baking sheet and chilling it so that it is firm enough to drop into the preheated oil. Every churro will end up the perfect shape rather than curved banana shapes. If desired, you can even experiment with knotting the churros or twisting them into pretty designs.




INGREDIENTS

50 grams unsalted butter

1 teaspoon sugar

Pinch salt

100 grams flour

4 tablespoons water

4 tablespoons milk

4 medium eggs

100 grams Nutella

50 grams roasted hazelnuts

2 tablespoons popping candy

2 liters oil for deep frying

50 grams caster sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon powder



DIRECTIONS

1.Place the butter in a pan with water and milk, sugar and salt.

2.Bring to boil and add the flour, beat to form a paste.

3.Gradually incorporate the eggs little by little to get a thick paste.

4.Place into a piping bag with 1.5 centimeters fluted nozzle and pipe into 4 centimeters lengths.

5.Pop this into the freezer to firm up or pipe the mixture directly into the oil, pre-heated to 160C, snipping 4 centimeters segments as you go.

6.After 2 minutes or so, drain the churros on kitchen paper and toss in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

7.Grab a straw and push all the way through.

8.Place the Nutella in a piping bag and soften for 15 seconds in a microwave.

9.Pipe the chocolate into the churros and top with hazelnuts and popping candy.

The Famous - POPCHIPS


POPCHIPS


Potato chips are deliciously addictive, but also undeniably unhealthy. This is likely the reason behind why many brands have turned to snacks that are popped or puffed as a healthier, lighter alternative. And according to Whole Foods, who named puffed and popped snacks one of 2018's top trends, new technology is behind this shift as well.

"New extrusion methods (ways of processing and combining ingredients), have paved the way for popped cassava chips, puffed pasta bow ties, seaweed fava chips and puffed rice clusters."



Original flavor Popchips

Popchips is a brand of processed potato and corn products marketed as similar to potato chips. They are manufactured by processing potato starch at high pressure and temperature, in a process similar to that used for puffed rice cakes.

The popchips people popped by the New Times office last week and left behind a basket of popchips in all flavors. I'd never had a popchip before -- I'm not much of a bagged-snack sort of guy -- but here are ten quick impressions:


1.The sour cream & onion, and sea salt & vinegar, are the two best flavors; the vinegar chips have an especially fetching tang.

2.A cheddar popchip is to a Cheez Doodle what a sausage patty is to a sausage.

3.Salt & pepper was my third favorite, although for some reason it was the first gone -- and therefore didn't make the team photo.

4.The barbecue popchips would probably be great if you like barbecue chips.

the original potato, either. It tastes too

much like a potato chip that didn't quite come out right. Whereas when

flavors are added, I think of them more as circular potato snacks

rather than as failed chips.

Sweet RoLLed Ice Cream TaCos


Sweet RoLLed Ice Cream


Rolled ice cream is a sensational Thai frozen dessert. Unlike most ice creams made ahead of time in an electronic ice cream machine, rolled ice cream—also known as stir-fried ice cream—is made to order by hand.
One of the most traditional warm-weather treats is ice cream -- a frozen mixture of cream, sugar, milk and flavorings.

The popular dessert was originated by street vendors in Thailand. This isn't an ordinary soft-serve ice cream; rather, it's rolled and hand-crafted in front of each customer

Stir-fried ice cream "I-Tim-Pad" "ไอติมผัด" in Thai, ice pan ice cream, rolled ice cream or ice cream rolls is a hand made ice cream dessert made with milk poured on an iced grill, mixed with fruit or different ingredients on the ice-pan.Stir-fried ice cream "I-Tim-Pad" "ไอติมผัด" in Thai, ice pan ice cream, rolled ice cream or ice cream rolls is a hand made ice cream dessert made with milk poured on an iced grill, mixed with fruit or different ingredients on the ice-pan.


Many people believe the dessert first became popular in the United States after the wives of early presidents served it in the White House. According to the White House Historical Association, Dolley Madison, the wife of President James Madison, served ice cream there for the first time. That was in the early 1800s.

But ice cream has changed a lot in the last 200 years.

And now, a new style of ice cream that started in Southeast Asia is spreading in the United States: rolled ice cream.
This summer, rolled ice cream could be found at street festivals from New York City to Nashville, Tennessee. At Sweet Charlie’s, a store in Philadelphia, customers often wait in line for over two hours to order their rolled ice cream.




Some people call it “Thai stir-fried ice cream.” That is because it looks like it is made on a hot grill, in the same way people cook meat and vegetables.

But the grill used for making the treat is actually extremely cold.

The ice cream “chefs” add things like cookies, candy, and even pizza into the ice cream mixture. Then, the ice cream begins to freeze. Next, the chef spreads it in a thin layer over the cold surface. After a few seconds, the chef uses a tool to scrape the ice cream off the cold surface and turn it into a roll. The rolls are then put in a cup and covered with fruit or flavored syrup.

One serving costs about six dollars in most places in the United States.

Thailand most often gets credit for the creation; a popular YouTube channel called “Ice Cream Rolls” reports that the dessert started there. Millions of people watch the channel’s latest videos each week.

DAIQUIRI - Recipe

DAIQUIRI


Daiquirí is also the name of a beach and an iron mine near Santiago de Cuba, and is a word of Taíno origin. The drink was supposedly invented by an American mining engineer, named Jennings Cox, who was in Cuba at the time of the Spanish–American War. It is also possible that William A. Chanler, a US congressman who purchased the Santiago iron mines in 1902, introduced the daiquiri to clubs in New York in that year.

Originally the drink was served in a tall glass packed with cracked ice. A teaspoon of sugar was poured over the ice and the juice of one or two limes was squeezed over the sugar. Two or three ounces of white rum completed the mixture. The glass was then frosted by stirring with a long-handled spoon. Later the daiquiri evolved to be mixed in a shaker with the same ingredients but with shaved ice. After a thorough shaking, it was poured into a chilled coupe glass.

The drink became popular in the 1940s.[citation needed] World War II rationing made whiskey and vodka hard to come by, yet because of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy rum was easily obtainable because the policy opened up trade and travel relations with Latin America, Cuba and the Caribbean. The Good Neighbor policy, also known as the Pan-American program, helped make Latin America fashionable. Consequently, rum-based drinks (once frowned upon as being the choice of sailors and down-and-outs), also became fashionable, and the daiquiri saw a tremendous rise in popularity in the US.

Speaking of summertime cocktails, the Daiquiri is a citrusy sweet marriage of rum and lime.



Ingredients

2 oz. white rum

1/2 tsp. superfine sugar

1/2 oz. lime juice


Directions

Squeeze lime into a shaker, stir in sugar, then add rum. Shake well with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

The Old Fashioned - Recipe



The Old Fashioned 




The Old Fashioned is a type of cocktail in which the primary alcohol is whiskey and is served on the rocks with some ice and is consumed  before dinner by people in general. The recipe was said to have been invented by a bartender at that club in honor of Colonel James E. Pepper, a prominent bourbon distiller, who brought it to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York City.


The Old Fashioned is a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters, then adding alcohol, originally whiskey but now sometimes brandy, and finally a twist of citrus rind. It is traditionally served in a short, round, tumbler-like glass, which is called an Old Fashioned glass, named after the drink.





The Old Fashioned is as classic as they come, and perfect for anyone who likes their whiskey drinks on the sweeter side.


Ingredients

2 oz. bourbon or rye whiskey
3 dashes Angostura bitters
1 sugar cube (or 1/2 tsp. loose sugar)
club soda

Directions

Place sugar in an Old Fashioned glass. Wet it down with Angostura bitters and a splash of club soda, then muddle. Add a large ice cube and whiskey. Stir, then garnish with an orange twist.

In a medium mixing bowl stir together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, vinegar, mustard, honey, and season with salt and pepper to taste (start with about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper then add more salt after you've added the dressing to the pasta).

Add well drained macaroni to a large mixing bowl along with eggs, bell pepper, carrots, celery and onion (if you like to have some color over you salad I like set aside some of the veggies to sprinkle over the top).
Pour dressing over top, add in parsley and toss mixture to evenly coat. Serve or store in refrigerator up to 1 day.
