What Is That Amazing Smell I'm Smelling?

Is what you're smelling a Georgia peach cobbler?



Than I'm your guilty Georgia peach =D!

Very simple to make and really delicious, very fruity but the pastry makes it richer and I just love crusts <3!

Life Itself is the Proper Binge

- Julia Child

I'm going to watch Julie and Julia Child today! So in that honor I made a cup pie! I got it from the movie Waitress. And in that movie there's this amazing sounding pie where it's bitter, BITTER chocolate melted in hot, MOLTEN caramel. The waitress in the film creates pies based on the life and what she's feeling at the moment. And I think the bitterness of the chocolate is really good representation when you're just utterly depressed but the caramel gives you some hope because after the chocolate you have a pleasant sweetness that's just wonderful~

So follow over to see what happens when this:

Pie is Home~ And People Always Come Home~

Quoted from the Piemaker from Pushing Daisies <3!

I finally made the penultimate Pushing Daisies pie! The famed pear with Gruyere baked into the crust! I also made a brioche! BY HAND!!!!!!!! D=!!!!!! Always going to use the stand mixer next time! It is quite hard doing it manually *kisses stand mixer*!

What is This?! A POST?!?!?!?!?!

=O! Gasp! I know I'm shocked too. Been really neglecting this place ^_^"!

What is the most perfect bread in the world? A perfect crescent of warm buttery layers piled lightly on top of each other. Delightfully crunchy, aromatic outer shell and a soft, sweet, chewy innards?


Yea...

Ferrero Rocher Cake, Like the Chocolate, But in Cake =D!

So much labor, excruciating, excruciation labor...*fetals position*

It tastes like it's namesake, hence it's name...I was hoping for something more revolutionary but I suppose this is fine, a crowd pleaser I suppose.

Pie in the Sky

The World Is My Scallop! I Will Eat Congee! A Double Whammy!

I finally made scallops! Simply fried in clarified butter. Really simple and they tasted great. They are best made simply, and you MUST use naturally dry scallops (or diver scallops they are also called) because the other stuff don't give you a nice crust. Fresh scallops just taste sweet and like the sea but in a good way~



And since I haven't updated in a while, there's more! I didn't take picture cause I was pissed off half way through I made chicken congee, much better than the ones in restaurant in my opinion.
