Pate a Choux w/ Vanilla Pastry Cream
The other day i was hungry for eclairs , without the chocolate ganache . For some reason , the ganache makes it too rich , although , you’ve seen eclairs that are sold in the bakery usually are covered with chocolate ganache . I prefer the ones without the ganache . The pate a choux itself is already yummy , the vanilla cream is sweet enough and it’s just perfect that way . view full post »

Maple Dijon Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon
I think i have mentioned before that i am not so fond of cooking fish . My husband does the fish and they ALWAYS turn out delicious . Lately though , since we’ve moved down south , the temporary place we’re living , don’t have that much kitchen space . I think that’s why i cook most of the time , we usually enjoy cooking together , but due to the small space of the kitchen , i will have to handle 99% of the cooking . view full post »

Otherwise , boiling , steaming , baking , to me , needs to be red or yukon . view full post »
