Still cooking.

Just haven't posted much lately. I've been trying out several recipes. I found two really good ones in the latest Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine- French Onion Mac and Cheese, and an Eggplant Parmesan Pizza. They should be up on the website in a couple of weeks, so I won't post them here. I will say that both are keepers- the Mac and Cheese is to die for. It's my new favorite pasta dish. It's just what it sounds like- French Onion soup flavors in pasta form, with carmalized onions and Gruyere cheese (I also used ordinary Swiss).

The pizzas were thinly sliced eggplant and fresh mozzerella cheese on chibata bread, with fire roasted tomatoes. I used French bread instead, and for the non-eggplant loving members of the family (me), I used salami.

I love this magazine!

Mom gave me a new cookbook- Swedish cakes and cookies. There are some very interesting recipes in it. I gave the "Princess Torte" a try:





It's a layered sponge cake with custard and whipped cream in between the layers, covered with a thin coating of tinted marzipan. Fairly simple- any recipe for sponge cake and custard could be used for it.
