Smörgåstårta Recipe (Sandwich Layer Cake)

How much fun does this look?
Check out the recipe here and here. 

Reminds me that @itbitme and I still have to try making a Timpano!!! 

Modernist Cuisine – mostly no Photoshop

When I first saw this series of books, I assumed it was almost all retouching that produced the amazing cut-away photograpy – but alas, as this Ted talk shows, the majority of imagery is a result of actually sawing dishware and appliances in half! Pretty cool.

Watch several other videos on the book here.

Read a great article about Nathan Myhrvold, the book's co-author, and the former CTO of Microsoft, here.

Jeni's Splendid Ice-Creams At Home: The Book

The last two weeks have been a bit rough at work and so @itbitme decided to cheer me up with a wee preezie when I arrived home today. How lucky am I? :)

Jeni's Splendid Ice-Creams At Home is a book that catalogues Jeni's 15 year history of making all manner of ice-creams in her bakery / creamery.

I'm super excited to try:

♥  Grapefruit Hibiscus Frozen Yogurt

♥  Wildberry Lavender Ice Cream

♥  Toasted Rice Ice Cream with a Wiff of Coconut & Black Tea

♥  Earl Grey & Cherries Ice Cream

♥  Cucumber, Honeydew & Cayenne Frozen Yogurt

♥  Star Anise Ice Cream with Candied Fennel Seeds

♥  Sweet Potato Ice Cream with Torched Marshmallows

 
Stay tuned – experiments will be documented!

In the meantime, here's a cute video about JSIC:

 

 

Next recipe to try: Quinoa Burgers

I could eat quinoa everyday – I find it so satistfying and crunchy.

Found this recipe on Jason Hudson's great blog: The Roving Eyes. It's from Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson

 

Spicy heirloom radish salad

 
I'm going to make this tomorrow! Found on Design Sponge.

Time to make the donuts

Wow – don't these look amazing? They remind me of the kind my family made when I was a child. Will have to try this recipe pronto!
