I can't wait to try the recipes - you'll see some of them here soon (note the tabs I've already inserted for the recipes I want to take on). I'm particularly excited about this one:
It's Quick Lemon and Raspberry Cheesecake. You pound gingersnaps and hazelnuts with a rolling pin then, after mixing them with melted butter, you press them into the bottom of individual dishes. Add store-bought lemon curd. Sprinkle raspberries over the curd. Top with creme fraiche (or mascarpone or cream cheese) that has been stirred together with some sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Last but not least, grate chocolate on top.
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is my kind of "baking". Future dinner party guests can expect to see this one soon.
Eat, drink, and move to the 'burbs to make room for your cookbook collection.*
* Note to self: count how many cookbooks, reference books, and food memoirs I own. I'll share the number with y'all when I do.
