So I woke up this morning to a text exchange going on between my husband and our dear friends Richard and Garrett, who will be flying down from New York just in time to beat this horrific snowstorm that is slated to pounce on the entire northeast. Words of excitement over their arrival were passed around by all of us along with a lot of martini emojis… Like, A LOT of martini emojis.

Therein lies my inspiration for today’s Thirsty Thursday post.

In promising the boys that I would devote time in my kitchen to coming up with a few new martini recipes, I started to think about things I had in my refrigerator that I could use (you’d be surprised what you can come up with if you limit yourself to ingredients you already have in your home).

Chocolate Orange Cream Tart

looks amazing!!!

The lastest contest at Food52 is all about tarts, Your Best Tart to be exact, I have to say that making pies and tarts is something I love doing, I put my thinking cap on because I wanted to come up with a recipe that was a little different and creative. Buttery pastry with an assortment of fillings whether sweet or savory is comfort food at it’s best IMHO. I was already in the cream or curd mode after making the scones so I whipped up another batch just using oranges and tangerines, it has substance from the addition of cream cheese which give a little tang also, the crust is adapted from Martha Stewarts recipe for Pate Sucré. The combination of chocolate and orange has always been one of my all time favorite flavor combinations so I covered the orange cream with a ganache gently flavored with orange thanks…

A Restoring Ginger, Cabbage & Miso Broth

Something Clean Something Green

Winter seems to be dragging endlessly, with no end in sight. It’s still dark by 5pm and that’s all rather boring by now. So I wanted to create something simple and perfect for this time of year. This is a broth yes, but not in the traditional sense; more of a broth-meets-ramen idea, with seasonal cabbage taking the place of noodles. One of my goals in 2016 is to try and use more seasonal fruit and veg, and this restoring & comforting broth is perfect to enjoy on a cold winters day. I used sweetheart cabbage, but feel free to use savoy cabbage or whatever you fancy and bulk it out with rice noodles too if you’re so inclined. Treat this recipe as a starting point, and make it your own!
