Leek and Acorn Squash Tarts; French class

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 5, 2012 by KateAugust 10, 2013

I had an extra leek in the house (didn’t need it for the lasagne) and I had one, last, small acorn squash left. A little tart seemed like just the thing. You do remember I’m rather fond of Small Plates.…  Leek and Acorn Squash Tarts Total time: 45 minutes  Ingredients: 1 small acorn squash, cut in half, seeds removed 1 small leek, sliced 2 tsp olive oil 1/4 cup creme … Continue reading →

Acorn Squash and Shallot Tarts

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 31, 2012 by KateOctober 4, 2017

Warning: serious and / or thought-provoking post to follow.  Read at your own risk. But first….. A few weeks ago I saw a great recipe, somewhere, on a blog, that I, of course, bookmarked…. Or so I thought. It was strudel-like, made with acorn squash, ricotta cheese and pine nuts. I decided to make it. I couldn’t find it I have no idea where I saw the recipe – if … Continue reading →

Avocado Truffle Tarts

Thyme for Cooking Posted on May 4, 2012 by KateAugust 11, 2013

A year ago we were getting ready to leave for our reunion in Italy. While we were in Italy, I bought some truffles.   When we got home, I put them in my pantry and admired them often. It was time to use them (Ya think?) I wanted something creamy, something mild, to let the truffle be the star. I mashed half of a ripe avocado with a bit of … Continue reading →

Pimiento and Goat Cheese Strudel, working with phyllo

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 13, 2011 by KateAugust 11, 2018

My first introduction to phyllo dough was Baklava. It's still, IMHO, the best possible use for it, even if it's so sweet it makes my teeth hurt and I can only tolerate a piece once a year….. It's still a D.O. (Digestive Org*sm). I would never, ever consider making Baklava. The only possible way would be if I could figure out how to make it in a single serving size. … Continue reading →

Mushrooms in Brown Sauce on Puff Pastry; the update

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 3, 2011 by KateOctober 4, 2017

Did you hear cursing this past week? Mon mari was plumbing. He hates plumbing. According to him, he has enough plumbing parts to start his own store. According to him, if he needs a specific part to finish the job he never has that exact piece. He’ll have to go to the store. And the store will be closed. It will either be the 2-hour lunch closing, a half day … Continue reading →

Butternut Squash Pastry with Chorizo; the update

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 13, 2010 by KateOctober 1, 2017

Let me show you our plan.  It may take a bit of imagination, but keep your eye on the scaffolding and the ladder to help stay oriented. The first photo is taken from the master bedroom doorway, looking straight down the hall to the door going into the barn (purple arrow).  The barn door leeds to a flight of decrepit stairs.  Both the door and the stairs will be replaced, … Continue reading →

Asparagus Pastries with Tarragon Cream; Eating with your fingers; Weekly Menu Plan

Thyme for Cooking Posted on May 7, 2010 by KateOctober 4, 2017

Do you eat asparagus with your fingers? Or with a knife and fork? One properly eats it with one's fingers, according to the etiquette guidelines. Except, of course, if it's dripping with butter or sauce that would make a proper mess.  Then you may use your knife and fork. I know this; I've known it for some years, actually.   But the first time I was at a 'proper' dinner party … Continue reading →
