Horn of Pastry

Hello!
I made a Horn of Patsry - "This puff pastry horn is simply oozing with lime flavoured filling."
And it was! I really made it ooze lime filling from its end :P
It was very simple to make, just an average puff pastry cone, baked, and then filled with a lime custard. Delish! Enjoy!

Green Tea Slushie

Hello!

Green Tea Slushie - This green tea slushie is sure to keep your Neopet wide awake. Well... I'm not really sure about that but I can say it is amazingly refreshing and delicious :D

Make a cup or two of your favourite green tea and make it sweet to your taste. Let it cool completely and put it in a container with a lid. You will need to put this in the freezer so make sure the liquid doesn't touch the lid and doesn't come out of the container.

Now, every one hour and a half or two hours you need to check on it and scratch it completely with a fork to break the ice crystals. Even if just a small amount of liquid is frozen, you need to break it! So you keep doing this every hour and a half / two hours until there is no liquid left and all you have is a beautiful granita/slushie. Serve it and enjoy! ^_^

Entering a brief Hiatus - Orange Smothered Swiss Roll

Hello!
My life is taking a few turns and, as much as I want to do everything, I need to establish priorities. I need to put this lovely and yummy blog to a brief hiatus when it comes to recipes. I will keep uploading posts of Neopian food whenever I can but from now on without recipe, just a quick description of the food.
Now, why the hiatus and what turn did my life take?
I am actually going to start on Monday, October the 15th, a cuisine and pastry course :D I am really excited about it and I am determined to finish it with very good marks! Please wish me luck!
So, here it is, I am just going to perfect the art of cooking ^_^
Here are some Orange Smothered Swiss Roll - Two Tangy orange flavoured sponge rolls smothered in a sticky orange sauce.
For the sponge I used my go-to recipe for Christmas Log but added orange zest to the batter. I then used chocolate spread (Nutella like) for the filling and sprinkled some more orange zest on it. After rolling, I smothered the little swiss rolls with an orange sauce made with natural orange juice, orange zest, a bit of sugar and cornstarch to thicken it up :D. I hope you like it!

Omelette Monday - Bacon Omelette

Hello!
Today is omelette day!
Lets make a Bacon Omelette - For the carnivorous omelette eater, a bacon omelette is sure to please any Neopet!
You will need the following:
- frying pan
- bit of oil (if needed)
- 2 eggs + splash of milk
- 6 or 7 slices of bacon
- salt and pepper to taste
Lets prepare the ingredients: cut the bacon slices in half and, in a bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk and a pinch of salt (have in mind that bacon is already salty). Heat the frying pan in medium-low heat. Put in the bacon and cook it a bit. Cook to taste but leave 3 or 4 pieces less crispy and a bit softer. Remove to a plate and set aside. If the bacon released enough fat you don't need to add more oil to the pan, otherwise add a bit of oil. Put in the beaten eggs and let them coagulate a bit. Add in the bacon (but save those less cooked pieces plus 2 more, all for garnish) to one side of the omelette, season with pepper and let it coagulate more until it's almost done. When it's almost done, fold the omelette in half. Let it cook for a further 1 or 2 minutes and turn off the heat. Serve, garnished with the remaining pieces of bacon. Enjoy!

Omelette Monday - Ham and Cheese Omelette

Hello!
It's Omelette Monday time! Lets still keep it simple with a Ham and Cheese Omelette - Everyone loves ham and cheese right?
So, unless you don't like cheese, or you don't like ham, that description is totally correct! Lets do it!
You will need:
- frying pan
- bit of oil
- 2 eggs + splash of milk
- 3 slices of ham (I used chicken ham)
- a handful of cheese of choice (one that melts - cheddar, mozzarella, emmental, gouda...) + a slice for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Start by grating the cheese or cutting it into small cubes. Set aside.
In a bowl whisk the eggs with the milk, add a pinch of salt (don't forget cheese and ham are already somewhat salty) and mix everything very well.
Heat a bit of oil in a frying pan on medium-low heat, put in the beaten eggs and allow to start to coagulate. When this happens, spread the grated or cubed cheese on one side of the omelette, and tear two slices of the ham into pieces and scatter them on that side of the omelette too. Season with pepper, reduce the heat to low and allow to cook a bit more. When the omelette is almost done, fold it in half, place the slice of cheese on top of it, turn of the heat and cover for the cheese to melt. Serve with the remaining ham slice teared into pieces and scattered on top. Enjoy!

Extra Cheesy Cheddar Crisps

Hello!
Today I bring you the Extra Cheesy Cheddar Crisps! - "Made from a secret faerie recipe passed down for generations. How do they make them so cheesy"
Of course you don't have to make them in that shape, that lovely faerie wings shape. I had to for the sake of this food but, believe me, I've only made a few for the photos, the rest were cut the way I desired :P Or else I would still be cutting them today XD
Anyway! You will need:
- pan for deep frying + enough oil to do it
- rolling pin
- kitchen paper
- 1 and 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup of flour + more as needed
- 1 medium potato boiled
- 50 gr. butter
Start by mashing the potato into a bowl, very well mashed, or use a potato ricer (very handy here). Then add the rest of the ingredients: the cheese, the flour and the butter and use your hands to mix everything together very well so it forms a uniform dough.
Now form two or three balls or disks with the dough, which will be kind of sticky, wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes you will work with each piece of dough at a time. Put a bit of flour on a surface and roll the dough out to 5 mm thick. Cut the dough as desired (for the faerie wing shape I used a cardboard mold I drew myself, I would put the mold (wrapped with plastic wrap) on top of the rolled dough and I would cut along side it... as you may imagine, this was time consuming so then I changed the shape) but keep the pieces small, the size of potato chips is fine. Repeat the process for the other pieces of dough.
Put the frying pan with the oil on the stove and let it heat enough for deep frying. In the meanwhile line a plate with kitchen paper and set aside. When the oil is hot and ready, drop a few chips in the oil and they will be done in no time so pay close attention! Turn them on the other side to brown both sides equally and when they are golden brown, remove them with a slotted spoon to the plate with the kitchen paper to drain the excess oil. Repeat until you have no dough left. Serve as you wish but above all, enjoy!

Omelette Monday - Bacon and Broccoli Omelette

Hello!
Omelette Monday is here! Lets make an omelette! More specifically... lets make a Bacon and Broccoli Omelette - "One of a Skeiths favourite foods, the Bacon and Broccoli omelette covers all main food groups".
You will need:
- frying pan
- bit of oil (if needed)
- 2 eggs + splash of milk
- some frozen broccoli florets (about 6 or 7 - you can use fresh broccoli, in that case you have to boil them until they're cooked) 
- 5 or 6 slices of bacon
- salt to taste 
Start by scalding the broccoli florets. In a pot with boiling water, let them boil for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, cut one or two very finely and set aside.
Cook and prepare the bacon. Put the frying pan on medium-low heat and place the bacon slices on it. Let is cook a little but no need to crisp it up. After the bacon has released some of its fat and gained a bit of colour, turn off the heat and remove it from the pan. Cut most of the slices in thin strips but cut 2 or 3 slices just in half for garnish. 
Now break the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk and season with a pinch of salt. Beat all together very well.
Put the same frying pan on medium-low heat and, if it has enough fat from the bacon you don't need to add more oil, otherwise just add in a bit of oil and put the beaten eggs in. When the egg starts to coagulate on the sides, add in the bacon cut in strips and the finely cut broccoli to only one side of the omelette. Let it cook a bit more to coagulate the eggs almost entirely. When the eggs are almost cooked, fold the omelette, remove from the heat and put it on a plate. Serve garnished with the rest of the broccoli florets and the bacon halves. Enjoy!
