I've been making a variation of this for years. Only chocolate haters could dislike it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the ‘80s, I won $100 from Sunset Magazine for chocolate carrot cake recipe, which was simply my favorite carrot cake recipe with spice omitted and cocoa powder added. Apparently a novel idea at the time, I shared iit with a friend who had a small restaurant in MA. Gourmet Mag published it after a customer requested it in their “You Asked For It” column. Chocolate masks everything. Maybe even spinach! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voyager Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I don't either. I don't like the spice and can't handle the frosting. Chocolate works with both carrot and zucchini and probably other veg. The chocolate version needs nothing but maybe a splat of whipped cream or creme fraiche. (It's REALLY good with lightly whipped cream with a kiss of anise essence.)

voyager Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Probably so. But I WANT to taste calves liver if it’s thick-sliced and rosy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Our garden is now producing too many strawberries for us to eat fresh, meaning that we have to start freezing some of them. To make room for this year's berries in the freezer, N used some of last year's berries to make a strawberry buckle with a ginger crumb topping, based on a Serious Eats recipe. I think she was expecting something juicy, like cobbler, rather than cake, but it's very nice and isn't too sweet--good enough to be a post-dinner dessert or a breakfast item with coffee or tea.

StephanieL Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Mango pie from the NYT recipe, though I made it in a 9 x 13 pan since I don't have two pie tins. And even though I'd read the user notes, followed the recipe exactly, and made sure to soften the cream cheese and blend thoroughly, I still ended up with small lumps of cream cheese in the final mixture.

bloviatrix Posted Friday at 11:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:42 PM I made another cobbler last night with a strawberries, blueberries, rhubarb, and some sour cherries that had been sitting in the freezer since last summer. And today - SOUR CHERRY SOUP!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
