Coconut - Sesame Yoghurt Cake

I don't often get the chance to bake with eggs or large amounts of dairy at home. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind making gratuitous butter and sour cream concoctions, but since most of the family is on a diet and a lot of the other people I bake for have restricted dietary needs, the dairy/egg thing gets the kibosh more often than not. At work, there's no restriction on those two food groups when it comes to snack making, so I have a little more leeway. It is odd re-learning how to bake with eggs and dairy after so long, but I was told by a few "critics" today that I was "the bestest cook ever", so I guess it's working!

Unfortunately, being a school, there are some restrictions for allergy prevention sake - there are "less severe" allergies and intolerances (namely to raw carrots, grapes, tuna and pineapple) but we also have an anaphylactic case against sesame and nuts - which means the little one can't have the whole wheat products (high risk of sesame contamination), most store-bought "sweet" Chinese sauces like teriyaki or  hoisin, and we have to be very careful with the oils and fats we purchase. Needless to say, this cake is not coming into the building anytime soon - which is a good thing for a few others in my social circle, who have been thoroughly enjoying it!

Coconut - Sesame Yogurt Cake
Inspired by the French Yoghurt Cake in Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours, I used whole wheat pastry flour, coconut flour, coconut extract, toasted sesame oil and white sesame seeds for an exotic, moist, tender loaf cake. While my mom was gone on business, I was charged with minimizing the growth of blue or green fuzz in the fridge, which meant finding a use for the dregs of a tub of yoghurt nearing expiry, and a few eggs that had lost their carton. I don't think there can be a better use than cake!

Coconut - Sesame Yoghurt Cake
Makes 10 slices
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup non-fat plain (Greek-style) yoghurt
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or canola oil
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 cup white sesame seeds

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, beat together the sugar, yogurt, eggs, extracts and oils with a whisk until well combined and bubbly.
  3. Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ginger and stir in with a silicone spatula until the batter is smooth.
  4. Fold in the sesame seeds.
  5. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55 minutes.
  7. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then unmould onto a wire rack.
  8. Chill overnight before serving.

Whole Wheat Focaccia

After making the best focaccia ever, I was a little obsessed with the idea of making a whole-wheat focaccia that was just as good, or even better. But with all that was going on, it took me until now to actually make it. Boy, was it worth the wait!

My Whole-Wheat Focaccia is not just soft as a pillowy cloud with a divinely chewy crust, it is also a good-for-you bread that you don?t have to feel guilty about cramming down your gullet. Slice it into half and slap on some vegan mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes and you will have a delicious meal you?ll never forget. You can even eat it as is, or with some extra virgin olive oil drizzled on.

To achieve the perfect wholegrain foccacia, I put all of my trust in that stinky old mess no serious bread baker should be without, especially if he or she loves wholegrain breads: sourdough.





Sourdough elicits some strong reactions: there are those who love it and those who hate it. I kinda belong to both groups. I am not a fan of sour breads, but I do love the texture that sourdough gives breads, especially wholegrain breads. So I tread the middle path: I use just enough sourdough to give me the texture and a hint of great flavor without any of the sourness. It?s a win-win.

Sourdough also plays a valuable role in wholegrain bread-baking. It helps wholegrain breads, handicapped by their low gluten content, rise and become airy, the way high-gluten breads are. Mark Bittman of the New York Times wrote a great article last week about wholegrain baking and the important role sourdough can play in making it better. If you have never baked before with sourdough and don't know where to start, read this post from my archives to begin your own sourdough starter. It's the easiest thing to do and you will reap the rewards forever.

To give even more flavor to my already delectable foccacia, I brushed on an intoxicating medley of rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and garlic. All of these vibrant flavors infuse the bread during the baking and make it even more delicious, if possible. The oil also gives the focaccia a beautiful golden hue, making it food for the eyes as well.

This is pretty much a no-knead bread, made using the same technique from America's Test Kitchen that I used in my last focaccia recipe, so it's quite easy to make as well. I know you?re just raring to read the recipe so I won?t keep you from it anymore. Next, watch out for my dessert recipe for our Valentine?s Day countdown series: a chocolatey treat you will not be able to resist.

Enjoy, all!

Whole-Wheat Foccacia

(Makes one large loaf or two small ones)

Ingredients:

1 cup sourdough

3 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup vital wheat gluten (if you can't find this, substitute one more cup of the whole-wheat with all-purpose)

2 tsp active dry yeast

Salt to taste

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 1/4 cups warm water

For the topping:

2 tbsp finely minced rosemary

1 large clove of garlic, finely minced

1 tsp sea salt

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Mix the toppings together in a small bowl and set aside.

Mix the yeast in 1/2 cup of water and set aside to froth for five minutes.

After five minutes, add the sourdough to a large bowl. Then add the flours, oil, and the remaining water and mix with a wooden spoon or in the bowl of a stand mixer until everything comes together. This is a very sticky dough at this stage, but that is what will make this focaccia light and airy.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place in an oven with the pilot light on or in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Using an oiled spatula, turn the dough over on itself in the bowl for a total of 10 times. You don't want to deflate the dough too much so don't knead it by hand.

Turn the dough over into a large baking pan (15 by 10 inches) sprinkled with some coarse salt. Or divide in half and place each half in a 9-inch cake tin. (I used a glass baking dish which wasn't such a good idea, because the baked bread was a bear to unmold. I'd advise using a metal pan)

Press the dough gently out from the center so it reaches the sides of the pan.

Cover the pan or pans with plastic wrap and place in the oven with the pilot on for another hour or until the dough has doubled.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees at least 30 minutes before baking.

Using a fork, prick the dough all over to remove any bubbles on top. Don't go heavy-handed because you don't want to deflate the dough.

Brush the top of the bread with the rosemary-olive oil mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Remove the focaccia pan or pans from the oven and let stand on a rack for five minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and continue to cool on the rack.(C) All recipes and photographs copyright of Holy Cow! Vegan Recipes.

How to Buy and Cook Live Crab and Lobster

I may date myself by asking this: What happened to the live seafood tanks at our local supermarkets? I grew up with them and around this time of the year, they?d be filled with Maine lobsters ? ready for romantic Valentine?s Day feasts. My local Whole Foods market opened with a live tank but did away with it because there wasn?t enough demand. Over the weekend, my husband and I drove down to the harbor only to find out that that our usual source of live dungeness crab had gone out of business. There was a sign advertising live crab from a local fisherman but no one was around to sell them. My husband and I were disappointed and pissed. There were plenty of cooked...

Eating BIG in South Florida

Eating like a local:
Regional food specialties
-Cruising South in the Sunshine State for Local Eats

I was down in Florida for 12 days in December and got around while there. After some Cuban sandwiches and drinking in Tampa (report coming) we headed south. The rents have a place in Boynton Beach that my grandpa stayed at back in the day. So we were there a couple nights but you can only take so much country club living when you're not even 40 years old yet and have no interest in golf. We spent a few nights in Miami and then headed to Key West to live young. Here are some spots in South Florida I hit up.

Sheila's Famous BBQ & Conch

ImageWest Palm Beach
First off let me say we went to WPB one night for eat and drinks and the central square place or whatever it is was a freaking madhouse. It took almost an hour to get a spot in the garage and all the Lambo's and Bentley's are double parked by valet so you gotta squeeze thru them too. Away from the glitz and glamor is this great little place. Sheila is from the Bahamas and cooks like her mom used to. I didn't try the BBQ but her fried cracked conch is outstanding.

Image
Specialty of the House: Cracked Conch

La Granja

Our first night in we needed to get over to Wal-Mart for a few things and I passed by this hopping Peruvian spot in the same shopping center. It was packed with people of all races and class and the drive thru was buzzing so I said why not. I almost walked out when I saw the horrible "professional" photos of each dish but I'm glad I didn't. The spit roasted chicken was juicy and full of flavor and the seafood fried rice was fantastic. It turns out this is a local chain in South Florida and for a little while they had an outlet in Palatine of all places. Get the garlic potatoes as your side.

Big Al's Steaks

ImageDel Ray Beach
First off, wow! Del Ray Beach is a whole lot different then when I was hanging there as a kid. Atlantic Avenue is a pretty hopping spot these days huh? We enjoyed fresh oysters from City Oyster and drinks at a place whose names escapes me. Anyone who's been at a bar in a country club in Florida on NFL Sunday's knows theres tons of east coast transplants in South FLA. So theres a few cheese steak places and Big Al's was pretty good. Fresh thick sliced ribeye with good bread did the trick in the wee hours, it's open until 4a Thurs-Sat. Better than Checkers and Miami Subs. Oh and the public beach here is still one of the best in state.

LaSpada's Hoagies

ImageChester PA Style: Fresh Sliced Meats Piled High on East Coast Bread drowning in Oil
Speaking of subs or hoagies as they're called in PA here's another Pennsylvania transplant. By way of Chester this place is a popular sandwich shop with spots throughout South Florida. I stopped into one in Boca Raton and appreciated the fact the sandwich meat was sliced to order and as is key in the Sandwich state the seasoning and oils on this baby made for a required shower after eating. The large sandwich ($10) can feed four, I couldn't finish but half of mine. Some great east coast style hot cherry peppers too and I liked how they wrapped the meats, cheese and toppings with more meat. It all held together good.

The Whales Rib

ImageDeerfield Beach
The big LOL of the food world came this past year came with NYT Pete Wells' review of Guy Fieri's monstrosity in Times Square. I dont doubt its bad but there's plenty of other celeb food folk who have done alot less for small mom and pop shops than Fieri he could of bashed. I dont watch DDD but I do find he's been to and brought attention to some great places I've been thru. Another example here. We came twice in four nights including our final meal the night before heading home.

Image
I'm a BIG, BIG fan of steamed rock shrimp and these were perfect

Deerfield Beach is another fun little town with some stuff going down when the sun does. The crowd here seemed to be a little more down to earth than WPM and Del Ray with alot of surfers and younger newly transplanted couples. Whales Rib is a popular place to eat and drink for folks from all walks. They have lots of fresh seafood on special including those beautiful rock shrimp up above. We got those both times and also their famous blackened dolphin (mahi mahi) sandwich. It comes on an amazingly soft bun and is as good of a fish sandwich I've ate.

Kelly's Landing

ImageNew England Style Seafood in Fort Lauderdale
We rode up from South Beach to meet a friend of mine from college. He's from Boston and thus a big Patriots fan so we met up with him at his local watering hole on gameday that Sunday night. Kelly's is located in a strip mall but dont let that deter you. Alot of places down here are. It's got the vibe of what you'd picture a popular place to eat and drink in New England has. Hell even the waitress was from NE and had the thick accent to prove it. The place was hopping with older folks from the area that transplant down there for winter.

Image
Connecticut Style Lobster Roll (served hot)

She went with the roll and I went with a favorite of mine you dont find everywhere, the fried clams. I got a bite of the roll which was good. The bun just ok but they didn't skimp on the meat and it was sweet. It had been forever since I had fried clams again after the first time I tried them at Woodman's in Essex, MA back in college. But with the opening of New England Seafood Company in Chicago I've been eating them alot more of late. These from Kelly's were comparable to theirs and cost a little less since they're just down the coast.

Image

Southport Raw Bar

ImageFort Lauderdale
Located in the strip mall next to the strip mall where Kelly's is at is Southport Raw Bar. We stopped into here afterwards on my friends rec of it being the cheapest raw bar in the city and thus one of the freshest since they have constant traffic. The oysters and steamed little necks were a nice dessert cap after dinner.

Image ImageOysters on the Half Shell and Steamed Clams__________________________________________________

Jamaica Kitchen

ImageMiami
Another spot which that Guy from Food Network has been too. I saw this episode randomly and wanted to check it out. This is a Jamaican Chinese restaurant. ICYDK Jamaica has a decent Chinese population and the owners of this places parents went to Jamaica from China. So the owners are Chinese but born and raised in the Jamrock. They speak in a patois slang and it's just kind of funny at first, especially if not expecting it. Like the Southern slang used by the people with Chinese ancestors in the Mississippi Delta. I tried the extra spicy beef patty and the heat was real. Also one of their signature Jamaican/Chinese eats the pork belly and ham choy. Excellent.

Chef Creole Seafood Takeout

ImageLittle Haiti (Miami)
Another place I've seen on TV (No Reservations) and was told by a friend to go to. This is Haitian Cuisine. There are several Chef Creole locations in Miami as the owner has built a name brand for himself but the original seafood takeout in the Little Haiti neighborhood is best. It feels like a seafood shack in the Caribbean. While it is takeout they do have a shaded outdoor area with tables and chairs to sit down and eat at. We went with the whole fried fresh snapper and their famous seasoned shrimp.

Image
Whole Fried Snapper

This picture was taken before I dumped my cup of sauce and fresh sliced onions and pikliz, a hot Haitian relish, on it. So it may look plain from here but with all that added on it was pretty heavenly and "hella" fresh man. Their shrimp and its seasoned batter was even better. I think I paid a little over $20 for all that and the people working the place were great. The man himself, Chef Creole was there making sure we were happy. I'll be back when I return.

Image

Fritay

ImageLittle Haiti (Miami)
Not far from Chef Creole is Fritay. I said "what the hey" and decided to try this place too. It's indoors but they one table. From behind the glass they have a steam table of whats on their small menu. Fritay means fried and their fried chicken was named best in Miami by the Miami New Times. I guess that was before Yardbird, it was ok. The fried pork was ok too but the fried acre and sides with them were great. the acre tasted like potato pancakes to me. This place too was super cheap and they sold their pikliz by the bottle so I got a few of those to go home with.

Image

El Mago de las Fritas

ImageLittle Havana (Miami)
Long on my radar I've actually never had a frita cubana in Florida. I've made them but now can come to understand that just like a good Cuban sandwich, you need a certain type of bread for these. This place is a popular pick for many including the President. Mago himself was there and he made my frita which is a Cuban take on the hamburger. It comes with a seasoned beef/pork blended patty with shoestring potatoes and onions added on in between some really good bread. I loved it.

The Yardbird

ImageSouth Beach
Well after three days (with a GF) in South Beach, I was about ready to leave. It's like Vegas in that it's fun for a a little bit but that's all you need. There's all sorts of people trying to get you to come in to their happy hour deals which they say is 2 for 1 but that's by the round. So you end up paying $32 for four super sweet drinks. The crafted cocktail scene hasn't really hit South Beach but Yardbird is the exception. Its not up to the levels of Violet Hour, Barrelhouse etc... but they mix some good drinks and at $11 you're paying that everywhere around here. Might as well be good.

Image
One of the only spots to get a decent cocktail South Beach

Anything with peach and bourbon is good by me so I was sipping down on a concoction with those on both visits. I had camera problems as mine jammed while down here and I didn't get it fixed until the last night when I played rough with it. But we ordered the chicken biscuits drizzled in honey twice because they were as good as hyped. The fried chicken here is also really good and that talk has got them a location coming in NYC. What about Chicago?!?!?!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies aka Plow Payment


Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookies

Well we made it through the blizzard. The snow starting falling mid-morning on Friday and didn't stop until Saturday early morning. At some points it was coming down as fast as 3-4 inches an hour. Combine that with 50-60 mile an hour winds and you have yourself a pretty intense Nor'easter.

We didn't lose power, which we were very thankful for. On Saturday 184,000 homes here were without power, which means without heat! Yikes!

When we woke up Saturday morning there was a lot of snow...I mean a whole lot. I've lived in Rhode Island my whole life, experienced the blizzard of '78, but I don't ever remember seeing this much snow. We had to open the front door in the morning just to be able to see outside. Snow had drifted up to most of the windows. The doors were snowed in too, so we ventured out to the garage to get out. We measured 31 inches when we opened the garage door. I have a picture to prove it.

31

John shoveled a path to my birdfeeders. They were swarming around his head trying to get to the seed. We filled our feeders up 3 times! Hungry birdies. Most of them were perched on the gazebo frame waiting their turn.

birds

That fence you see covered in snow is about 4 feet tall.

Blizzard 23

We were offically snowed in.

It took all day to shovel us out. It's times like this when having teenage boys comes in mighty handy. They worked on uncovering the back door.

Blizzard 24

Here's a little before and after.

2013-02-08

There was a whole deck under all that snow.

Luckily we have wonderful neighbors who have a plow. Our friend Tom came and did the end of the driveway for us, saving us hours of shoveling.

What does Tom ask for in payment for plowing?

COOKIES!

I can handle that. I happily spent the day inside cooking and baking. Tom got a plate full of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and some Blueberry Banana Bread (post coming!).

We were happy and he was happy. Win win!

We spent the afternoon relaxing. John was pooped. The rest of my day pretty much looked like this:

afternoon


I cuddled up in my blanket. John snoozed on the couch. I drank tea. I read magazines. I lit candles. It was perfect.

I love a snow day.

Here's the recipe for the cookies. They made the day even more perfect.


Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookies 1


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened but still cool
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Oven to 350 degrees. Adjust oven racks to low and middle positions. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Cream together the butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then mix in the vanilla.

Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula, then stir in the oats and chocolate chips.

Using 2 heaping tablespoons per cookie, roll the dough into balls and place on the cookie sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookie edges are just turning golden brown, but the middles are still quite pale, about 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the sheets from front to back and top to bottom halfway through the baking time. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool for at least 30 minutes. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
