Post Date: 26 April 2017


Cooking Basics 101 Concludes This Weekend


                                                            Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cakes

The third and final session of this class will meet this Saturday morning, April 29, at 10:00 AM at Lake Braddock Secondary School.  On this week’s menu is an Orange Couscous Salad, Salisbury Steak and Onions with Roasted Carrots with Lemon and Thyme, and Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cake (pictured above).  And since we are doing baking we will be discussing the roles of Baking Soda and Baking Powder in baking.
 
Cinnamon Ice Cream
 
Although summer is still a ways off, when I saw this recipe in the May issue of Food Network Magazine, I felt I should try it right away and get a head start on this year’s summer ice cream project.  It is a quick and simple recipe to make, and the best part is that it does not require an ice cream maker. You simply combine sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon in a bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until peaks form, fold the cream into the cinnamon/milk mixture, and freeze in a 9 x 13 inch glass pan.
Here is the link to the recipe:
