Chocolate Eclairs with Pastry Cream Filling

March 1, 2012 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 13 Comments
eclairs

As a child, my father worked as a route salesman for Entenmann’s; there was never a shortage of eclairs in our home. A delicious indulgence that was readily available–but never made in my own kitchen, until now. I’ll admit, these challenges have become true challenges for me lately. Between working two jobs, house hunting, playing … [Read more…]

Strawberry Macarons with Prosecco and Orange Flower Water Buttercream

February 1, 2012 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 15 Comments
strawberry macarons with Prosecco and Orange Flower Water buttercream

I have a confession to make: This isn’t the first time I’ve made macarons. It’s not the second time either. I’m such a fraud! I had no problem attempting them again, however, because macarons are something that require practice in order to reach perfection–and I am nowhere near that point yet. Case in point. Yeah. … [Read more…]

Instead of giving up, though, you beat your problem into submission, smooth it all out, and with a … [Read more…]

A Call to Join Us in First on the First!

First on the First

Those of you who have been here for a while should be familiar with First on the First. It all began with a list of goals–a sort of anti-resolutions list of resolutions to ring in 2011. No plan had come to form: I simply had an idea of some culinary feats I wanted to accomplish … [Read more…]

Sourdough with Food Babbles

December 1, 2011 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 4 Comments
sourdough loaf cut up

I’ll admit, I was a little cocky when I added sourdough to my list of goals for this year. I had successfully raised a wild yeast culture before. I baked with it for a few months. The only reason why I no longer have it was the old “out of sight, out of mind” adage–it … [Read more…]
