Cheesy Gooey Luxury

So I'm sort of stuck in the dark ages of e-mail i use Yahoo .. at least some people say it's the dark ages. The one thing i love about yahoo is the news stories on my way to my dreaded e-mail.
not sure why but i dread opening e-mails.

However those news stories are great... especially when they're about grilled cheese.

So there is a restaurant in NYC called Serendipity 3 and they serve a 214.00$ grilled cheese. I repeat a 214.00$ GRILLED CHEESE.

The Quintessential Grilled Cheese features layers of the extremely rare Caciocavallo Podolico cheese which is aged in special caves. 
The bread itself is baked using Dom Perignon Champagne and brushed with truffle oil that contains flecks of edible gold. White truffle butter is also smothered on the slices before its stuck on the grill.
The extravagant snack must be ordered at least 48 hours in advance to give chefs at the exclusive Serendipity 3, based in New York, plenty of time to prepare the masterpiece. 
Its edges are then covered in 24-carat gold leaf and the sandwich is served with a tomato and lobster bisque which is presented in a baccarat crystal glass.
How insane is this. 

I so desperately want to try this sandwich ... especially since I'm currently starving. Ha!

Featured below are some of the photos of this glorious masterpiece.

Meals of the Great: Results

Ok so about a week ago i wrote the post Meals of the Great, this is the follow up - the result.
If you haven't read it just click here.

Ok to start here are the images of the Bell Jar meal. Esther Greenwood and her obsession with avocados encouraged me to make Crab stuffed avocados.

Recipe 
1 Large pear avocado
5 oz Fresh crab
Grape tomatoes
Celery
Scallion
Mayonnaise
Curly italian parsley
1/2 Tsp of paprika

Start by draining the crab meat.Then chop it up into little pieces.Then chop up all the ingredients seen up above.Mix it all together.

Note: i didn't really measure how many tomatoes or celery i put in etc... i just judged how busy the mixture looked, and depending on what you prefer you can alter the recipe slightly.


Secondly, was the first meal from Ernest Hemingways Garden of Eden- David Bourne eats a delicious breakfast of Soft Boiled Eggs with Fresh Raspberry Preserve and Brioche.

Recipe
2 Large eggs
3 Slices of brioche
2 Tablespoons of raspberry preserve
2 Squares of fresh butter

Start by boiling water, when water is boiled put the eggs (shell still on) in the water.
While the eggs are boiling toast the bread, we want everything ready at the same time.
Prepare your raspberry jam in a little dish.
After 6 minutes the eggs will be done.
Remove them from the water and place them in egg cups.
When the toast is buttered, break the tops of the eggs and start dipping that bread!


Lastly is the meal David Bourne eats once his marriage has essentially fallen apart. He eats a very manly meal of Plat aver Jambon and English Mustard.
So the meal can be interpreted a couple different ways, i interpreted it as such.

Recipe
2 Slices of egg bread
2 Fresh slices of ham
1/2 Cup of vinegar
2 Tbp of english or hot mustard
1 Large egg

Ok so, i poured the vinegar into a pot of water and brought it to a boil. The vinegar will help bind the egg. Then i cracked the egg into the water, Note: keep the egg gently swishing in the pot, otherwise it will cling to the bottom of the pot. While your swishing the egg roast the ham in a pan. Make the slices nice and thin (this is my preference) while all of this is going on you should be toasting the bread. 
Remove the egg after about 3 minutes.
Butter the bread, remove the ham, put some mustard into a jar and get ready to enjoy.


 To make everything better here was my little helper. Don't worry she didn't taste test , she just encouraged :)

Happy cooking

Winter soups for the soul

So Winter is upon us and needless to say some of us don't love it. One of the hardest parts of winter , other than leaving the house, is eating right. We all let our inner bear shine through and we eat our faces off.
One of my favourite foods during the winter ... and well... the summer,  is soup. 
It's a healthy smorgasbord in a bowl, and it's incredibly easy to make. 
So here is a great chart that I personally love that will help you eat right and eat warm during the winter. 
psssst my fave is the coconut curry.



Happy feasting.
