About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Chunky Apple Walnut CakeFrom: The Silver Palate Cookbook (reviewed 31st December 2010)Delicious and moist. I am always asked for the recipe. I bake it in a 9 X 13" pan instead of a round cake pan. I also substitute Amaretto for the Calvados. I do not always have all the ingredients for the Apple Cider glaze and it is very forgiving with substitutions. High Altitude (1 mile): Increase temperature to 350, keep eggs cold and don't over beat, decrease baking soda to 3/4 tsp, remove 3 TLBS sugar, and add 2 TLBS of cider. There is a large amount of oil, and the cake seems a little greasy, but I have not experimented with reducing it. Pink Lady apples were flavorful and added some character to the cake. |
