Sticky Toffee Pudding

Mar 24, 2007 - Johnny Depp, apparently, became very fond of sticky toffee pudding whilst filming ('The Libertine','Finding Neverland' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory') in England. So, me and Johnny have got something in common. I used to go to a really nice school who cooked everything in the kitchen, you could actually go and watch them cook in between lessons. - 9 Comments

Secret Ingredient - Bananas -- Banoffee Pie

Mar 07, 2007 - One of the many positives of having a brother who lived in London was that my mother became obsessed with recreating this desert that she had while she was there, banoffee pie (the name gets the celebrity couple treatment - banana + toffee = banoffee!). My mother made her version with a rich gourmet caramel sauce she bought, and I have read suggestions of using canned Dulce de Leche (the toffee is fussy to make from scratch). The pie is delicious, although I will pretty much eat bananas in any figuration! - 2 Comments

Fleur de Sel Caramels

Oct 19, 2009 - Inspired by the book Salty Sweets (omg, it's beautiful!) and Bi-Rite Creamery Salted Caramel Ice Cream (I had it this Summer for the first time — major sweet tooth mistake!) I set out to make salted caramels. I used the Epicurious Fleur de Sel Caramels recipe because it popped up when I Googled from the baking isle of Safeway, and borrowed a fancy candy thermometer from my mother (gee wiz, those things are fun). I was careful to not heat the mixture over 248 degrees and the treats turned out decadent and delicious. - 4 Comments
