Slashfood in the Kitchen: Birthday cake from scratch

It's time for another original episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen with Marisa (that's me!) and Scott. This time we make a classic yellow birthday cake from scratch and top it with a chocolate seven minute frosting. It's a quick and delicious way to make someone feel loved on their special day and do it in no time at all.

The cake recipe came from my copy of the Gourmet Cookbook (the big yellow one that came out a few years ago) but you can also find the recipe here on Epicurious.com. I used this seven minute frosting recipe, also from Epicurious, and added in 2 ounces of melted unsweetened bakers' chocolate at the end.

Slashfood in the Kitchen: Quick weeknight dinner

After a four-and-a-half month hiatus, Slashfood in the Kitchen is back! (I'm sure that you have leaped out of your seat and are cheering upon reading this). This time Scott and I make a quick weeknight dinner that is easy to throw together, tastes pretty darn good and is relatively healthy to boot. We start out with an easy pasta dish much like the ones so many of us grew up eating (pasta, bell peppers, onions, ground beef and tomatoes) and finish things off with some sauteed Swiss Chard (one of the quickest cooking veggies around). Best part of it was that it made enough for two nights' worth of dinner (if you have more than two people in your household, your mileage will vary).

Apple Walnut Muffins from a much-maligned book

More than once, I've been caught saying nasty things about my 1997 edition of the Joy of Cooking. It's not that there's anything inherently bad about that volume, I just happened to grow up with one printed in the early seventies (white dust jacket, turquoise fabric cover) and love that one totally because it is so deeply familiar to me. However, last night I had to swallow all my heartless words, because the '97 version came through for me big time.

Last week I went apple picking. Scott and I picked a full bushel of apples. I've made apple sauce, apple crisp, apples with yogurt, eaten about 15 out of hand and still the box of apples doesn't seem to be visibly reducing. So I went looking for a recipe for a baked good that uses apples. I was hoping for a quick bread or muffin recipe that was low in fat, used several apples and tasted good. And I found it. The muffins came out light, tender and amazingly delicious (ate two as soon as they were cool enough to touch). This one is getting copied down and is going in the file. The recipe is after the jump.

Slashfood in the Kitchen: Episode 2

Just when you were wondering what to do with all those apples you picked over the weekend, Scott and I come to your rescue with a couple of yummy suggestions. We trekked out to Linvilla Orchards in Media, PA to pick a bushel of apples (literally) and then brought them back to my kitchen. We made a pot of applesauce, a recipe so easy that you don't really need a recipe at all and a pan of juicy, oatmeal topped apple crisp. So watch, enjoy and go eat an apple.

If you missed it, make sure to check out the first episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen that premiered last week where we made brussels sprouts and a couscous salad. If that doesn't satisfy your cravings for food video starring Scott and me, make sure to head over to Fork You where it all started.

Buckwheat honey and u-pick apples

Last fall I went apple picking with a friend at Linvilla Orchards, a u-pick farm in Media, PA that also offers hay rides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, strolling clowns and a cluster of year-round carnival-type food stands. In addition to the u-pick options, they also have a farm market in which they sell produce, jams, jellies, candies and other homey goods.

Last year I picked up a small jar of Buckwheat Honey there. I didn't think much of it other than it was far darker than the other honey options and for some reason that appealed to me. When I got it home, I discovered that it had a deep flavor that was drastically different from your standard grocery store wildflower honey and I was totally hooked. I rationed that jar, making it last nearly nine months before I finally hit the bottom.

On Tuesday Scott and I went out to Linvilla once again, in order to pick apples and film the beginning to the next episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen. After two hours on the farm, we had picked a full bushel of apples and I had dragged him through the market so that I could get another jar of the Buckwheat Honey. I bought a larger jar this year and have already greatly enjoyed it drizzled on top of a bowl of yogurt and homemade apple sauce.

Slashfood in the Kitchen: Episode 1

Some of you may know that I make an online cooking show called Fork You with my friend Scott (of TUAW fame). Well we've taken our witty banter and channeled it into a new show called "Slashfood in the Kitchen" for your viewing pleasure. In this first episode, we make roasted brussels sprouts and a couscous salad, two recipes that I posted about recently here at Slashfood.

If the quality of the episode is a little wonky, fear not, a high resolution version will be coming your way soon.

(Slashfood in the Kitchen is brought to you by Tassimo, a cup for your every desire).
