"StickyGooeyChef" news and stories

This edible feast is predominantly about texture -- not that the artful arrangement isn't almost too perfect to disturb by consumption. This slow-cooked salmon recipe from stickygooeycreamychewy.com is salmon at its finest, attractively plated with lush, buttery layers melting, fragmenting, crumbling at the mere touch.

Tenderly cradled atop an aromatic layer of sliced oranges and onions, fennel and tarragon, the fish is baked at a low temperature for half an hour. Unlike the bland color and taste that can result from more traditional cooking methods, this unfussy recipe manages to preserve the vibrant tones of the salmon as well as its shape, while dishing up a luscious product. Plus, with the extra time slow cooking affords you, you can prepare your side or salad -- and even enjoy a glass of wine.

In her free time, my Aunt Doris would often whip up 10 or 12 dozen batches of canapes or appetizers. When her giant chest freezer in the basement was filled to bursting, she'd switch to her signature strudel, kneading the dough by hand to wrap around varying fruit fillings. She would have loved the ease of the Pillsbury Crescent Roll sheet dough that Susan of Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy has recently been testing. That dough allowed her to make this Cherry Cheese Danish in a snap.

Thanks Susan, for adding this delectable picture to the Slashfood Flickr pool.

This month, the Daring Bakers challenge (they are a group of bakers and food bloggers who all work the same recipe once a month, in order to expand their skills and try something new) was to work with a Danish Braid. Over the weekend, the internet was flooded with delicious pastry, crafted by experienced and new bakers alike.

Today's picture comes from food blogger Susan of Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy. She filled half her pastry with apricot preserves and a cheese mixture, and turned the other half into pain au chocolat. Delicious! To see what the other Daring Bakers did, check out their blogroll here.

For some reason, I really love photographs of food that is prepped, sliced and ready to become something that is far more than the sum of its parts. I particularly like the artistic way that the veggies are arranged in this picture and I am now craving some really lovely, colorful veggie stir fry. This particular batch of vegetables was sliced and photographed by the Sticky Gooey Chef and was well on its way to become Pasta Primavera with Scallops. Yum!
