I have the NYTimes and its special on fried chicken to thank for that photo. Also this one. Delish.

I had a leaving party. A company made spit roast lamb and new potatoes and I made courgette and sweetcorn bake and salad. I forgot to take pics of lunch, except for the desert which I made- cupcakes! I made vanilla, chocolate, caramel and strawberry ones with buttercream frosting.

Amarantha, this is for you.

Damnit! I forgot to take a picture of the pear pie I made during the weekend... I guess I'll have to make a new pie sometime.

Colorful and yummy! I hope they didn't leave it all to go to waste eventually.

I have no idea what grasshopper pie is, but if this is what it looks like, I'm all on board.

Zohar said to post this here....I made these cupcakes yesterday.

Yellow cake in green cupcake holders
Frosted with green frosting
Oreos (mini and regular sized) for sunflower base
Yellow frosting with orange stripe in the tube for the petals (leaf tip number 68)
Leafs are white baking chocolate I colored green then drizzled on wax paper sheet in leaf shape
Ladybugs are red m&m's with black frosting on them (with a number 1 tip)

by **Zohar** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 1:54 pm UTC

Once more I'll say that these are beautiful.

by **podbaydoor** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 7:30 pm UTC

Oh wow, those are phenomenal.

I've only seen it done before with chocolate cookie crust (or Oreo, complete with filling), pudding-like filling, and possibly whipped cream on top. That one there looks awesome.

by **Rinsaikeru** » Mon Nov 30, 2009 1:27 am UTC

Perhaps related to the Grasshopper drink--creme de menthe and half and half...and umm a blender? (Not sure the mix contents for it).

The mint there is a giveaway for my hypothesis.

Continuing with the dessert theme:

by **poxic** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:47 am UTC

Dessert?? That looks like something savoury, like an herbed cream cheese loaf or summat. Unless it's pistachio and finely-chopped mint, but ... wait, is that a mint leaf, or is it something else?

*poxic is confused about which neural circuit to activate in order to properly salivate over such a marvelous picture*

by **Rinsaikeru** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:58 am UTC

Maybe pistachio, mint, matcha? Ummm a green themed cake thing? I think. Maybe?

by **Spacemilk** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 4:43 pm UTC

Last night I made the most incredible banana nut bread: It was light and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect flavor of banana and nut and spices, and the top of it was a bit crusty and crunchy without being too much; the ultimate contrast in texture. It. Was. AMAZING.

I also made some cranberry pumpkin bread a few weeks ago that turned out incredibly delicious (fresh cranberries make all the difference!) and I will have to post pictures some time. I am sitting in my office salivating at the memory right now...

by **Bakemaster** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:04 pm UTC

<3 banana nut bread. But, no pictures? For shame!

Rinsaikeru wrote:Maybe pistachio, mint, matcha? Ummm a green themed cake thing? I think. Maybe?

Those don't look at all like pistachios to me. More like adzuki beans, which would make sense with matcha. The garnish doesn't look like mint to me, but if it's a Japanese creation, could very well be a type of mint I haven't seen before. I'm also not sure mint is the best complement for matcha and adzuki, though. Ooh, mystery!

by **Rinsaikeru** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:27 pm UTC

You're right! it does look like adzuki. I was just on a pistachio train based on colour. It's gotta be a matcha cake...looks like it might be some kind of mint--maybe.

by **podbaydoor** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 10:04 pm UTC

If I remember correctly, it's matcha cake. Om nom nom.

When we lived in Cambridge, we lived just a 10 minute walk or so away from a fantastic little Japanese place. It was so good. And cheap. I am missing the shrimp tempura udon terribly.

by **tin** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 12:01 am UTC

Oh...OH.

That tempura udon has actually got me drooling.

More fried chicken:

Tend to prefer it pan-seared, myself.

I thought this looked beautiful, but my boyfriend and his best friend said it looked like macaroni and cheese wrapped around shrimp. >_< They just can't appreciate.

by **Chfan** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 5:09 pm UTC

It does, actually. Still looks delicious.

If you're referring to Cambridge UK, is it by any chance Teri Aki? I've been there and it is awesome.

My bf and I wish you all a happy new year with this binary heart cookie in a Croatian production of "Let's be nerdy"...

(maybe it would be more suitable if I had posted these pics on February 14th but what the hell... it's a new year's cookie... won't survive 'till Feb )

by **podbaydoor** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 11:21 pm UTC

Aw, adorable! Also, great lighting and photography.

by **Vlasta** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:55 am UTC

thank you!

I made the cookie, he took the pictures... light is 100% open window

Grilled cheese pr0n. Sometimes the simplest things are the best.

Damn you, podbaydoor! Damn you to toasty, melty, buttery hell, all running with a blend of cheeses and a smattering of ketchup on the side!

^^That picture is *almost* dirty. I like it.

Some stuff I've made this past year:

Most of it was for class except the first two cakes; I wish I could bake that well at home!

by **Zohar** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:49 pm UTC

Wow, I don't know how they taste but they look very good!

Zohar wrote:Wow, I don't know how they taste but they look very good!

I will argue that the top two are nasty because they are custards, but that's debatable. The last cake had no flavoring whatsoever and was iced with (more or less) tinted crisco, since it was a practice cake so... yeah, probably not so tasty. The other two cakes are two of my favorite kinds, and facilitate my love for filling things with jam. ^_^

They look GREAT. If you had a bakery I'd order #7 from you for birthday celebrations...

I just wish I'd taken pictures of the cuptails (cocktail cupcakes) I made, they were so pretty... :'(

by **lemurdoom** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:07 pm UTC

I just realized I have taken no pictures of food at all. I guess when I see something delicious instead of thinking "I should take a picture of that" I think "wantwantwantwantwantwant".
