Double Chocolate Tart

Nov 14, 2007 - This chocolate-truffle-inspired tart shows just how decadent simplicity can be. Dulce de Leche is a South American delicacy, made by cooking condensed milk into caramel -- its growing popularity means you can buy it at most stores these days. It's the perfect complement to the rich chocolate -- and the addition of flaked sea salt gives the whole thing balance and chef-like flair. - 1 Comment

Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Aug 17, 2007 - Just last week I was in Las Vegas where I had the chance to visit Mesa Grill (in Caesar's) once again. Im a fan of Bobby Flay and love his grilled foods. As a result, my second trip to Mesa with my bf did not disappoint: Blue Corn Cornbread Muffins and Italian Sourdough Bread -- the cornbread was our fave Rough Cut Raw Tuna Nachos with Mango Hot Sauce and Avocado Crema -- so incredibly delicious and fresh, the kick of cilantro was great Crispy Squash Blossoms Filled with Ricotta Cheese, Corn, Basil, and a Yellow Habanero Sauce -- a very elegant starter that paired nicely with the sauce Spice Crusted Swordfish Steak with Charred Jalapeno-Basil Vinaigrette -- this was the bf's and it was very, very good 21-Day Aged Black Angus New York Strip Steak with House-Made Mesa Steak Sauce -- cooked perfectly and very tasty, although I wasnt a fan of the steak sauce (but then again I dont like A1) Side of Roasted Corn with Lime, Chipotle, and Cotija -- unbelievably delicious, the lime was such a good complement to the roasted corn Warm Chocolate Cake, Dulce de Leche, and Toasted Pecan Ice Cream Served on a French Macaroon -- a very sinfully delicious lava cake, but not too much dulce de leche (which tasted more like nutmeg juice than anything), so I was sad Mesa Fresca with Sauza Hornitos Tequila and Grapefruit Soda -- I wanted to try this last time, and it is quite refreshing! - 10 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
