Final Recipe #21: Pan-fried Fish with Lemon Caper Sauce

They Draw & Cook

107 Recipes Illustrated by Artists from Around the World

by Nate Padavick & Salli Swindell

Made on January 1, 2019

I completed my 2018 Cookbook Challenge!

At the beginning of 2018, I made seven New Year Resolutions including “Invite the neighbors over for a party” (check!), “Maintain my weight loss” (check!), “Sew a quilt” (fail!), and our favorite: “Make 21 recipes from 21 cookbooks” (CHECK!).

When I originally mentioned my resolutions on Facebook, my brother Ron had a wonderful suggestion-- “Hey Anne, you should document each of your recipes in a blog! That would be really interesting.”

At that moment, I should have considered:

I have never written a blog.

I am not great at writing.

Writing a blog post literally takes longer than making a recipe - including doing the dishes.

My brother is a Public Relations executive- of course he thinks that is a good idea.

Because I failed to consider any one of those four points, I jumped in. I also neglected to see into my future...that my free weekends would become consumed with spending hundreds of hours designing three pro bono design projects (one of which continues until July 31, 2019). I also did a lot of travel- two trips to NYC, one to DisneyWorld, one to Tucson, and one to Sweden. Can’t complain about any of that...unless you are still wishing I had sewn that quilt.

So, despite filling my weekends with design work, I remained committed to my self-imposed Cookbook challenge. Gosh darn it, I was going to see it through...how could I let my readers down? All 8 of them? You know who you are because you are reading this right now.

I wish I had something profound to say at this momentous accomplishment...like “I am now a much better cook!”, or “I have decided to make 30 new recipes in 2019!” Or even “My use of proper punctuation has improved!”. But, alas, none of those statements are true. What is true is this: “I am proud of myself”. I am proud that I did not quit. I am proud that I went ahead and showed my less-than-impressive results. I am proud that I learned some new things...including how to make Späetzle and a kick-ass Egg Foo Yung. I am also happy that my mother found my endeavors entertaining and my friends were supportive.

Without further ado, this is my last recipe...Pan-fried Fish with Lemon Caper Sauce. I loved this unique cookbook full of artist-created recipe pages. Each spread is completely unique. I rarely make fish so I thought it would be good practice. Plus, it gave me an excuse to buy capers.

I have taken a few photos of some of the other spreads/recipes from the cookbook:

The recipe called for the juice of a whole lemon...which was too much. Next time, I would only use a tablespoon or two. I chose tilapia for my fish.

For 2019, I have written some new resolutions. I will continue to maintain my weight. I will invite the neighbors over for another party. I will continue to cook new things. I will learn how to use my new air fryer and Instant Pot. However, I will not blog (at least until after July 31). I will not sew a quilt.

I will also say “Thank you” to you for reading my posts. Mom, Ron, Zoé, Craig, Andrea, Abygai, Kathy, Janice, Tina, Kelly, Carly, Yumi, Lynne...I appreciate your support and encouragement. Those tiny little “thumbs up” symbols went a long way to motivate me to make another recipe.

Happy New Year and best wishes for a terrific 2019.

It took all day but I did it! #pieday It's called the easy-fancy honeycrisp apple pie , the baking recipe challenge for @rainydaybites #rainydaybitescookbookclub from The Book on Pie by @emcdowell. I made the pie with a cheese crust and did it in rough puff pastry style, which meant I folded the crust many a time. I used my spirilizer from @kitchenaid_ca to cut and peel the slices, which was probably more work that hand slicing! Lol. The slices of apples are coated in a mix of boiled cider (I used apple wine from @saltspringvineyard ) sugar, dark brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves, and nutmeg. How did it taste? No idea. I'm too tired and it's too late to eat dessert. But we have breakfast! Yah!! . . . #cookbook #cookbookclub #f52community #onmytable #buzzfeedfood #myopenkitchen #cookit #realsimple #forkyeah #mywilliamssonoma #myamazonkitchen #shareyourtable #bhgfood #imsomartha #cookbookchallenge #bakersgonnabake #thebakefeed #bakefromscratch #bakersgonnabake #thebookonpie #piesofinstagram #pieday #applepie #honeycrispapples #applepies #piecrust #piestagram #piemaker — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Q40YPz

Recipe #20: Biscuits & Gravy

Biscuit Head Cookbook by Jason & Carolyn Roy

Made on my birthday, December 23, 2018

When I first moved to Kansas City in 1989, a friend took me to The Corner Restaurant for a true Kansas City breakfast. The Corner was known for their biscuits and gravy...a food I was totally unfamiliar with. Having grown up in Southern California, I was more accustomed to lighter breakfasts such as veggie omelettes with fresh salsa and avocado. The idea (and look) of biscuits and gravy was pretty unappealing to me (I am sure I stated the word “gross” at the time).

My friend refused to let me leave the restaurant without giving them a try. In fact, I think she told me “You have no idea what you are missing!”. She was right. One bite and my life was changed. I am sure biscuits and gravy were partly to blame for the loss of my size 8 figure in that decade. That, and peanut butter ice cream.

Cole and his girlfriend Abbie came home for Christmas and I thought it would be a great opportunity to see if I could make this dish for breakfast.

The recipe for “The Classic Cathead Biscuit” called for 2 1/2 cups of flour sifted with 2 1/2 cups of cake flour. My sifter was kind of broken so I mostly tapped on the side to get the flours to merge into the bowl.

Did you notice that the total was 5 cups of flour? The recipe also called for one stick of butter and two cups of buttermilk. The butter needed to be chilled and cubed...here is a page from the cook book:

They recommended using an ice cream scoop to form the biscuits. Everything looks good...

While waiting for the biscuits to bake, I started making the gravy. I used 1 lb of Jimmy Dean sage breakfast sausage. I have never made gravy before...the gravy recipe was very easy and worked out well.

Here is my final result...I like to break up my biscuits by hand before I pour the gravy on top.

Now...for the taste. The gravy was awesome. Definitely worth the work to make it from scratch. I think it was on par with The Corner Restaurant...really! I will make this gravy again. The biscuits, however, were horrible. They were baked correctly, but were like “Flour Bombs”. They were dry and tasteless. My mother told me the one stick of butter must have been wrong for the five cups of flour. Not wanting to waste the gravy, the next morning I went ahead and made some Pillsbury biscuits to go with the remaining gravy.

This morning I went to the Amazon book reviews and read that some other folks came to the same conclusion...the biscuits were dreadful.

I never got a good photo of Cole and Abbie pretending to enjoy these biscuits...but did get this adorable photo of them before they left at the airport. How can I not post it?

Happy holidays!

Recipe #15: Fikonrutor (Fig Squares)

Fika by Anna Brones & Johanna Kindvall

Baked on November 3, 2018

According to the subtitle of this cookbook, Fika is “the art of the Swedish coffee break”. Basically, Fika (pronounced FEE-ka) is a Swedish custom of taking a few minutes out of your day to have a cup of coffee with a small treat. I found this cookbook right before Mom and I flew to Sweden to visit Katarina in Malmö. Katarina was our Swedish foreign exchange student who lived with our family during my junior year of high school. 35 years later and we still feel like family despite living across the globe.

While we were in Sweden, we had a chance to see many desserts and sandwiches that were perfect for an afternoon coffee break. Here are a few from a bakery case near the glass factories of Kosta Boda and Orrefors:

And here are photos of Mom and I on a train between Copenhagen and Stockholm. Look! We are having Fika on the train!

I chose a recipe from this cookbook for my 2018 Cookbook Challenge (21 recipes from 21 cookbooks) called Fikonruter. I rarely bake, so any recipe that involves grinding raw almonds and requires a rolling pin is pretty intimidating. I decided to be a wuss and skip the step of making homemade fig filling (using port wine- who knew?) and bought jam instead (hey, the recipe said it would be okay). I found a fig and cocoa jam that sounded pretty amazing and most likely better than anything that I would make by steeping my own figs. I also found a sour cherry jam that sounded delicious and decided to make the recipe using the fig preserves on half and the sour cherry on the other half.

Yum...which flavor will be better? Fig Cocoa or Sour Cherry?

After grinding the raw almonds (which was EASY), cutting my unsalted butter into tiny little cubes, making the dough, and rolling it out, I spread each half with the two flavors of jam.

The dough was quite difficult to work with and confirmed that I will never be suited to being a pastry chef. At first the butter was too cold and wouldn’t mix, then the dough wouldn’t hold together when I was rolling it out. It also stuck to the table despite flouring it. The smile you see below is only due to my sense of satisfaction that somehow, despite it all, “I made a rectangle!” My confidence at this point was pretty low. Making a rectangular slab seemed to be quite a feat.

As you can imagine, if making a rectangle was a noteworthy accomplishment, making criss-cross lattice for the top was going to be quite the test. I had only a small amount of dough and had to keep putting it back into the refrigerator to chill so I could roll it out at all. The lattice kept breaking...Ugh! For someone who is normally very detail-oriented, it was hard to look at such pathetic results.

Eventually I finished the assembly, “embraced the imperfections”, and got it into the oven. It turned out pretty well. I really liked the almond cookie-flavored crust. By the way, I liked the sour cherry side the best.

Before I leave this blog entry, I wanted to share a photo of Katarina, Mats, and their daughter Agnes taken on our first morning in Sweden. We were treated to a traditional Swedish breakfast of hard cheese, crisp breads, tomatoes, meat, yoghurt, jam, and coffee. I may need to recreate that meal here in Kansas. But first, I have 6 more recipes to complete before the end of 2018!
