Chocolate Brownies!

This week’s theme is on heavenly sweet foods. For this blog entry, it will be on Chocolate Brownies. It was first discovered in Chicago, Illinois during the 1893 Columbian Exposition.


The confection was created by a chef at the city's Palmer's House Hotel after Bertha Palmer requested a dessert for ladies attending the fair; it should be; she said; smaller than a piece of cake and can be easily eaten from boxed lunches. These first brownies featured an apricot glaze and walnuts and they are still being made at the hotel according to the original recipe.


To make Chocolate Brownies, you will need the ingredients listed below, but this isn't the real recipe made by the chef at Palmer's House Hotel though. So here we go:



• 120g good-quality dark chocolate
• 125g unsalted butter
• 200g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 85g plain flour
• 2 tbs good-quality cocoa
• 100g walnuts, chopped

The cooking instruction to make the Chocolate Brownies to this recipe can be found at http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/6805/brownies and there you have it! It will look almost the same as the picture above.


You might as well add on something else that you would like to have in your brownies or maybe make your own recipe for your brownies just like this!

Tasty looking, isn't it?

Pizza Frenzy

PIZZA FRENZY

This week theme’s is Italian. There are all kinds of Italian cuisine, but today it will be Pizza. Everyone loves pizza, but what do you know about it? Mostly through research, pizza originated from Italy. The word pizza is thought to have come from a latin word, pinsa, which mean flatbread. By 997 it had appeared in Medieval Latin, and in 16th century Naples (a city in Italy), a Galette flatbread was referred to as a pizza. Galette is a general term used in French to refer various types of flat, round or freeform crusty cakes. Other countries also spoke that pizza is discovered by them, so there is no questions on variations of pizza flavor. Margherita, Tuna Delight, Pepperoni, Super Supreme,BBQ Chicken, they are all pizza flavors. So what is the best pizza flavor? You will be the judge of that. All of this talking must have made you all hungry, so take your phone and order up a pizza or you even can make your own. I have also given you pizza recipes links. They are the best and most simple recipes that I have searched. Making your own pizza with your OWN recipe is even better. All you need is a ready-made flatbread, cheese, pizza sauce and all the toppings you ever wanted. Next, put it in an oven and heat it for 20-25 minutes. The minimum temperature would be 50 degree Celsius. Then, voila! Your pizza is ready to be served. Happy cooking and bon appétit!
