Tasty Bites Newsletter April 11, 2014

It has been a while since I have sent out a newsletter. I have been working other tasks at the Desert Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs, along with my general BBQ duties. Thank you for your patience and support through the years. I want to continue to share what I learn and research in the field of food, and food history.

I know this was a month ago but did you have some corned beef left over from St. Patty's Day? What did you make with them?
Yup, I bet one of the first thoughts is a Reuben sandwich, if you are in America. Have you ever wondered why it's called that? Check out the history and the original recipe. For those outside the U.S. you may be wondering what a Reuben sandwich is. Read on!

I made a German style French onion soup that was stunningly good.
Do you think 2.50 is good for an Heirloom tomato? I think they are..... Let's get to the recipes and history.

Some Spring Recipes

 

 

 

April 8, 2013

Dumpling that Saved a Town and A Spring Food Winner, Rhubarb

Spring is here and so it is time to think about the first seasonal fruit and Veg. I am still making some dumplings from my big project with dumplings, many of them Dumplings from my German heritage.

Since I just got done with dessert dumplings I wanted to share one of my favorites, the Dampfnudel. there are both sweet and savory Dampfnudels and it has the coolest history of any food. The stuff you could make a movie out of. The town of Freckenfeld, Germany was saved during the 30 years war by none other than the Dampfnudel!

Rhubarb is a sour choice for so many folks but is one of the sweet signs of Spring when you see it coming up in the garden. It is very healthy so a real great choice to add more recipes to your culinary repetoire.
Enjoy!

Taxes are done, and I am ready to do some Fall cooking!

Made a German Style Cheese cake called a Käsekuchen for my Dad's 90th birthday party. Check it out below.

Fall is in the air, colored leaves, crisp mornings and beautiful big orange pumpkins are stacked at the grocery stores. I dream of driving by fields of pumpkins.

Just a little Tibit Idea for Grilling

I have been at the families house in Reno, Nevada and had a propane
BBQ but didn't have a kettle BBQ to do a dish that was defined by the smoky flavor of
briquetts and wood. So figured there must be a way.

Some Nice Desserts and thoughts on Mother's Day

Cheese Strudel
A simple variation on a Cheese cake, simple to make with Filo dough from the frozen foods section in your store.

Raspberry Cheese
Strudel

The same recipe as the cheese Strudel with the addition of fresh raspberries.

German Strawberry Torte
a nice Spongecake base layered with cream cheese filling and topped with glazed fresh strawberries.

Thoughts on Mother's Day

The national holiday in the United States called  Mother's Day was spearheaded by one woman in particular that dearly loved and respected her mother who devoted most of her life to great causes.

The story of this lady Anna Marie Jarvis is an interesting one. She was a career woman and not even a Mother herself.
