Cooking With Maryann

Maybe it's just me, but it's not summer until I get to eat crab cakes! Don't let this recipe intimitate you! It's really not difficult, just takes a little bit of prep time in the fridge.

Delicious Crab Cakes!

This recipe is sooo tasty! It truly is for garlic lovers! It involves sautéing onions and mushrooms in butter and oil until golden, then adding wine to reduce. Garlic, thyme, and parsley are stirred in for flavor, followed by seasoning with salt and pepper. The dish is garnished with additional parsley and served warm, making for a savory, aromatic side. Here's what you'll need to make it:

Garlic Mushrooms in Brown Butter Herb Sauce

Step 1Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5. Lightly grease a 20.5cm springform tin, line the base with baking parchment and dust the sides with flour (tap out excess). For the sponge, in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, beat the caster sugar, eggs and vanilla using a handheld electric whisk for 7-8min, or until pale, thick and moussey.

Blackcurrant Mousse Cake

Step 1For the semifreddo, in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate, almond butter and a pinch of salt. Remove bowl from heat and stir in the caramel until smooth. Set bowl aside to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment or clingfilm, making sure the excess hangs over the sides.

Chocolate Nougat Semifreddo

Step 1Line a 20.5cm square tin that’s at least 4cm deep with baking parchment, making sure excess hangs over the sides. For the base, whizz the biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed (alternatively bash in a food bag with a rolling pin). Pulse/mix in the coconut oil until combined. Empty into the lined tin and press to level with the back of a spoon. Chill until needed.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
