Angela's Kitchen: 200 Quick and Easy Recipes

Product Information

I have a batch of these in the freezer ready to bake, but I just wondered how long they’ll be okay being frozen for (like a month or something? You want a decent amount of flour, and to help it raise to get the classic texture so that when you bite into it… heaven.

Smoked salmon is perfect for occasions and I decided to make a tasty dip with some that could also be spread on bagels. However, many of the individual components are fairly straightforward, so you might make the saffron emulsion (mayo) that accompanies a crab and melon mousse and that’s flavoured with paprika and Espelette chilli powder and serve it with some simply grilled fish. I tried stuffing 2 with a ball of frozen Nutella as an experiment and it was the first time I’ve made successful stuffed cookies! I never knew about the cult-like NY cookies until I saw your recipe and did some reading about them!I made the smaller 60g cookies with white chocolate as it’s all I had and they still turned out really nice and gooey – I personally would have found the bigger cookies a bit too sickly, but my partner ate 3 in a row so just down to personal preference! The chocolate recipe uses a total of 285g of dry ingredients ( flour and cocoa powder) and this one has a total of 300g of dry ingredients ( plain flour ) . The world is full of wonderful versions of this, but I like mine because it’s creamy, really cheesy and open to the addition of other ingredients if it takes my fancy. I did read your comments on using self raising flour and 1/4 bicarb but I wondered if there was any other way and I’m also running low on self raising flout! Bake the pastry case ‘blind’ (filled with dry beans) for 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake a further 5-8 mins until the pastry is pale golden and cooked.

Lee was, before she opened her much-loved restaurant Beverly Soon Tofu in LA, a home cook with a small but very loyal fanbase of friends and family. Always have amazing comments about the cookies when I make them, I’ve tried the choc, m and m and also choc orange which all go down a treat. After a long day “at work”, her prefered method of unwinding is to drink an Americano cocktail and munch on some tortilla chips with her Jumbo Chili Sauce. Many of the recipes such as prawns with chilli, orzo and pesto or roast rump of Cornish lamb with peas a la F rançaise, asparagus and roast potatoes are pretty straightforward and ideal for a mid-week meal. The recipe was clear and easy to follow, which was very helpful as it was my first time making cookies (I tend to just bake cakes).This is very much Ramsay’s version of events however and key players like Marcus Wareing, Angela Hartnett, Mark Sargeant, Jason Atherton and Mark Askew (none of whom still work for Ramsay) get only a passing mention. The other NYC cookie versions are always a hit as well, I tweaked the cherry bakewell ones into white chocolate cranberry flavor and they were gone in a flash!

But then, do people come to cookbooks that explore other cuisines expecting the author to present every dish as a simple half-hour recipe? Annoyingly the only thing I am missing is bicarbonate of soda, but I do have baking powder, SR flour, plain flour and cornflour. The book’s bold and colourful graphic design and the clean and simple food styling and photography that really lets the dishes stand for themselves. However, because I make this with a hand blender, I usually put the chili and the garlic in first to avoid them accidentally flying into my eye.

My husband has had cookies from Levain Bakery when we visited New York but I couldn’t due to a food allergy so it’s been nice to try a similar cookie. I freeze logs of this cookie dough, so I can grab one out, slice it up and have the cookies baked in 15 minutes for guests. Are you able to tell me the measurements in cups for the dry ingredients or can I just do a Google conversion? I was expecting good, I was not expecting this – these are AMAZING, FANTASTIC, MOORISH, RICH chocolate chip cookies!

For main meals there are fresh twists on classic home dishes, such as Beef Stew with Butternut Squash and Red Onions, as well as more unusual dishes like Quail Salad with Harissa Dressing – and some traditional Italian recipes including Sausage Rigatoni and Fennel.

My partner and I loved them and dropped some round at my parents and friends and they all raved and asked for the recipe! It was a perfect choice for breakfast because it was fairly light and great with some toasted bagels. However, you can use 1/2tsp more baking powder with the recipe as it is, but the texture might be slightly different!
