The Fish Spatula

I have discovered the Fish Spatula. I saw my mother using a folk to flip the fish fillets, and that's exactly what I have been doing all these years. I went to The Cordon Bleu for one of their petite workshops, and the Chef introduced us to this wonderful utensil. 

The fish spatula is thinner than the regular spatulas, and allows the cook to flip the most fragile fillet without breaking it, a must if you prepare a lot of fish.

Quatre-quarts aux agrumes - Citrus fruit cake

Bonjour!!!

I love drinking a cup of coffee (or more) in the afternoon, and of course a piece of pastry is always welcome to make the moment sweeter.

I like lemons in deserts, and a Citrus pound cake is the perfect choice.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Bon Appetit!!!

Preheat the oven to 350F and butter and flower a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan. Separate the eggs. In a bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with half of the sugar. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and the other half of the sugar until thick and pale in color.

In a separate bowl, mix the flower, salt, zest, and baking powder together.

The cake is best eaten the same day, but it will keep in an airtight container for a day or two.

I created "The Pink Macaroon" after watching two great TV shows in the Cooking Channel: "Little Paris Kitchen" with Rachel Khoo and "French Food at Home" with Laura Calder. Their approach to cooking, and love of life inspired me.

The "Pink Macaroon" is about things that I ♥, and enjoy doing/trying.

♥  I am European by birth, American by adoption.
♥  I love lotions & potions. I am a California Licensed Skin Therapist. I don't get to practice this life full-time anymore... I still keep up with the trends. I truly enjoy visits to Spas and achieving a new level of skin health fitness.
♥ I enjoy reading, watching movies and listening to music.
♥ I always get seduced by Fine European Pastries.
♥ I love the color Pink

À bientôt
