Bakewell tar er... pudding

So for the daring bakers this mounth we made a tradicional dish...

Simple wet very testy!

Amazing..

I made two versions small ones with berries preserve...

and a large one with apricot jam...

The June Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart... er... pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800's in England.

Chinese dumplings/potstickers (aka gyoza in Japanese)

So... for the second Daring Cooks challange we made... Gyoza!!!




What the hell.. something i coul'd never never never and ever imagine to cook!!!



So simple and the tast is imposible to describle... it made my father go back in his childhood years, when his mother used to make it for him...



Such a sucess!!!



I made a simple pork filling and used lots of ginger root and chinese chives that made every thing diferent!!

You can not imagine how sad i am...

'Cause i missed the posting date in the exact mounth i did the challenge not one but twice... and missed the posting day!!!

Well... really suchs!!!

But.. just have to say that i LOVED the recipe...

Cheesecake is one of our favorite desserts and i have a special recipe but i thing it's about to change... WE REALLY LOVE!!!

In the first time i added lemomcello and lemon zest to the batter, the crust i added powdered chocolate for the topping was blueberry whit goosyberrys and a touch of lemon... exceptional!!!

The second time i added chocolate chops, cinammon and rhum to the crust and made the batter plani with lots of vanilla beans and little rhum and the topping was a strawberry jam and a toffle made with dulce de leche... Again... amazing... even better!!
