戚風蛋糕
檸檬戚風蛋糕
戚風蛋糕(Chiffon cake),香港稱雪芳蛋糕,此類蛋糕是混合麵糊類和乳沫類兩種麵糊,改變乳沫蛋糕的組織和顆粒而成。戚風蛋糕最大特色是口感鬆軟,採用分蛋打發的技巧,使組織包有充分空氣而爽口細緻,同時因為以植物油取代牛油,空氣也較易藏於蛋糕之內。此外,這亦使蛋糕的熱量較低。然而,戚風蛋糕沒有了牛油蛋糕獨有的香味。
戚風蛋糕是於1927年由美國加州一個兼營小型蛋糕店的保險經紀Harry Baker所發明。然而,蛋糕的配方直到1948年才被公開。
戚風蛋糕只是一種音譯,chiffon原指一種布料,名為喬其紗,由於戚風蛋糕口感柔軟綿滑好似喬其紗一般,所以有取其名稱為chiffon cake,音譯為戚風蛋糕。

One cup of cooked spaghetti has approximately 220 calories, 1 gram of fat and no cholesterol. Most pastas on the market are enriched with iron, too. Whole-grainpastas contain about the same calories as regular pasta but have more protein, fiber and vitamins. ... The trick is to make pasta part of a varied diet.

S’mores烤棉花糖巧克力夾心餅

烤棉花糖巧克力夾心餅(S’mores)是一種歷久不衰的美國露營點心。S’more是「some more」的縮寫,因為棉花糖和巧克力加在一起的甜美滋味,讓這種點心贏得了「some more」 (還要)的可愛名稱。據說這種點心最早是由美國女童軍發明的,後來大為流行,成為一款不敗的人氣點心,現在甚至還出了s’mores口味的早餐穀片、冰淇淋、和咖啡奶精。只要有火,有材料,就可以做出這道經典點心。如果想要把棉花糖烤得微焦,秘訣就是讓棉花糖距離火源15公分左右,然後邊烤邊轉。 #HappyNewYear #CookWithAIT
S’mores are an iconic American camping dessert. It’s chocolaty-marshmallowy goodness earned it the name, “some more.” Said to have been created by the Girl Scouts of America, s’mores have spread so much in popularity that we now have breakfast cereals, ice cream flavors, and even flavored cream for coffee with the s’more flavor. It is easy to make as long as you have a fire and the ingredients. If you want the golden brown color, all you have to do is hold the marshmallow about 15 cm away from the flame and spin it slowly.

Pomegranate石榴 Valéry's Muse of Many Seeds


 Pomegranate石榴 Valéry's Muse of Many Seeds

2008年10月,"南風吹過廚房"的主人給的沙拉有十幾樣菜。William Scherkenbach夫人都沒嘗過紫色透黃的粒粒晶瑩石榴子。David Hsu拿起手機找它的英文拼寫。
想起Paul Valery的詩。

LES GRENADES (POMEGRANATES): Valéry's Muse of Many Seeds


有漢譯
POMEGRANATES, by             Poet's Biography
First Line: Hard pomegranates sundered
Last Line: Its secret architecture.
Subject(s): Pomegranates


Hard pomegranates sundered
By excess of your seeds,
You make me think of mighty brows
Aburst with their discoveries!

If the suns you underwent,
O pomegranates severed,
Wrought your essence with the pride
To rend your ruby segments,

And if the dry gold of your shell
At instance of a power
Cracks in crimson gems of juice,

This luminous eruption
Sets a soul to dream upon
Its secret architecture.
