It’s Sugar High Friday #27 with David Lebovitz as round up host. With the SHF theme of “Chocolate Brand” this recipe uses Ah!laska brand Baker’s Cocoa in the marshmallows, and Ghirardelli White Chocolate. Amidst our delayed arrival from New Orleans I realized, I’ve been chocolate deprived. Distracted by oysters and cocktails, and having dessert for [...]
Discussions on eGullet, where I gathered the strawberry marshmallow recipe from, have suggested that the fat content in chocolate marshmallows causes a decrease in their resulting whipped volume. My recent experimentation with black sesame paste marshmallows gave me the idea to add the chocolate at the end of mixing to minimize disruption of the marshmallow’s [...]
I allowed my marshmallow obsession to run with my imagination after the success of the peppermint swirls. Using my Japan souvenirs, I whipped up a batch of homemade black sesame swirl marshmallows and a layered set of green tea with azuki bean. Combined with the peppermints and the lemon-ginger, I have assembled a tasting kit [...]
I whipped up a half batch of peppermint marshmallows to add to a marshmallow tasting kit I am devising. Adding three drops of peppermint essential oil to the basic marshmallow recipe proved to be on the intense side of the flavor spectrum. Almost a bit tingly, but still delightful.

Knowing that several people attending had an objection to eating beets- this seemed like the perfect time to finally [...]

My desire to make fake sushi has been rolling around my head for quite sometime. My first output was to make it with clay- a project that was fun, but got consumed up when it came to rice making… which is a hint as to how my compulsions play out! This project isn’t very easy [...]
How to guide now up. The combination of sweet tidbits and fake food has long held my fascination, especially when it comes to sushi. The masterminds at Kooki-Sushi have my everlasting respect with the production of their amazing morsals that trick the eye. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at my own fakery, and [...]
I’ve got my first post up on ReadyMade magazine’s blog! Spicy Hot Cinnamon Marshmallows are a new flavor variant on the ever encompassing marshmallow recipe. I’ve long admired ReadyMade’s fun projects ever since their cover project of a sod couch for your yard sprouted up. The blog aspect to the website extension of the magazine [...]
