Candied orange dipped in chocolate

I've tackled this project in search of an inexpensive but classy looking wedding gift for some friends that got married last august. Money, we didn't have, but time, there was plenty (well, sorta, I had a shortened sleep schedule the whole week before and finished the packaging the very morning of the wedding).

Roasted cauliflower, au grattin

The eternal question: what are we going to eat for dinner ? Guyuk and me settled on some salmon, but still, we had to decide what was going to go with it. Having seen recently a lot of recipes involving cauliflower, and the fact that I had a head waiting in my fridge reminded me about a recipe I had seen about roasting cauliflower.

Pain doré

This is not almost not a recipe, seeing how easy it is to whip together. Really, three ingredients ? Eggs, milk and bread. If you tell me you don't have those, I won't believe you. This is as easy as you can get. I've always done those by hand, judging the donness of the mix with the texture, color, etc. so feel free to adjust from the measurements given.

Lemon and ginger marmalade

I've been canning a few things since I discovered how to process the jars in hot water baths. This is the project I've been doing during weeknights recently: marmelade. I'm not a big fan of it, because I find most marmelades bitter and too zesty for me. Maybe this is the one that'll change my mind ! I finally kicked my butt into processing the lemons before they went bad and I'm so glad I did. I was awarded with fourteen 250ml jars of the stuff. Actually, I even had 15, butt the last jar's bottom actually broke, and the marmelade was lost into the 7 liters of boiling water.

Sortilège truffles, rolled in crushed toasted hazelnuts

On with the food !

This is my first attempt at making truffles. Please, don't refrain from doing them, especially the rolled kind, because they are SO easy to make. Those dissapeared in a snap and my guests helped themselves to make sure there was none remaining at the end of the evening, by dividing what was left in containers to bring home.
