Day 19

Catastrophe has occurred: I waited too long to order my cookbook from Tastebook, and now I have to make my own. It’s not TOO bad, because I adore arts and crafts, but this’ll set me back a bit. But I bought materials at Michael’s! Took me over an hour and a half to find the right things I wanted, but I’m elated to begin working on it!!

Grapefruit Almond Cake

Ingredients

2 grapefruits

6 eggs

1½ cups ground almonds (you want them on the verge of fine)

1½ cups granulated sugar (use only a cup if using oranges instead of grapefruits)

1 teaspoon baking powder

Butter

Flour (or matzo meal or cornstarch)

Directions

Wash the grapefruits, then bring them to a boil in a pot big enough to keep the fruits submerged in water. Simmer until the skin is shiny and almost see-through, turning the fruit every 3o minutes or so. It will take about two hours total.

Drain and let the cooked fruit cool for at least 3o minutes. They are hotter inside than you might anticipate.

Preheat the oven to 400° Rub the inside and sides of a cake pan with butter, then coat the buttered pan with flour. (Ideally, use a cake pan with a removable base.)

Dig through the flesh and remove the seeds. Puree both the flesh and rind with a blender or immersion blender. Or push the flesh and rind through a strainer if you don’t have that kind of machinery.

Beat the eggs together in a large bowl. Add the almonds, sugar, baking powder and pureed fruit and mix well. Bake until the middle of the cake is almost set and no longer wet, about an hour.

Let cool and serve with sweetened whipped cream. Or yogurt. Something rich and sweet. The cake keeps in the fridge for at least three days.

TasteBook Custom Cookbook Review and Giveaway

Did you know this month is National Family Reunion Month?  Summer is a great time to get together with relatives from near and far.  This summer you can make a reunion memorable with a custom cookbook from TasteBook.  I am working on creating a cookbook by myself right now, but think how fun it would be to share cherished family recipes and have them collected in one easy to use book.  TasteBook…

I've been searching forever for somewhere to collect all of the recipes I've printed out from my favorite blogs. Getting tired of smearing cake batter and tofu juice on my iPhone, too. While one good suggestion I received after hollering to my Facebook pals about my dilemma was to put my iPhone in a ziploc bag (thanks for the tip, it works), I wanted something that wouldn't simultaneously drain my battery. Luckily, a friend's mom (gotta love parents on Facebook), suggested making a Tastebook. You can create a digital archive of all your fave recipes from websites and blogs, and even upload your own. The best part is that you can have it printed into a hardcover cookbook, which you can add to whenever you want. Swoon.
