Lasagna garden - to bake or not to bake?
Comments (7)In lasagna gardening, there is rarely any heat because of the spread of the organics over an area. To get heat from decomposition, one would need a bit more volume - something 12 to 18 inches high will simply 'cold' compost. I've planted in lasagna beds immediately after they were done. I do add a bit of soil around the roots of the plant, but just enough to buffer the roots. I have so little soil which is available to me. Lots of rocks, no soil. Your plants will actually settle in with the bed. I have never had plants end up half out of the ground as Lee states. Maybe we are doing things differently... Not the best of pictures, but the garden up against the house was just done last year, and this picture was taken a couple of months after it was in place. I immediately planted lilies, phlox paniculata, echinacea, digitalis, hydrangea, mulleins, etc. No ill effect! Nothing popping back out of the ground/bed....See MoreBaked cabbage & gruyere cheese bake
Comments (5)Aka Peggy, I'd look for recipes for classic French gratins. Here's one from Jacques Pepin. Gratin of Cabbage This dish is usually served as a vegetable course, but it can also be served as a first course. It is good reheated, and left over, it can be used in a soup or stew. To enrich it, add little pieces of leftover meat, such as ham, sausage, or roast, as well as pieces of other vegetables. Use white cabbage or savoy cabbage, which is leafier. 1 2 1/2-pound head cabbage 2 cups water 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese 2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and cut the cabbage across into 1/2-inch slices. Place the shredded cabbage in a pot, preferably stainless steel, and add the 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. By then the cabbage should be wilted and soft, but still a bit firm, and most of the water should have evaporated. If any water is left, keep cooking with the lid off until no water is visible and the cabbage is just moist. Pour into a gratin dish and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, butter, and Swiss cheese. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and place in a 400-degree oven for 25 minutes. 6 TO 8 SERVINGS...See MoreBaking cookbooks - Baking With Julia, and the W. S. Bread book
Comments (4)Sally, Baking with Julia is one of my favourite cookbooks. I use her recipe for French bread and it is her recipe I use for Croissants and the Pain au Chocolate. I can highly recommmend both recipes. If you are really in the mood for baking you can't go wrong with the croissants. Make half croissants and half Pain au Chocolate. They freeze well too. I know that there are a few more recipes in that cookbook that I have made, but unfortunately, Moe already boxed up all my cookbooks so I'm without any cookbooks until after we get moved. Or until I have at least 80 feet of bookshelves built. LOL! Ann...See MoreAm. baking powder vs. German baking powder
Comments (5)I don't have any Dr.Oetker baking powder at the moment, although I do have their yeast. However I do have an Austrian brand of baking powder "Perlinger Reinweinstein Backpulver". On the back of the packages it says one sachet of 18 grams of baking powder is sufficient for 500 grams of flour. I see the Dr. Oetker USA website describes their sachet of 20 ml (5 tsp) as suitable also for 500 grams of flour(4 cups). Oh oh I see they also have a boxed Molten Lava Cake mix as well. Our neighbourhood German supermarket is full of Dr. Oetker baking products. I hope I'm not tempted. SharonCb...See Morejackassacres
