Roasted, skinned & candied hazelnuts

May 9, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

To make Martha Stewart’s Chocolate Mousse Tart with Hazelnuts from her new cookbook Martha Stewart’s New Pies and Tarts published by Random House Canada, I had to go about learning how to skin and candy these beauties. Wish I could say it was easy but I can say it isn’t impossible. According to Martha, roast hazelnuts in […]

Candy Making: Chocolate Brittle

June 24, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

This is an adaptation of this recipe for chocolate brittle. Normally when it comes to candy making I would never change a recipe. It is not like baking, there is not a lot of flexibility when it comes to rules but I really did not want to risk a whole pound of butter which is almost […]

Recipe Review: Ricardo’s Super-Easy Strawberry Marshmallows

June 23, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

I remember seeing Ricardo make these strawberry marshmallows on his show Ricardo and Friends and I was amazed! I knew you could make homemade marshmallows but with natural strawberry flavour?

Eat Your Fridge: Pumpkin Fudge

November 27, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

Wondering what you are going to do with that extra pumpkin that did not quite make it into your Thanksgiving pumpkin pie? Well that is the dilemma I had a month ago at Canadian Thanksgiving. I put it in my freezer and forgot about it! Until Janice, an old friend of my husband’s, talked about […]

Candied Pecans

August 19, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 44 Comments

I learned how to make sugared/candied pecans when I found the “perfect salad recipe” at foodtv.ca. When guests come to visit, I always make this salad and what makes it unique and special are the candied pecans. I have tried making candy and I can tell you, most of the time it is so finicky […]
