Flavored Extracts-DIY
Flavored vanilla, mint and citrus extract.
So cute, both practically & as welcome gifts for friends and relatives for Cooking, Pastry & Cocktails. We can we make them from time to time, they are so easy and we use them so often in our Kitchen!
Make a series of transparent bottles or jars of various shapes and decorate your kitchen shelves. I find it beautiful and create pleasant mood.
Extraction is a natural process by which a substance is transferred from a first ingredient in a liquid solvent. Extracts are made the same way from many other ingredients such as: Coffee, Chocolate, Mint, Lime, Rosemary, coconut, almond, bitter almond, various Berries etc. Choose whatever you like.

Kourabiedes: Greek Christmas Butter Cookies
The Kourabiethes are the best known, loved and popular sweets in various forms and names in all Central Europe, Austria, Germany, and in some Eastern European countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
In Greece is the most favorite Christmas dessert and although at first glance the sugared biscuit, crescent, circular or a mouthful, seems to be a rather unspectacular goody -only a little powdered sugar sprinkled upon a biscuit- between all the colorful Christmas buttered sweet cookies, truffles or chocolate treats is a clear favorite. The flavor and texture to win: It is a unique combination of butter and nuts and there is also the fact that melt in your mouth and have lovely crisp texture with roasted almond inside.
Follow the steps of the recipe and enjoy the tastiest kourabiedes ever!

Syrupy Cake with Chocolate Sprinkles
Syrupy Cake with Chocolate Sprinkles is a familiar, classic in our «neighborhood» and across the Atlantic since the chocolate sprinkles were named in Boston New England «chocolate jimmies» and sprinkled with it their ice creams. This name referred directly to black Americans. Over the years the word has lost its meaning for them and preferred not to continue to use this racist expression!
It reminds us of old tastes and favorites. The «ant» cake is a delicious syrupy chocolate cake coated with cocoa cream and black chocolate sprinkles everywhere, inside and out. It is a cumbersome recipe, but this cake's flavors and aromas will delight you.

Vin D'Orange-DIY
Vin D'Orange, or Orange Wine is a delicious, very aromatic and perfectly balanced spirit drink. The aromas of spices and the freshness of citrus blend with the vividness of wine, create an excellent drink with delicious tension.
The slightly bitter & hypoxic flavors of some fruits balance with the sweet notes of others, but also with that of sugar and of vermouth. The palate detects, through a total of tastes, one by one the perfume ingredients. The tartness of the bitter orange, the flavor of vanilla and cinnamon, the intensity of alcohol and the light tones of sweetness…

Healthy Chocolate Truffles
After a long period where most of us indulged in anything that contained more than «a thousand hundredweight of sugar», it is time to enjoy a sweet very different.
For the beginning of the year, in 2016 the first post of Kitchen Stories proposes an idea of chocolate truffles, with raw ingredients and no sugar. The joy of pleasure without remorse and the lighter feeling of dessert.
Bright aromas of orange and cocoa, with a sour aftertaste from the juice of orange and cranberries. Dried fruits that are used are very tasty and quite sweet. This is why sugar was replaced here by a spoonful of stevia and this is optional because some people can and do not need this extra sweetness.
※※※※※Members, friends, readers & others we wish you all a hopeful 2016!※※※※※

Nocino Walnut Liqueur
Nocino is an Italian liqueur with very dark color and made from small green walnuts while still unripe.
There are many recipes for this liqueur, with several days of exposure to sun, etc. I preferred a short and simple process with the only difference that in this case you let it for 6-7 months to mature the flavor and bring out the aromas.
Adding lemon peel reduces the astringent taste of the liqueur. If you have easy access to walnut trees, try to make this lovely, traditional, homemade liqueur.

Smoked Salmon Tagliatelle
Tagliatelle with delicious, creamy, white sauce from cream cheese, pieces of smoked salmon and freshly ground black pepper wrap tagliatelle. Salmon leaves the smoky and salty flavor on the whole dish. Vodka amplifies its taste and is a great match for the saltiness of salted fish.
A dish simple and with quick preparation but exploding from taste and will appeal to all lovers (or not) of pasta.

My proposal has not Irish whiskey but Scottish. It has, however, a further "misconduct" light sprinkling of nutmeg cream, for tension in the aroma, as it will penetrated by the warm vapors of whiskey and coffee, and gets … better in the photograph!

Prickly Pear Liqueur
Beautiful, bright, clear orange color for this, no ordinary liquor, prickly pear liqueur. A quite rare liqueur, since there are few "brave", which will deal with the Prickly Pears.
Prickly pears found in nature and can be cut with great care, but there are in supermarkets packaged in transparent packages whose spines have been removed, and is the safest and easiest way to treat and remove their peel.
Cheers!

Tiramisu
Tiramisù is one of the most popular Italian desserts in the world.
It is made with savoyards, strong espresso coffee and mascarpone cheese …
It is said that its place of origin is the Veneto region and specifically the city of Treviso, although many have objections to this …
But that which we are interested in is to enjoy a delicious dessert, of which there are many variations and anywhere only friends!
A classic recipe is one that I follow for years and really all these that have tried it like it a lot. The current proposal is a small "herecy" since it adds cinnamon biscuits. Was this desire, which, however, gave a touch aromatic sweet cinnamon, going with coffee.
There is a procedure of preparation of different materials, which have to be prepared separately and then joined together.

Whiskey Burger
Juicy, spicy and drunk with whiskey super burger to deliciously accompany male population that will be "camping" in the living room or on our terrace with the first whistle of the referee for the start of Mundial 2014!

Knead fluffy homemade burger buns and make a very spicy sauce full in whiskey. Packing them with crispy bacon and melted cheddar (no lettuce and the like, sinful). Sprinkle with lots of wavy chips of barbecue taste and put on the edge of each dish chili peppers Jalapeños pickle, to fire up the blood even more, to intensify ecstasy and passion and adrenaline flowing more abundant than beer.
Take care, do not forget them outside of the refrigerator, huh? Sacrilege…
