Superbowl Party Food

February 4, 2011 By Delia

Pittsburgh against Green Bay. Steelers against Packers. Terrible Towels against Cheeseheads…One of the biggest sporting events in the world, this years is billed to be one of the best games of all time. And it’s only fair to get a load of friends over, beers in the cooler, with lots of easy food.

Lombardi Trophy

So what have we got on the cards?

Nachos Chips
Melted Cheese, Jalapenos, a small amount of Chopped Tomatoes, Sour Cream and Guacamole, this dish is a great favourite at any party.

Lay half of the Nachos out on an Ovenproof dish, sprinkle with some Cheese, then lay some Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Sour Cream and Guacamole on top. Lay the rest of the Nachos on top, followed by the rest of the toppings, and place under a medium heated grill until Golden Brown, and the Cheese has melted.

Pizza
Using the bases mentioned here, you can easily change the toppings – try some Beef and Jalapenos, Three Cheeses, and some Chicken and Sweetcorn toppings for them.

Follow the instructions for the Pizza Bases, and place the toppings on before returning to the oven for the final sessions, to allow them to cook and crisp over.

Southern Fried Chicken
This recipe is a personal favourite. You can use different cuts of Chicken to make sure that you have a lot of these, or you may miss the third and fourth quarter making more!

These are great hot or cold, so if you don’t have a series of fryers, or someone specially in to cook, it may be worth serving them cold!

Pretzls
Nothing says Beer Snack, like a traditional Pretzel! And flavour these with some different spices and flavourings – Cinnamon, Salt or Garlic are all good flavourings that can go well on this snack.

Big Baskets of these – not even in the traditional shapes, but in any pattern – go down VERY well.

Above all – if you’re going out, have a game plan – don’t drink and drive, have a designated driver, or take a cab!

Kitchen Playlists: Cupcake Baking

March 13, 2010 By Lorraine

If you spend as much time in the kitchen as my husband and I do, you know how nice (or necessary) it is to have some good music to accompany you. I’ve posted before about the speakers we use, and today I’m launching a new series of posts on the different kitchen-specific music playlists I have on my iPod.

Because I’ve been busy making hundreds of cupcakes lately, that’s what I’m sharing with you today: selections from my Cupcake Baking Playlist:

*note: the links will take you to the iTunes store, in case you want to listen to and/or buy the song.

Super Duper Love – Joss Stone
Because I super duper love baking, this is a good song to kick off what will be hours of mixing, measuring out, and baking the little cakes.

Sweet Lorraine – Nat King Cole
Yes, it’s what I named my little home-based bakehop after, and really- this song never gets old for me. Nat King Cole’s version is classic (it’s the song that made him famous!)

How Sweet It Is – Michael Buble
Appropriate for making frosting, sugar cookies, caramel, and candy.

Too Darn Hot – Ella Fitzgerald
One of my favorite films as a child was Kiss Me Kate– which is where this gem of a song comes from. Ella Fitzgerald’s version is perfect for when the kitchen gets too hot (in my kitchen, that’s all the time).

I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) – The Four Tops
See a pattern here? I like listening to sweet songs for sweet making.

Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani
This song always makes me feel like making banana cupcakes. “These cupcakes are bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!” (Sorry, I had to).

What music do you listen to in the kitchen?
