PEACHES

This one word says summer. Roasting peaches simply with butter and brown sugar creates a dessert to remember. The butter browns and keeps the peaches soft and tender.

The crunch from the salty granola offsets the sweetness of the peaches. The simple granola topping is made with pantry staples. The salty-ginger taste is fantastic. Do not pass on making the topping.

Cantonese Steamed Fish

Cantonese Steamed Fish | Bijouxs Little Jewels

My all-time favorite way to steam fish, filled with flavor and simple to prepare-Cantonese Steamed Fish Recipe No. 653 in the Membership Collection.

STEAMED FISH

I know steaming fish sounds bland and boring, however this Cantonese take on steamed fish is anything but boring. Fresh ginger, scallions and cilantro all bathed in a light soy-sauce based sauce. The fish is delicate and tender, everything is kept light and fresh.

It’s easy to steam fish, even if you don’t have a steamers. You can simply use a large pot or deep skillet with a lid, I use my wok. You can either use a steaming rack or small can in 1-2 inches of water. Easy! You now have a steaming setup.

CANTONESE CUISINE

I have long-loved Cantonese style food. In LA we had stellar Asian restaurants from the high-end to the simple classic diner-style eateries. Mostly I ate at local restaurants in Alhambra, near my home, where there are many different Asian cuisines converging together.

This simple recipe is a favorite both at home and out to eat- No. 643 Cantonese Steamed Fish Enjoy!

Baked Rhubarb with Labne Yogurt

Baked Rhubarb with Labne Yogurt | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Every Spring the rhubarb shows up at the famers markets, the early harvest is the best. The taste is very tart and mostly rhubarb is used for pies, tart, and jams, or baked here with a sprinkling of sugar. No. 652 Baked Rhubarb with Labne Yogurt in the Membership Collection.

RHUBARB

Not the first spring vegetable you think of, but Rhubarb’ tart stalks are wonderful when baked or cooked until soft and sweetness with sugar. Most people have tried Strawberry Rhubarb pie, which one of my Grandmother’s regular pies. She baked a pie every Friday to have on the ready for weekend guests. We grew rhubarb in her tiny LA garden which made it fun as a child to head out to the garden and cut some stakes. Of course, I did take a taste, wow was it bitter!

SIMPLE RHUBARD RECIPE

This baked rhubarb recipe is one of the easiest introductions for rhubarb. The stalks are mixed with sugar, vanilla bean paste with lemon rind strips. Just pop it in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender. Do not over-bake, the rhubarb will get mushy.

Serve with labne yogurt lightened with some whipped cream. The original recipe called for chopped pistachios on top, but I sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar instead. If you find the rhubarb still to tart place a dollop of strawberry preserves on top as well.

CLEMENTE BAKING

Now living along the Central Coast, I like to feature local eateries, and Clemente Bakery is a favorite. I discovered these Spelt Citrus Teacakes there and had to figure out how to bake them. Think I got close. I went in and met the owner Craig Hurlbert and could see this is the real deal. Their RYE SOURDOUGH is best I Have ever eaten. Sadly I just learned they no longer bake that bread, disappointed.
