#BrunchWeek: Kiwi and Rose Cream Trifle + Day Three Links



#BrunchWeek Logo
Here we are at Day Three of #BrunchWeek. Inspired by Miche Bacher's Fig and Rose Cream Trifle recipe in her new cookbook Cooking with Flowers: Sweet and Savory Recipes with Rose Petals, Lilacs, Lavender, and Other Edible FlowersI made a rose-infused cream and layered it into a trifle with some fresh kiwi and rose petals. The cake is scented with saffron, elevating the entire dessert to an exotic, sensual treat.


1 C organic butter
pinch of saffron
3/4 C milk
2 eggs
1-1/2 C organic granulated sugar
1-3/4 C white whole wheat
2 t baking powder
splash of pure vanilla extract
6 fresh kiwis
3 C rose petal whipped cream
rose petals for garnishing

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter and saffron in a saucepan. Add the milk and let stand. In a large mixing bowl, blend the eggs and sugar until opaque and beginning to plump in volume. Stir in the flour and baking powder until completely combined. Pour in the saffron-infused butter and milk mixture and blend gently until a smooth batter is formed. Bake for 45-50 minutes until firm to the touch. Let cook for at least 30 minutes, then cut into cubes.

In a trifle bowl, layer rose petals, rose petal whipped cream, cubes of cake, and slices of kiwi. Repeat until your bowl is full. Garnish the top with more kiwi and more petals.

  2. Rose and saffron are a great combination. Wish there was a picture of all the layers in the trifle - that's one of the best parts about the dessert.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
