Culinary Adventures with Camilla

  Welcome to the November 2022 event of  our #EattheWorld project, being spearheaded by Evelyne of  CulturEatz . Here's  her challenge .  This month, we are sharing recipes from Bermuda, here's the #EattheWorld line-up.. A Day in the Life on the Farm: Codfish Cakes   Amy’s Cooking Adventures: Bermuda Triangle Cocktail   Sugarlovespices: Bermuda Rum Cake with pecans (from scratch)   Culinary Adventures with Camilla: Bermuda’s Signature Cocktail: Dark ‘N’ Stormy  Sneha’s Recipe: Bermuda Johnny Bread   Kitchen Frau: Bermuda Fish Chowder Dark 'N' Stormy I am not a huge fan of rum. I'm more of a gin gal. However, Jake loves rum. So, when I saw that Bermuda's signature cocktail used rum, I took the opportunity to make him a special libation. Cheers! The actual cocktail uses Gosling's brand dark rum and ginger beer. I used a rum distilled in Trinidad and Tobago; the ginger beer is from the United Kingdom. So, not traditional Bermuda ingredient...

  Here we are in November with the monthly post for the baking group called Bundt Bakers. #BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme.  You can see all our of lovely Bundts by following our  Pinterest board . We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about BundtBakers, can be found on our  home page .  This month, we're sharing spiced bundts with Stacy of Food Lust People Love at the lead.

  Welcome to the July 2021  Improv Cooking Challenge . This group is headed up by Nichole of  Cookaholic Wife . And I haven't been very consistent, but I love the idea of the group, so I will try to be better in the coming months. The idea behind Improv Cooking Challenge: we are assigned two ingredients and are challenged to create a recipe with those two things. This month's items: pineapple and rum. Here's what the crew is sharing with those ingredients... Bloody Painkiller by Palatable Pastime Goldilocks Cocktail by A Day in the Life on the Farm Homemade Pineapple Rum by Sneha's Recipe Pineapple Mojitos by Cookaholic Wife Pineapple-Rum Granita by Culinary Adventures with Camilla Pineapple Tiramisu by Magical Ingredients Pineapple-Rum Granita Granitas are great because they have so few ingredients and even fewer rules! Use any watery fruit. Use any citrus. I've made  Watermelon-Tequila Granita ,  Pluot-Port Granita , and even a  Cuba Libre Gr...

Here we are at the last installment of the Winter Warm-Up Drink Series hosted by Ellen of  Family Around the Table ! Can you believe it's been six weeks of delicious, delectable winter drinks? I hope you've enjoyed all of the weeks and have been inspired to whip up some cocktails of your own. I know that I have several on my to-try list. The Final Line-Up Bourbon Hot Toddy by Family Around the Table Graham Cracker Latte by Books n’ Cooks Sweetheart Coffee by Our Good Life Winter Wonderland Mojito by Culinary Adventures with Camilla Just in case you need a recap, over the past few weeks, I have shared:  Aquavit & Tonic ,  Hot Vanilla ,  Irish Coffee ,  Earl Grey Hot Toddy   Today I envisioned a cocktail that evoked the feeling of a winter wonderland, and planned to make holly-esque garnishes with pomegranate arils and fresh mint leaves. What came out of the kitchen was less than photogranic albeit tasty. The coconut milk had thicker...

Here we are at the fourth #KitchenMatrixCookingProject post for July. This month I picked the dishes with easy recipes to inspire some  al fresco  dinners. This week, I decided to focus on a summer produce darling: the watermelon. I remember long summer afternoons when I was a kid, having watermelon seed spitting contests with my friends. I don't think I've seen a seed in a watermelon in decades. Why is that?! In any case, when they are in season, we always seem to have one on our counter or in the fridge. I have made  Watermelon Pico de Gallo ,  Roasted Watermelon Fennel Ice Cream ,  Watermelon Agua Fresca ,  Grilled Haloumi Watermelon Salad , and more. When it's in season, I love how it adds a refreshing texture to things and succulent sweetness that just scream, "Summertime!!" In case you don't have Bittman's cookbook, you can read his Watermelon Matrix online . He offers four categories - cocktail, salad, soup, dessert - and three variations of ...

I love the Fantastical Food Fight coordinated by Sarah of  Fantastical Sharing of Recipes . For more information about the event, click  here . I haven't been very good at participating, but this month, I couldn't resist. We were given the challenge of making a recipe with rum. So. Many. Possibilities. I did test a Honey and Rum-Glazed Salmon that didn't quite make the cut, but it was a nice starting point and a tasty dinner. All the Rum Creations An InLinkz Link-up Brennan's Bananas Foster This is a riff on the Bananas Foster recipe from the original creator of this dessert: Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans. In 1951, Chef Paul created Bananas Foster, naming it for Richard Foster, a frequent customer and very good friend. Ingredients 1/4 C butter 1 C organic granulated sugar 4 bananas, sliced into thick coins 1/4 cup dark rum 4 scoops vanilla ice cream Procedure Combine the butter and sugar in medium skillet....

I tested a few rum recipes for this month's Fantastical Food Fight hosted by Sarah of  Fantastical Sharing of Recipes . For more information about the event, click  here .  The recipe I picked will post later tonight, but I wanted to share this one as a bonus. It was a tasty dinner albeit a bit sweet for our palates. I'll have to play with it to get it a bit more savory. But it was good. Ingredients 3 T raw, unfiltered honey 3 T rum 2 T gluten-free soy sauce or tamari 1 T peeled fresh ginger, grated 1 T freshly squeezed lime juice  3 garlic cloves, peeled and pressed 1/4 t freshly ground black pepper  1 pound wild caught salmon filet Also needed: grill or grill pan, oil for the grill Procedure Whisk together first 7 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Place salmon in a shallow dish with a lid. Pour marinade over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Turn the fish at least twice during the hour. ...

This week, Christie of  A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures  and Cynthia of  Feeding Big  had us celebrating the bounty of farmers' markets. "If you can buy it at a Farmer's Market and can use it in a recipe...share it!" they urged. And here we are at day five. Boo. I had so much fun getting inspired from all my blogging pals. I, myself, shared Freshly Dug Potato Salad , Cabbage Slaw with Seasonal Herbs , and Spicy Summer Squash Refrigerator Pickles .  #FarmersMarketWeek Friday Recipes Avocot Salad with Raspberries by Palatable Pastime Cashew Vegetable Fried Rice by Red Cottage Chronicles Fresh Peach Milkshake by Family Around The Table Grilled Basil Chicken & Tomatoes by Jolene's Recipe Journal K.C.'s Zucchini Bread by Cooking with Carlee Raspberry Lemon Cupcakes by The Redhead Baker Rustic Tomato and Ricotta Tart by A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures Veggie Noodle Salad by Simple and Savory Watermelon Cucumber Mojitos by Culinar...
