In case you missed it, Sandwich Showdown on the Oprah Winfrey show to re-air!!
Got a call on Friday from Jim, the producer I worked with on the Oprah Winfrey show earlier this year, and he informed me that by popular demand, they will be re-airing the Sandwich Showdown espisode again, so in case you missed it, here’s the chance to watch me in action, lol…
Tuesday, December 30th – check your local listings for the time!!
Have a wonderful day!
Individual Molten Chocolate Cakes
Serves 4
Time to prepare, start to finish – 30 minutes
Now if you’re like me, and LOVE CHOCOLATE, then this is one recipe you’ll go nuts over!! This molten cake is sure to be a hit with the upcoming holidays approaching. Recipe can be doubled or even tripled, easily. Super simple, yet very impressive, this is one that you’ll want to make again and again.
Ingrediants:
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- 4 oz 70%-cacao bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 whole large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp all-purpose flour
• Preheat oven to 450ºF with rack in middle. Butter ramekins and dust with cocoa powder.
• Slowly melt butter (1 stick) in a small heavy saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth.
• Beat eggs, yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and tripled in volume. Fold in warm chocolate mixture and flour gently but thoroughly. Pour batter into ramekins and arrange ramekins in a 4-sided sheet pan.
• Bake cakes until puffed and just starting to crack on the surface (cakes will still be wobbly), 8 to 10 minutes.
• Immediately invert a plate on top of each ramekin and reinvert. Let stand 1 minute, then gently remove ramekins
Equipment: 4 (6-oz) ramekins (2 1/4 inches tall) or 4 (8-oz) ramekins. Can be served with ice cream!
Enjoy!!
In case you were wondering…
This is where I’ll be for part of the weekend, welll here and LA…hopefully next year, if I’m not swimming with a million things to do, I can be more than just a guest. But until then, I really don’t have a problem eating great food, and drinking fantastic wine, 
Have a wonderful week!!

1/2 way mark, YAY!!
Hello Friends,
I am happy to announce that I have reached the half way mark with the cook-book, and let me tell you something – it’s a lot harder than it would appear!! A lot, and I mean A LOT goes into the creation of a book in general, but when penning a cook-book there’s all sorts of things you have to keep in consideration because the end result is that you want people to LOVE your recipes, and you want them to also be recipes that are easy to follow and to make.
Having said that, my apologies for such a long gap in between updating my blog. I’ll try to do better,
As a reward for having such gracious readers, I’ll be putting up a recipe a week for you to try at home, and of course, I’d love whatever feed-back you’d like to provide. I’m not that huge where I don’t value your opinions…yet, lol!!! I’m kidding, and I promise that no matter how famous I’m about to become, I’ll always stay grounded and level-headed.
And now I must go. Have to finish my letter to the soon-to-be-president, asking him what he’d like to eat for his inaugural meal, :) …hey, crazier things have happened, right, I mean who ever thought I’d cook for Oprah, right?!?!?!
Take care of yourselves till next week my friends, *hugs*
