The fact is that what I watch and what I read influences what I cook. When I was rereading Lord of The Rings a few years ago I created mushroom dishes that made my husband flee from the kitchen. It took me three weeks to read the whole series, and I used mushrooms in almost every dish for that time period. It got to the point where he cried when I said we were having a portobello shrimp salad.
Recently, I've popped in Mad Men. In one of the episodes some of the housewives were eating a cinnamon crumb coffee cake. I realized I had to make this. It became my mission to track down a recipe from the 60's that would recreate that taste. I found one: Cinnamon Coffee Cake.
Here are some tricks. 1. Beat the egg until smooth. 2. Beat in sugar until smooth. 3. Add butter slowly.
It almost floated off the plate.
