February 2010 Valentines Cooking

Valentines Cooking February 2010
Every year this class is very popular so I decided to hold two sessions in February.
The first session was held on a Sunday so many children and students could attend.
The second session offered an opportunity to embellish with more richer chocolates and liqueurs.











クリスピーライス Crispy Rice Squares
10分で簡単!
In only ten minutes!
A classic sweet for kids. Almost every child growing up in the US would make these at home with your parents- if you had been especially good! Kellogs brand Rice Krispie"snap-crackle-pop!"cereal was hard to find. Most supermarkets in Japan sell the cocoa rice cereal. I had to go all the way to the US Army base to get the white, vanilla flavored cereal- but it was worth it !

January Cooking: Oysters Rockefeller

生がきFresh Oysters
Before starting anything we all had to learn...
How To Schuck Oysters

Using a thick kitchen towel, grip the oyster, flat side up, and force the tip of an oyster knife,(or in this case we used cheap metal butter knives)
which has an inflexible, pointed blade, between the shells just next to the hinge. Pry, twisting the knife, while at the same time trying to push the blade into the oyster, breaking the hinge. Run the blade along the inside of the upper shell to free the oyster, removing the top shell. Then scrape along the lower shell and remove the oyster if you´re serving it on the half shell, pick out any loose fragments of the shell, being careful not to spill the oyster´s delicious liquid. You can wash off the small broken particles of the shell with salted water. Keep the oyster happy. It looked harder than it was but everyone gave it a try! Each of us had one fresh raw oyster sprinkled with some fresh lemon juice and tabasco. It tasted great! But we saved the rest of the shelled oyster for the next dish!

オイスター・ロックフェラー(Oysters Rockefeller) Oysters Rockefeller is a famous oyster dish served at many restaurants throughout the United States. The dish consists of oysters on the half-shell that have been topped with various other ingredients (often spinach or parsley, cheese, a rich butter sauce and bread crumbs) and are then baked or broiled.

Combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce as desired.
すべての材料をスムーズになるまでよく混ぜ、お好みによりシーズニングとしょうゆを加えます。
1 garlic clove にんにく1かけ
2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach ほうれんそう2カップ
1 bunch watercress
1/2 cup chopped green onions みじんぎりしたたまねぎ1/2カップ
3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 無塩バター3/4カップ(室温に戻す)
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs パン粉1/2カップ
2 tablespoons Pernod or other anise-flavored liqueur Pernodリキュール 大さじ2

1 teaspoon fennel seeds, ground フェンネル 小さじ1
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce ホットペッパーソース 小さじ1
1 pound (about) rock salt 塩 1ポンド(454g)
24 fresh oysters, shucked, shells reserved 生ガキ24個 殻はとっておく。
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese パルメザンチーズ1/4カップ
Preparation
Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Finely chop garlic in processor. Add spinach, watercress and green onions to garlic. Process, using on/off turns, until mixture is finely chopped. Transfer mixture to medium bowl.
オーブンを約320C℃に熱します。にんにくをフードプロセッサーに入れ、みじん切りし、ほうれんそう、クレソン、玉ねぎを加えます。プロセッサーのON/OFFをうまく切り替え、よくまざったら、ボウルにうつします。
Combine butter, breadcrumbs, Pernod, fennel and hot sauce in processor. Process until well blended. Return spinach mixture to processor. Process, using on/off turns, just until mixtures are blended. Season with salt and pepper.
バターを加え、パン粉、リキュール、フェンネル、ホットソースをプロセッサーに入れ、よく混ぜます。すでに混ぜたものをプロセッサーに戻し、軽くまぜます。シーズニング、塩、こしょうを加えます。
Sprinkle rock salt over large baking sheet to depth of 1/2 inch. Arrange oysters in half shells atop rock salt. Top each oyster with 1 tablespoon spinach mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until spinach mixture browns on top, about 8 minutes.
塩1/2インチのクッキングシートにひろげます。カキ殻半分を塩の上に並べ、カキの上にプロセッサーでまぜたほうれんそうを大さじ1のせます。約8分、こげがつくまで焼きます。

Put flour, beaten eggs, and panko in separate plates. Coat oysters with flour, eggs, then panko. Fry the oysters in oil 350F /170 C until turn brown. Place thinly julienned cabbage on a plate and serve fried oysters on the side. We made fresh Tartar Sauce to go with the Fried Oysters, or Worchester Sauce, and I also recommend this ...
Spicy Wasabi Cream Sauce スパイシーわさびクリーム
2 Tablespoons powdered wasabi 粉わさび 大さじ21 Tablespoon water 水 大さじ11 Tablespoon soy sauce しょうゆ 大さじ13 Tablespoons heavy cream 生クリーム 大さじ31 Tablespoon sour cream サワークリーム 大さじ1

Christmas Cooking: Gingerbread and Eggnog

Christmas Cooking 2009
GINGERBREAD and EGGNOG
Of course no Christmas holiday would be complete without whipping up a batch of fresh Eggnog. I remember waiting at the dairy section of the supermarkets in early December, waiting for them to start selling red-labeled cartons of holiday eggnog. I would ask my mom to buy an extra carton-just in case Santa was extra-thirty that year! I wasn't a good boy because, in fact, I wanted to hoard the entire carton for myself! Eggnog is sweet, rich, and creamy and your heart stops when you see the empty bottom of your cup. Mind you, this was several years ago, when I was a small tike, but now that I'm an older, seasoned hog, I can partake of 'adulty' eggnog as my mom would often say-Eggnog with spirits; brandy, rum, whiskey or whatever grows hair on your chest is spiked into the grog. At the cooking class we made two versions: spirited eggnog for the 'adulties' and plain for the children. One of the children best described eggnog as 'drinking melted vanilla ice cream without having to lick.'

Eggnog History
Many believe that eggnog is a tradition that was brought to America from Europe. This is partially true. Eggnog is related to various milk and wine punches that had been concocted long ago in the "Old World". However, in America a new twist was put on the theme. Rum was used in the place of wine. In Colonial America, rum was commonly called "grog", so the name eggnog is likely derived from the very descriptive term for this drink, "egg-and-grog", which corrupted to egg'n'grog and soon to eggnog. At least this is one version...
Other experts would have it that the "nog" of eggnog comes from the word "noggin". A noggin was a small, wooden, carved mug. It was used to serve drinks at table in taverns (while drinks beside the fire were served in tankards). It is thought that eggnog started out as a mixture of Spanish "Sherry" and milk. The English called this concoction "Dry sack posset". It is very easy to see how an egg drink in a noggin could become eggnog.

German Chocolate Cake

German Chocolate Cake
ドイツのチョコレート・ケーキ
For the Christmas cooking classI wanted to make a cake that was both satisfying and also devilishly demonic in calories. The cake that came to mind was a household favorite of mine, the German Chocolate cake. My mother would often make this cake anytime of the year, not especially for Christmas. The funny thing is the name aroused doubt amongst my German friends, who told me they had never heard of such a cake- or couldn't even imagine any Germans craving coconut! The name come from an unusual story...
German Chocolate Cake is an American creation that contains the key ingredients of sweet baking chocolate, coconut, and pecans. This cake was not brought to the American Midwest by German immigrants. The cake took its name from an American with the last name of "German."
1852 - Sam German created the mild dark baking chocolate bar for Baker's Chocolate Company in 1852. The company name the chocolate in his honor - "Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate." In most recipes and products today, the apostrophe and the "s" have been dropped, thus giving the false hint as for the chocolate's origin. 1957 -The first published recipe for German's chocolate cake showed up in a Dallas newspaper in 1957 and came from a Texas homemaker. The cake quickly gained popularity and its recipe together with the mouth-watering photos were spread all over the country. America fell in love with German Chocolate cake.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE recipe
One big, tall 9-inch cake; about 16 servings
For the cake:
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chopped2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped6 tablespoons water8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature1 ¼ cup + ¼ cup sugar4 large eggs, separated2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon salt1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:1 cup heavy cream1 cup sugar3 large egg yolks3 ounces butter, cut into small pieces½ teaspoon salt1 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped1 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut, toasted
For the syrup:1 cup water¾ cup sugar2 tablespoons dark rum
For the chocolate icing:8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped2 tablespoons light
corn syrup1 ½ ounces unsalted butter1 cup heavy cream

1. Butter two 9-inch cake pans, then line the bottoms with rounds of parchment or wax paper. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Melt both chocolates together with the 6 tablespoons of water. Use either a double-boiler or a microwave. Stir until smooth, then set aside until room temperature.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, or by hand, beat the butter and 1 ¼ cup of the sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the melted chocolate, then the egg yolks, one at a time.
4. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix in half of the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture, then the buttermilk and the vanilla extract, then the rest of the dry ingredients.
6. In a separate metal or glass bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold soft, droopy peaks. Beat in the ¼ cup of sugar until stiff.

7. Fold about one-third of the egg whites into the cake batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites just until there's no trace of egg white visible.
8. Divide the batter into the 2 prepared cake pans, smooth the tops, and bake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool cake layers completely.
While the cakes are baking and cooling, make the filling, syrup, and icing.

To make the icing:
1. Place the 8 ounces of chopped chocolate in a bowl with the corn syrup and 1 ½ ounces of butter.
2. Heat the cream until it just begins to boil.
Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand one minute, then stir until smooth. Let sit until room temperature

To make the filling:
1. Mix the cream, sugar, and egg yolks in a medium saucepan. Put the 3 ounces butter, salt, toasted coconut, and pecan pieces in a large bowl.
2. Heat the cream mixture and cook, stirring constantly (scraping the bottom as you stir) until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the spoon (an instant-read thermometer will read 170°.)
3. Pour the hot custard immediately into the pecan-coconut mixture and stir until the butter is melted. Cool completely to room temperature. (It will thicken.)
To make the syrup:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar and water until the sugar has melted. Remove from heat and stir in the dark rum.

To assemble the cake:
Remove the cake layers from the pans and cut both cake layers in half horizontally, using a serrated bread knife.Set the first cake layer on a cake plate. Brush well with syrup. Spread ¾ cup of the coconut filling over the cake layer, making sure to reach to the edges. Set another cake layer on top.
Repeat, using the syrup to brush each cake layer, then spreading ¾ cup of the coconut filling over each layer, including the top.
Ice the sides with the chocolate icing, then pipe a decorative border of chocolate icing around the top, encircling the coconut topping.

The cake can be stored in a cool place for up to a week. It goes well with a hot cup of coffee and be sure not to skimp on the icing- the more the better!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving
Roast Turkey
We all came together to have a traditional Roast Turkey and fixings dinner. When I was growing up the best part of Thanksgiving was the time spent sitting around the table and sharing a finely roasted turkey and feasting on all the goodies...second helpings...third helpings...until I became a stuffed turkey myself!
Turkey is not a common dish in Japan and most of the cooked turkey you may happen to find in the supermarkets is processed, turkey-ish bologna slices.
Frozen turkeys can be found in speciality import shops, like Cost Co., or Kinokuniya.(I got these birds from the US Base in Yokosuka) but the bigger problem is finding an oven that will house the bird while roasting. Most families homes in Japan don't have adequate sized ovens. So, the cooking room we rented had 4 large gas heated ovens.
The used the follow recipes:
