Hi,

so let´s try something what we do at the chefkoch (chiefcook) each weekend.

It is a nice idea to inspirate other to bake something what they don´t know... :P :P

OK. I will begin....

If unique is what you are looking for here is something I plan to bake this weekend. My entire family including my kids are not big into chocolate so I make this walnut squares which are a replacement for brownies in my house. The best part is that they are easy easy if you have the right ingredients.

Note: Use the same cup to measure everything. I normally use a large coffee cup

2.5 cups of finely ground walnuts
3/4 cup of semolina
1 cup of milk powder
2 sticks of unsalted butter melted
1.5 cups of sugar
A nice pinch of saffron (if you don't have it you can skip it but the flavor it adds is something that cannot be paralleled)
A nice pinch of freshly ground cardamom
5 large eggs beaten

In a large bowl, add walnuts, semolina, milk powder and sugar, saffron and cardamom. Now stir in the butter and eggs. Pour in a large baking dish (pyrex is fine) and bake at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Close to 30 minutes check them to ensure they don't burn. Continue to bake until a toothpick comes out clean (approx 40 minutes is what it takes)

I like to bake them in a shallower pan so that the mixture cooks all the way. I don't like to make them very fat and deep (hope that makes sense). I have a very large corningware pan that I use to bake these.

Remove and let them cool. Then cut and store them in a cool dry place.
They are so delicious that you can even serve with warm with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla icecream.
 
Pain au chocolat, breton sable cookies, challah, profiteroles, triple indulgence chocolate cookies.

I had a dinner party for 19. It was very good.

The cake was delicous, but very, very, very sweet. Our recipes here are not so very much sweet. But very delicous. ;) :P
