Ok, now this looks dangerous. If you’re into baking this is something that you’ll want to try.

Warning, it’s only for people who have leveled up their cooking skills.

This months Daring Bakers challenge was a Danish braid and I was really looking forward to making it. The Danish braid is made with Danish pastry dough which is made by folding dough with butter into many layers. The Danish dough should bake up nice and light and buttery and flaky. I had been wanting to try making a multi-layer dough that puffed up when cooked for a while …

Is Kosher cooking for Gnomes to, or does one have to be in the real world? The latter, I think, since there doesn’t seem to be any such thing in the World of Warcraft. Fun to think about, though. Why bring it up? Because if you’re into Kosher cooking you should check out the Kosher Cooking Carnival at West Bank Mama.

There’s nothing like a good Barbecue.  The Orcs in Orgrimmar understand this, which is why they have huge bonfires all over the city. For those of us in the real world our BBQing is a little less… energetic.

Most of us have the basic Webber  type grill, some are a little fancier and have the nice gas grills, and others have a full blown outdoor kitchen. And some of us are just a bit worried about cooking overlive coals and buring our food top a crisp (don’t worry, the dog won’t mind.)

Well, have no more worried. StartCooking.com has a very nice post for those of us wanting to get into the sumer barbecue thing:

It’s not as complicated as it looks. If you’re thinking about buying a barbecue, we’ll break down the pros and cons of charcoal and gas grills. For those just finding their way around a grill, we’ll follow up with some of the first steps to throwing some food on the barbie. And for those who are already all fired up, we’ve got some recipes ready to go, as well as a slew of barbecue tips and tricks. And even if you’re a city slicker like Kathy, and outdoor grilling isn’t an option, indoor grilling is. Stay tuned to startcooking.com for more grilling posts over the summer!

I thought this was rather funny. The Angry Man’s Guide to Patriotic™ Cooking covers cooking in a manly fashion. Out are the stir-fries and in are 2lb hammers. Hmmm, I wonder what a Dwarf or Orc would use? A clip:

I think this one is more for the Elf crowd, Dwarves and Orcs would likely prefer something  … stouter.

• Three tasty ways to kick off the season, from a classic cocktail to wines for grilled fare

Did you ever see 5th Element? Remember the scene where Leeloo puts a pill into the microwave and a full course dinner comes out? We’re not there yet, but here’s a post that points to a step in that direction.

• Cooking by numbers… the Smartchef

Orcs and trolls get a cooling Galgar’s Cactus Apple Surpise in their starting area. And while this salad recipe isn’t made be either Orcs or Trolls, it does look cool.

A tomato and red onion salad is a quick, easy, refreshing, delicious dish that is great at midday when the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove. It is dressed simply with olive oil, fresh basil, oregano and salt, and you’re welcome to throw in whatever other veggies you like; we especially enjoy cucumbers in this.

Found a fun looking pasta recipe on LisaCooking. Looks to me like a recipe that should be in WoW, even though it isn’t. What do you think?

That really isn’t the name of this recipe (The Beast’s Goulash.) However, when I told Madison I was making Goulash she told me that The Beast from Maggie and Ferocious Beast (it’s a show on Noggin for those of you who don’t have kids) LOVES goulash. Hence, we came up with this name, and I don’t remember what its really called anymore. As you can hopefully see from the picture on the left (if not, Will has it all over his face and hair), this easy to make recipe is a huge hit with everyone here!

Here’s the rest: the Beast’s Goulash

It’s a pretty simple recipe, so I don’t think you need to have leveled up your cooking skills too far.
