raspberry blackout cake

Feb 25, 2006 02:02

Does anyone have a recipe for the "raspberry blackout cake w/ganache frosting"? I know I saw it in the Vegan with a Vengeance book and I want to make it for my friend tomorrow, but I can't find the darn book for the life of me! Even if it's not the exact recipe, some other type of cake similar to it, perhaps ( Read more... )

I know what you mean. I'm a Korean adoptee and I'm just now really getting into learning about Korean culture. I just found out that what I usually get at restaurants has beef broth in it. Culture vs personal beliefs is tricky for me ( ... )

yeah. i know allll about the beef broth! depending on which restaurant you go to, you still have to be pretty careful. almost all of the dishes you mentioned above can be slipped with meat. i know my mom, for example, likes to put beef in the bibimbap and japchae.
also in a lot of instances, kimchi is made with oysters or some other seafood for taste.
i really want to made a lot of the soups, like yook gae jang, or kim chi jji gae, but it's just not the way mom used to make. :(
oh wells, i guess that can't be helped.

good luck with your exploration of the korean culture! there are so many beautiful and respectful things about it that i hope you get to see. :)

Straight from Isa. I like this link because she answered questions people had about it.

girlgirl February 25 2006, 19:50:00 UTC

oh. that's super convenient. Thanks for the link.

supercarrot February 25 2006, 20:11:14 UTC

yep. don't forget to check the memories or do an LJseek search (on the info page) cause chances are, it's already in here. :-)

girlgirl February 25 2006, 20:22:29 UTC

yeah. i couldn't find the exact recipe though. i did find a link to isa's site, but i didn't take the extra step to look for the recipe on her site. my bad :X.

Do you have this cookbook?

I haven't tried a ton of the recipes, but the oi kimchi and the duk bok gi were yummy (a Korean friend agreed!).

girlgirl February 25 2006, 20:23:56 UTC

ooh. that looks like a great book. are there a lot of recipes in there?

iswari February 26 2006, 01:15:20 UTC

About 180 pages worth! =)

kalakumari February 26 2006, 03:16:03 UTC

I actually have that book, and I don't like it at all. If you'd like I can send it to you. I don't have a lot of good things to say about that book
