    I attempted to present the Caramel-Topped Semolina Cake as an elegant dessert fit for dinner parties.

    Roast chicken in anticipation of Thanksgiving! So good, and it inspired me to roast the turkey liver inside the cavity and eat it before dinner!

    A Very Happy Thanksgiving to all my cyber friends. I have eaten so much I can hardly move. My kids are out shopping with the nighttime Black Friday sales. I’m ready to fall asleep even though it is way too early, but we all over did at my house…eating, cooking, eating, and washing all those mountains of dishes and did I mention eating… but we did it…we made today a wonderful and traditional Thanksgiving day for our family and friends. It was nice to relax earlier this week with the caramel-topped semolina cake…it was simple delicious!

    Last November recipe, caramel-topped semolina cake!

    Finally did the semolina cake tonight. I like it a lot. The kid likes it enough, but wants to see how it is when it’s fully cooled. James is afraid to try it (he doesn’t like hot cereals at all, and I think he wouldn’t like this, either, so I’m not pushing it).

    Happy American Thanksgiving! Just came home from the most lovley American Thanksgiving dinner with just enough time for a nap before heading south for a little Black Friday Shopping! Seriously American Thanksgiving is starting to become my favorite holiday!

    This week I made Pumpkin Gorgonzola Flans. Enjoy!

    if the phrase synergy refers to things which are greater than the sum of their parts … what is the word for things that are less??

    I made the pumpkin and gorgonzola flan – 2 ingredients that I absolutely love – yet, I thought the final product was bland and uninspiring. It wasn’t savory. It wasn’t sweet and savory. it wasn’t much of anything at all.

    Totally disappointing.

  13. RedsKitchenDiaries November 26, 2010 at 5:39 AM #

    whoops – let’s try that again … this time OUT of preview mode. …

    This week I made the Caramel-Topped Semolina Cake, the recipe that scared me the most. It was a success.

    I chose the potato gratin with a few additions to make into a main course–loved it! http://brandnewcrayons.com/2010/11/26/pommes-dauphinois-becomes-lunch-with-bonne-idees-french-fridays-with-dorie/

  18. Waverly @ peaceandloveinthekitchen.com November 26, 2010 at 10:05 AM #

    ALL FOUR RECIPES AT ONCE: OUT OF 4 STARS, THE VOTES ARE IN
    chicken: ****
    potato gratin: ****
    pumpkin gorganzola flan:
    semolina cake: ***

    The incredible flavors going on with the chicken belie its’ simple preparation. I loved that and will make it again and again. I made the potato gratin using half Idaho and half sweet potato with some parmesan cheese mixed in with the Gruyere. Loved it. The pumpkin flan was a FLOP. The Semolina cake was lovely….I knew not to expect a regular desert in this case. It was different, but delicious and added more than a sweet ending to the meal. It sparked a great discussion.
    Here are the photos which are on my blog, http://www.peaceandloveinthekitchen.com:

    I missed all of the November FFwD, so I splurged and did two this week. Semolina Cake was my second. http://brandnewcrayons.com/2010/11/26/caramel-topped-semolina-cake-french-fridays-with-dorie/

    I made the pommes dauphinois and was in total heaven!!! Except for the blood part! (Nothing to do with a chicken!!)

    I made the insanely delicious Potato Gratin! Words can’t even describe how good this is, you must make it! Thank you so much Dorie, I’m now in love with your Potato Gratin.

    The pumpkin flan did not go over as well as I thought it would….but my 1 1/2 year old liked it! Weird.

    • LaJuana November 26, 2010 at 8:46 PM #

      Thanks for mentioning Dorie’s Spiced Cranberry Bundt Cake. I made her All-In-One Holiday cake this week and it was a hit…I bet this one would be too! And I do have extra cranberries!

  27. SisBoom November 26, 2010 at 2:02 PM #

    I still can’t believe these beautiful potatoes were turned away from our Thanksgiving table. Thankfully, they could make other plans:

    The pumpkin gorgonzola flans were a side dish on a crowded Thanksgiving table.

    Pumpkin flans appeared as a side dish yesterday. We enjoyed them, but I will twice as much gorgonzola the next time.

    I made the chicken and fell in love with this recipe. I can’t say enough about how delicious and moist it was. Looking forward to the left overs tonight.

    Pumpkin Gorgonzola Flans this week at Frankly Entertaining. I really enjoyed the flavor combination, but I’m still undecided as to whether I’ll make them again.

    Potatoes Gratin … I’m going to have to do two things, buy a smaller baking dish….and make this again with a layer of spinach in the middle…maybe a layer of mushrooms too. This just begs to be played with!

    So many technical difficulties getting this up today! I made the Caramel semolina cake for Thanksgiving dessert. I loved it and had a piece for breakfast this morning!!

    Oh, how much we enjoyed this chicken! I was wise and cut up several pieces of baguette, knowing that the bread is most delicious:) But, my chicken is invisible – too much wine, too much fun, too much euphoria = no photo of the beautiful bird.

  42. Dorie November 27, 2010 at 1:08 PM #

    Hello all and a very, very Happy (if slightly belated) Thanksgiving to you and the people you love sharing your food with,

    I’m sorry that you haven’t heard from me for a while — I’ve been on the go and just a little swamped when I’m home — but I’ve skipped around and seen what many of you have been cooking and, as a result, my husband wants to know why we can’t have Hachis Parmentier and Potato Gratin every night. No, he doesn’t care about balance or variety, but he does know what he likes. : – )

    Traveling around the country for Around My French Table, I got to meet many of you and I *loved, loved, loved* seeing you. I hope that in the coming year, I’ll get to meet more of you.

    I also hope that in the coming days I’ll have more time to visit your blogs and reply to Ps&Qs.

    As I have been from the start, I’m so incredibly touched by your enthusiasm and generosity and talent and imagination. Merci — lots.

    xoxoDorie

      How about skipping out west to Gilbert, AZ…we could keep you busy signing books here too! And, this is the time of year that most people just love being here.

  55. maryeats November 29, 2010 at 2:02 PM #

    Late to post, but here’s what I tackled this month- minus a photo of the pumpkin flan.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryeats/5218730810/ I loved this chicken recipe, though the bread at the bottom of my pan was too oily for me. When dinner generally takes me an hour to prep and I use up near all the mixing bowls, the man appreciated only having to wash one pot, for the lazy or the crafty? I prefer the latter.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryeats/5218731316/ We added blanched spinach and proscuitto to the gratin as per Dories’ Bonne Idea. DELICIOUS. Just another reason I love this book. Dorie gives us a blue print for dinner but allows to decorate to our personal taste and really make the dish ours. Dishes that we’d share with family and friends and ultimately become around our family table.

    As for the flan, eh. I was really excited to try this recipe, but in the end I wish I had been eating a gorgonzola flan dotted with pumpkin. After reading other FFWD posts I’d like to go back and try it with cheese and nuts at the bottom and replace the pumpkin with sweet potatoes. I’ve used canned pumpkin a few times this season and I find it really light and watery.

    And after all that, I’ve got my blog up an running. I’m still maryeats, but I’m blogging at Peaseporridgepdx.wordpress.com Come visit!
