Panetela de Guayaba & Tortilha com Chourico

June 1, 2010 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

With the incredible wealth of recipes available on foodblogs these days, it’s a wonder anybody still buys cookbooks!

I made Aleida’s Panetela de Guayaba (Guava torte) on Sunday and was delighted by both its simplicity and  its short, tender crumb.  I baked it in a lined biscotti tin rather than the pyrex dish recommended, and gave it 35 minutes in my fan-forced oven at 165C.  The guava paste was a chance find at Paesanella and gives the dish a distinctive sweet centre, although you could probably substitute quince paste if necessary.  Aleida’s recipe is here.

. . . . .

For dinner that same night, Pete made Dorie Greenspan’s Tortilha com Chourico; an easy, cream and cheese-free frittata filled with sausage and potatoes.   We only had one chorizo, so Pete added four regular sausages as well, which had been boiled gently and sliced. A simple, yet delicious, evening meal and only one pan to wash up at the end of the night!

    both look delicious. i love love love potato dishes of this sort! i can never tire of potatoes.

    about books – i agree, there’s so many resources online. but still, i love my books, i can’t imagine not having them. i just ordered 8 new ones. i’ve been meaning to get ‘ad-hoc’ for a long time, and when i finally set to get it i saw i had a few saved titles, plus i just got an ice-cream maker, and had no ice-cream recipes… and they all have such pretty pictures now. i have this older bon appetit extra, called ‘special occasion desserts’. from ’85 i think, not the glossy kind, very beautifully illustrated. i sometime like to just thumb through it, reading the recipes, even if i have no intention of making anything from it. it’s just so pretty.

    You know I’ve often wondered if food blogs affect sales of cookbooks. I suppose it might be more the internet as a whole that does-who knows! :) Although from the looks of the number of titles being released, it doesn’t seem so. And agreed, omelettes make an amazing, quick weeknight dinner! :D

    Both look delicious. And to think – I may be one of the lucky neighbours for a few days in August!

    i still love to browse around my cookbook and food magazines collection. however, i also love to read food blogs with personal stories. i think there is room for both markets.

    I wonder if cookbook authors sell more if they have blogs and share a few recipes, so people can get an inkling of their style, or less, because people can access some recipes for free?

    I know I’m certainly more likely to try a recipe if it’s been showcased on a blog, and if I think back over the past 12 months, all the cookbooks I’ve bought have been influenced by online reviews or blogs. It’s actually a win win, I haven’t bought what I consider a “dud” for ages now! BUT, I have bought far fewer cookbooks that I have in previous years.
