I stumbled across The Wednesday Chef very recently, and I immediately became obsessed with Luisa’s recipes. She gets them from the New York and LA Times’ food sections, which appear on Wednesdays. I love that she even posts recipes that didn’t work out… sometimes I feel as though my fellow food bloggers prepare perfect and effortless food every day, but Luisa reminds me (not often, mind you) that not every recipe turns out exactly the way you planned.
Yesterday, I decided, like her, to try my hand at one of the recipes piling up in my recipe box, and what I tried were these: le Pain Quotidien’s Belgian Brownies. The recipe was perfect as-is, so I won’t post it here, but it’s over at her site if you want to copy it so get over there and copy it. Now. I brought a box of them in to the newspaper office while we did layout yesterday afternoon. There are none left. I only got half of one, but what I got was tender and delicious. The chocolate power is intense, and seeing as these cakes are near flourless, they are very light and moist.
On top of everything, the recipe was ridiculously easy. It’s going into my top five for desserts… I think I’ll get to taste a whole Belgian Brownie yet.
