    • 2 medium size mixing bowls
    • 1 large mixing bowl
    • 1 medium pot
    Instruction: 
    1. Whip 4 egg yolks with a 1/2 cup of sugar in a large mixing bowl.  Whip until it is a light white-yellow in color and fluffy.
    2. Mix 1 tablespoon of gelatin into a 1/2 cup cold water in a small mixing bowl. Stirring constantly to make sure the gelatine dissolves.
    3. Next heat up the orange juice in a medium pot on high heat on the stove.  Remove from the stove and add the dissolved gelatine.  Stir constantly to ensure the gelatine is dissolved.  Then, let the mixture cool for at least 10 minutes.
    4. Next whip the 4 egg whites in a medium size bowl until stiff. Set aside

    Serving instructions  
    When the orange fromage is almost stiff, spoon into either a serving bowl or individual glasses. If you want to kick it up a notch, create an orange into an individual serving bowl.
    To create an individual orange bowl 
    Using a sharp knife, cut an orange in half.  Then remove the inside of the orange by scooping out the flesh. You now have a bowl made out of orange peel to use for the orange mousse. Now spoon in the orange fromage to the rim of the orange peel. 
    Keep either the serving bowls, individual glasses or the orange bowls in the fridge until ready to serve. Decorate with additional whipped cream.  Add either an thin slice or orange peel, fruit or chocolate on top before serving. This is a fun and tasty way to present the orange fromage dessert! Chill for several hours or until firm.

    Classic Latkes


    Its back-to-back latkes! Id apologize for the lack of variety, and for the fact that Im yet again shunting you to another website to get the recipe (this time to The Oregonian), but honestly Im too busy trying to avoid skinning my knuckles on the box grater to care. Hannukah starts this week, people! Where did that come from?

    In addition to preparing for our own household celebration, Im busy filling our freezer with a small army of potato pancakes for our annual Latkesplash party. Ill probably also make a batch of ruggelach, and a pot of matzo ball soup to warm people up (and round out the Taste of Ashkenaz sampler). But, as the party title suggests, its all about the latkes. And my latkes, they are delicious. Check out the story here, and learn how to make simple latkes stellar.

    And as a bonus, I toss out another oil-themed tidbit: a recent radio story I produced on Oregon farmers who are trying to grow olives. Happy Hanukkah!
