  • Spitfire Girl's Own Savory Puff Pastry Recipe!

    We at Spitfire Girl love to snack, and we recently enjoyed these amazing puff pastries in the office so we thought we should share the recipe with you! 

    We were delighted at how easy and fun it was this was to make! Not to mention how creative your can be with your ingredients.

    Feel free to switch up this recipe with what ever you want.

     For instance, we had a bunch of blueberries from the farmers market, so we added some blueberries to one batch and made a sweet version too! One savory and one sweet! It's a win win!

    Here is what you will need for the Savory Puff Pasty. 

                   

    Preheat oven to 450

    1 package of frozen puff pastry defrosted

    Dijon mustard

    Thinly sliced good salami

    2 kinds of your favorite cheese, (We used Gruyere and Parmesan!)

    Portabello mushrooms sauteed

    One beaten egg

    Salt and pepper

                      

    Lay one sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Lay one sheet of puff pastry onto pan. Keeping a 1 inch border, brush dough with mustard, then arrange salami. Place a layer of sautéed mushrooms down then sprinkle a layer of cheese. Add salt and pepper. brush the border with egg wash. Roll the second piece of dough on top. Brush the top with egg wash. Chill in the fridge for 15 min until it is cold. Trim edges and pop into the oven for 25 to 30 min.  Allow to cool for a few minutes, cut in squares and serve hot and enjoy! 

                      

    We love this dish as the perfect pairing for some afternoon cocktails!

    Total time 55 min.

    Happy Cooking!

    Love,

    Spitfire Girl

  • Spitfire Girl and Auntie Em's !

    We at Spitfire Girl love all things cupcake and delicious so breakfasting out of the office to meet with Auntie Em's Kitchenette founder, author, punk-rocker, and all around bad ass chick, Theresa Wahl, was a treat! 
     
     
     
    Theresa Wahl is the author of our new favorite cookbook, The Auntie Em's Cookbook, A Musician's Guide to Breakfast & Brunch. In it, she expertly pairs tasty home inspired recipes with a colorful collection of tunes for the complete cooking experience.

     

    Delectable recipes for sweet things like Orange Ciabatta French Toast are paired with equally pleasing songs like California Paradise by The Runaways. 
     
     
     
    We sat down with Terri in her new Auntie Em's location in downtown Los Angeles to talk a little bit about the inspiration behind her new book. 
     
    When asked how she picked out songs for each recipe, Terri explained that she was trying to create a mood.
    "The jarring and canning section is all blues - like you're sitting on your porch in the South canning, making blueberry preserves and listening to blues music - it was just a feeling."
      
     
     
    We love Theresa and we love the Shaker Lemon Pie recipe (among others!)  We cant wait to blast Siouxsie and the Banshees while we're whipping up this luscious lemon dessert! 
     
     
     
    The Auntie Em's Cookbook, The Musicians Guide to Breakfast & Brunch is available now online and at our retail locations!
     
     
     
     
    Happy Cooking (and singing!) 
     
    Love, 
    Spitfire Girl
