Foodiecrush magazine (foodiecrush.com) debuts online. Lots of colored photos and recipes acquired from food bloggers. I discovered it only this a.m. and thought I'd share the news.

I had a very quick gander and it looks interesting, lots of drool worthy photos.

I did find a recipe that I am going to try this weekend

Grilled Pork Loin Roast with Balsamic and Raspberry Chili Glaze

There are a couple of articles that caught my eye, I just need a cup of tea and an hour of free time.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I browsed more yesterday and must say I am disappointed that there have been only 2 issues since the magazine’s first issue last November. I read through the “About” section to see if there was intent to publish more frequently. I found nothing mentioned. I hope publication will be kicked up to monthly. Now that my interest is peaked I want to see more issues sooner rather than later.

I copied off this Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream recipe, but there were lots of other recipes listed that I would also love to try. The digital photos make everything look amazing.

Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
(from Cuisinart Recipe Booklet)
Makes about 6 cups

1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural, I used Jif)
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped chocolate peanut butter cup candies (about 15)
1/4 cup butterscotch caramel topping

1. In a medium mixing bowl combine the peanut butter and sugar and mix with hand mixer set to low until smooth. Add milk and mix on low until sugar dissolves, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight.

2. Freeze milk mixture according to mixer directions (my mixer calls for 15 to 20 minutes to thicken.) Add chopped candy and butterscotch caramel topping and mix for 1 to 2 minutes or stir in by hand. The ice cream will be soft and creamy. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2 hours for a firmer consistency. Allow to thaw 15 minutes before savoring every luscious bite.


NOTE: The ice cream maker referenced in the recipe is a 1.5 qt. Cuisinart with freezable bowl.


How did the pork roast turn out on the grill, ctr264? I just looked at the recipe online. I did not realize it called for brining beforehand. I don't believe I've ever heard about brining a pork roast before -- not even on the cooking shows I've watched. Do you think I could cook it using an electric rotisserie (I have an old Farberware), instead of directly on a grill?

I put the pork in the brine in the morning and cooked it for dinner, so it was in for about 8 hours. The pork was tender. I could see making this in the fall/winter in the oven on low heat and I probably wouldn't bother with the brine.

I did reduce the sauce by half as only 2 people here eat sauce with their meat, it was quite tasty. I may try and make the sauce with blackberries next time. The sauce would also go nicely with chicken.

I don't see why you couldn't use your electric rotisserie. I've never cooked on one before, but if there is a temp control I would set it to medium low, if no temp control, I would just watch it a little more closely.

The term "food porn" is used often to describe delicious-looking photos of food. Not report worthy.

That's not what was being reported. The second quote was from someone or something that seems to translate text from a post to another language and then translate that back to English. So "food porn" becomes "meals adult." The same "member" has done this on other threads, transforming "Louise Penny" into "Louise Cent" or something similar. He, she, or it has been reported several times already.
