About

Hello everyone!

This is our about us page! After a little bit, I've finally figured out how to do this type of page, so I moved the stuff from the post that I'd made earlier that was basically the "about us" to here, so now it's easy to access. If you're new, we'll introduce ourselves: the Three Chefpos! We three Chefpos work in this Chez Chefpo to bring you our tasty homemade recipes so you too can enjoy them. Without further ado, the Chefpos!

Li'l Chefpo

Li'l Chefpo's a bit of a beginner chef, sadly to say. But why am I using third person? I am Li'l Chefpo! While I also try to assist in the cooking like Chefpo Jr., I'm the behind-the-scenes producer/editor! You may know me as... Bloggerpo!

Pretty amazing, right? So why do I sign off all the posts with "Chefpo"? Am I participating in identity theft? Nah, it just seems more professional to not have "Li'l Chefpo" at the bottom of every page. Plus, I wasn't the one who made them. But watch out! Whenever Chefpo Jr. or I make something, it'll be signed off with whoever made it. Also, Chefpo Jr. might be writing some posts in the future too!

That's all for today! Feel free to ask any questions about any of us, and maybe I'll do a Q&A in the future!

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake

Welcome back! Today, we have a cake featuring an interesting fruit: the fig! Figs are typically eaten dried or in some processed form because they don't stay fresh for long, so making this dish out of fresh figs was quite nice. Once completed, the fig flavor blends in very well with the rest of the cake and creates a dessert that is flavorful but not overly rich. Fig Crème Fraîche Cake Makes a 9" cake Ingredients: 1/2 pound figs, quartered (if you have big figs, maybe 6-8 slices) 120 grams cake flour 50 grams almond flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 50 grams sugar 60 grams honey 120 grams crème fraîche 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier 1/2 cup melted butter Directions: In a bowl, sift in the dry ingredients (cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt). Mix this together. In another bowl, put in the sugar, honey, and crème fraîche, and mix them together. One add a time, add the eggs and mix thoroughly. Add in the vanilla ...

Brownie Cheesecake Makes a 9" round pan Ingredients: Brownie: 6 ounces dark chocolate 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter 2 tablespoons brown sugar 6 tablespoons sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 75 grams cake flour 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 teaspoon espresso powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Chocolate chips (optional) Cheesecake: 8 ounces ricotta cheese 8 ounces cream cheese 4 ounces plain greek yogurt 2 eggs 50 grams sugar 1/4 cups dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, blueberries) soaked in rum/brandy/Grand Marnier Lemon zest (optional) In place of the ricotta cheese, you could use another 8 ounces of c...

Pearl Meatballs

Welcome back! Today, we have a unique recipe that comes from Central China: Pearl Meatballs! The name is quite interesting but makes sense: they're meatballs, but the translucence of the sticky rice that coats the meatball mirrors the luster of a pearl. It's often served on special occasions, like Lunar New Year, where everyone gathers for a feast and can enjoy this delicious dish. Plus, it's not even that difficult to make! Pearl Meatballs Makes about 30 meatballs Ingredients: For the meatballs: 1/2 pound ground pork 1/4 pound shrimp 80 grams (about 1/2 can) water chestnuts, finely chopped 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon rice wine 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 egg white For the rice: 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice Directions: Rinse the glutinous rice and soak in water for 2 hours. In a bowl, place all the ingredients for the meatballs and mix until even. The mixture...
