Searing the Beef

For a whipped ganache, chill the mixture until firm, then beat with a hand or stand mixer until fluffy.
Use dark or milk chocolate instead of semi sweet for variation.
Gently rewarm refrigerated ganache in short bursts in the microwave or over low heat before using.

This simple ganache is smooth, glossy, and endlessly versatile. Pour it warm over a cake, whip it into frosting, or let it set slightly to spoon between cupcakes. A two ingredient staple that never fails.

about me

Screenshot 2025-09-12 at 9.52.59 AM.png

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
