Do you remember lining up for brunch at Mildred Pierce? Well, we certainly do, which is why it was an honour to meet Donna Dooher on Monday. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not surprising that her personal motto is ‘Cook with Love and Reckless Abandon.’
Here are the Mildred Temple Kitchen recipes that she prepared on the show.

Whisky Egg Nog by Mildred’s Temple Kitchen 6 large eggs, separated • 3/4 cup sugar • 1 vanilla pod • 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg • 2 cups 2% milk • 3 cups 35% cream • 3 oz proof whisky • Marshmallows
METHOD: Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow ribbon forms. Heat cream, milk and vanilla pod over medium heat. Remove vanilla pod. Pour 8 ounces of warm liquid into egg yolk mixture and whisk (this is called tempering the eggs and it prevents eggs from curdling). Add egg mixture into pot with the remaining warm milk and cream. Whisk over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Cool mixture to room temperature and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours. Beat egg whites into stiff peaks. Whisk egg whites into chilled egg mixture. Add proof whisky and mix. Top with marshmallows (use a handheld blow torch to toast your marshmallows) or whipped cream and a pinch of grated nutmeg. Enjoy. MAKES 12 SERVINGS
Mildred’s Cheddar Shortbreads 1 tsp cayenne pepper • 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1 tsp salt • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour • 1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened • 1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated
METHOD: Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together the cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and the all purpose flour. Cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until soft and light. Add the cheddar cheese and mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients gradually and continue to mix well. Roll the dough into 1” thick cylinders. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm. Slice into disks 1/4” thick. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. MAKES 3 DOZEN
Wild Mushroom & Goat Cheese Tart 1 - 10” No Fail Pastry pie shell, chilled • 1 lb assorted sliced mushrooms, lightly sautéed • 3/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled • 1 T fresh marjoram, chopped • 1 T fresh thyme, chopped • 1 1/2 cup 35% cream • 3 eggs • 1 tsp dijon mustard • 1/2 tsp salt
METHOD: Preheat the oven to 400º F. Whisk together eggs and Dijon mustard. Add the cream to the egg mixture and whisk gently (take care not to over mix as you don’t want to incorporate too much air into the eggs). Add herbs and salt to egg mixture. Pour mixture into tart shell. Add sautéed mushrooms and crumbled goat cheese to the top of the mixture distributing evenly. Bake for 10 minutes at 400º F. Reduce the oven to 350 ºF and bake for 20 minutes or until the tart is golden and the middle jiggles slightly when tapped.
No Fail Pastry 3 cups all purpose flour • ¼ tsp salt • ¼ lb unsalted butter, cold • ½ lb shortening, cold • ½ cup ice water
METHOD: Sift the flour and salt into a large, stainless steel bowl. Grate in the butter and shortening using a box grater. Work the butter and shortening into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the ice cold water, a little at a time, bringing the dough into a rough ball (you may not need all the water, use only as much as it takes to bind the dough). Divide in half and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 20 - 30 minutes or until needed. This pastry freezes beautifully as well. MAKES PASTRY FOR 4 x 10” PIE SHELLS
