BUCHE DE NOEL (YULE LOG)
WAY back in the 80's, I attended chef school and one of the recipes we made was for a Buche Noel. It was very labor intense, but very tasty and very pleasing to the eye...If you have the time it is well worth it

YULE LOG (BUCHE DE NOEL) MCCALL'S COOKING SCHOOL
I cut this recipe out of the December 1973 (the month my DS was born) issue of McCall's magazine. If you're a chocolate lover and love to impress people with your artistry, this is the recipe for you! A lot of directions but don't be intimidated, it's actually quite easy. And my kids LOVE it! (Cooking time does not include chilling times.) EDITED TO ADD: After seeing all these lovely photos, I feel like my more simple version looks "under dressed"... I sprinkle powdered sugar over the un-iced "log" and serve whipped cream on the side of each slice.

TRADITIONAL FRENCH BUCHE DE NOEL RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Butter a 10 x 15-inch jelly-roll pan with a 1-inch lip and line it with parchment paper. Butter the parchment or spray it with cooking spray. Set the pan aside.
- Beat the eggs for 5 minutes, until they turn thick and foamy.
- Add the sugar, orange liqueur, orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs and continue beating for 2 minutes.
- Fold the flour, a few tablespoons at a time, into the whipped egg mixture.
- Once the flour is incorporated into the batter, stop mixing. Do not overmix or the cake will bake up into a tough texture.
- Gently spread the batter into the prepared pan. Gently smooth any peaks of batter but do not press the batter down.
- Bake the cake for 10 minutes, until the cake is just set.
- Invert the baked cake onto a clean, dry kitchen towel and peel off the parchment paper. Wait 3 minutes and then gently roll the cake, still in the towel, starting at the 10-inch end. Allow it to cool completely.
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a clean, completely dry bowl beat the egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Set them aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and 2/3 cup water to a boil. Allow it boil until it has reduced into a slightly thickened syrup.
- Begin beating the egg whites on high speed again, and pour the hot sugar syrup into the eggs in a slow, steady stream.
- Add the espresso powder, and vanilla extract into the egg whites and continue beating until thick and glossy.
- Remove 4 tablespoons of the meringue and set to one side.
- Continue beating and add in the melted chocolate and keep beating until the meringue has cooled completely.
- Add the softened butter to the meringue, 2 tablespoons at a time, while beating on high speed, until all of the butter is incorporated into the frosting. If the buttercream becomes runny at any time in this process, refrigerate the meringue until it has chilled through and continue the process of beating the butter into the meringue.
- Unroll the cake and set aside the towel. Evenly spread 2 cups of the chocolate buttercream on the inside of the cake, following its natural curve, gently form it into a cake roll.
- Cut off the ends on the diagonal and reattach them in the center of the cake with a bit of buttercream to create a branch.
- Spread the exterior of the buche de Noel with enough chocolate buttercream to cover it and gently pull a butter knife or small, offset spatula through the frosting to give the appearance of rough tree bark.
- Again using a spatula, cover the ends of the logs with the reserved light-colored cream.
- Finish by adding decorations like meringue mushrooms to complete the festive look.
- Chill the cake before serving it and refrigerate any leftovers.

BUCHE DE NOEL
This is the best recipe for the traditional Christmas cake that looks like a tree log. It has over the years won many awards for me in food competitions, however it is a very time consuming recipe. What's that old saying? Good things come to those who wait? ...or in this instance those that take their time to create!

ORANGE-WALNUT BUCHE DE NOEL
This multilayered dessert is much easier to put together than you might imagine. The chocolate bark requires a bit of precision, but then it's simply a matter of tearing it into shards. The tuiles and acorns are optional, but they enhance the log's rustic appearance (and can be made ahead and stored in airtight containers). To mimic the exact design of the tuiles, you will need a leaf stencil, found at crafts stores.

ORANGE CHOCOLATE MELTAWAYS
The terrific combination of chocolate and orange makes these some of the best truffles I've ever had. As holiday gifts, they're showstoppers. I have little time to cook, but when I do, I like to "get fancy." In this case, "fancy" doesn't have to be difficult. -Lori Kostecki, Wausau, Wisconsin
