## Rose-Tinted Recipes to Celebrate the Launch

To truly celebrate the launch of the rose-colored “Beautiful” kitchenware collection, we’ve curated a selection of recipes that incorporate ingredients and flavors that complement the rosy theme. These recipes are designed to be approachable for home cooks of all skill levels.

### Recipe 1: Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Rose Vinaigrette

This salad is a celebration of color and flavor, with the earthy sweetness of roasted beets, the tangy creaminess of goat cheese, and a delicate rose-infused vinaigrette. It’s perfect as a light lunch, a side dish, or even a sophisticated appetizer.

**Ingredients:**

* 4 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 5 ounces mixed greens
* 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

**For the Rose Vinaigrette:**

* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 tablespoon rosewater
* 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
* 1 teaspoon honey
* 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
* Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**

1. **Roast the Beets:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Wrap them in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly, then peel and slice into wedges.
2. **Prepare the Vinaigrette:** In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rosewater, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
3. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted beets, goat cheese, and walnuts. Drizzle with the rose vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
4. **Serve:** Serve immediately and enjoy!

**Why it Works with the Collection:** The vibrant colors of the beets and greens beautifully complement the rose tones of the kitchenware. The salad can be easily prepared using the “Beautiful” measuring cups and bowls, and the finished dish can be served on rose-colored plates for a cohesive aesthetic.

### Recipe 2: Rose Petal Jam with Scones (Made with the Beautiful Stand Mixer)

This recipe is a bit more involved, but the result is a truly special treat. Rose petal jam is a fragrant and delicate confection that is perfect served with scones or toast. Making the scones from scratch is easy with the Beautiful stand mixer.

**Ingredients for the Rose Petal Jam:**

* 2 cups fresh rose petals (ensure they are pesticide-free and culinary-grade)
* 4 cups granulated sugar
* 2 cups water
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice

**Ingredients for the Scones:**

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 4 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
* 3/4 cup heavy cream

**Instructions for the Rose Petal Jam:**

1. **Prepare the Rose Petals:** Gently wash the rose petals and pat them dry. Remove the white base of each petal, as it can be bitter.
2. **Combine Ingredients:** In a large pot (ideally a Dutch oven from the “Beautiful” collection!), combine the rose petals, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
3. **Simmer the Jam:** Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the jam thickens and reaches your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
4. **Add Lemon Juice:** Stir in the lemon juice and cook for another 5 minutes.
5. **Sterilize Jars:** While the jam is simmering, sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.
6. **Fill Jars:** Carefully pour the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean, place the lids on, and tighten the rings.
7. **Process Jars (Optional):** For longer shelf life, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. If not processing, store the jam in the refrigerator.

**Instructions for the Scones:**

1. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In the bowl of your Beautiful stand mixer, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. **Cut in Butter:** Add the cold butter cubes and use the paddle attachment to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. **Add Cream:** Gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. **Shape Scones:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out scones.
6. **Bake Scones:** Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. **Serve:** Serve the scones warm with the rose petal jam and clotted cream (optional).

**Why it Works with the Collection:** This recipe showcases the versatility of the “Beautiful” collection. The Dutch oven is perfect for making the jam, ensuring even heat distribution and preventing sticking. The stand mixer makes quick work of the scone dough, and the rose petal jam itself has a delicate pink hue that complements the collection’s aesthetic.

### Recipe 3: Pink Lemonade Cake Pops (Baked in the Beautiful Air Fryer)

These cake pops are fun, festive, and surprisingly easy to make, especially when using the “Beautiful” air fryer. They’re perfect for parties, celebrations, or just a sweet treat.

**Ingredients:**

* 1 box pink lemonade cake mix
* Ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
* 1/2 cup pink lemonade
* 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting
* Pink candy melts
* Lollipop sticks
* Sprinkles (optional)

**Instructions:**

1. **Bake the Cake:** Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box, substituting pink lemonade for the water. Bake the cake in a baking pan that fits inside your “Beautiful” air fryer. Alternatively, bake in the oven according to box directions.
2. **Cool and Crumble:** Let the cake cool completely. Then, crumble it into a large bowl.
3. **Mix with Frosting:** Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
4. **Shape Cake Pops:** Roll the cake mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. **Melt Candy Melts:** Melt the pink candy melts according to the package instructions. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy and insert it into a cake pop.
6. **Dip Cake Pops:** Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, making sure to coat it completely. Gently tap off any excess candy.
7. **Decorate:** Decorate with sprinkles while the candy is still wet.
8. **Let Set:** Place the cake pops in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to allow the candy coating to set completely.

**Air Fryer Option (if cake is baked in a smaller pan):**

1. Line your “Beautiful” air fryer basket with parchment paper.
2. Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket.
3. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for the appropriate time, check often. Baking time varies based on the size and the cake pan used.

**Why it Works with the Collection:** The “Beautiful” air fryer makes baking the cake a breeze. The pink lemonade flavor and pink candy coating tie in perfectly with the rose theme, and the cake pops are a fun and playful addition to any celebration.

### Recipe 4: Raspberry Rose Macarons

Macarons are notoriously finicky, but the reward is a delicate, beautiful cookie. These raspberry rose macarons are a stunning addition to any dessert table and perfectly embody the collection’s aesthetic.

**Ingredients:**

* 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
* 1 cup powdered sugar
* 3 large egg whites, aged
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* Pink food coloring (gel)

**For the Raspberry Rose Filling:**

* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 2 cups powdered sugar
* 2 tablespoons raspberry puree
* 1 teaspoon rosewater
* Pink food coloring (optional)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare Almond Flour Mixture:** In a food processor, pulse the almond flour and powdered sugar until finely ground. Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
2. **Make Meringue:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. **Add Food Coloring:** Add a small amount of pink food coloring to the meringue and mix until evenly colored.
4. **Macaronage:** Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue in three additions, using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be smooth and flow like lava. This process is called macaronage. The right consistency is crucial. Test it by dropping a dollop of batter back into the bowl – the ribbon should disappear in about 20-30 seconds.
5. **Pipe Macarons:** Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe 1 1/2-inch circles onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Tap the baking sheets firmly on the counter several times to release any air bubbles.
6. **Rest Macarons:** Let the macarons rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface. This is important for creating the characteristic “feet” of the macarons.
7. **Bake Macarons:** Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, or until the feet have formed and the shells are set. Let cool completely on the baking sheets before removing.

**Make the Raspberry Rose Filling:**

1. **Cream Butter and Sugar:** In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. **Add Raspberry and Rosewater:** Add the raspberry puree and rosewater and mix until well combined. Add pink food coloring, if desired.
3. **Assemble Macarons:** Pipe the raspberry rose filling onto the flat side of one macaron shell and top with another shell. Repeat with the remaining shells.
4. **Chill:** Chill the macarons in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

**Why it Works with the Collection:** The delicate pink color and sophisticated flavor of these macarons perfectly complement the rose-colored kitchenware. The precision required for making macarons highlights the importance of quality kitchen tools, such as accurate measuring cups and a reliable oven (or even the air fryer, for smaller batches, if the oven temperature isn’t consistent). The Beautiful stand mixer is very useful for making the meringue and the buttercream.
