Proof of life. Fractured wrist so limited cooking, but Im leveling up my ice cream making skills. (Please come get some, I can't be trusted with 24/7 ice cream access).
On this second part I have to say Special thanks to Nikos for giving his best self and whatever tendons were left on his hands to make the best Tsoureki 🤤 (I hope his gp won’t see this post😂) Thank you all for joining us, it’s an honour and I never take it for granted x SEE YOU ON THE NEXT ONE, wine who?!? 😉 LOVE, R x
TSOUREKI workshop aka eat as much sugar as you can in 2 weeks of preparation 🫠 I had THE best time, I hope you did as well! It was an absolute pleasure to spend Sunday evening with an excellent group of people, some friends and some friends-to-be 💛 Even the ones who thought they were better at eating them than making them left with a couple of delicious loaves they made! You should be proud of yourselves xxxx R part. 2 coming!
Triple Toasted Vanilla Ice Cream 🍦
This is all about the Maillard reaction - toasting and caramelising elements to achieve bigger depth of flavour!
(I don't understand why people use the term Vanilla to describe something basic or lame. Vanilla is THE king of natural flavours/aromas).
So we char the the vanilla pod, toast the milk powder until golden, caramelise part of the sugar, and voila - vanilla is sexier than ever.
