Gravy

ingredients

As well as your roasted veg and roast chicken, you’ll need:
• 1 heaped dessertspoon plain flour
• a wine glass of red wine, white wine or cider, or a good splash of port or sherry
• 1 litre vegetable, chicken or beef stock, preferably organic


method

There are two things that make a good gravy: a vegetable trivet, which is the layer of vegetables in the bottom of your roasting tray that your meat sits on; and the juices from a roasted piece of good-quality meat.

As long as you always use a vegetable trivet and buy good-quality meat, your gravy will taste like heaven whether you use water or stock. Follow my method for making gravy and you’ll never look back.

To make your gravy
• When you come to make your gravy, your chicken will be covered and resting and you’ll have your tray of chicken juices and vegetable trivet in front of you
• Using a spoon, carefully remove 90 per cent of the hot fat from the tray by angling it away from yourself and scooping off the fatty layer that settles on top
• Put the tray back on the hob over a high heat
• Add the flour, stir it around and, holding the tray steady with a tea towel in one hand, use a potato masher to mash all the veg to a pulp – don’t worry if it’s lumpy
• You can rip the wings off the chicken and break them up into the tray to add more flavour at this point
• When everything is mixed and mashed up, add the alcohol to give a little fragrance before you add your stock (the alcohol will cook away)
• Keep it over the heat and let it boil for a few minutes
• Pour the stock into the tray, or add 1 litre of hot water
• Bring everything in the pan to the boil, scraping all the goodness from the bottom of the pan as you go
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until you’ve achieved the gravy consistency you’re looking for

To serve your gravy
• Get yourself a large jug, bowl or pan and put a coarse sieve over it
• Pour your gravy through the sieve, using a ladle to really push all the goodness through
• Discard any veg or meat left behind
• At this point you’ve got a really cracking gravy, and you can either serve it straight away or put it back on the heat to simmer and thicken up
• Depending on which meat I’m serving it with, I’ll add a teaspoonful of horseradish, mustard, redcurrant jelly, cranberry, mint or apple sauce – you certainly don’t have to, but I think the little edge of complementary flavour you get from doing this is brilliant

christmas pudding

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Marinating Time: 12 hours
Total Time: 20 hours, 45 minutesIngredients:
•Serves 8 - 10 1lb /450g dried mixed fruit (use golden raisins/sultanas* , raisins, currants)
•1 oz /25 g mixed candied peel, finely chopped
•1 small cooking apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped Grated zest and juice
•½ large orange and
•½ lemon
•4 tbsp brandy, plus a little extra for soaking at the end
•2 oz /55 g self-raising flour, sifted
•1 level tsp ground mixed spice
•1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
•4 oz /110 g shredded suet, beef or vegetarian
•4oz /110g soft, dark brown sugar
•4 oz /110 g white fresh bread crumbs
•1 oz /25 g whole shelled almonds, roughly chopped
•2 large, fresh eggs
Preparation:
•Lightly butter a 2½ pint/1.4 litre pudding basin.


•Place the dried fruits, candied peel, apple, orange and lemon juice into a large mixing bowl. Add the brandy and stir well. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to marinate for a couple of hours, preferably overnight.
•Stir together the flour, mixed spice and cinnamon in a very large mixing bowl. Add the suet, sugar, lemon and orange zest, bread crumbs, nuts and stir again until all the ingredients are well mixed. Finally add the marinaded dried fruits and stir again.
•Beat the eggs lightly in a small bowl then stir quickly into the dry ingredients. The mixture should have a fairly soft consistency.
•Now is the time to gather the family for Christmas Pudding tradition of taking turns in stirring, making a wish and adding a few coins.
•Spoon the mixture in to the greased pudding basin, gently pressing the mixture down with the back of a spoon. Cover with a double layer of greaseproof paper or baking parchment, then a layer of aluminum foil and tie securely with string.
•Place the pudding in a steamer set over a saucepan of simmering water and steam the pudding for 7 hours. Make sure you check the water level frequently so it never boils dry. The pudding should be a deep brown color when cooked. The pudding is not a light cake but instead is a dark, sticky and dense sponge.
•Remove the pudding from the steamer, cool completely. Remove the paper, prick the pudding with a skewer and pour in a little extra brandy. Cover with fresh greaseproof paper and retie with string. Store in a cool dry place until Christmas day. Note: The pudding cannot be eaten immediately, it really does need to be stored and rested then reheated on Christmas Day. Eating the pudding immediately after cooking will cause it to collapse and the flavours will not have had time to mature.
•On Christmas day reheat the pudding by steaming again for about an hour. Serve with Brandy or Rum Sauce, Brandy Butter or Custard.

Left over Christmas pudding can be reheated by wrapping tightly in aluminum foil and heating through in a hot oven.

Ingredients

Serves: Prep: 15min |Cook: 50min |Total: 1hr 5min

FOR THE LAMB:
1 cup panko (japanese) bread crumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 (6-rib) frenched racks of lamb (1 1/2 pounds each), trimmed of all but a thin layer of fat, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons dijon mustard

FOR THE RISOTTO:
6 cups homemade chicken broth, or quality store-bought
2 whole star anise
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
1 fennel bulb, halved, cored, and sliced
1 cup arborio or carnaroli rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions

1.To make the lamb: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.In a wide shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, sage, rosemary, mint, and red-pepper flakes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the oil and rub the bread crumb mixture with your fingers to evenly moisten. Set aside.
3.Season the lamb on all sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper. You should see the seasoning on the meat. Coat a large, wide ovenproof skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and place over mediumhigh heat. Lay the lamb racks in the hot oil, fat side down. Sear on all sides, turning with tongs, for 3 minutes, or until well-browned. Carefully remove the lamb from the skillet and brush the mustard all over the meat. Dredge the lamb in the bread crumb mixture, being sure to coat evenly.
4.Return the lamb to the skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the lamb reads 130°F when an instant read thermometer is inserted into the meat. Remove the lamb from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest before cutting into the chops.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5.To make the risotto: In a medium pot, combine the broth, star anise, and coriander over medium-low heat and keep warm.
6.Coat a large, deep skillet with the oil and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and fennel. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the rice and stir for 1 or 2 minutes, or until well-coated. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the wine and simmer for 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.
7.Pour in 1 cup of the warm broth. Stir with a wooden spoon until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid. Keep stirring while adding the broth little by little, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender but slightly firm to the bite. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and cheese.
8.(directions continue in Recipe Notes)

Recipe Notes
To serve, divide the risotto among 4 plates, top with a lamb chop, and garnish with mint.

crunch cake

脆脆焦糖 (Sponge Toffee)
材料:

100g砂糖

25g粟膠/粟米糖漿 (corn syrup)

25g水

5g梳打粉 (baking soda, bicarbonate of soda)


做法:

(1) 用一個長柄小鍋 (不用易潔), 加人砂糖, 粟膠和水拌勻



(2) 中火煮滾約5分鐘, 期間不用攪拌, 糖慢慢會變得較稠, 顏色變成淺黃









(3) 繼續用中火煮, 期間拿起鍋的長柄慢慢搖一下, 確保焦糖顏色均勻, 直至糖變成金黃色便離火



(4) 一手加入梳打粉, 另一手用木匙快速拌勻約20秒, 期間不要停手, 直至膨脹減慢, 快手倒入已鋪好焗爐紙的焗盆內



(5) 靜待約15分鐘焦糖已完全冷卻後, 將它放入密實袋內封好, 用麵掍輕輕打碎至每粒約手指頭大小, 即成為脆脆焦糖


小貼士:

(1) 煮焦糖全程約為10分鐘, 但由於每個爐具的火力不同, 就算同是中火, 火力也會不同, 所以時間不能作準, 最好憑顏色斷定, 如果用易潔鍋, 鍋本身的顏色難以斷定煮焦糖顏色的轉變, 故宜用普通有柄小鍋

(2) 煮焦糖的頭5分鐘, 糖漿看起來顏色不會有改變, 只是質地略稠, 期間不要動它; 要小心糖漿一開始變為淡黃色, 很快顏色便變深成金黃色, 淺啡色, 茶色, 所以要小心看着, 一變成金黃色便要離火, 否則做成的脆脆焦糖已燶

(3) 離火的意思是熄火並移離爐具

(4) 煮好成金黃色的焦脆有餘力, 一加入梳打粉後熱力會持續煮焦糖, 所以煮焦糖至金黃色便可以, 待拌勻梳打粉後便剛好成焦糖, 如果將焦糖煮至淺啡色甚至茶色, 一加入梳打粉後熱力便會將焦糖煮燶有苦味

(5) 梳打粉的作用是做出那脆脆焦糖的一個個小孔, 形成脆脆的特質, 所以一加入梳打粉便要快手攪拌, 確保拌勻, 而且時間太久的話, 鍋的餘溫會令焦糖變燶

(6) 脆脆焦糖做好後連密實袋放於存氣的密實盒內保持香脆

(7) 剩下的脆脆焦糖除了可以伴雪糕外, 還可以代替咖啡糖來調咖啡, 咖啡會變成焦糖咖啡, 帶一點Starbuck Caramel Machiato味道

(8) 沾有焦糖的用具如小鍋和木匙只要用水浸約15分鐘, 糖便會溶掉方便清洗

戚風蛋糕

材料:

3隻蛋黄

4隻蛋白80g 砂糖 (分成2份, 各40g)
少許幼鹽

50g 低筋麵粉

40ml 鮮奶

50g菜油 (或橄欖油)

做法:

(1) 蛋白加一半份量的砂糖(40g) 和幼鹽隔水加熱至38oC (人體體溫為37-38oC, 所以用手感覺到微暖便可), 一邊用打蛋器拌勻, 讓其熱度均勻, 離火; 用電動打蛋器快速打蛋白, 蛋白的體積會慢慢變大, 氣泡開始多而細少, 打至蛋白的紋路慢慢清楚, 而且消散的時間減慢, 轉慢速續打至企身備用

(2) 將蛋黄和餘下的砂糖隔水加熱至38oC (人體體溫為37-38oC, 所以用手感覺到微暖便可), 一邊用打蛋器拌勻, 讓其熱度均勻, 離火

(3) 以電動打蛋器快速打蛋至均勻, 加入牛油和鮮奶, 稍稍拌勻後開動電動打蛋器攪拌均勻 (否則蛋漿會彈出來)

(4) 將低筋麵粉一次過篩入, 用刮刀由盆邊放入, 沿盆邊像畫圓圈般手勢, 再反手摺入麵粉, 不斷重複直至攪拌均勻 (動作要快, 切記輕手, 否則會破壞蛋糊的細泡, 焗好的蛋糕便不夠鬆軟)

(5) 將1/3蛋白拌入麵糊中拌勻, 再將其餘拌入蛋糊內, 輕手而快速地用刮刀拌勻

(6) 倒入焗模內 (蛋糊流下來時呈絲帶狀), 放入已預熱170oC的焗爐內焗約25分鐘

whipped cream

: 2 teaspoons gelatin, 4 teaspoons cold water, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.... Combine gelatin and cold water. Whip the cream, and add confectioner's sugar. Add gelatin mixture and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until the gelatin is incorporated. Heating gelatin in the microwave never works for me, so I heat mine on the stovetop. Less mess, more consistent result.

Serves 8 to 10 method

This recipe somehow made its way on to the menu in the Fifteen Trattoria (I don’t know of many Italian trattorias that have American cheesecake on their menus!) and I’m glad that it did because it’s absolutely delicious.As you can see, the ingredients are all pretty everyday things. However, my tip for getting the very best out of this recipe is to make sure that you try and get the best ingredients that you possibly can.Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4, and grease and line the bottom and sides of a 24cm springform cake tin. Mix the biscuits and butter in a bowl, press into the base of the prepared tin and cook for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool.Turn the oven up to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Combine the sugar and cornflour in a bowl. Add the cream cheese and beat, ideally with an electric whisk, until creamy. Add the eggs and beat well. Gradually add the cream, beating until smooth, then beat in the vanilla seeds or extract and lemon and orange zest.Scrape the mixture on to the biscuit base, and gently shake it to level out the surface. Put the cheesecake in the centre of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling has set around the edges. (A piece of foil over the top will stop it browning too much.) Let it cool at room temperature and serve after 2 or 3 hours, or, for a slightly firmer texture, put it in the fridge until it’s nice and cold.Before serving, put the cherries in a pan, sprinkle over the sugar and add a splash of water. Put on a low to medium heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. If you’ve got some port or whisky handy, feel free to add some. When the compote has reduced down it may be a little dry, so add a splash of water to loosen it. Remove from the heat and let it cool down, then serve spooned over the cheesecake with a dusting of icing sugar.

Alongside his baking expertise, Kenny is responsible for training and mentoring the chef apprentices in the skill of artisan bakery. "Fifteen is great because everything is cooked with integrity – you can always trace where the ingredients are from and that’s important to me. Also there's so much you can do with the apprentices, you can teach them the basics but there's also the Swiss and French style bakery that’s invaluable learning. Baking is such a dying art and is one of the oldest and most important skills we can teach the apprentices."Here's Kenny's favourite recipe for rosemary focaccia, best made in a wood fired oven.Combine the bread flour, 00 flour, water, yeast and salt in a mixing bowl and kneed gently until smooth. This should take approximately 5-10mins. Cover the mixing bowl with a tea towel and leave to rest, in a warm place, for 45 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size. This allows the bread to become lighter and softer in texture. Whilst the dough is rising, prepare a baking tray by lightly oiling the base and sides using vegetable oil. Now’s a good time to make sure your wood fire oven is pre-lit and ready for your bread. Transfer the dough to the baking tray. Spread out evenly using the palm of your hands and gently expel the gas from the dough (you’ll notice that the dough is airy). Drizzle some olive oil over the surface of the dough using your fingertips; 'dimple' the dough ensuring that you don’t press all the way through to the base. Cover with tea towel and leave to rest in a warm place for a further 20-40mins, or until the dough has doubled in size. Place the baking tray in the wood fire oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden; this will vary depending on temperature so it's best to keep a close eye on the bread for your first attempt. Just prior to the bread coming out of the wood fire oven, mix together the topping of 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk lightly until it becomes an opaque emulsion. Once removed, brush the bread with the emulsion (I use a pastry brush), which makes the bread surface moist. To finish, stud the bread with fresh sprigs of rosemary and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm with a small bowl of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Kenny Rankin is Fifteen's Head Baker with over 20 years experience.

Yam fries

Ingredients
Yam fries:
1 large yam or 2 small
splash of vegetable oil
salt and pepper

Chipotle ketchup:
1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp malt vinegar
1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder

Curry mayo:
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
1/2 tsp curry powder



Method
Yam fries:
While the oven preheats to 400F, peel the yams, chop into sticks, and chuck them into a large mixing bowl. In goes a generous splash of vegetable oil, then a tickle of salt and pepper. Stir the whole thing to make sure all the fries are coated with the oil. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Then flip and bake them for another 12 minutes.

Chipotle ketchup:
Reduce the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium/low heat until it thickened to a ketchupy consistency (about 10-15 minutes). Next, stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, and chipotle chili powder. Take it off the heat and pop it in the fridge until the yam fries are done.

Curry mayo:
Just mix it up in a small bowl! Easy or what?

Marshmallows

Strawberry Marshmallows (Adapted from Egullet - Nightscotsman)

4 envelopes gelatin (30 grams)
1/2 cup strawberry purée
1 1/4 cups water, divided
3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioners' sugar
potato starch

In a large mixing bowl, stir together strawberry purée and 1/2 cup water. Sprinkle gelatin over the top and set aside to soften and bloom.

In a heavy saucepan, add granulated sugar, corn syrup, remaining 3/4 cup water and salt. Cover saucepan and bring to a boil over medium to medium-high heat - uncover and allow to cook until it reaches 240 degrees (soft-ball stage).

Using the whisk attachment to your mixer, turn the speed to medium and carefully pour the hot syrup gradually down the side of the bowl - keep the speed around medium so the mixture doesn't splash out of the bowl. When all of the syrup has been added, increase speed to high and beat until the mixture is very fluffy and stiff, but still pourable, about 8-12 minutes.

Meanwhile, sift together equal parts confectioners' sugar and potato starch - I used roughly1/3 cup of each.

When the marshmallow mixture is ready, scoop it into a 9" x 13" baking pan lined with parchment paper and coated with nonstick spray. Smooth the top level with an offset spatula that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Dust the top with the confectioners' sugar mixture and set the pan aside until the marshmallows firm up, about 8 to 10 hours.

Dust the top of a cutting board with the confectioners' sugar mixture - turn the marshmallows out onto the cutting board and peel away the parchment paper. Dust the marshmallow slab all over with the confectioners' sugar mixture. Using a thin, sharp knife, slice the marshmallow into the desired size and shape. Dip all cut edges in confectioners' sugar mixture, shaking off any excess, to keep the marshmallows from sticking.

Makes several dozen depending on the size they are cut into.

Joues de Boeuf Confites (Braised Beef Cheeks)

Joues de Boeuf Confites (Braised Beef Cheeks) At Le Bistrot Paul Bert, chef Thierry Laurent transforms beef cheeks, a humble, relatively tough cut, into a meltingly tender entrée by first marinating the beef in a heady mixture of red wine and aromatic herbs and then braising it for four hours in the marinade until the meat becomes supple and fork-tender.


4 lbs. beef cheeks or beef chuck, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 750-ml bottle dry red wine
1 bay leaf
1 onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 whole clove
Kosher salt and freshly ground black
pepper, to taste
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 cups beef or veal stock
1 calf's foot (about 1 1⁄2 lbs.)
8 oz. button mushrooms, stemmed,
halved, and steamed
5 oz. bacon, cut into 1⁄4" cubes and
cooked until crispy
4 oz. large pasta, preferably conchiglioni
or large shells, cooked al dente
20 pearl onions, steamed and peeled
6 small carrots, steamed
2 tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

1. Put beef cheeks, garlic, thyme, wine, bay leaf, onion, celery, and clove into a bowl; cover and refrigerate 1–2 days. Transfer beef cheeks to a plate, reserving marinade. Pat beef cheeks dry and season with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a 6-qt. Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add beef cheeks and cook,
turning, until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer beef cheeks to a plate.

2. Heat oven to 325˚. Add reserved marinade to pot along with beef stock and calf's foot; boil for 5 minutes. Nestle beef cheeks in liquid and cover them with a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit the inside of the pot.
Cover pot, transfer to oven, and cook, turning beef cheeks every hour, until tender, about 4 hours.

3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef cheeks to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Skim fat from surface of
cooking liquid. Set a fine strainer over a 2-qt. saucepan and strain cooking liquid, discarding solids. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce until liquid has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.

4. Transfer beef cheeks to a clean dutch oven. Pour sauce over beef cheeks and add mushrooms, bacon, pasta, onions, and carrots. Cover pot and bake until vegetables and beef are warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve hot and garnished with parsley.

SERVES 6

pan fried quail

Ingredients
3 × whole quail
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
30g unsalted butter
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 4 minutes
Serves: 3

Method
First, remove the wish bone from the neck. Pull the skin up towards the breast meat to expose the wish bone, slice down either side of the bone and release it with your fingers until it snaps out.
Second, remove the breasts from the quail. Slice down the breast bone with a very sharp straight knife. Keep the knife next to the breast bone and continue to slice the breast meat away until it comes off in one piece. Do the same on the other side and place the meat onto a plate.
Next, remove the legs. Pop out the thigh bone and slice down between the ball and socket. Slice underneath the leg and around so you get as much meat as possible. Remove the upper thigh bone by pushing your thumb and index finger underneath it and slide it along to release the bone, then simply snap it off. Repeat this for all the other legs and place them onto the plate with the breast meat.
Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter has stopped fizzing place the breasts and legs into the pan, skin side down. Cook them for 2 minutes until they are golden brown, then turn only the breasts over.
Cook them for a further 1 minute before turning the legs over. Then, after another 1 minute, take the breasts out and continue to cook the legs for a further 1 minute.
Breasts: first side = 2 minutes, second side = 2 minutes
Legs: first side = 3 minutes, second side = 2 minutes.
Remove the breasts and legs respectively and place them onto a clean plate to rest for 5 minutes before serving. We served the quail with roast parsnips, braised green cabbage and a wild mushroom and smoked pancettia quail jus.

chocolate truffle cake

Ingredients
3 cups Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
8 large eggs, chilled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
2 ounces Ghirardelli White Chocolate baking bar, chilled

Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Arrange a rack in center of oven. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 by 2-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl with an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the eggs and salt on medium speed until doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Gently fold the whipped eggs, a third at a time, into the melted chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Prepare a water bath for the cake by placing the cake pan in a larger pan, and filling the large pan halfway up the sides of the cake pan with hot, but not boiling water.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and is set in the center. Remove the pan from the water bath to a cooling rack, and cool the cake completely in the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. To remove the cake from the pan, dip the pan in warm water halfway up the sides and run a thin metal spatula around the inside of the pan. Invert onto a plate to unmold and remove the parchment paper.
To prepare the ganache, bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour the heated cream over the milk chocolate chips. Stir gently until smooth and allow to cool slightly. When the ganache is still warm to the touch, pour over the top of cake and spread with an offset spatula to evenly cover (There will be some ganache leftover.)
Chill the cake until the ganache sets, about 30 minutes. To garnish, grate the white chocolate bar on top of cake.

Turkey

The PERFECT Christmas TurkeyThere's nothing more festive than a roast turkey for Christmas, shared with friends and family. Roasting a turkey may seem to be a daunting task but don't let the silly giant bird intimidate you! In fact, I always like to make a turkey simply because it is low maintenance, and the long cooking time means you have plenty of time to slowly prepare everything else for a perfect gathering.
This recipe has been changed and adapted by many, froman original 3 page recipeby Heston Blumenthal (and I would commend anyone who tries to attempt that!). A touch of advice was added by Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP, I've thrown in some of Jamie Oliver's notes and added a homemade herb butter rub and stuffing for the full fair. There are ways to cut corners to minimize the hard work, and I will show you how - after all, you want to be dressed and looking fresh as a daisy when your guests walk in, not sweating over the kitchen.

There are a few things that I find are really important to a perfect turkey:

A good roasting tray with a wire rack (to raise the bird)
The overnight soak in brine
Herbed butter
Remember the rule: 35 mins of oven time to every kg
Get your turkey delivered - boy are they heavy to carry otherwise!
Note:I used a 4kg Free Range Antibotic Free TurkeyfromSam the Butcher- you can order it online and have it delivered to your doorstep on the day of preparation! They will remove the giblets and clean it for you as well.

The Day Before: Soak in brine



½ cup coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
¾ cup dark brown sugar
4kg free range turkey
lemon and thyme
In a medium sized saucepan, heat the salt and sugar in 2 cups water, and add 1 whole lemon (just throw it in!) and a few sprigs of thyme. The salt and sugar will gently dissolve over low heat and the aroma from the lemon and herbs will gently infuse the brine.

Turn the heat off, and pour this mixture into the biggest pot you have, as it has to be big enough to keep the entire turkey submerged.

Add the turkey, then add cold water until the turkey is just submerged. Cover in glad wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Tip: If you have a giant turkey and not a single pot large enough to submerge it, you can use a garbage bag!

5 hours before the party starts: Prepping and Stuffing




Salt and Pepper
1 block of Butter, room temperature
Turkey thyme (dried thyme - crushed to resemble a powder) & Sage
Stuffing usually needs to be cooked and prepared the night before, but with the amount of Christmas shopping, card writing and tree decorating, we're not going to do that! Instead, I've opted forSam's Christmas stufferinstead. This turkey recipe is actually marvelous without stuffing, but I just can't seem to get my head around the concept. I love stuffing!

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse with cold water. Pat completely dry with paper towels.

Mix butter (enough to cover the inside and outside of the bird) with the thyme, salt and better.

This is the messy part. Insert a baking spatula under the skin of the turkey from it's rear and open up the skin, and spread knobs of herb butter under its skin (and along with the sage leaves, get your fingers in there). This is optional but it does add to the flavour later on.

Add some stuffing loosely in the turkey's cavity. You don't want to pack it in tightly, as that affects how the heat travels inside the turkey. You want to give it some room so the hot air from the oven can travel in and out.

Tie up the legs with cooking twine, then rub the herb butter all over the outside and sprinkle with a liberal amount of black pepper and bit of salt.



Oven time: It's getting hot in here

2 cups Chicken Stock

Flip your bird over, and place breast-side down in a roasting pan. Loosely cover the top with foil to minimize drying and cook for 35min per kg in a fan forced oven set to 170°C.



The beauty of the brine soaking is that this turkey hardly needs to be basted. I did it once an hour anyway, using pan juices and chicken stock.

After 35min per kg, remove the turkey from the oven and raise the temperature to 220°C and turn on the convection if available (if not, raise the temperature to 240°C). Once the oven reaches temperature, flip the turkey so it’s breast-side up on the roasting rack and put it back in the oven. Roast for half an hour, and test by stabbing a fork into the thickest part of the thigh for 10 seconds. The tip of the fork should be very hot and the juices should run clear.

I like to brush the skin with a small amount of honey alongside the pan juices to give it a nicer color for the last 5 minutes of roasting.



Let it rest at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving - this is a perfect time to make a gravy with the remaining pan juices.

Carving and Serving

I'm going to point you over to Jamie Oliver's instructional video for this:
http://www.jamieoliver.com/about/jamie-oliver-videos/carving-a-turkey- but I have to say, carving is a man's job. Make your other half watch this video and ask him to carve the turkey. It makes them feel in control, they feel the Christmas glory when eyes light up as the platter of turkey meat is brought to the table. Garnish with roast vegetables or a rocket salad.


juicy turkey legThe meat should be tender and moist, even the breast meat from this recipe is utterly delightful. I hope you enjoy a wonderful Christmas period with your loved ones

tart shell recipe

INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes and frozen
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
OR
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons ice water
8 tart pans (4- to 4 1/4-inch size) with removable bottoms


Turn this recipe into a puzzle! [click]


PREPARATION:
In food processor, combine flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, lemon peel and salt. Cover and process with a few quick on-off turns until most of the mixture resembles cornmeal but a few large pieces remain. (You should be able to feel the small pieces of butter with your fingers.)

Pour 5 tablespoons ice water through feed tube. Process with 2 quick on-off turns. Scrape down sides. Process with 2 more quick on-off turns (mixture may not all be moistened).

Remove dough from bowl; shape into ball by gently pushing down with the heel of your hand so that the mixture will come together. (Add only as much water as needed. Too much water or mixing will make dough tough.)

Cover dough with plastic wrap or place in plastic bag and seal; chill 30 to 60 minutes or until dough is easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap dough; divide into equal portions. On lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten 1 portion. Roll dough from center to edges into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.

Line a 4- to 4 1/4-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with pastry. Press pasty into fluted sides of pan; trim edges. Prick bottom and sides of pastry. Repeat with remaining pastry.

Line each pastry with a small circle of double thickness of foil. If you like, fill with pie weights. (Foil prevents the crust from shrinking.) Place tart pans on large baking sheet.

Bake 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven. Carefully remove pie weights, if using, and foil. Return baking sheet to oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes more or until pastry shells are firm and just beginning to brown around edges. Remove from oven. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips
1.用刀將蝦拍扁時,動作一拍一跣,有起膠作用。
2.蝦肉每三隻一起拍扁,別貪快一次過拍扁太多隻。
3.將蝦蓉和調味料撈勻攪動時,應以順時針方向,手勢要快,更易起膠。逆時針方向打成的蝦膠不夠爽。

1 1/4 cup of butter, at room temperature and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Have a candy thermometer handy. Heat hot water in the bottom of a double boiler until it is almost boiling. Combine egg whites and sugar in the top half of the double boiler and whisk gently until they reach 140 degrees F.

Remove eggs whites and sugar from the pot and pour into a mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat on high until the frosting is big and billowy and have cooled completely.

Once the eggs and sugar have cooled off during beating, slowly add butter to frosting, chunk by chunk, and keep beating. After one minute, add vanilla and continue beating. If you want to add food coloring, add it right after the vanilla extract.
Keep beating and tasting. You’ll know it’s done when it tastes like happiness, whipped velvet, and unicorn giggles.
If kept in an airtight container, this frosting will keep FOREVER in the fridge. Just bring to room temperature and re-whisk it when needed. I’ve been keeping a test batch in the fridge for two months now, and it still tastes lovely and perfect once a small portion is brought to room temperature and beaten with a whisk.

bitter-sweet chocoalte tart -Alain Ducasse

Ingredients
Tart Shell All-purpose flour
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons almond flour (see Note)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
Filling 3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
Glaze 1 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving
Directions
MAKE THE TART SHELL: In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle, blend 1 cup of all-purpose flour with the butter, sugar, cocoa, almond flour and salt at medium speed. Mix in the egg just until a soft dough forms. Scrape the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and lay another large sheet of plastic wrap on top. Roll out the dough between the plastic wrap to a 12-inch round. Transfer the round to a baking sheet and freeze until firm, 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325°.
Peel off the top sheet of plastic and invert the dough onto a 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Remove the remaining sheet of plastic and gently press the dough into the pan. Trim the dough flush with the rim. Freeze until firm, 10 minutes.
Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or beans. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, until the tart shell is nearly cooked through. Remove the parchment and weights and bake until the shell is cooked through, about 20 minutes longer. Transfer to a rack and let cool. Lower the oven temperature to 250°.
MAKE THE FILLING: In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and milk and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and let stand until melted, 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the egg yolk, then whisk in 1/2 cup of the chocolate cream. Thoroughly whisk this custard into the chocolate cream in the saucepan. Pour the filling into the tart shell and bake until set around the rim but still slightly jiggly in the center, 30 minutes. Let the tart cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours.
MAKE THE GLAZE: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the milk and let stand 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, whisk the cream, sugar and cocoa over moderate heat until the sugar is dissolved, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Scrape the gelatin into the cocoa mixture, add the milk chocolate and whisk until melted. Pour the glaze over the tart and spread it in an even layer using an offset spatula. Refrigerate the tart until the glaze is firm, 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream.


Notes
Almond flour, made from finely ground blanched almonds, can be found at most gourmet and health-food stores.

Daniel Boulud's Creamy Lemon and Raspberry Tart

Daniel Boulud's Creamy Lemon and Raspberry Tart

1 partially baked tart shell in a 9 ½” tart pan

2 medium lemons

2 large egg

2 large egg yolks

½ cup sugar

¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream

2 cups raspberries (although I use less, probably closer to a cup)

1. Center a rack and preheat oven to 300°

2. Prepare the lemons: Grate the zest off both lemons and set aside. With a paring knife, cut off the top and bottom of each lemon so the lemon flesh is exposed. Stand the lemon on one of its ends and cut away the pith (the white stuff that’s left after you zest the lemon) so the lemon flesh is exposed. At this point Daniel Boulud says to cut the lemons into crosswise pieces and remove the seeds. I’ve found it easier to cut the lemons lengthwise into quarters, remove the skin which separates each section, and remove any seeds. Put the sections of pulp in the blender.

3. Add the eggs, yolks, and sugar to the pulp in the blender. Puree until smooth. Strain the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the lemon zest and the cream.


4. Give the bowl “a good rap against the counter.” This is to remove any bubbles. “…if there are bubbles in the cream now, there will be bubbles in your tart later. (It’s not tragic, but neither is it attractive.)” I can attest to the importance of this. I skipped this step the first time and the surface of the tart was dotted with tiny little bubbles. Oops.

5. Scatter the berries over the bottom of the tart and pour the filling over them. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set in the middle. Cool on a rack.

Serves 8

The tart is assertively lemon enough that I think it really benefits by being served with lightly-sweetened whipped cream to offset the tart's tartness.

Vanilla Buttermilk Cake

from Sky High, Irresistible Triple Layer Cakes by Alisa Huntsman and Peter Wynne

4 whole eggs

2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

3 cups cake flour

2 cups sugar

4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of three 8-inch round cake pans or spray to coat with vegetable oil. Line the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment or waxed paper and grease the paper.

Put the eggs and yolks in a medium mixing bowl, add the vanilla and 1/4 cup of the buttermilk. Whisk to blend well.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixer bowl; whisk to blend. Add the butter and the remaining 1 cup buttermilk to these dry ingredients and with the mixer on low, blend together. Raise the mixer speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add the egg mixture in 3 additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing only until thoroughly incorporated. Divide the batter among the 3 prepared pans.

Bake the cake layers for 28-32 minutes, or until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes; then carefully turn out onto wire racks, peel off the paper liners, and let cool completely.

To assemble the cake, place one layer, flat side up, on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread 3/4 cup of the frosting over the layer, right to the edge. Repeat with the next layer. Place the last layer on top and use all but 3/4 cup of the frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake. With an offset spatula, smooth out the frosting all over. Place the remaining frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip and pipe a shell border around the top and bottom edges of the cake.




Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream

adapted from Martha Stewart



1 c egg whites (from about 6 large eggs)

1 1/2 c sugar

pinch of salt

1 lb 4 oz unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 t vanilla extract (or seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean)

squeeze of lemon juice


1)Combine the egg whites, sugar and pinch of salt in a large metal bowl (I usually do this right in my stand mixer bowl). Put the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler-style), and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. The mixture will feel hot to the touch.

2)Transfer the hot mixture to your stand mixer and whip on high speed until it turns white and about doubles in size. This will take about six minutes. Beat in the vanilla and the lemon juice.

3)Add the butter, a few tablespoons at a time, on medium speed, mixing after each addition. Raise the speed and beat until smooth; this may take up to ten minutes. The mixture may appear curdled along the way; this is normal. Just keep beating and the mixture will become smooth again.

-Buttercream will keep, covered air-tight and refrigerated, for up to two weeks. Bring to room temperature, then beat on low speed before using.

macarooon

Macaroon 食譜 (參考自仙姐食譜)

蛋白 35g

糖 35g

杏仁粉 37g

糖粉(icing sugar) 37g

可可粉 3g

1) 杏仁粉, 糖粉, 及可可粉過篩

2) 蛋白輕輕打起, 加糖再打至忌廉狀

3) 拌入(1)的粉類後, 便唧在入爐蓆上

4) 放至室溫等待約10mins, 輕輕灑上可可粉便可入爐, 先以150c焗至起裙邊(約3-5mins),

然後調至120c焗5mins, 再調至100c焗約10mins (全程時間約20mins, 如果唧得小型的要縮短時間)

5) 出爐待完全放涼後, 便可輕輕把macaroon從入爐蓆上取出



麵糊即出後, 應該會有很輕微(十分輕微)的瀉開, 而且會很有光澤

--> 如麵糊唧出後有尖頂, 過了1-2mins後仍不消失, 即蛋白打得太起, 可以略加少許蛋白作調整

--> 如麵糊唧出後立即(嚴重)瀉開, 即蛋白打得不夠, 或加入粉類後拌得太久, 這樣子便沒法補救了

鹽味焦糖榛子饀

粟膠 20g

砂糖 60g

室溫牛油 35g

忌廉 125g

牛奶朱古力 20g

無糖榛子醬 25g

海鹽 1g

1) 開中火, 鍋中放入粟膠煮至溶, 分3次放入砂糖, 每次都要出現焦色才加另一次

2) 加熱的忌廉, 先倒一半入焦糖醬中, 然後當冒起的大煙消失後, 便可加入第2次

3) 離火後加入鹽, 待焦糖放涼到50c後, 便可加入切碎的牛奶朱古力

4) 拌勻後, 放涼至35c, 加入無糖榛子醬及室溫牛油拌勻便可

糖 50g
杏仁粉 55g
糖霜 75g
紅桑子奶油醬
牛油 45g
糖 20-25g
紅桑子醬 25g
今次未能成功,我會繼續努力。



糖你用咁少架...????或你可以將糖加至50g.

另如果你用微波焗爐,溫度應該會好啱架.

但我會先預熱180度,入爐後轉150度焗10分鐘,大約5分鐘內會有裙邊,10分鍾後再轉120度焗10分鍾,最後轉110度焗5分鐘出爐.

只要用牛油紙就得啦!!!因為你係微波焗爐.

frosting

2 cups shortening 8 cups confectioners' sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream shortening until fluffy. Add sugar, and continue creaming until well blended.
Add salt, vanilla, and 6 ounces whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. Add additional 2 ounces whipping cream if necessary. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.





Following Rick's recipe, but using half salted butter & half regular Crisco, 6 cups of confectioners sugar, about 4 to 5 ounces of heavy whipping cream and 2 teaspoons of pure Vanilla, I found the PERFECT BLEND. Great spreading consistency and just sweet enough. The Crisco seems to cut the sweetness, while giving the frosting a bit more stability, which is great if you're going to use it for piping borders around a cake or making rosettes and leaves on top. Be sure to beat the frosting with an electric mixer on high speed, a minimum of 10 minutes, or until nice and fluffy. Had enough to GENEROUSLY frost 24 cupcakes, with about 2 cups left over. Can‘t believe using Crisco would make all the difference. Thanks Rick! *UPDATE 1: The whipping cream is a MUST! I forgot to buy whipping cream and used milk instead, big mistake... the frosting wasn't as fluffy and creamy. *UPDATE 2: I wanted a peanut butter frosting for a Reese's chocolate cake I was making, so I added in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter with the Crisco and butter. Turned out great, with just enough of a peanut butter taste to do the trick.
