My first ever panna cotta from scratch- DONE.

As much as I’m still pissed off with Ramsay, had to put it in the title, cause I used his recipe. Simple recipe from Good Food, none of the ” reduced fat yoghurt” nonsense, just 300ml of double cream, 75 ml whole milk, 100g of sugar- a bit less I think, Florek reckons it’s just as sweet as it should be and- gelatine. If leaves, about 1,5 leaf, if sachettes, I dissolved one and used half of it. Consistency was perfect.

Gelatine dissolves first, left to await its turn, cream, milk, sugar with a good spoon of vanilla paste slowly brought to simmer. When cooled a little, I added gelatine and poured it all into my cool, new silicone thingies that are meant for baking muffins, but I want them for panna cotta.

It took them about 3 hours to set in the fridge.

The compote- Oluta happened to haveĀ  a bag of frozen raspberries in the fridge, so she chucked it in the pan with a bit of water and honey and simmered for 10 minutes. That simple. That beautiful.

Venison

Ken took us out last night, we went to the place we’ve been to before and I remembered it from its awesome creme brulee. Pub grub, said Alice, but I thought it was much more than that. Tonight I tried venison for the first time ever. LOVED IT! It was a grilled steak, served with roasted parsnips and carrots, some dauphinoise spuds and jus, very rich, but not overpowering. Gamey, tasty, tons of flavour. Lost my venison virginity.

I am definitely a fan.
