Dessert

Yuzu pannacotta

2 Comments

Yes, another pannacotta, but as my lemon one was all eaten by The Chief on Monday morning (he said the flavours were good, but a bit too sweet), I was asked to try and make one with yuzu and if approved ….it might go on Dinings menu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was given some yuzu juice and followed fucking Gordon’s recipe yet again, decreasing amount of sugar, replacing lemon juice with yuzu and skipping lemon zest. So for 7 little ones, I used 350 ml of double cream, 100 ml of milk, about 120 g of sugar and about 50ml of yuzu juice. And 2,5 gelatine leaves. Neither this one nor the lemon one wobbles like those Gabor makes at work, but Gosh, do they taste awesome!

Nothing to do with modesty, but I LOVE THIS ONE. I served with a very simple passion fruit sauce, it’s going to be tasted tomorrow by Nick and Masaki, but even if they decide not to use my recipe, I will do it again and again, I think it’s delicious. We’ve had 2 each tonight.

Good Food, Room for improvement

Chilli garlic shrimps

Leave a comment

One of my favourites on Dinings menu. Goemon kindly gave me some chilli garlic paste and two other ingredients I always have in my cupboard, so I purchased some lovely shrimpages from Waitrose this morning and got to it. 3 measures of the paste, 2 of soy sauce and 1 of sesame oil, which I followed roughly for my marinade. maybe too roughly, as they turned out to be rather hot. I marinated them for nearly 4 hours, while busy gardening and then fried them on my griddling pan – those at work are char grilled, which makes them phenomenal. I served them with a nice veggie- fried rice, drizzled with sesame oil and finished off with fresh coriander. Florian, who is not massive on shrimps at all said it was  a great dish. Thumbs up.

Ps. Those at work are better. 🙂
