fm our cooperative shop - yet i changed it :)
Ingredients 4 adults - (we cooked it for 3 adults and 2 kids)
INGREDIENTSCaramel ice cream (with fleur de sél) take out abt 10 min before serving the whole dish and store in fridge
Carpaccio:
2 dl water
1 entire lemon (you can take less - i actually made a mistake by taking one - i was only 1/2 big spoon)
2 big spoons honey (we took only 2 LITTLE spoons of forest honey - here they especially advice oak forest honey)
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
get to cook
3 pears (they advise Kaiser Alexander or same consistency)
DIRECTIONSwash pears (do not peel)
chip into in 2 mm thick pieces and add to the liquid
let simmer for abt 10 minutes (we had them cooked )
take pears and rosemary out - reduce the liquid to become syrup
put the pears on the plates like a flower
add the sirup to it
place a scoop of ice cream in the middle of the cooked pears - decorate (i took rosemary sprigs)
ENJOY
finished mmmmmmmmh
NB: i added only two small spoons of honey to it and the whole juice of a small lemon - so it was sour but awesome... up to you how "sweet" you are

When I was little and all growing up, whenever I was down in the dumps or kinda stressed out my mom would make this for me and it would make me feel better. It was also heavenly on cold, winter nights for dinner. I guess this is the "comfort" food she passed down to me.

I know that xmas has since past, but my most mouth watering memory is by far a BUCHE DE NOEL. My family is french and we always have a Buche de Noel on Christmas Eve. This year I spent my first xmas away from my family to be with my husbands family and I made my very first Buche de Noel.

Did you and your family experience any great kitchen moments this holiday season? Did you sit around and reminisce about the way mom used to use this special technique when making brownies? Or how about the time when Uncle Bobby roasted a whole pig in the backyard?

When I was visiting my family for Christmas, my sister told me that the smell of cinnamon always reminds her of me. At first I was surprised, I wasn't sure why, but then she reminded me that I used to love chomping down on cinnamon flavored toothpicks. Apparently now whenever anyone eats Red Hots or Hot Tamales, she now thinks of the time I caught her sabotaging the kitchen in my dollhouse.

When I was little one of my favorite dinners that my grandma, Nan, used to make were her Pork Tenderlion with Monkey Eyes. She was an amazing cook and an even more amazing lady. The most selfless person I have ever met I strive each day to be more kind like her.
