• Velouté d'endives au curry

  • Agaillard on February 17, 2022

    This was super simple and quite good - however, I followed the recipe exactly and my potatoes wouldn't cook - they took forever and still some remained a bit hard-ish -> I removed those and mixed the ones that were crumbly. Maybe it is cooking the potatoes in milk, maybe it is the type of potatoes I used... Not sure. I also thought it was a bit bland and added Espelette pepper in place of paprika. Endives and curry mix quite well and form another taste, a bit like cauliflower. As a matter of fact my sister thought it was a cauliflower based soup (I usually make her guess the ingredients), and said she would have never guessed endives - she liked the soup very much.

• Soufflé glacé aux poires

  • Agaillard on December 20, 2021

    I experimented with this recipe which intrigued me shortlly after indexing the magazine, I never made this kind of recipe before. I found it was quite easy and enjoyable to make, and quite nice! I made two soufflés and divided by two, but I think there was not enough pears (only missing a touch). I used speculoos for shortbread and made express caramelised almonds instead of making the caramel, by sautéeing them quickly with maple syrup (which works like a charm and is almost instant). I will make again and maybe experiment with more fruits/toppings :)
