FLORAL CUISINE
After a blog post about edible flowers here is how I use flowers in my cuisine. At the top tartines with smoked turkey, maasdam and Nasturtium flowers. Below a Potato salad with zucchini and nasturtium flowers. All edible and fresh from the garden. But be careful, don’t eat the male organs. They contain pollens and abortion is about to become illegal. Pity for flower children.
ASPARAGUS AND GRUYERE MINI TARTS
They are so easy to prepare even a lazy housewife can do it. Just use mille feuille for the base, brush it with an egg, grate some gruyere cheese, toss them on with some pepper and salt, add the asparagus on top. In about 20 mins you are there. Looks good, tastes good. The only disadvantage maybe the high priced asparagus in İstanbul but come on ladies get a job, earn some for asparagus and enjoy it with this song.
MONSIEUR CHOCOLAT’S FAMOUS PAVLOVA BECOMES A BIRTHDAY CAKE
So let’s say happy birthday to all the people around the world who were born today. Je hais highly stylized birthday cakes so Pavlova is always a good choice. Previously I baked this for Trendsetter magazine and they asked why I didn’t put any candles on it. So take this trendsetter.
QU’ILS MANGENT DE LA BRIOCHE
Magical İstanbul’s enchanting birds deserve much more than plain breadcrumbs when the city is under snow. So I baked ces brioches délicieuses pour les oiseaux. Not for you baby, hohoho.
HOME-MADE BREAD in 10 STEPS and 3 HOURS
Merci pour cette recette du pain delicieux cafefernando.
And a note for some friends who call this a sacrilège because although I use organic ingredients, I don’t use raw milk and natural yeast:
Come on girl! Bake something for us, let me see you dance! We still crave for that Crème Caramel.
SWEET MUFFINS ARE NEVER A MUST
Go for the savory ones! Feta cheese, olives, poppy seeds, celery stalks, dill and even some pickled capers go well in muffins. Try them for breakfast, brunch or 5 o’clock thé. Mine guests didn’t regret it, so neither will yours.
CUPCAKES FOR COUPLES COUPLESCOUP LES COUP
Very berry cupcakes, with simple decoration. Sometimes less is more.
I strongly recommend listening to Ilo Veyou while enjoying these cupcakes. Go find the original song don’t stay content with the acoustique version. Ok less is more but not always.
