Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

Hands up who likes Chocolate Ice Cream?!! This is my take on James Martins recipe. Its been jigged around quite a bit, so I can comfortably claim it to be mine. I look out in the 'gone off' shelves in Tesco for the cream. Its usually around 50p for a big 500g pot!

Rhubarb Cobbler

My Grandma used to grow rhubarb it in her garden when I was little. She would chop a couple of stalks into chunks and serve them to me on a saucer for me to dip into a little sugar, sitting at the kitchen table. Rediscover rhubarb with this delicious dessert that everyone will love. Great with cream, custard or ice cream.

Mushroom and Gesier Bouchee

Posted by on Jan 29, 2010 in Appetisers, Brunch, Food Porn, Recipes, Snacks | 0 comments

This is probably the first of several experimental recipes using gesiers - what the British call gizzards, part of the giblets that go into a good chicken stock. They are a speciality here in South West France and I have just opened a 5 kilo tin! My neighbour taught me how to confit gesiers by salting overnight, rinsing and drying, then simmering in duck fat for ¾ hour before being packed into glass "Kilner Jars" covered with duck fat and then sterilised. They become tender and packed with flavour and can be kept in a cool place for several years. You will frequently find them as a starter served warm on a bed of lettuce so if you see Salade de Gesiers on a menu, take the plunge, it is a delicious experience.
