Fresh peach Cake For the Cake:

For the Frosting:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger a pinch of kosher salt or sea salt 1 1/2 sticks of butter, softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 4 eggs, at room temperature 3 cups unbleached white flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt 1 1/2 cups sour cream 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups cooked peaches

2 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened 2 sticks of unsalted butter 2 1-pound box of powdered sugar 1/4 cup of peach syrup For the Shards of Sugar 1 cup Sugar

In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixi ng them completely into the butter mixture after each addition. In a separate bowl combine all of the remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix or sift together well. Add the dry ingredient mixture alternately with the sour cream. Stir in the vanilla extract. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the cooked peaches into the cake batter. Divide batter evenly between cake pans. Baked for 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cakes from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Then invert onto cooling racks to finish cooling. Make the Frosting: It is probably best to make the frosting in two batches unless you have a really big bowl. So put one block of cream cheese, one stick of butter and one box of cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix until well blended. Mix in reserved peach syrup from your cooked peaches. Then make another batch exactly like it. Make the burnt sugar shards: Prepare a bakdium high heat until sugar begins to melt and brown. Do not stir. Tilt the pan if you need it to melt more evenly. As soon as the sugar is a beautiful amber brown color pour it onto the parchment paper lined sheet tray. Slightly tilt the pan so it spreads around. It should harden immediately as it cools. When it is completely hard break it into shards by either hitting it with a mallet or dropping the tray so the sugar cracks. Frost the cake. Just before presenting place more sautĂŠed peaches on top of the cake for garnish. Place some of the sugar shards on top of the peaches. Garnish around the cake with peach halves and quarters and piles of burnt sugar.

Clementine Macarons For shells of macaroons:

For the chocolate ganache:

150 g caster sugar 150g ground almonds 150g icing sugar 110 g of egg white liquefied at room temperature 37 g water 1 pinch of orange dye The peel a clementine

150g dark chocolate 100 g of cream whole 6,5 clementines

First prepare the ganache, history she the time to freeze. In a small saucepan, heat the cream with the zest of a clementine. Let infuse for at least half an hour by covering the pan. When everything is infused, redo your gently heat cream. Chop your chocolate in order to have small pieces, and squeeze the juice of 2 or 3 clementines, just enough to recover 50 g. When your cream is hot, pour over the chocolate and let tranquoillou 1 full minute, the whole story based. Separate your whites 2 Pour 55 g white with the powder mixture, but do not mix. Pour the remaining 55 g of white in the bowl of your food processor or in a bowl, so you can ride in snow. For now, leave them alone, we must take care of the syrup; pour the sugar in a saucepan, add water, mix well and cook. Use a thermometer to check the temperature, you have to be very precise, as soon as the syrup reaches 115 ° C, start whipping the whites, then when it is at 118 ° C, pour in thin stream on whites and continue to climb in snow. You need to get a good “bird’s beak” effect as soon as your whites are at 55 ° C, mix very gently to the powder mixture and egg whites you must incorporate white without the whip. On a baking sheet, place a sheet of parchment paper, logically you must superimpose two baking sheets, but I only have one, then... fill a pastry bag with your macaron batter and make small regular circles of dough, well spaced and staggered. If you are unable to make regular rounds, draw marks with a pencil on your baking paper. You must have a diameter of 3/4 inch. Tap the baking sheet on your work 2-3 times in order to remove any air bubbles in the shells. Let crust at least half an hour, I think they stayed at home ... 1 hour Crouter ie, let them “dry” in the open air to a thin crust forms on top. While they croûtent, preheat your oven to 180 ° C fan oven, then put your macarons 12 minutes, opening the door two times during cooking. When cooked, pour a little water between the baking sheet and plate so you can take off easily. Peel off the plate and let cool, when they are cold, you can take off the baking sheet and top.

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch slices. Place apples into a large bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Coat evenly in melted butter. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the spices, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Toss over the apples until they are evenly coated. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pie dough round into a 12-inch circle. Place the first round into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing down into the edges. Place the apples into the pie plate, mounding them in the center. Cover the top with the remaining pie dough round and seal the edges by pinching them together. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush over the pie dough. Sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired. Using a sharp knife, cut in a few slits for the steam to release. Chill pie for at least 1/2 hour before baking, particularly if the dough has softened. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake pie for 25 minutes before lowering oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown. If the edges begin to darken too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent additional browning. Cool pie for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.

Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Allow cookies to cool completely then spread about 1 teaspoon of peach jam evenly across the bottom of one cookie then gently press another cookie over the jam layer to sandwich them together. Repeat this process with remaining cookies. To decorate cookies, pour 3 tbsp of milk into two small bowls. Tint one bowl of milk with red food coloring until it reaches a vibrant pink, then tint the other bowl of milk with yellow food coloring until its reaches a vibrant yellow. Take a paint brush and dip into the yellow tinted milk then paint randomly across both cookies leaving some areas unpainted. Then dip paintbrush into red tinted milk and paint randomly across unpainted areas and blend slightly Immediately after painting cookie, dip and coat entire cookie with sugar. Insert one or two fresh mint leaves into the side of each cookie if desired. Store in an airtight container.

Cherry Chescake Sundae For the mascarpone ice cream: 6oz (175g) mascarpone cheese pinch of salt 2 cup milk 1 tbsp + 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) 1½ cups heavy cream ¾ cup sugar ¼ cup glucose syrup

For the crumble: 1 stick (115g) butter 4 oz (110g) brown sugar 1 cup (150g) plain flour For the cherries: 6 oz cherries, pitted sugar, to taste brandy, rum or vanilla, optional

The day before you want to serve the ice cream, make the base. Place the mascarpone and salt into a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Take 2-3 tablespoons of the milk and stir together with the cornflour in a small bowl. Place the remaining milk, cream, sugar and glucose into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Boil for 4 full minutes and then remove from the heat. Whisk in the cornflour-milk mixture, and then return the pan to the heat and stir for about a minute, or until thickened slightly. Slowly whisk the thickened mixture into the mascarpone cheese. Leave to cool, and then refrigerate until completely chilled. The next morning, churn the ice cream in your ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To make the crumble, preheat the oven to 180C and line a tray with baking paper. Place all the crumble ingredients into a bowl and rub the butter into the sugar and flour using your fingertips, until a ‘crumble’ texture is reached. Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring half way through, until the mixture is golden brown. It will become more crisp as it cools. When you’re ready to serve, prepare the cherries. Heat a small frying pan, and add the cherries, along with a few spoonfuls of sugar. Carefully add a splash of rum or brandy or vanilla, and cook until the cherries are softened. Serve up a scoop of the ice cream, with a generous helping of crumble and a quarter of the cherries to each person.

Pears minicake 1 ripe pear, peeled and diced (about 1 cup diced pear) 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 3 tablespoons demerara sugar 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 2 eggs, at room temperature 1 egg white, at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

In small bowl, combine brown sugar, demerara sugar and diced pear. Evenly distribute pear-sugar mixture between the 12 Bundt-cake cups, evenly placing fruit on bottom of each cup. In small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Set aside. In bowl of a standmixer, combine eggs, egg white and granulated sugar. Beat on medium for 5 minutes, then on high for another 5 minutes, until light in color and fluffy. Scrape down sides as necessary. Add vanilla and beat 1 minute. Gently fold in flour mixture. Do not overmix. With an ice cream scoop or two spoons, distribute cake dough evenly between the 12 cake cups. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully invert cakes onto baking sheet or large serving platter and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Because there is so little fat in them, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say the cakes probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much of a shelf life.

Waffles Raspberry Cake For the waffles: 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ¼ cup brown sugar packed 2 teaspoons baking powder 1-teaspoon baking soda 1-teaspoon kosher salt 3 large eggs separated and at room temperature 2 cups buttermilk – at room temperature ½ cup olive oil 1-teaspoon vanilla extract

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate finely chopped Non stick vegetable oil spray For the Mascarpone Whipped Cream: 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese, at room temperature ¼ cup +1 tablespoon (divided) confectioners’ sugar ¾ cup heavy cream, at room temperature 1-teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup fresh raspberries or any other seasonal fruit you like

Sift flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl. In another large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 3 batches. Do not overbeat. Just mix them until thoroughly combined. Using a standing mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form, 5-7 minutes. Gently fold in the egg whites into the batter, until no white streaks remain. Heat your waffle maker until it is very hot. Pour ½ cup of the batter onto your well-oiled (with vegetable spray) waffle maker. Cook until it is cooked through. (My waffle maker has a light that goes off when it is cooked. Follow your waffle maker’s instructions.) Transfer them onto a baking sheet and let them cool. To make the Mascarpone Whipped Cream: Place mascarpone cheese in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and whip it for 1 minute. Slowly add heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl and whip the mixture until it turns into light and fluffy. Like I mentioned in the post, everything must be in room temperature to prevent curdling. To assemble: Place the first waffle onto a plate and spread ¼ cup of the mascarpone whipped cream onto it. Place the second one on top of the first one, and again, spread ¼ cup mascarpone whipped cream. Repeat this process two more times. Top it off with raspberries. Sprinkle it with 1 tablespoon of confectioners’ sugar. 25
