FRANCE

Macaroons MACARONS

In France a pastry chef is only considered as a real artist if he is able to make „quality“ macarons. The wording has italian sources and comes from „maccare“ and means nothing more than „to make“. The French pastry house „Ladurée“ claims the invention of the macarons in 1791, but in fact they first appeared during a Royal Wedding in 1533 served with paté de foie gras.

SERVES 16

1.

Place the ground almonds and icing sugar in a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Sift the mixture into a bowl. Line two baking sheets with baking paper.

INGREDIENTS

2.

Place the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl and whisk until holding soft peaks. Gradually whisk in the caster sugar to make a firm, glossy meringue. Whisk in the vanilla extract.

3.

IRELAND

Irish TEA CAKE

SERVES 8–10 PREP TIME: 25 minutes COOKING TIME: 60 minutes

INGREDIENTS 180 g/6¼ oz butter, softened, plus extra for greasing

2 eggs 90 g/3¼ oz cream cheese 225 g/8 oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting

1.

Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Generously grease a 27-cm/11-inch loaf tin. Dust with flour and line the base with baking paper.

2.

Put the butter, sugar and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated (picture 1).

3.

Add the cream cheese and beat until well combined. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a separate bowl. Put the sultanas into a small bowl. Add 30 g/1 oz of the flour mixture to the sultanas and stir until they are well coated (picture 2). Gradually add the remaining flour mixture to to the batter, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until smooth. Add the sultanas and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.

4.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin (picture 3), using a spatula to smooth the surface. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Using a flexible spatula, separate the cake from the sides of the tin and transfer to a wire rack.

5.

Meanwhile, to make the icing, combine the sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spread the icing over the warm cake and leave to cool completely. Cut into slices and serve..

1 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 125 g/4½ oz sultanas 150 ml/5 fl oz buttermilk Icing 50 g/1¾ oz icing sugar, sifted 2 tsp fresh lemon juice

4.

Pour the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 1-cm/½-inch plain nozzle. Pipe 32 small rounds onto the prepared baking sheets. Tap the baking sheets firmly onto a work surface to remove air bubbles. Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3.

5.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then carefully peel the macaroons off the baking paper. Leave to cool completely.

6.

To make the filling, beat the butter and vanilla extract in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Use to sandwich pairs of macaroons together.

COOKING TIME: 10-15 minutes

75 g/2¾ oz ground almonds 115 g/4 oz icing sugar 2 large egg whites 50 g/1¾ oz caster sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract filling 55 g/2 oz unsalted butter, softened ½ tsp vanilla extract 115 g/4 oz icing sugar, sifted

i

The image of a tea cake often brings thoughts of afternoon tea and a serving of a flat semi sweet cookie or biscuit. Actually tea cakes are defined differently in every country. The Irish tea cakes first were very poor and dry because nobody in Ireland could afford the necessary ingredients. It’s only since the 1920s that more and more dry fruit were incorporated.

200 g/7 oz sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract

Using a spatula, fold the almond mixture into the meringue one third at a time. When all the dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, continue to cut and fold the mixture until it forms a shiny batter with a thick, ribbon-like consistency.

PREP TIME: 20 minutes plus cooling

Stir vigorously with a fork until the chocolate is completely melted. 10. Spoon the chocolate over the tops of the frosted cakes so that the frosting is completely covered in chocolate. Chill in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes, until the chocolate is set. Serve at room temperature.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of frosting on top, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Top the frosting with a second layer of cake and top that with a second layer of frosting, smoothing the top. 8. If making twelve 225-ml/8-fl oz jars, layer them with 1 round of cake and 1 layer of frosting.

2 tbsp vegetable oil

Cook's Tips Refrigerate the cakes in the covered jars for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Spoon the frosting into a piping bag fitted with your favourite tip. 7.

16 MYSTERIES OF HISTORY

DINOSAURS, PREHISTORIC BEASTS 17

Evolution in the Mesozoic era

How did large herbivorous dinosaurs manage to transport blood to the brain?

Dinosaurs are an example of adaptation to the environment. They dominated Earth for more than 150 million years. These animals appeared in the Triassic era and disappeared at the end of the Cretaceous era, for reasons that are still not clear today. The family tree of dinosaurs Dinosaurs share a common ancestor with pterosaurs and crocodiles, grouped within Archosauria. The specimen of Eoraptor found in Argentina, is considered the closest common ancestor of the dinosaurs.

Prosauropoda

Plateosaurus Massospondylus

Diplodocoidea

Diplodocus

The large sauropods had very long necks and it has been suggested that the heart would need to pump blood with great force to be able to reach the brain. Some palaeontologists have suggested that because of this, many sauropods could not raise their necks too high, and that they shared characteristics of their circulatory system with warm-blooded animals.

So far more than 500 genera of dinosaurs, a little over a thousand species, have been discovered.

Amargasaurus

Sauropodmorpha The Saurischians are divided into two groups: sauropodomorphs, (large herbivores); and theropods, which moved on their hind limbs and were nearly all carnivores.

Sauropoda

Isanosaurus

Mamenchisaurus

Spinosauroidea

Baryonyx Suchomimus

Coelophysis

Deinocheirus Gallimimus

Beipiaosaurus

Allosaurus

Saurischia

Therizinosauria

Tyrannosaurus rex

Therizinosaurus

This is the most famous dinosaur, and considered a killing machine. Although it is also thought that it was a scavenger, because of its large feet, which are more adapted to long walks than to running.

Spinosaurus

Oviraptorosauria

Piatnitzkysaurus

Theropoda

Carcharodontosaurus

Gigantosaurus

Scipionyx Oviraptor

Alvarezsauridae Liliensternus

DINOSAURIA

Compsognathus

What is a dinosaur? They are defined as a type

of reptile which stopped existing about 65 million years ago. Other prehistoric animals such as pterosaurs (flying reptiles) and aquatic reptiles are excluded from this definition.

Troodontidae

Sinovenator

Patagonykus

Aves Dromaeosauridae

Ornitholestes

Archaeopteryx Microraptor Sinornithosaurus

Tyrannosauroidea

Eotyrannus

Velociraptor

Unenlagia

Tyrannosaurus

Ornithischia Abelisauroidea

Carnotaurus Masiakasaurus

Ceratosaurus

These were herbivores, with adaptations in their jaws to process vegetable food. The Ornithischians included some with quadruped gaits, and others that were adapted for bipedal locomotion.

Pachycephalosauria

Pachycephalosaurus

Marginocephalia Ceratopsia

Psittacosaurus

The ancestors of crocodiles had enormous evolutionary success during the Mesozoic era and survived the mass extinction of that time.

Hypsilophodontidae Gasparinisaura

Iguanodontidae

shrug off many other knots, and can be made in thin string to tie up a parcel.

1. Begin with a

simple overhand or thumb knot.

2. Pass the end through the ring or around the rail or other point of attachment, before tucking it back into the knot (as shown). Then take the working end around, behind or beneath the standing part of the rope or cord, and then tuck it over-under-under-over, so that it is trapped by the loop.

In the days before nylon monofilaments, when anglers relied upon fishing lines made from horsehair, gut or silk, the perfection loop began many a tackle rig. For this reason it is still widely known by its other name – the angler’s loop.

Weak or damaged section.

KNOT LORE It is most unlikely that this knot was ever used to tether sheep while they grazed; but it may be that the knot was named for its resemblance to one of that creature’s leg bones.

2. Pull the left-hand leg of the central loop out through the nearest smaller loop, going over-under. Similarly, pull the right-hand loop leg out through its adjacent smaller loop, going under-over (as pictured above).

2. Finally lock off the end loops in one of two ways: either pull the standing part of the line right the way through, creating a layout similar to that of the bowline (see page 60); or trap the standing part against the end loop with an improvised toggle that could be a length of wooden doweling, a screwdriver, a spanner or anything else of the right size and rigidity.

Alice in Wonderland Written by Lewis Carroll Retold by Catherine Allison Illustrated by Erin McGuire

A

lice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do. It was hot, which made her feel very sleepy and slow.

She was considering whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very unusual to hear the Rabbit say to itself, “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” But when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket, looked at it and hurried on, Alice realised that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket, or a watch to take out of it. So she ran across the field after it and was just in time to see it pop into a large rabbit hole. In another moment, in went Alice after it. The rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel and then dipped suddenly down, and Alice found herself falling into what seemed like a deep well. It was too dark to see where she was falling to, but she could see that the sides of the well were filled with cupboards and bookshelves. She picked a jar labelled ‘Orange Marmalade’ from one shelf. Sadly it was empty, so she put it back. Down and down she fell. There was nothing else to do so Alice started thinking about her cat. “Dinah, my dear, I wish you were down here with me!” Alice felt that she was dozing off and had just begun to dream, when suddenly, thump! Down she came on a heap of dry leaves, and the fall was over.

at her heels, ran outside. With a cry of amazement, Dorothy drank in the beautiful sights: green grass, trees bearing fruits, banks of gorgeous flowers and brightly coloured birds swooping over a gurgling brook. Out of the corner of her eye, Dorothy noticed a strangely dressed group of people walking towards her. She could tell they were adults, but none of them was taller than Dorothy herself. There were three old men and one much older, white-haired, wrinkly-faced woman.

Dorothy looked confused. “You’re very kind, but I haven’t killed anyone.” The woman laughed. “Well, your house did! Look!” Dorothy turned and saw two legs with silver shoes on the end of them, sticking out from under a corner of the house. “Oh, dear!” she cried. The woman smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry. She was one of the two wicked witches who rule in our Land of Oz. The other lives in the West. I’m the good Witch of the North, and the other good witch rules in the South. But even more powerful than us witches is the great Wizard of Oz, who lives in Emerald City.” Dorothy felt overwhelmed by all this talk of witches and wizards and she began to sob. “I must get home to my uncle and aunt,” she said. “Can you help me?” The good witch shook her head. “Only the Wizard of Oz can help you. You must travel to the Emerald City. Oz is a dangerous land, but my kiss will keep you from harm.” She kissed Dorothy on the forehead then handed her the Wicked Witch’s silver shoes. “Wear these. They have special magical powers. And now, just follow the yellow-bricked road.” And with that, she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
