LE CHEF BLEU'S BLOG

After 13 years of salaried man life in Paris, I took my Grand Diploma at The French Culinary Institute in New York. Now, I am Sous Chef at The French Consulate here in Manhattan.On this blog, you will find info, tips, recipes and more from my hands-on experience...

Jul 11, 2012 A little "tendresse" in your dessertIn the followingpastry bookby Stéphane Glacier, I found that recipe for those small sweet cookies, called "tendresse"(tenderness). The cavity in each individual mold allows you to fill in it with any sort of flavors, from chocolate ganache, fruit coulis, peanut butter, nutella, jam, etc... very versatile. That's what I like!
For those Tendresses, you need to use thosemolds: 1 flexipan mini- savarin oval and 1 square one...
Ingredients (yield = 96 mini tendresses)760 gr almond powder760 gr sugar760 gr eggs400 gr melted butter100 gr AP flour400 gr melted butter400 gr water + 200 gr sugar for the syrup

ProcedureMix almond + sugar using the flat beater of your Kitchen AidAdd the eggs one at a time. Keep mixingAdd flour. Keep mixingAdd butter. Keep mixing but don't overbeatPour into the individual moulds to two/thirdsPlace a baking paper sheet and a grid on the mould.Bake at 160 C./320 F. in a convection oven or at 180 C./350 F. for a deck oven for 20 mn.Allow 5 mn to cool down before turning out and unmolding.Soak the tendresses in the syrup while still warm and drain on a grid.Add whatever filling you like and decorate.

2 comments: May 3, 2012 Hasselbackpotatis, Swedish Way of Roasting PotatoesI like the multiple ways of cooking/baking potatoes and am always glad to discover a new method... This one is visually attractive on the plate with grilled red meat or smoked fish. The fact of slicing themwidth-wiseallows the flesh to cook faster than usual baked potatoes...Traditionally, bay leaves are used to flavor the potatoes but you can try other alternatives to change the flavors (sage,tarragon, paprika,Parmesan, etc...).

Now, good luck with the recipe ! ;-)

GÖR SÅ HÄR

Sätt ugnen på 225 grader.Skala potatisen. Lägg den på en träslev och skär den i tunna skivor, men inte helt igenom.Ställ potatisen med den skurna sidan upp på ett ugnssäkert fat.Smält smöret i en liten kastrull och pressa ner vitlöksklyftan/-orna i smöret.Pensla potatisen med vitlökssmöret. Strö på salt. Stek potatisen mitt i ugnen i 30 min. Ta ut potatisen och pensla den med mera smör. Strö på den rivna västerbottensosten och stek i ytterligare 15 minuter tills potatisen är mjuk.
Serveringsförslag: Gott till stekt eller grillat kött.


Well, if you are not that fluent in Swedish, try this one....
Hasselback Potatoes With Rosemary (source)
What you need: potatoes (medium sized), breadcrumbs, fresh rosemary, butter and sea salt.
1. Preheat the oven to 425F
2. Peel and wash the potatoes.
3. Slice into the potatoes about 1/5 inch apart. Do not cut completely through! Top each potato with a small knob of butter and bake them in the oven for about 25 minutes.
4. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle each potato with breadcrumbs, sea salt and some rosemary (rosemary is untraditional, so if you want to stay true to the original recipe, just leave it out).. Again top each potato with a small knob of butter.
5. Bake for another 25-35 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes) or until golden on the outside and soft on the inside. You can also turn the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes of cooking to get an extra crispy outside.

No comments: Apr 1, 2012 I love my Ramen (Japanese noodles) in Hell's KitchenWhenever I crave for Japanese confort food, I run to Toto Ramen, that Japanese tiny place just 5 mn from myappartement, right in the center of Hell's Kitchen. The only real draw back is the waiting list, sometimes over 90 mn...


Less accessible from my apartment but nice enough if you want to ride the 7 train in The Queens, there is this family like - tourist free Thai kitchen, Zabb Elee.
