Heads up on the upcoming dishes on the Taste le Tour Challenge
Yabbies and truffles
It’s late, and I’ve been sitting here watching the Tour riders dice with disaster as they careen down the decline of the Alpe d’Huez. Whoever called that a road was being outstandingly generous … ! Today we taste tested Gabriel Gaté’s recipe for Yabby Turnovers with Truffle. It was so good. Simple flavours, cooked to…

Reward for the patient…Apricot ice cream with caramelised almonds
Ice cream! Yum! Fabulously easy recipe for Apricot Ice cream and Caramelised Almonds is done, completed and eaten! Seriously, this is a very easy recipe for home made ice cream. If apricots are not your thing, have a go and substitute whichever fruit you like. It is fun, fresh and easy…what more can I say?…
Teaser for tomorrow…
Well, technically speaking tonight’s dish is Apricot ice-cream with caramelised almonds. Sounds yum, doesn’t it? Anyway, as you might know making ice-cream is a bit of a process and …okay, I’ll just be honest; I forgot to freeze the bowl of my ice-cream attachment on the Kitchenaid …which means I can’t whip my ice cream…
Lyonnais Cheese Dip
Well, this recipe in French is called cervelle de canut which literally translates to ‘Silk worker’s brain’. Sounds appetising doesn’t it? Find out why and how to make it here… (it’s okay, there’s no real brains involved in this one, believe me!)
Roast Lamb with Flageolets
Okay, here’s the roast lamb recipe for your eating pleasure. I’m a bit under the weather today, so this post will be short and sweet. Check out the recipe here and don’t forget to check back tomorrow to see how we go with the Nougat Cake that Gabriel Gaté featured on tonight’s episode of Taste…
Winter warmer…Brittany Fish Stew
Check out this recipe from the Taste le Tour – Brittany Fish Stew. Simple, flavourful and packed full of good stuff, this is food that is good for the soul. It is really easy to make as well, so no excuses. Get into the kitchen and give this one a go… ..and then come back…
Here it is: Baked Gurnard with Fennel Puree
Okay, so it does not look that appealing, but it is quite a yummy dish and yet again, really simple to make. Check out the recipe here to give it a go at home. See you all tomorrow for Gabriel Gaté’s Cherry Fruit Salad with Languedoc Brandy…now off to find out where to get cherries…
Coming up tonight: Baked Gurnard with Pureed Fennel
Okay, well not exactly, as I had some difficulty sourcing some local gurnard so I’ll be replacing this with some local wild caught rockling fillet. I am really looking forward to this one! I always think that we should be eating more seafood, and getting a bit more of that essential omega-3 into our diet. …
