Beautiful Stories - Paris and Nice Chefs Trouble and The Goats Cheese love affair with Dukkah

Arthur Huxley - 18-04-2024

Hi everybodyi It was nice to see the comments for our last Art of Flavour piece on the squabbling between the the Chefs in Paris and the Chefs in Nice over the proper ingredients of a Nicoise Salad,

It's wonderful that such a food passion exists. One subscriber mentioned that you will find the same passion and friction in Italy - try telling the Chefs and Food People in Bologna that a Bolognaise Ragu was not created and perfected in Bologna and you will buy trouble.

The wonder of Ghee, Olive Oil and Butter

Arthur Huxley - 12-04-2024

When we concluded our short piece on cooking with Lard we promised promise to look at Olive Oil and Ghee when building the first stage of flavour in a recipe. Reflecting on this, we thought it might be useful to include butter in the discussion.

So let's start with butter. Butter is essentially made up of three parts; Fat, Water and Milk solids. And this immediately brings us to the first negative.

You will have noticed that when butter melts and starts to foam, the water element evaporates leaving the solids to naturally burn and if not watched carefully, can easily spoil your dish.

Arthur Huxley - 19-11-2023

Hi everybodyi It was nice to see the comments for our last Art of Flavour piece on the squabbling between the the Chefs in Paris and the Chefs in Nice over the proper ingredients of a Nicoise Salad,

It's wonderful that such a food passion exists. One subscriber mentioned that you will find the same passion and friction in Italy - try telling the Chefs and Food People in Bologna that a Bolognaise Ragu was not created and perfected in Bologna and you will buy trouble.

Goats Cheese and Egyptian Dukkah I know that I have mentioned this some time ago but while happily testing our One Pan Fried Cabbage, Sausage and Haloumi recipe for this issue, the amazing flavour magic that emerges when pairing Goats Cheese (Chevre) and the ancient Egyptian Dukkah Spice Mix, came to mind.
