Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups milk
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ground cinnamon , for topping
- alcohol optional, see note
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl until light and creamy.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, milk, nutmeg and salt. Stir often until mixture reaches a bare simmer.
- Add a big spoonful of the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking vigorously. Repeat, adding a big spoonful at a time, to temper the eggs.
- Once most of the hot milk has been added to the eggs, pour the mixture back into the saucepan on the stove.
- Whisk constantly for just a few minutes, until the mixture is just slightly thickened (or until it reaches about 160 degrees F on a thermometer). It will thicken more as it cools.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, and alcohol*, if using.
- Pour the eggnog through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher or other container and cover with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate until chilled. It will thicken as it cools. If you want a thinner, completely smooth consistency, you can add the entire mixture to a blender with 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk and blend until smooth.
- Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, and fresh whipped cream, if desired.
- Store homemade eggnog in the fridge for up to one week.

Cette liqueur est aussi appelée "liqueur d'officier" ou aussi "confiture de vieux garçon".
Le principe : malgré son nom, il ne s'agit pas d'une confiture mais de fruits à l'alcool!
Utiliser en quantités égales (100 g environ), tous les fruits de saison de mai à octobre à l'exception des agrumes et autres fruits exotiques (bananes, mangues, ...). Déguster aux environs de Noël et toujours avec modération.
La recette :
-
Utiliser un grand bocal en verre ébouillanté et fermant hermétiquement.
-
Au fil des saisons, de mai à octobre, placer des fruits sains, lavés et essuyés, dans le bocal.
-
Ajouter la moitié du poids en sucre, recouvrir d'alcool de fruits (acheté au supermarché).
-
Fermer hermétiquement. Entre chaque ajout de fruit, conserver au frais et à l'abri de la lumière et compléter d'alcool si le niveau vient à baisser.
-
Incorporer successivement :
- fraises (petites et fermes) (fait)

Ne mettre qu'en très petite quantité les fruits très aqueux tels que fraises, melon et poires.
-
Surveiller régulièrement pour vérifier que des moisissures n'apparaissent pas. Si elles apparaissent, les retirer et ajouter un peu d'alcool.
-
En guise de conseil de dégustation, vous pouvez vous en servir pour agrémenter des desserts comme des coupes de fruits, des glaces.
Here a recipe for all who want to try it
- 595grams of flour (Tipo 00 flour)
- 386grams Of water (cool temperature)
- 18 grams of salt
- One teaspoon of dry yeast or a quarter of fresh yeast block
If you don’t have tipo 00 flour use type 405 which is very similar but little less water.
Important: mix the flour and salt because yeast hates salt. Let the yeast dissolve in the water and then put it slowly in the flour to mix it well and then knead. I only can recommend a technique to knead it correctly.
Let it rest in a bowl for 3 hours but cover it with a wet kitchen blanket to keep the dough humid. That is very important to prevent it from drying

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop out 12 dough balls and place them on the baking sheet. wrap the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for no less than 12 hours. this will allow the gluten in the flour to relax and will give you a tender soft cookie. do not skip this step.

Ingredients
- 2000 g Beef—silverside or toprump
- 5 Tbsp Brown (malt) or cider vinegar
- 2.5 Tbsp Coarse salt (2% of the meat weight)
- 2 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp Coriander seed
- 1½ Tbsp Brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the coriander seeds in a dry pan, then grind down in a pestle and mortar or spice grinder. It should be mostly powder, with a few pieces of seed shells left in.
- Using a sharp knife, following the grain of the meat, cut into 1 inch (2.5cm) thick lengths and place in a non-metallic container.
- Combine all the spices and sprinkle into the meat. Sprinkle the vinegar on and rub everything in thoroughly whilst turning the meat with your hands.
- Cover the container and let your biltong cure for 24 hours in the fridge, turning and rubbing through the meat occasionally.
- Remove the meat from the container and pat dry with kitchen towels, taking care not to remove too much of the spice.
- Add a hook to the thickest end of each length. Plastic-covered paper clips make for a cheap solution. Hang in your biltong box, or in a well aired, ventilated space with a fan blowing gently to increase air flow. Do not point a fan directly at the meat (to avoid case hardening). Make sure none of the pieces are touching. Place some newspaper below the meat to catch any liquid.
- Drying times will vary with humidity, airflow and temperature. Test the readiness of your biltong every couple of days by squeezing the sides together with clean fingers. If you feel any give in the meat, it’s still ‘wet’ inside.
- Once ready, cut into thin slices with a sharp knife and enjoy some of the best meat you’ll ever eat.
Notes
- if using cheaper cuts of game or beef, add 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda per kg to tenderize the meat.
- if you don’t have any coarse salt and need to substitute with table salt, double-check that it’s not iodized salt – iodine leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Ingredients
- 2 cups rye flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground anise
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup molasses NOT blackstrap!
- ¾ cup milk plus extra for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.
- Place wet ingredients in a small saucepan and gently warm over medium heat.
- Add the warmed wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix using a rubber spatula until a sticky batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and flatten the surface. Lightly brush the top with milk. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan and serve warm or cold with butter.
Notes
- when you warm the wet ingredients, please really do just gently warm them until they're completely runny. Do not boil them.
- do not use blackstrap molasses, they are too bitter. Regular dark molasses like the ones used for gingerbread are the right kind.
- if you don't have all the individual spices the recipe calls for, use 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1.5 teaspoons of either pumpkin pie or apple pie spice mix.
- unlike American-style quick breads, this one is meant to be sliced into fairly thin slices. And since the bread is baked without any added fat... most definitely serve it slathered with butter ?

- sel, poivre
- muscade
Instructions
- Bien laver les pommes de terre pour conserver une peau bien propre qui pourra se déguster avec la chair pour ceux qui veulent…

Ingredients
- 1 lbs chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 green onions greens sliced thin
- salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
- toasted white sesame seeds optional, for topping
- crushed red pepper flakes optional, for topping
- olive oil
- spray oil
For Sauce
- 2 navel oranges zest one orange, juice both oranges
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
- 2 tsp fresh grated ginger or sub 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- sriracha sauce optional: mild – 1 tsp; med – 2 tsp; hot – 3+ tsp
Instructions
- Begin preheating the oven to 425° F and spray a large rimmed baking sheet with oil.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and fresh cracked black pepper and pour the panko out onto a wide plate. Working in batches, coat the chicken in the beaten egg then press into the panko to coat. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet as spaced out as possible.
- Spray the tops of the chicken pieces with oil. Place the chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip each piece and rotate the pan when you place it back into the oven. Bake for another 7-10 minutes until the chicken is crispy and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, on a separate baking sheet, toss the broccoli with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crisp and charred in a few spots. OR, pan fry broccoli in a swirl of olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Combine the soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Pour into a small saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until a thick sauce forms, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked chicken into a large mixing bowl, drizzle the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat (you may not want to use all of the sauce, so add it in steps until the chicken is coated to your liking). Add in the broccoli and toss to combine. Serve immediately topped with green onion, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper. Great on a bed of white rice!
