Пельмени.

La cuisine tunisienne - Несколько дополнений:
"Займусь ка я лучше пельменями.

Подошел основательно, а то чего, баловства ради шашку вытаскивать только: килограмм муки, 430 мл воды :), полтора килограмма мяса (смесь баранины, говядины и утки), половина килограмма лука и черный перец.

Восемь вот таких подносиков - или 500 штук, если по городскому пересчитывать.
Управился, еще солнце не село, но упрел основательно.
На месяц должно хватить.

Christmas carrots.


9 medium carrots, peeled, topped and tailed
250g/9oz butter
150g/5½oz sugar
3 tsp salt
4 star anise
Preparation method
Use a clean scourer to smooth the carrots and remove any peel marks (optional).
In a pan combine 400ml/14fl oz of water, the butter, sugar, salt and star anise. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add the carrots. Cook until the carrots are tender (approximately 45 minutes) and the volume of liquid has reduced by half.
Serve the carrots as a side dish with the reduced cooking liquid poured over.

The ten greatest chefs by Raymond Blanc.

Marco Pierre White to Heston Blumenthal: The ten greatest chefs by Raymond Blanc | Mail Online:
1. ANTONIN CAREME (1784-1833)
The first great chef of modern cuisine, Careme was rightly known as 'the cook of kings and the king of cooks'. The young Careme earned his keep in a Parisian chophouse and went on to open a patisserie where his creations included piece montées or croquembouche, that towering cake of profiteroles devoured at every French celebration. He cooked for Napoleon and came to Britain to serve the Prince Regent, later George IV. However, he hated the English fogs, found London sombre and returned to France. He knew that architecture - as well as art and science - is an important part of cooking. Careme's legacy remains as imposing as any of his grandest piece montées.
