Crema Catalana

As monstse-2009 says, this is the authentic Crema Catalana, which, unlike what many people think, is made with rice starch and not cornstarch or similar. It's very easy to make and has an amazing flavor. With these amounts, I made 8 small bowls, but you can use the same measurements for 4 people in regular-sized bowls.

Spanish Crema Catalana Spanish Crema Catalana
This recipe is quite sweet, but the one my friend made for me in Catalonia was even sweeter. I really like cinnamon sugar, so I committed a sin and changed the recipe around a bit.The cinnamon flavour and zest are essential to this recipe. Add plenty of brown sugar and cook until lovely and crispy. Cook on a high heat from start to finish. The sugar will caramelize very quickly, so to prevent burning it, don't leave it unattended.

Créme Caramel Créme Caramel
Hi!! The heatwave is finally over, hoorayyyy but we have rain on and off during the day. Our basset hound Charlie, who is now 1 year old, was really having a rough time with the heat last week, as we all did but I did my best to keep him cool with those cool collars. If you have not tried them yet, please do they really work!! He is now running around and enjoying his walks and playing with all the other little doggies…:)When it’s hot I like to make different sorts of desserts that are refrigerated instead of always going for Ice Cream. Not that I don’t love Ice Cream!!! I’mein just saying. So, I made this very easy and enjoyable summer dessert called Cremé Caramelé. I do understand that it is not summer all over the world, but it will be at some point, so keep this dessert in mind as a cool off. Buuuttt you can always make this dessert during the winter time, and enjoy eating it with a nice warm cup of Hot Chocolate or a nice big cup of Cappucino or whatever warm drink you enjoy. Foodzesty -

Basil Crema de Ají Basil Crema de Ají
If you've ever had Peruvian food, you might have tasted these simple but addictively delicious baby potatoes with a spicy cream sauce they call crema de ají (pronounced CREHmah deh Ah-HEE), ají meaning chili pepper.Well I happen to have a few Russets that have been laying around for a few weeks, so while they're not the perfect little baby potatoes to go with this dish, they'll provide that tender earthiness that plays so well with this Basil Crema de Ají, which, aside from making a delicious accompaniment to potatoes, would also be delicious drizzled straight atop grilled fish or chicken, or as a dip.Leftovers combined with a little extra acid in the form of vinegar or lemon or lime juice plus a little bit of olive oil make a great salad dressing as well. x -
Basic Custard Cream Basic Custard Cream
Delicious custard cream is essential if you are going to make cream puffs!I add the same amount of heavy cream to this custard cream, and use it when I'm making cream puffs.It will harden when chilled, so don't heat too much. Stop the heat when it has softened a little.Use any kind of liqueur you like.You can easily make custard cream in the microwave, but I think making it in a saucepan gives a smoother and tastier finish.
