Artichokes

I have not had artichokes much. There are many recipes for asparagus, artichokes in Mediterranean vegetables. This book is a James Beard winner.

Cuisine foundations book had a step by step picture of cutting an artichoke in three pages. But that was two variations. Still it is a one and a half page for one kind of it. I am glad I bought only one artichoke. I started peeling it and I almost got to the centre of it and found it heartless. Disappointed, I made a curry out of it. It is above average. Just some part of it has the lemongrass texture. The tender ones agree more with my taste buds. I need to learn to pick chokes with hearts.

Jerusalem Artichoke.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
