Potato Whirls and Whorls

Potato Whirls and Whorls
Crispy, golden fluted edges of piped mashed potatoes
Duchess potatoes formed the border of Homard Thermidor on the luxury liner according to ‘Last Dinner on the Titanic Menus and recipes From the Great Liner’. These Whirls and Whorls are a good way of bringing elegance to snacking.
Duchess potatoes are made by piping out mashed potatoes, cream, eggs, butter, salt and any seasoning and then heated till golden brown. They taste great by themselves. They can be infused with any flavor.
To customize them, Whirls can be cut like a bagel and had with any dip in between as sandwich bites. Whorls piped as nests can then be filled with dips according to the favorite flavors of the family members.
Since these cooked potatoes are shaped by piping. They can be piped into any shape. The Boston Cooking – school cookbook offers ideas of baskets, pyramids, crowns, leaves and roses.
They can be used for decoration too and as accompaniment to other dishes.

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.

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.

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.
