Cool Dessert

Thursday, July 03, 2008

Dunnit! At last, an apple sorbet that tastes pretty close to what I imagined with my inner taste. Sorbets are difficult. To get the right texture (I never get the right texture) you need to make a sugar syrup, but you also need to add lemon or lime juice to tone down the sweetness. But you overdo the lemon, and then you add more sugar to take the edge off and ... it’s downhill all the way. Yes, of course I have recipes. But none of the sorbet recipes I have ever followed have worked for me. So I improvise.

Have you ever been to the Punt Verd? To me, the most depressing - and frightening - bin is the one that’s full of computer monitors, printers, keyboards, mice etc, all just thrown in there, piled up…

Vilanova And The Geltrú

Friday, June 06, 2008

This week I revisited Vilanova i La Geltrú after… hey, the last time was before we had the kids, wasn’t it? I’d certainly never been beyond Sitges on the train, and that was decades ago. We drove everywhere, and we almost always went to the mountains - a village in the Solsončs - where my late husband’s family had a house. Enric hated the beach, and I have to admit, I dislike it too when it’s packed out. About ten years ago we drove to Sitges first thing on a Saturday morning after leaving a long-lost cousin from Cuba at the airport. I found it divine, and Enric was just about okay until the crowds started to arrive.

You may know that the word polaco (Pole, Polish) is used in a derogatory way by people from elsewhere in Spain, in particular Madrid, to refer to a Catalan. Hence the title of the very popular TV3 satire programme Polňnia. The thinking seems to have been: so they call us polacos? Okay: then this crazy place is Polňnia.

Another Day in Paradise

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

I love cooking. I love trying out recipes. I also love making simple (and, I trust, healthy) dishes with what I have around. On Sunday I made a delicious (if I say so myself!) four course meal, which, with the exception of the dessert, hinged on doing tasty things with olive oil. There must be thousands of articles about olive oil entitled Liquid Gold, so the Phil Collins song title will have to do.
