I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so this is not quite my thing but those chocolate praline wafers look fun and are easy to make, so this should be a useful recipe for choc lovers:

First up today, the #icecream is on. And the mix tastes delicious!

It is inspired by a Nigel Slater recipe in A Cook's Book for Lemon Ice cream but I mixed it up somewhat. It has:

500ml whipping cream, soft whipped
300g lemon curd
250ml custard (store-bought)
120ml of the soft creamy top of a tub of yoghurt (I use Desi/Indian yoghurt)

Plus a blended up mix of juice of 1 lemon, mint leaves, lemon verbena leaves, makrut lime leaves, makrut lime zest, lemon zest, ripe cumquats (remove seeds but use skin and flesh), slug alcohol (I used dry vermouth as it was out on the cupboard for a risotto) - whizz this all up till it is blended nicely. The leaves need to be pulverised.

Mix all together.

Freeze in ice cream machine.

Place in freezer to solidify.

Eat.

(@koosli I wish I'd added a little salt, just a touch. Next time.)

One of my favourite breads is a Cider Bread from #KitchenDiariesII by #NigelSlater.

It's a combo of bread flour and spelt flour, mixed with milk, honey and dry cider. The cider gives it a slight sour-dough taste.

It is probably accidental but it is a variation on Normandy's Cider Bread which is made with a mix of flour including rye flour.

I really recommend Nigel's bread if you have the book.

At this time of year, I always find myself returning to Nigel Slater's 'Kitchen Diaries' (2005) for cooking inspiration. There is something so comforting and reassuring about the January and February recipes. I'm looking at the 'velvety soup for a clear, cold day' (my favourite potato soup recipe), the 'Bulghur wheat with aubergines and mint' and the 'Herb and barley broth to bring you back to health'.

Good Morning Monday 19 December

This is what is going to go with everything in my house this Christmas. What's your pickle of choice?

Nigel Slater has a great semi-Spelt flour bread recipe that uses apple cider for a sour-dough taste to the bread. It is awesome.

I suspect this is the same or similar recipe: https://jonoandjules.com/2013/06/24/spelt-cider-bread/

It's that time of year again. Advent calendars and candles bought and posted. Time to read this again. It's also a very relaxing listen if you need an escape as I do. Except for a very short grim description of the harsh aspects of Winter in the first chapter it's Winter loving bliss. I do think Nigel would benefit from loosening up a little though. #nigelslater #thechristmaschronicles

@nexus_5_ Thanks, it’s a favourite. From a recipe by #NigelSlater #KitchenDiaries which I’ve adapted a bit.

Made #NigelSlater’s Orange and Poppyseed cake this afternoon. Literally liquid marmalade on top.

Reading a newspaper supplement that is one week old and now I must bake a cake. #NigelSlater is responsible for this flight of fancy on a saturday afternoon.
