TEA TEA TEA

What an original idea of serving tea.

I saw this for the first time in a restaurant in Rio de Janeiro called ZUKA where the tea is actually a bunch of great flavoured leaves that you can mix match at your tasting.



Bring water to boil and bring to the table a tray of different flavours:

Lemon zest

Cinnamon sticks

Mint leaves

Lemon grass leaves

Ginger stickes

Rose blossoms

and now use your imagination...

Add at your taste or all in your cup and pour the hot water. Let it infuse for at least 5min.

Aspargus Tarte

This is a simple tart that you will be making many times for sure...

Take few layers of filo pastry and brush them with butter all the way to the corners.

Lay the filo in a baking tray (preferably using a removable bottom) and make sure the filo is bigger than the tray so you can curl it inside after.

Put around 200grs of green fresh aspargus in boiling water and leave it to cook around 5 minutes. Remove from water.

Cook 3 small potatoes without skin and after remove from water and mash them roughly.

In a large tin, place the mashed potatoes, 100g of cheddar cheese, 100g of a strong dry cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg and 2,5 dl of fresh cream.

Add now 3 eggs and mix well.

Put the mix in the filo pastry and cover with the aspargus. Brush with butter and take to the oven for 25 minutes.

Serve cold.

IT'S SUMMER... BEST CESAR SALAD EVER

This is the best Cesar Salad I ever tried...
It is Summer and we feel for salads and light meals.

Here's how:
In a big woden bowl place 4 anchovies and 2 garlic cloves - crush them together with a fork and then add sea salt, fresh grounded pepper and 1 lemon juice , 1 tea spoon of english sauce and 1/2 tea spoon of dijon mustard. Mix well and finally add 1 egg yoke. Mix again and slowly add olive oil in a mixer.
Put all the lettuce leaves in the bowl, add the sauce and the bread croutons.
Mix and finally add the boiled egg and the parmesan.

Optionally you can also add a grillet chicken breast.

Great meal!!!
