We Love It When You Love It

We Love It When You Love It

How did the hand pies look? Did you love the brownies? How many choux did you eat in one sitting? Yes, these are the things I think about. So today, after creating a gorgeous selection of our favorites for a client to send as a new year’s gift, I was given a gift of my own: direct feedback from the recipients of the pastries. I was so happy, I had to share it with you.

So here it is, you loving what we love. Maybe I don’t know where to look for spicy food in Europe, or maybe my idea of spicy differs from the palate here, but I’ve noticed that there’s a decided lack of spicy heat on this side of the pond. I haven’t turned into one of those spice monsters that travel around with ghost chilli pepper flakes in their pocket, but I do appreciate that tingly burn you get when digging in to a perfectly spicy dish.

QUICK PICKLE RECIPE

1/2 TEASPOON SALT

1/2 TEASPOON SUGAR

1 CUP MATCHSTICK DAIKONS

1 CUP MATCHSTICK CARROTS

In a bowl, sprinkle the salt and sugar over the carrots and daikons. Let stand for 30 minutes, rinse and enjoy. Warm your tortillas, spread with a bit of pate, squirt on a touch of mayo, and pile on the pulled pork. Top with daikon, carrots, jalapenos, cilantro and a squirt of sriracha. Squeeze on some lime and you’re good to go!
