Fresh on blogging and first recipe

Greetings to all food lovers, 


I am just starting to write on my blog as a first time and I don`t know where to start. Actually it was suggested  quiet long time ago with my fiancé to start on blogging but due to my busy work schedule could not manage till now. And here I am now! 


First of all, I am a food lover also Le Cordon Bleu trained and well experienced Pastry Chef. I travelled and lived/worked in different countries in the past and recently I am based in Glasgow, Scotland. I would love to share with you my and my fiancé`s recipes,  our interest on food/different cuisines, different trends related to food world, about chefs and cookbooks etc. 


I thought my fresh start on blogging should be sweet start  then I decided to write down my yesterday recipe of `Crème brulée`. I haven`t made crème brulée quiet long time but couple of night ago as my sweet tooth fiancé during commercial break when he saw it on screen suddenly he started `ahhhh` sounds. Then I decided to surprise him yesterday. 


My easy crème brulée recipe is as below:


6 medium-size egg yolk
100 gr sugar
500ml double cream
1 vanilla stick(or couple of drops vanilla flavour)
Brown sugar for topping


First switch on your oven to 150C before starting on the recipe. 


Then put the double cream(with either vanilla stick seeds or vanilla drops) in a saucepan and placed over medium heat on stove. Separate egg yolks and whites(you can keep whites in airtight container in the fridge for up to a week). Whisk egg yolks with sugar until fluffy and creamy. While cream will be start to boiling reduce the heat and keep for couple of minutes more on fire. Then slowly pour the cream over the egg mixture while whisking. You can divide the mixture individual ramekins or oven proof small cups but I preferred to put in big oval porcelain bowl cause also nice to have it like pudding style when you serve it. 


So next step to bake it in the oven with ben-marie technique. Meaning you need a deep tray to place your ramekins or big bowl inside the tray first. And then pour over hot water inside the tray till reaching the level of 2/3 of the bowl or ramekins. Be careful not to drop any water to your brulee/s. And place the tray into oven carefully and bake 45 minutes. As soon as the time goes off take the tray out carefully - Not burn yourself  - and take the big bowl or ramekins out of water. 


Let cool down at least for an hour out of fridge and placed in fridge to stay overnight. If you are serving same day at least keep it in the fridge for 3-4 hours. So just before you serve sprinkle some brown sugar on top of the crème brulée and burn it either with brulée torch or oven grill. I used my oven grill and it came out fantastic. Unfortunately placed pictures of my crème brulée down below just remaining of left over. Hope you will be enjoying my first message and also crème brulée recipe. 


Bon Appétit!
