Unfinished apple pie !

Yesterday I had a great time with my high school friend! We didn´t see each other for a loooong time! In the mean while he became a great chef , so we decided to have a first cooking date! Actually we didn´t have a plan for a dinner so adventure started with Beef Carpaccio and ended with nice refreshing apple desert!
Recipe for beef carpacio I can write you some other time, but this desert blows my mind complitely! I want to share it with you! It´s simple, refreshing and light!

Ingredients for 6 persons


3 dcl milk
5 dkg flour
20 dkg white chocolate
75 dkg butter
2 apples
2 lemons
Power sugar 
0,03 cl lemon liqueur
Phyllo pastry ( half dose)

Over boil the milk, add the flour and mix it for aprox 3-4 minutes . In a hot cream add the chocolate and butter. With the hand blender create a fine silk cream. Leave it to cool down.If you want to avoid crusting on your cream, cover it with PVC film.

Grate the 2 green apples on a smallest grater and add a juice of two squeezed lemons.
Sweet it with powdered sugar and add a 0,03 cl of lemon liqueur.
Chop the phyllo pastry ( half a packet ) on a strips and bake them 5-10 minutes in a preheat oven on  210 C
 When you served first put the cream, than add apples and then cover with phyllo pastry slices!

Voila!
You can impress your guests any time!

Evening gatherings

Food is fundamental to life, we all know that. Yet, our eating habits have become incredibly complex, involving many aspects of daily life far beyond addressing simple nutritional needs.In our house we always appreciated a good food!  From my mother I inherited a love for food, and with my husband I have learned how to cook.
What do we expect when a woman cooks compared to when a man is cooking? Men use many techniques and have bold, creative dishes. Women make homey, nurturing, and soulful. At least it is so with us!
Last night we had dinner with friends.Igor has been in charge of the appetizer and main course, and dessert- for me.Appetizers at our house are usually cold, and in many cases raw.So last night we had smoked and fresh tuna carpaccio,and later grilled sea shark meat on sticks rolled in bacon , and rice with almonds and pine nuts.He also made a sauce of mascarpone cheese and dijon mustard with herbs. It perfectly matches with fish. Just like small red peppers stuffed with cheese.For dessert I made ginger biscuits with nuts, lime curd, raspberries, and mascarpone cream with vanilla taste and grated 75% dark chocolate. I love the evening gatherings around the table with a glass of good wine, good music,and  good vibe.The table and food together create cherished memories, and it is my pleasure to cook for the people we love! I wish you all plasant weekend and share at least one meal with your dear ones!

With love

V.
