Veteran cookbook writers Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough wrote a book called À LA MODE: one hundred and twenty desserts in six pairings, each dessert with its ice cream, gelato, sherbet, or sorbet.
In this episode, Mark, the writer in our duo, is going to whip up a batch of butter pecan ice cream. Except he's going to make it even better by using brown butter in the custard for a richer, nuttier flavor.
In the previous episode, he made brown-butter graham crackers under Bruce's watchful eye. Ever the chef, Bruce has lots of critiques for Mark, the writer. But the results are fantastically tasty!
Brown-butter butter pecan ice cream? What could be better?
Veteran food writers Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough wrote a cookbook called À LA MODE, lots of desserts with an ice cream, gelato, or sorbet pairing for each. That is, 120 recipes in sixty pairings: ice creams and their desserts.
In this episode, Mark's going to try his hand at brown-butter graham crackers.
They're easier to make than you think. Mark pulls them off without a hitch. Listen in, get the recipe, and change your life (maybe).
Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough are always up for a challenge. In this episode, Mark makes this classic Danish dessert, a tapioca pudding made with red currants.
Fortunately, we live in New England and can grow our own (or buy them at local farmers' markets). In traditional fashion, you let this "pudding" set up, then pour cream over the top. It's absurdly summery and delicious.
And easy, too. Maybe the hardest thing about it is pronouncing it. "Rødgrød med fløde" means something like "red pudding with cream."
Listen in and find out how to make this delicious make-ahead dessert--but maybe not how to pronounce it. (Danes, beware of bad sounds!)
