Waiter, there’s something in my retro classic – the round-up

by Jeanne Horak on May 8, 2009 13 Comments in Waiter, there's something in my...

WTSIM_logo.gif

Right folks, roll up, roll up.  It’s time for the retro round-up!  For this month’s edition of Waiter, There’s Something in My…, the monthly food blogging event run by Johanna, Andrew and me, I decreed the theme to be retro classics and asked you all to dig around at the bottom of your recipe files to bring out the classics of yesteryear.  Here’s what you came up with:

GourmetGiraffe The very first entry came winging its way into my inbox from Melbourne, Australia, where Johanna of the Gourmet Green Giraffe casts her mind and tastebuds back and comes up with the charmingly-named parkin.  But beware – this molasses-flavoured treat is meant to mature for a week before eating, so those in need of a quick cake-fix will be cliimbing the walls.

Tastefood Staying with the sweet stuff but jetting across to Lynda of Tastefood in the San Francisco Bay area, we find her busy concocting little butterscotch puddings.  Man, this brings back memories of the “revolutionary” little individual puddings that appeared on South African supermarket shelves in the 1980s –  Flanby!  They definitely did creme caramel but I’m almost sure that they or their competitors also did chocolate and butterscotch – my favourite.  Good times. In fact, I can almost hear Duran Duran on the stereo!

FoodNFamily Off to Cape Town now where my friend Kit of Food & Family proves once again that great minds think alike.  I had gone so far as to buy the shrimps and the avocados when Kit’s e-mail arrived in my inbox.  Damn!!  This event was not big enough for two avocado and prawn cocktails, also known as avocado Ritz.  Both Kit and I remember thinking that this was the world’s most sophisticated starter when we were growing up!  OK, our views have changed somewhat, but there is no denying that it’s still delicious 🙂

GourmetChick Back in London, Gourmet Chick (like me!) is feeling the stress of these uncertain economic times.  What’s a girl to do, other than to revert back to simpler times, before low-carb diets and cholesterol-consciousness.  Yes, folks, I speak of the Golden Age of macaroni cheese.  Comfort in a bowl – made even yummier by GC’s addition of bacon bits and mustard.  I feel better already!

Ambrosia Quest A quick trans-Atlantic flight gets us to the kitchen of Paula of Ambrosia Quest in Silicon Valley, California.  Want a traditional Bavarian dessert, but too scared to temper the eggs?  Try Paula’s raspberry cream with lemon creme fraiche which uses gelatine instead of eggs – but still turns out to taste lush and sliky.  Now that’s my kind of recipe!

BettyNoire Back in South Africa, we catch up with Betty of BettyNoire in Johannesburg.  Although her blog is not exclusively about food, she saw this month’s theme and could not resist digging out her classic South African cookbook Kook en Geniet (Cook and Enjoy), billed in its time as ” a guide for every young lady, bride and housewife”.  She produces a truly astonishing beetroot ring with peas and mayo.  Truly retro-tastic!

HardSpear Another South African blogger who doesn’t focus on food exclusively but decided to join in the fun this month is Spear of Hardspear.  He takes us on a magical mystery tour of food of the 1970s – chicken liver pate, Chateaubriand, devilled eggs, angels on horseback… culminating in his dish of raspberry charlotte.  Excuse me, I have to go and put some Abba on the stereo now!

Melecotte Back across the Atlantic in Atlanta, the lovely Chris of Melecotte brings back some childhood memories for me.  As a child growiing up in South African in the 1970s and 1980s, Twinkies were like moon rocks – simply unobtainable.  And yet we knew all about them from those umimpeachable information sources – Archie and Richie Rich comic books 😉  Now that they are freely available, my adult palate is not nearly as smitten as my teenage one would have been… but I’m sure Melecotte’s homemade Twinkies would be a whole different ballgame 🙂

CocoCooks Further north, my dear “Chicago sister” Courtney of Coco Cooks proves once again that great minds think alike.  Clearly we were both channeling the meringue goddess for this event, as you’ll notice when you see my entry!  Courtney gets her hands on the Military Wives cookbook which spans two centuries of cooking.  Now that’s a whole lot of retro!  Courtney opts for an old-fashioned banana pudding which is comfort food extraordinaire – and just look at that perfect meringue topping!

Passionatecook Right here in London, my friend and co-founder of this event Johanna from The passionate Cook gave us a break from the sweet stuff and went for something meatier.  Like me, she was on the brink of making prawn cocktail when something in the retro classic Cordon Bleu Cookbook caught her eye: a classic beef Wellington.  You can see why this used to be the ultimate dish to impress at dinner parties!

Spittoon Unsurprisingly, my other friend and co-founder Andrew of SpittoonExtra went for something sweet.  He cleverly combines his regular dessert of the week with WTSIM and makes a dessert that I’m sure every single one of us remembers from childhood:  trifle.  If your childhood was like mine, this will bring to mind claggy custard and jelly cubes in terrifyingly day-glo colours.  But Andrew presents us with a delicious sounding lemon blueberry trifle.  Yum! 

BakedAlaskaTitleWeb And as for me, your hostess with the mostest, I decided to make something that used to fascinate me as a child and that I’ve only attempted once before.  My first cookbook in the 1970s was the My Learn to Cook Book, and in it was this most astonishing:  baked Alaska!  To a kid, baked ice cream seemed to be an impossibility and I was consequently fascinated.  For my contribution, I made individual baked Alaskas with Cointreau and marmalade.

And that, as they say, is that, folks!  Thanks to all the creative, retro-tastic participants, and I look forward to seeing you all at next month’s event over at Johanna’s. A little bird has told me that the theme might have something to do with French bistro cooking…!

More deliciousness for you!

    Great theme and it came up with a really diverse range of entries (even if there were nearly two prawn cocktails!)

    Jeanne, you are hijacking my memory bank. Flanby! I mean, were they not the biggest treat ever? And as for salivating over the unknown Twinkie while reading my Richie Rich magazine, I guess we had parallel childhoods.
    Great event. Makes me want to head to the kitchen and start cooking.

    wonderful round-up – thank you! what a selection of classics… and the beetroot ring (though not my taste as you know) LOOKS so retro it’s unbelievable! well done everybody, look out for the announcement of the next round when we’ll be cooking BISTRO FOOD!

    How fun! Some of those dishes (beef wellington, meringues) bring back some deeply buried (but good) memories. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

    Jeanne, thanks for the nice comments on my blog. Yes, although my blog is not exclusively about food, I am finding myself doing more and more food posts, such as my mission in starting to bake my own sourdough bread. You also have to check out my latest post on Indian Butter Chicken for Mother’s Day.
    Again, I had so much fun doing this post. Also reading the roundup. I will definitely visit the other posts in your roundup, they all look fantastic. I also remember the flanby. It was made by Chambourcy or something to the likes. I don’t think they exist any more. The closest one get now is Moirs’ Caramel Cremes which you have to make yourself.

    Great round up. I always prefer the more retro style of cooking because it reminds me of home and growing up. And yes, I admit your meringue inspired me!

    Drat! How remiss of me not to have noticed this latest WTSIM… theme. I could have posted the Cherries Jubilee that we had not long ago. Good thing there are plenty of comforting looking dishes in the retro-roundup.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
Me, turning around and walking out on 2020 like a Me, turning around and walking out on 2020 like a bad romance...

And while we are on the topic, can I still get a refund on the first week of 2021? Not sure it was fit for purpose... 🤣 Either way, I am putting on my brightest dress, fixing my eyes firmly on the future and walking purposefully towards it (bottle of wine optional but always welcome!). 

I don't make resolutions at new year, but I have been thinking about what positives I want to carry forward with me as I walk away from the car crash of a year that was 2020. For me, some big positives have been:

* Working from home, in terms of increased flexibility, increased productivity and increased visibility - I definitely hope never to have to work in the office 5 days a week again. 
* Better and more regular exercise. I ran 585km in 2020, probably as much as in all previous years put together - let's see what I can do in 2021!
* Better connection  and more video calls to faraway friends and family. Why have I not always made video calls?? 

I don't think we need to even mention the many negatives of the last year, but I am curious to know if you took any positives away from 2020? Let me know in the comments 🙂

Onwards and upwards!

I am guilty of not posting as much as I would have liked to in 2020 but as it turns out, I find it hard to be on social media much if I am not in a good headspace. Who knew... 😜 A lot of my posts were memories of previous trips but a huge thank you to you all for indulging my travelstalgia (if that is not a word, it should be!), coming along for the ride, liking, commenting, and sharing your thoughts. 

So I give you my #topnine2020 posts, in order of most likes over the past year. Left to right, starting top left, we have The Shard in London; my sesame ginger Brussels sprouts; Keukenhof garden tulips; Christmas at London's Spitalfields market: Carcasonne; my sticky plum upside-down cake; Singapore shophouses; Grenada harbour; and a raspberry & hibiscus G&T.

Here's to making new memories in 2021, and wishing you all a year of abundance x
So how was your Christmas day yesterday? In this So how was your Christmas day yesterday? 

In this year that has been so hard on so many people,  I hope you had somebody to share it with; enough food to feel replete; and warm place to eat. I know it was  not the Christmas that we all wanted, but it was definitely the Christmas that reminded us to count our blessings. 

One of the blessings at my table was one of the best Brussels sprout recipes I have ever had - roasted sprouts with chorizo, hazelnuts and thyme - and with only 4 ingredients, so simple to make! Trust me, you want to bookmark this one 🔖

For 4 people you need:
* 500g trimmed Brussels sprouts 
* 75g chorizo, chopped
* 15g hazelnuts
* sprig of thyme
* vegetable oil

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Halve each sprout lengthways and toss the sprouts in enough oil to lightly coat. Arrange on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast for 15 mins or until outer leaves start to brown, then turn over and roast till cut sides just start to colour (about 10 mins). 

2. While the sprouts are roasting,  toast the hazelnuts in a large dry pan over medium heat till light brown, remove and roughly crush.

3. In the same pan, fry the chorizo  till it starts to release its oil, then remove sprouts from the oven and add to pan. Mix well.

4. Tip sprouts into a serving bowl and top with hazelnuts and thyme leaves. Serve hot.
"The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoug "The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius

I think we can all agree that 2020 was not the year that we ordered and was a really difficult year for almost everyone (other than maybe Jeff Bezos...).

I could so easily dwell on all the things I have found hard this year - being separated from my family in South Africa and no realistic hope of seeing them anytime soon; no travel since Oct 2019; the social isolation of living alone in a pandemic; having friends fall ill with Covid; and the huge anxiety brought on by the uncertainty of everything and the complete inability to plan anything (hard for a planner and control freak!).

But as the quote says, think dark thoughts and your soul ends up dark. So I have chosen to dye my soul in the bright colours of things I am grateful for instead: a rewarding job that i can do remotely; amazing friends to Zoom or call around the world; a house of my own that I love; a beautiful running route minutes from my door; and a strong, healthy body.

What colour are you dyeing your soul in this Christmas?

If you've visited London in the last 7 years then If you've visited London in the last 7 years then you cannot have failed to see The Shard - a striking assymetrical architectural "shard of glass" building dominating the skyline south of London Bridge. 

At 800ft and 95 floors, it is the tallest building in the UK and western Europe and houses 26 floors of office space, 3 floors of restaurants, 19 floors of 5-star Shangri-La hotel, 13 floors of residential apartments, and London's highest public viewing gallery, @shardview, comprising the 68th, 69th and 72nd floors.

The viewing gallery has now reopened after the Covid-19 lockdown and here are my 6 top tips for visitors:

🏙 Book in advance via the View From The Shard website. Walk-ins are not currently accepted. Although you can make a same day booking via the website, tickets are up to 35%  cheaper if you book 14 or more days in advance. For example, a standard adult ticket costs an eye-watering £34, but can go down to £22 if booked in advance.

🏙 Entry is timed and you have 30 mins after your allocated time to arrive or risk losing your slot. Security procedures take a while, so arrive 15 mins or so before your allocated slot.

🏙 Once you are at the top there is no time limit so take your time! Savour the views in all directions, as far as 40 miles away on a clear day. Use the enhanced reality interactive telescopes to learn more about London landmarks.

🏙 You can buy a £5 "weather guarantee" per ticket - and then if visibility is so bad you cannot see at least three of: the London Eye the Walkie Talkie, Tower Bridge,  One Canada Square, and St Paul’s Cathedral - then you can come back for free within 3 months.

🏙 No cash payments are accepted, so make sure you have a card to pay for souvenirs and refreshments.

🏙 Make sure you visit the restrooms while you are there - it's the best view from a loo you have ever experienced!
PSA: you may want to hit the bookmark icon because PSA: you may want to hit the bookmark icon because trust me, this refreshing summer cocktail is a keeper! 

Over the last few years, there has been an increased interest in premium tonic waters - after all  what is the point of buying excellent, nuanced, small batch gin and smothering it in cheap tonic? 

In 2015 premium spirits brand Suntory founded @merchantsheart, a range of premium mixers designed to enhance the flavour of their spirits. The range includes plain, light; floral aromatics; hibiscus; and pink peppercorn tonics, as well as ginger ale. I have been buying the pink peppercorn flavour at Sainsbury's since last year so I was thrilled when Merchant's Heart asked if they could send me a gift box of their tonics to try. [GIFTED]

To show off the beautiful pink hibiscus gin, I made a raspberry & cucumber gin cocktail (swipe left  and turn your sound up to hear the fizzzzzz in the video!). To make 2 long drinks you will need:
🍸 50ml gin
🍸 2 x 200ml bottles Merchant's Heart hibiscus tonic water
🍸 a handful of fresh raspberries
🍸 cucumber ribbons 
🍸 ice

Muddle half the strawberries with the ice. Pour over the gin and mix, then slowly top up with tonic. Add the cucumber ribbons and whole raspberries and enjoy. The hibiscus tonic not only lends a pink colour but also a floral flavour without being sweet.

What is your favourite way to enjoy gin and tonic?
"What is this life if, full of care, We have no ti "What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare." - William Henry Davies

Seeing as I am not able to add much to my travel photo collection in 2020, I have been enjoying a trawl back through old travel pics like this one, taken about a year ago in beautiful hilltop town of #Carcassonne.

This spectacular old walled city stands in the middle of the modern town in the Languedoc region of southern France and was started in Gallo-Roman times. The citadel consists essentially of a concentric design of two outer walls with 53 towers and barbicans designed to prevent/survive attack by siege engines. Even today you can see the different building styles and materials of the Roman and Medieval sections of the wallls as you walk between them.

In the central keep, protected by its own moat and drawbridge, stands Château Comtal, a 12th-century castle which offers archaeological exhibits and a tour of the inner ramparts for history fans.

Or you can do as I did and just take a moment to stand and stare, dreaming of fairytale castles and knights in shining armour.

Have you visited Carcassonne or any other castles? I'd love to hear about it in the comments 🏰
