Salted caramel and toasted pecan ice-cream sundaes

Homemade salted caramel sauce with ice-cream and toasted pecans. What more do you need?? | cooksister.com

Fear.  We are all familiar with its unpleasant  mouth-drying, heart-palpitating visits, and with its capacity to severely limit our activities. It can range from an uncomfortable passing sensation to a debilitating lifelong phobia, and there really is almost nothing that does not awaken fear in  somebody on the planet, from spiders (arachnophobia) to strangers (xenophobia) to open spaces (agoraphobia) to closed spaces (claustrophobia) to cats (ailurophobia).   To those who do not suffer from a specific phobia, they can seem totally irrational and bizarre – take for example mageirocophobia. Would you believe it’s technically defined as a phobia of the kitchen – or more practically, a fear of cooking. When I first heard of it I thought it was some sort of culinary equivalent to man-flu, invented by a spouse who was particularly averse to helping out in the kitchen.  But it is in fact a real condition, although in most people it manifests as some degree of anxiety rather than a full-blown, heart racing, hyperventilating phobia.  And would you believe me if I told you almost every one of us suffers from it to some degree?

You see, mageirocophobia differs from person to person in terms of what exactly is feared, which range from social phobias to physical phobias. One of the most common manifestations is the fear of making people ill by inadvertently serving undercooked or spoiled food (“It was the salmon mousse“, as the famous Monty Python Meaning of Life sketch goes!); or fear of serving inedibly bad food, whether because of overcooking or overseasoning; or even causing harm to a guest by inadvertently serving something that they are allergic to or intolerant of.  And then there are people like me who panic when they have to prepare things that might result in injury to themselves.

You see, I am a cut-myself-or-burn-myself kinda girl.  Sharp knives are magnetically attracted to the soft flesh of my fingers, and I have a talent for brushing up against something that’s just spent an hour in the oven at 190 degrees Celsius. Although I know I can make dulce du leche by boiling a sealed tin of sweetened condensed milk, the very thought of the possibility that it could explode if it boils dry means that it’s something I’ll never knowingly attempt. Using very sharp knives gives me weird tingles of terror down the back of my legs until Nick nervously snatches the knife away from me and offers to help. Deep frying is something that has happened maybe, umm, three times in my kitchen since I moved into my own flat in 1998.

As with most of my fears, I blame my parents – I have vivid memories of my mom cooking fudge and warming us kids to stay Very Far Away from the stove as the boiling fudge was Very Very Hot. This admonishment has stuck with me all my life and although I’ve watched other people make caramel, I had never tried all by myself without adult (!) supervision… But I do love a properly salted caramel sauce to distraction and recently the longing got to be too much. (I also figured that for someone who had healed a broken femur and had a brush with skin cancer in less than 2 years, being afraid of a bit of molten sugar was starting to look a little lame!) So I downed a can of Man-Up, put on my big girl pants and headed for the kitchen where I discovered that, provided you have the right equipment, some common sense, and don’t allow yourself to be distracted, making caramel is easy peasy, and super rewarding. (Do have a look at my friend David Lebovitz’s great tips for making caramel!)

As I had agonised so long and hard about making the caramel sauce, I figured that I needed to use it in a dessert where it would be the star of the show  so I went for a simple but classic pairing with vanilla ice-cream, adding toasted pecans for both texture and an extra savoury flavour.  The end result, served at a lunch for friends, had a rather surprising effect on some guests as they clasped their bowl close to their chests and hissed “Mine!!” at anybody who approached them while there was still a hint of dessert left in their bowl.  And if that kind of compliment isn’t worth facing your culinary fears for, then I don’t know what is!

Never made salted caramel sauce? It's far easier than you think and these little salted caramel and toasted pecan sundaes give you the perfect excuse to take the salted caramel plunge!
Author: Jeanne Horak-Druiff
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 10+
Ingredients
  • 1 cup pecans, some roughly chopped and some whole
  • 200g white granulated sugar
  • 90g salted butter, cut up into cubes
  • 120ml double cream
  • 1 tsp fleur de sel flakes
  • Good quality vanilla ice-cream
Instructions
  1. In a non-stick frying pan, toast the nuts over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, tossing a few times so that they brown all over. Watch them carefully though as they catch easily. Set aside to cool
  2. Heat the sugar over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan that is at least 15cm deep (when you add the cream later, the caramel will foam and you need to give it space to do so). Resist the urge to stir! Tilt the pan if there seem to be hot spots where the sugar is melting faster than in other places. Although the melting sugar will seem to form lumps, it will eventually melt into a syrup that will darken in colour as you continue to heat it. Be careful not to burn it though!
  3. As soon as all the sugar has melted and you have a completely smooth syrup, add the butter at once - watch out for splattering and bubbling as the sugar is really hot! Stir the butter into the sugar until it has melted completely (this should take around 3 minutes).
  4. Very slowly carefully, add the cream to the sugar in a thin drizzle, while stirring continuously. Once again, watch out as the mixture will splatter and and bubble up in the pan.
  5. Bring the mixture to the boil and allow to boil for a further minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the salt.
  6. Place as many scoops of ice-cream as desired in as many bowls as you have guests. Top each bowl with a generous helping of the hot caramel sauce and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Serve immediately.
Notes
The sauce can be made in advance and kept in a sealed container in the fridge for about 2 weeks. It also freezes well if you want to keep it for longer or if you have leftover sauce.
Before serving, reheat in the microwave until a pourable consistency is reached.

    This post is making me smile. And I learned something too! I have some of the mild anxieties that you describe (I think any sensible person would really, otherwise we would go around poisoning and under seasoning!). I have never been tempted to make a potential caramel bomb in my kitchen but appreciate the luxury and simple pleasure of a homemade sauce such as this. Thanks for being brave and going against your mother’s advice. Great images too, Jeanne. 🙂

    Good for you for getting over your caramel fear. I imagine having a brush with cancer puts a lot of things in perspective and gives you a fresh look on life. This sundae looks amazing. Who could resist it? I’m off to share it now.

    I’ve always feared salted caramel – I only got over it by making it with Stephanie of Boutique Aromatique in a class. I seriously was always afraid of it even after watching Bitchin Kitchen and only like literally *just* got over my fear. By “got over” I mean I an only more likely to try it not – I’m not saying I will be making it this weekend. Love your recipe too!

    In the meantime that ice cream looks AMAZING!

    OMG that looks totally amazing! I know what you mean about the fear though, I only got over my deep frying phobia when I bought a proper mini deep fryer that I rationalised would not burst into flames so long as I supervised it.

    This caramel looks incredible and such a gorgeous deep colour (perfect for autumn!). I need caramel practice badly as I was trying to make some recently and mainly wrecked saucepans in the process.

    I am currently addicted to anything salted caramel and seeing this made me almost lick my screen (however I did resist! honest!)

    I am forever burning myself on things I take out of the oven, forgetting they stay hot for sometime, however I might just attempt this!

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
