Meme: 5 livros para ler em 2013 18

Meus amores, eu encontrei esse meme no blog: Coca Cola e Cupcake e a linda da Bruna deixou livre para quem tivesse interesse de responder. Então, eu resolvi postar aqui no blog, já que eu achei o meme muito interessante e criativo!

"Meme: 5 livros para ler já que o mundo não acabou."

Nesse meme você tem que citar os 5 livros, que você quer ler este ano, já que o mundo não acabou. Seja por boas resenhas que leu, por indicação de algum amigo, ou simplesmente, porque achou a capa bonita e isso despertou a sua curiosidade. (Eu mudei o título do meme porque eu achei o título original longo demais).

Chocolate dipped pears with pistachio toffee crumbs

 

Pass the matchsticks! I’m several days back from Oz and still crippled with the worst jet lag I’ve had in 20 years of regularly making the interminable Sydney-London journey. Jet lag does, however, have benefits. Pre-dawn espresso-fuelled runs along the beach (to shake myself into the proper time zone) are no bad thing. And during hours of tossing and turning my mind replays the best bits of our trip.  That pretty much means my sleepless nights are spent thinking about food.

Sydney loves a food and drink trend, especially when it comes to coffee. Pour-over and cold-drip is still keeping the caffeine geeks occupied, but the really ubiquitous new coffee thang is piccolo latte.

Technically it’s a ristretto shot, topped with a decent slosh of steamed milk. It’s served in a machiatto glass or dinky 100ml paper cups. (Coffee consumption doesn’t get more serious than at this joint in Marrickville.) Lemon curd tartlets also seem to be everywhere and I can confirm that consuming the two together is a very good way to pass the time.
Fattoush, the gorgeous sumac-redolent Middle Eastern salad (which my brother calls lazy persons tabbouleh as the veg isn’t chopped up so finely) is also incredibly popular, both in restaurants and home cooking. I followed the herd and made a batch for Christmas lunch, which was lovely with our Christmas lamb roasted on a spit.

neeeeeext oh

Radishes, a key ingredient of fattoush, also seem to be the thing in Sydney at the moment, shaved into salads, slathered in butter, roasted or pickled. Pickled matter generally is everywhere, as it is in many UK restaurants. I was very keen to try Cornersmiths, a coffee shop specialising in pickled fruit and veg, but was tragically (for us) closed for the holidays. However, Marrickville did deliver us a terrific and reasonably-priced Vietnamese meal at Phd where we stuffed ourselves with Pho and caramelised pork.

Nearby in Haberfield, home to the best Italian food in Sydney, we queued around the block at Pasticceria Papa for one of their famous ricotta cakes. This is the most completely gorgeous ricotta cake imaginable: a lightly and fluffy ricotta cake enveloped in perfect pastry.

nexxxxxt on

We also had a lovely bite at the stunning Gowings Bar in Sydney’s CBD. After managing to find it. There’s no obvious sign, its website is horrendous, and we had to ask two different people how to find the entrance. (Is this some tragic marketing wheeze?) No surprise that it was almost empty when we lunched there a few days before Christmas despite the crowds in the streets below. It is, however,  an absolutely beautiful space and offers a fantastic menu, featuring  yummy stuff cooked on wood fired rotisseries and ovens. (FYI – go to the gorgeous Art Deco State Theatre in Market Street, through the old milk bar, and up to the bar via the lifts).

One of our nicest discoveries this visit was the Leura Garage in  the Blue Mountains, a restaurant and bar located in a refurbished garage (we ate supper in the spot my mum used to leave her car for a service).

nexxxxtttttt

 

The food is fresh, zingy and locally sourced and a welcome change from standard Blue Mountains fare. We ate several meals here and everything was terrific but my favourite treat was a chocolate dipped fig sprinkled with pistachio nuts. The figs were juicy ripe and with the dark chocolate, didn’t seem like such a naughty pudding.
I’ve had a go at recreating it, using pears instead of out-of-season figs. I’m thinking a little spoon of

Chocolate dipped pears with pistachio toffee crumbs

Chocolate dipped pears with pistachio toffee crumbs
Serves: 4
For the pears

• 4 firm but ripe pears, like Conference
• 1 litre pomegranate juice

For the pistachio toffee

• 100g caster sugar
• 70g butter
• pinch of salt
• 40g roasted shelled pistachios

• 100g dark chocolate

Method

1. Peel the pears leaving the stalk in place. Bring the pomegranate juice to the boil then reduce the heat, lower in the pears, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until just tender. (If you can’t be bothered with pomegranate juice, just make a poaching liquid with 150g caster sugar and 1 litre water).
2. While the pears are poaching, make the toffee. Place the sugar, butter and salt in a heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Stir continuously. Initially the mixture will look like a curdled mess but keep stirring as it bubbles: the butter and sugar will amalgamate and start to caramelise. You need to get it to the hard-crack stage. This took me about 5 minutes. To see if it’s ready, drop a fingernail-sized amount into a glass of water and if it turns hard immediately, it’s ready. Be vigilant – this burns easily.
3. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and then pour on the toffee. It should spread out in a contained way into a lovely glossy puddle. Scatter over the pistachios, gently pressing them into the toffee if necessary. Set aside to cool and harden.
4. When the pears are done, lift them out of the liquid and gently place them on kitchen towel. Pat dry, cool a little and then chill.
5. When the toffee has hardened completely – it should be brittle – break most of into pieces and blitz in a food processor. This makes way more crumb than you need, so set some of the toffee sheet aside to eat on its own or to serve with the pears.
6. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Place the pears on a chopping board. (It might help to trim the bottoms slightly so the fruit stands upright.) Pour the chocolate over the pears so that they are completely covered, then sprinkle over some of the pistachio toffee crumbs.
7. Set the pears aside until the chocolate sets, or chill if you’re in a hurry. Serve with a shard of the pistachio toffee and maybe a dollop of mascarpone, cream or ice cream.

long fat

The official line is, of course, that everyone over the age of 5 should drink semi-skimmed, 1% fat or skimmed milk, in order to reduce their intake of saturated fat. (Full-fat milk is only recommended until the age of 2, while semi-skimmed – but not skimmed or 1% fat – is fine between the ages of 2 and 5. These lowest-fat versions don’t contain enough calories or, tellingly, the “essential vitamins” young children need.)

This advice couldn’t be clearer, and yet I’m seeing more and more evidence from well-regarded sources suggesting it’s not that simple. Award-winning investigative food writer Joanna Blythman is one who believes we’ve got it all wrong. She points out that full-fat milk is not actually a high-fat food.
“Furthermore, skimmed and semi-skimmed cows’ milk is also less nutritious than whole milk. That’s because the cream contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K – important, among other things, for strengthening immunity to infections, neutralising the effects of damaging free radicals and keeping bones healthy,” she says.
Nutritionist Zoe Harcombe agrees, arguing that saturated fats found in whole foods are “nutritional gold mines”.
“In simple terms, fats are chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached. We eat fat, it is digested and enters the bloodstream where it transports the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K round the body. This is partly why I find the idea of removing fat from natural food ludicrous. Take full-fat milk – this contains all four fat-soluble vitamins. If you take out the fat, you remove the delivery system,” she says.
Other full-fat dairy advocates argue that not all saturated fats are the same; some are good and some are bad. Further, they argue they don’t clog our arteries and shoot straight to our bellies in the way that most of us are led to believe. And if you think this view is confined to a few isolated nutritional zealots, it’s not. Scientists have also begun to question the prevailing view that ordering a skinny instead of a full-fat latte is being kind to our waistline.
