Roasted Figs with Pomegranate Molasses and Orange Zest Serves Four ROASTED FIGS WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES AND ORANGE ZEST SERVES FOUR I can’t emphasize enough how crucial it is to choose good, sweet, squidgy figs, no 3 tbsp pomegranate matter what you do with them. It makes all the difference. These figs are extremely molasses simple to prepare but have a magnificent deep, rich flavor that surprises me every 1 tbsp lemon juice time I make them. 3 tbsp dark muscovado sugar 4 thyme sprigs, 2 whole and 2 with their leaves picked Place the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, 1 orange, rind shaved in 2 whole thyme sprigs, 1 tablespoon water, and the orange rind strip in a 1 long strip from half, zest large bowl with a pinch of salt. Mix well to dissolve the sugar and then stir grated from the other half in the figs. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. 8 ripe figs, cut in half lengthwise (14 oz/400 g) Place the mascarpone, yogurt, and confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl ½ cup/100 g mascarpone and whisk until smooth. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use. ½ cup/100 g Greek yogurt 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar Preheat the boiler. Remove the figs from the bowl (keeping the marinade) salt and arrange them snugly, cut side up, in a shallow baking dish 8 inches/ 20 cm in diameter. Sprinkle the figs with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and place under the hot broiler. Don’t put them too close to the heat source or they will burn. Broil for 10 minutes, until the sugar has caramelized and the figs have softened. Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 to 4 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by half and has a consistency of runny honey. Transfer the hot figs to serving plates and spoon any syrup left over in the baking sheet over the top. Drizzle the sauce reduction over the figs, then sprinkle with the picked thyme leaves. Place a spoonful of the yogurt cream on top or alongside the figs, sprinkle with the orange zest, and serve. SWEETENED 301 Otto_9780449015674_xp_012_r1.indd 301 7/23/14 11:11 AM.

Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China. At present, there are some good researches on the translation of the names of Sichuan cuisine. This paper investigates ten Chinese restaurants in Britain and the United States, and two restaurants in Switzerland. It analyzes the common translation methods of Sichuan cuisine, and then comes to the conclusion that transliteration plus free translation is the best way to translate Sichuan cuisine, and the translation method of dish names with high differentiation and easy memory is used, which is convenient for Chinese dishes to go out in the context of globe business.

This island, though less beautiful in its localities than Grenada, Trinidad, and others, has many claims to our admiration ; and it is here that voyagers from Britain, are generally first greeted by the sight of creoles, palm trees, and the luxuriant vegetation of the tropics. Carlisle Bay is not comparable to the Gulf of Paria, nor is Bridgetown any thing like Port of Spain .; but in sailing into the former, many pleasing objects attract the attention ; and the traveller through the island, which perhaps I ought to state is about twenty miles in length, and fourteen in breadth, may be pleased with a variety of picturesque scenes.

    Persian Halloumi (V) Halloumi is a salty, rubbery cheese that comes from Cyprus. It’s so moreish and flavoursome that it’s been nicknamed ‘vegetarian bacon’! In this recipe it’s coated and fried with ras el hanout, a popular Moroccan spice mix traditionally made from only the finest spices. The pomegranate molasses, tiny barberries, fresh mint and bulgur wheat make for a refreshingly sour-sweet side dish that’s a great contrast to the rich saltiness of the halloumi. You need salt, black pepper, olive oil, sugar. INGREDIENTS FOR 2 250g halloumi 50g bulgar 2 red 20g dried cheese wheat onions barberries 1 tbsp 10g 1 tbsp 1 pomegranate fresh mint ras el hanout lemon molasses Our lovely fruits, herbs & vegetables come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes we put an extra one in, just to make sure you get enough.
