  • Pelargonium Recipes from the Herb Society of America
    Selected Rose-Scented Pelargonium Recipes from The Herb Society of America CHOCOLATE ROSE-SCENTED SOUFFLÉ Originally I tried preparing this recipe with rose water, but the flavor was not strong enough. Rose syrup is good in this recipe, however cooking down fresh organic rose petals takes longer than the following simple syrup. By all means, try rose syrup if you have some on hand. To make rose geranium syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar and about 10 or 12 rose geranium leaves in a small saucepan, bruising the leaves against the side of the pan with a spoon. Place over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Remove the leaves and squeeze them into the syrup to extract their flavor. This syrup can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or frozen for up to 1 year. You can make other herb-flavored syrups in the same manner. Mint-scented geranium, orange mint, peppermint, spearmint, or anise hyssop would be good in this recipe; use about five 4- or 5-inch sprigs in place of the geranium leaves. Serves 6 to 8 ½ cup half-and-half cream 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces ¼ cup sugar 2 pinches salt 5 extra-large eggs, separated ¼ cup rose or rose geranium syrup Whipping cream Organic rose geranium flowers, rose petals or candied rose petals Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Generously butter six 1-cup ramekins or custard cups and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

  • Meet Your Mixologist Simon Ford | Société Perrier
    Meet Your Mixologist: Simon Ford | Société Perrier Bartender Simon Ford knows how to sling spirits. Hailing originally from London, Ford, like many of his compatriots, spent his early years making the rounds before his bar responsibilities mandated it. “I was a college dropout. I really had no choice,” he explained over coffee during his visit to the recent Portland (Oregon) Cocktail Week. “I was studying economics, and did one year of that, and I really didn’t like it. I decided to travel to Eastern Europe, the Berlin Wall and such, and when I came back, there really wasn’t much to do. So I got a job at a wine shop.” “It wasn’t much, twenty hours a week. I moved up from assistant manager to manager and so on. It was fine wines and overseas spirits, and I remember buying my first bottle of cachaça and making caipirinhas because it came with a muddler. Distributors gave us bottles and taught us about the spirits we were selling, and information that we would learn so we could recommend based on our own tastes. But I wasn’t really into cocktails until then.” Winning awards while securing his Wine and Spirits Education Certificate, Ford was ultimately offered the position as International Ambassador for Seagram’s, where he helped to bring Plymouth Gin to the masses. “It was back in the 80s, and they were spending a lot of time and money focusing on bartenders,” he says. “I met all these great people who are considered legends in the industry like Dick Bradsell, Tony Conigliaro.
