A pinch of salt, a dash of cinnamon, a glug of soy sauce and a splash of vinegar. When one of these vague terms appears in a recipe, it can feel like you need a key to figure out how much of an ingredient you’re actually supposed to use. After all, where does a pinch end and a dash begin? Have splashes been standardized, or are we supposed to guess what qualifies as a smidge? And what happens if your drizzle is someone else’s dollop? My husband considers himself something of a brownie connoisseur (I’d probably describe it as a chocolate addiction), and he told me these tamarind caramel brownies were the best he’d ever eaten. I’ll let you be the judge of that (since he is blinded by the extreme bias of love), but what is clear is that tamarind’s sharpness takes flight in sweet desserts, its sweetly sour profile offsetting the richness of the caramel in this deeply chocolatey brownie.Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large frying pan on a high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring, for 6–8 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove and set aside. My client, one of the UK's largest independent travel companies...

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until cooked but gooey in the middle. Test with a skewer; there should still be a few moist crumbs on the skewer when inserted into the centre of the brownie, or a very slight smear of brown goo, but you don’t want wet batter. Sprinkle over a large pinch of sea salt while the brownie is still hot from the oven. Become a Readings Member to make your shopping experience even easier. Sign in or sign up for free! It’s like Italian grandmothers,” Moulton said. “You can never really get them to tell you what they’re doing." For a more intimate summer lunch, I shall stand at the kitchen table and chop lemongrass and garlic, spring onions and soft, green spring cabbage, then toss them with fat, wild prawns in a very hot pan. A splash of soy and fish sauce, this is the sort of special dish that always seems better when cooked just for two. The prawns, fat and sweet, are a rare treat. A Splash of Soy may not be a bible to culinary tradition but its vibrant, colourful Asian-western mash-ups would offer great inspiration for chefs considering a pop-up or themed day.Stir the chocolate and butter together after 2 minutes; they should have melted together. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the sugar and salt. After the chocolate has cooled down for 2–3 minutes, add the room-temperature beaten eggs gradually, a little at a time, mixing well in between additions by hand. Fold in the sifted flour, macadamia nuts and espresso powder (or instant coffee and water mixture) until well combined. Standardized measuring tools weren’t manufactured until about a hundred years ago, Kimball noted, so before then, all cooking was done by estimates, memory and intuition. There are few photographs of the food, and they all seem to have been taken from a huge distance. There are lots of pictures of the author. The structure of the book is really a shame because some of the recipes do sound like that would be very flavorful, but there are too many ingredients I can’t possibly find (like kecap manis). Sometimes substitutes are given. What a treat it was to get this book. The picture of the author on the cover, is a breath of fresh air, and the illustrations in the book are mouthwatering invitations to food. Preparing these recipes will be fun, not work! From the first recipe for Tom Yum Bloody Mary to the glossary at the end, the book leaves no stone unturned.
