Valentine's Special: Keeping her wet for more. Here, we have beautiful churro sticks finished with Nutella and icing sugar. With Nutella, you can skip the whole chocolate sauce aspect. What I also love about these is that they are simple to make and easy to cook. It can also be made in advance. The trick for a good shape is to semi or fully-freeze them. Recipe instructions are below. Before you begin: 1. Dress to impress, stay classy, and respect consent. 2. If you don't have the budget, there is no need to go overboard with flowers (it's the thought that counts, amigo). 3. For more tips, check my recipe site. Serves 2 (12 -15 sticks at 20-22 cm (+-) depending on your final nozzle tip and preferred length) Difficulty – Easy Tools: 2x Piping bags (or reusables), 11mm-15mm star tip nozzle for churros, 6mm round tip for Nutella garnish, oil temp thermometer (not necessary but ideal), parchment paper. Recipe: - 17g sugar - 3g sea salt - 48g butter - 188g water - 1 egg - 113g flour - 1 tsp vanilla essence or sugar - 1-2 litter frying oil - Punnet of strawberries + touch sugar and/or seedless raspberry jam & whipped cream - ½ btl champagne (optional) - 3 roses (optional) - Small Jar of Nutella (you won't need all of it) - Sugar + Touch of Cinnamon sugar to coat - Icing sugar for garnish Steps to Sucess: Add water, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla extract in a pot over medium-high heat. Once thoroughly melted and it starts to boil, add flour and whisk in vigorously. Continue cooking dough until it comes away from the pan. Take off the heat, and place the dough in a large bowl. Allow to cool until warm to touch. Add one egg and immediately whisk in until fully incorporated. Place into a piping bag and pipe onto a prepared baking sheet over a tray. Place in the freezer until it's semi-frozen (it starts almost to hold its shape as a stick as you pick it up). Fry at 350°F/176.667°C until golden brown. Once cooked, place over a rack over a tray to allow excess oil to drip off—coat in cinnamon sugar. Garnish with piped Nutella. Serve with strawberries, cream, and your choice of drink and flowers.#churros#dessert#churrodessert#strawberry#whippedcream#valentinesday#forherThe Ketchup Song (Aserejé) - Spanish Version

Chapter 4 How to serve up brunch magic to keep her coming for more. #brunch #waffles #breakfast Here we have two brunch waffle items: The first is served with fried chicken and honey butter. I have never had this combo, and it's divine. I love the savoury, sweet aspect. Taste 9/10. Visuals 8/10. The second is served with vanilla cream, raspberry gel, and basil ice cream. This one was quite interesting and could use some rework. The flavour was still very cool and well-balanced with that raspberry gel. However, the waffle was too dense for this combo, so a lighter and airier waffle would have been better. Taste 8/10. Visuals 7/10 Belgium Style Waffles Serves one gorgeous cupcake and one handsome stud! Difficulty - Easy Tools (and more): - Waffle Machine - Heart of gold - Well ironed shirt - Good attitude Ingredients: - 175g milk - 4g white vinegar - 24g melted butter - 28g maple syrup - 2g sea salt - 1 egg - 125g flour - 2g instant yeast - Maple syrup for garnish - Icing sugar for dusting - Honey butter (optional) Steps to Success: 1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it rest for an hour or until it develops bubbles. (Note: Place the waffle batter in the oven with the light on to expedite the process.) 2. Preheat the waffle machine and spray with non-stick oil. Cook until golden brown and serve with maple syrup and honey butter. Notes: I would go with a 50/50 split for honey butter, which results in a mild flavour without being overly sweet. To make neat quenelles, leave Honey Butter outside the fridge for 30 to 60 min before serving (depending on your room temperature).

Episode 38 | How to slide into her DMS correctly. #pasta #tortellini #fondantcake #chocolate #dinner #foodie What is the main plate? Ricotta-filled tortellini, pan-seared scallops, parmesan and goat cheese foam, basil, thyme, and chive cream emulsion with basil oil. What's for dessert? Liquid centre chocolate fondant with creme anglais, and carmilised whtie chcolate and frangelico ice cream. This recipe has two options: You can go either for ramekins or mini metal rings, 7cm in diameter and 4.5cm high. Option 1 (fancy): Allows a free-standing pudding without the ramekin dish. To achieve this perfectly, you must test 1 to achieve perfect cooking time without bursting when released. Thus, the recipe is best for 4 with two backups. For optimal releasing, I suggest using cacao nibs that you ground coarsely, like coffee, instead of cacao powder (which is much finer). Option 2: Allows you to achieve 6-8 portions without too much stress on the burst factor. Who's it for? It could serve 4-6 people, including your future date and perhaps her closest friends, for an ultimate foursome. The main plate is technical and could be skipped for the dessert, which is the other option. The dessert is easy to make on that note.

Episode 37 | Keeping her wet for more. #mango #stickyrice #deliciousfood #feedme Mango sticky rice infused with panda leaves is served with rice coconut cream infused with vanilla, fresh mango slices, lime zest, and coconut and passionfruit ice cream. Taste 8/10 Visuals 7/10 Note: I have yet to add the remaining ingredients and some components that didn't make it here. This resulted from testing and thus needs a proper review later this week. Why? The newer version will be very cool for an elevated date night or party dinner dessert, similar to a bubble tea format except eating instead of drinking. On that note, please look out midweek for the improved version. That said, the simplified version here is perfect. It infuses panda leaves, vanilla, white chocolate, and fresh mango. Serves 4 (plus an extra serving) Difficulty - Easy Sticky Rice - 225g of sticky rice - Pinch of salt Coconut Cream Mixture for Rice - 240g coconut cream - One pandan leaf, knotted - 115g sugar - 35g white chocolate milk - One vanilla pod - Pinch of salt Coconut Cream Sauce - 90g coconut cream - 45g sugar - 5g rice flour - Pinch of salt

Episode 36 | Date night dinner to keep her wet for more. #beef #cooking #foodie #yummy Braised beef shoulder (chuck) in a rich red wine sauce. Served here with potato puree with a touch of manchego cheese, sauteed asparagus, parsley oil and a glass of merlot. We also have a simple strawberry tart with raspberry jam, vanilla white chocolate cream, fresh strawberries, and raspberries, served with vanilla white chocolate ice cream and a glass of Moscato. Before you begin: 1. Easy to make, requires preparation and patience. 2. Everything can be made in advance and served on the spot. 3. Braise needs at least in the oven for 4 hours, so it's incredibly tender. 4. The recipe also serves a tart, which is optional. How many portions? It makes four portions, and the tart makes two backups (for plating practice and in case one of the tart shells cracks). Who should I serve this to? Your girl's future parents-in-law. Make this a slam dunk, son. Need Guidance? Here to help, send me your questions ideally three days before, not 30 minutes before plating. Potato purée - 450g mashing potatoes - 120g unsalted butter - 100g double cream - 50g milk - 125g manchego cheese (optional) 1. Peel and quarter the potatoes, making sure the pieces are all roughly the same size for even cooking. 2. In a medium pot, add cold water and season well the water with salt. Bring to a boil, then boil to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft. 3. Drain and leave to dry for a few minutes to let the steam off. Whilst still hot, push the potatoes through a fine sieve. 4. Heat cream and milk in a pan over medium heat, then fold the cream mixture into the mash. Add your butter and finely grated machengo cheese. Stir quickly to form a smooth purée, and return to the heat if needed. 5. Be careful not to overheat to avoid splitting the puree. Season with salt and serve immediately. How do I make her come? a) Respect consent b) Slow and steady wins the race c) Eat with pleasure d) Practice makes perfect
