welcome to tallyrand's culinary fare

A website that caters for everyone from the home cook novice to the professional, from the mildly interested to students of the culinary arts.

Besides the plethora of recipes you will find sections on food information, techniques, culinary terms and also the rich history that is cooking.

I make no apologies for dishes that some may see and say, "Oh how retro" or "how 1980's" . . . good food, like a tuxedo never goes out of style. How can a great dish served in the 1980s but created in the 1800s be retro?

The recipes are in an easy to follow format and are designed for printing out. But while cooking, while following the recipes, remember the words of the master chef, Auguste Escoffier, "A recipe no matter how well composed or researched is no substitute for imagination, creativity and flair".

Recipe of the month

This month's featured recipe is for a caramelised apple creme brulee. It differs in many ways from the usual brulee recipes in that

  • it is not served in a ramekin but cooked in a mould and can be removed and served free standing
  • has a base of caramelised apple
  • is cooked on a lot lower temperature
  • does not require a bain marie (water bath)

But for all that, has a smooth, delicate and luxurious texture and flavour. What's more it is so easy to make and cook. It does however require a lot of chilling, and therefore best made the night before.

Try it and I am sure you will find like me it is simply the best brulee there is . . . <click here>
