The first post featured the cups, the pots and decanters.

And then the plates, the bowls and the placemats

And lastly, we kept the best for last, the table accessories

I saw this the other day at Tavola in Shuwaikh and forgot to take a picture and was too busy to buy! But why buy it? Because why not?

And I’m a sucker for nicely designed kitchen gadgets…

The Eton mess

Since I still had many meringues left from my previous order and my mother wanted a dessert to take to her friend’s, I made something I always wanted to make, the Eton mess.

All you need:

  • A trifle or glass bowl
  • a packet of strawberries, thinly sliced
  • meringues, crushed, enough to cover the bottom of the bowl
  • 1 cup cream, whipped and sweetened with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean

Arrange the crushed meringues at the bottom of the bowl and then scatter the thinly sliced strawberry on top.

Spoon the whipped cream and swirl for an effect. Lastly, arrange whole meringues to decorate.

My mother also melted some chocolate and swirled the melted chocolate on top. She did this while I was already out so I didn’t take a picture of the final look. She said it looked beautiful, so I trust her on that.

For all you out there with small kitchens or just don’t feel like cleaning too many dishes, here’s the perfect item for you.

The portion:

The portion measures dry ingredients in half teaspoon, teaspoon, tablespoon and 2 tablespoons.

The handle also measures wet ingredients up to 1/4 cup.

And when you’re done measuring, you can stir! A perfect all-in-one kitchen gadget.

Vanilla seed speckled chocolate chip ice cream anyone?

I received a special order for jars of meringues this week so I had tons of egg yolks leftover. My mother ingeniously thought of using the egg yolks to make custard. She used seeds from vanilla beans she got from a trip to Sri Lanka. When it cooled, the custard was still a little runny and I assumed she didn’t cook it long enough to thicken. I asked her if she minded I make ice cream out of it.

So I went ahead and brought the ice cream machine out and poured the custard in. When the ice cream was almost ready, I grabbed the already opened chocolate chip bag, which I was using for the meringues, and threw in the rest of the chocolate chips in.

And here’s the end result.

Beautifully vanilla seed speckled chocolate chip custard-base ice cream!

Oh and I still have tons of eggs yolks left, we want to give another flavor a try.
