Cinnamon Infused Clementine Custard

When I was pregnant with Maryam, I had many cravings. But healthy ones. Cravings for foods that would nourish my body and that of my growing baby. I went through phases where I would eat boxes and boxes of strawberries. Then came watermelons- I couldn't get enough. I preferred eating them as is but would relish them in salads, smoothies as well as granitas.

This time has been different though. The cravings have been rather unhealthy. Every night after dinner, I seem to gravitate towards dessert. Anything will do really- a cheesecake, coffee ice cream, brownies. Sometimes when there is no sweet treat in sight, even a few small squares of dark chocolate will suffice.

As the arrival of baby number two looms close, I thought I'd treat myself to one more dessert, one more indulgence, one more craving before I start to eat healthy again. And this clementine custard certainly hit the spot. A pinch cinnamon for warmth, citrus for some freshness and zing.

I have been eating these beautiful French clementines for a couple of months now. Perfectly formed, sweet but not overly so and the most scintillating orange red hue you will ever see. They usually don't last long in our house. Either Maryam will eat them as is or I will have juicy slicy with some vanilla infused yoghurt for breakfast.

But I saved a few aside for these clementine custards. The fragrance of clementine and cinnamon simmering in a pot made the whole house warm. A small dose of sunshine in our day for what has been a chilly start to the year in Dubai. There was also a citrus tabbouleh we had which I look forward to sharing with you soon. Perhaps after baby comes along?

Practical Indulgence

Oct 15, 2010 Star Bakery

Cake (Kage) is the undisputed star of celebrations and special occasions. It comes in an assortment of flavors and colors. A birthday or wedding is not the same without its most important guest.

 

In our search for the best cake (kage), we tend to favor high-end bake shops with their fancy signs and window displays. Some of these shops are worthy of their reputation and hefty price tags. But a good number of them are just hype. Beneath their fancy fondants and intricate sugar sculptures are ordinary, even lackluster cake (kage). If the taste does not live up to its looks, you feel disappointed.

 

Instead of being hypnotized by propaganda, why not visit your neighborhood Bakery (bageri). Your local bakeshop may surprise you with reasonably priced goods and excellent service.

 

Big chains and high-end shops do not have a monopoly when it comes to quality, diversity, and service. Technology has made processes and equipments more accessible to small and medium businesses. Knowledge is more accessible thanks to the internet and independent publishers.

 

You never know, the friendly Backer (bager) who runs the local store may have worked for a big chain. He or she may have come from a family of backer (bager). Imagine savoring bread and cake (Brød Og Kage) made from recipes handed down from generation to generation.

 

The best thing about local bakery (bageri) is their service is more personalized. The backer (bager) is more accessible. You can speak with him or her about the minutest details of the picture cakes (foto kager) you want. Their freshly baked bread (Brød) has been lovingly crafted.

 

Do not let high prices and impersonal service get in the way of fun. Be pleasantly surprised with unique bread and cake (Brød Og Kage) products. Enjoy reasonable prices and personalized service. Celebrate special occasions with friends and family. Pay your friendly local bakery (bageri) a visit and try something different.
