thetadoctor: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson cocktails

Sherlock
Ingredients:
1 oz. Top Shelf Vodka (We’re talking about Sherlock. Try Grey Goose or Belvedere)
1 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice
1/2 oz Blue Curacao 

Directions: Use a chilled stemmed glass. This drink would look smooth in a Martini Glass. Pour the ingredients in the glass in order. When you add the Blue Curacao, you’ll notice the color smoke into purple. Ah, Science. Optional Cherry Garnish, but don’t over do it. The body is just transport.

The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!

John Watson
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Light Rum
1/2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Gin
1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Triple Sec
Orange Juice
Orange Wheel

Directions: The Glass doesn’t matter too much, you’re not trying to show off. Try a stein type shown here, or a Collins Glass. Shake the alcoholic ingredients with ice and strain into the glass. Fill with Orange Juice. You’re allowed to feel fancy, Float some Grand Marnier if you’d like. Add Orange Wheel. The idea is to let them think that you’re innocent, then you can unexpectedly kick them in the face. 

Now people will definitely talk.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box - Belle Classic Tea

Since moving to the UK several years ago the amount of tea I drink on a daily basis has drastically increased. I can only imagine this tea increase will eventually allow me to genuinely become British, as is only the way one gains citizenship. Professor Hershel Layton, along with other intelligent folk such as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, understand the importance of a good cup of tea. While not a traditional English Breakfast or Darjeeling, Layton’s favourite tea is a cup of Belle Classic, a bitter drink comprised of Oasis Leaf, Brisk Berry and Belle Tart Seed. Tea, like a puzzle, is a delicate process that requires both time and patience.

My Kind of Recipes : 2 Ingredient Soufflé

mynameislisablog:

I have a complete love/hate relationship when it comes to cooking, you see, I love creating things and trying new foods and the accomplishment once you’ve finished, but I hate cooking, generally… Everything takes so long and you have to be good at timing for all the different ingredients blah blah blah etc etc and I get a bit bored whilst doing it. And, I can never stick to a recipe as it should be. I have a cupboard full of spices and herbs and can never resist just adding a little something extra to it (makes me feel like a real chef) and I admit, it doesn’t always work, especially when I can’t be bothered to be precise with my amounts or range of ingredients.

Therefore, I am endeavouring to find easy yet impactful recipes that will keep my full attention, so I can successfully create something other than a massive mess in the kitchen.

In comes - Maple Soufflé’s.

Serves 2:

Ingredients:

1 Egg

40ml Maple Syrup

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 205 degrees celsius. Have two bowls ready, one for the egg yolk and one for the egg white. Separate the egg white and yolk into said bowls. Into the egg yolk add your 40ml of maple syrup and mix until fully combined. Leave it to one side.

Whisk the egg white until you can form stiff peaks, then, fold the yolk and syrup mixture into the egg white. Pour into two ramekin bowls and place in the oven, now immediately turn the oven down to 190 degrees celsius and leave to cook for 10 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown on top.

Ta Dah!

Too easy, right? 

Now we have created something really special in next to no time, like I said, this is my kind of cooking. Just remember to serve immediately as they do not stay puffed and pretty for very long, at all.

Stay tuned for more super simple recipes.
