   5. With the pan off the heat, return the milk and egg mix to the pan with the remaining milk and mix well.
   6. Return to the stove on a low heat and gently bring the mix up to 80°C, continuously stirring to prevent catching.
   7. Transfer the mix into a bowl, cover the surface with cling film and chill in the fridge.
   8. Once the ice cream mix is fully chilled, churn the mix in an ice cream machine as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

   5. Place the pan on a medium heat and continuously mix until it starts to simmer.
   6. Cook out for a further couple of minutes, whisking to ensure all lumps are mixed through.
   7. Transfer to a bowl, cover the surface with cling film and chill in the fridge.
   8. When the pastry cream is cold transfer to a piping bag and keep in the fridge till ready to serve.

   Pouched Rhubarb:

2. Smoked Gigha Halibut with Soda Bread and Fennel Piccalilli by Paris House

   1:53 pm Comments Off on Smoked Gigha Halibut with Soda Bread and Fennel Piccalilli by Paris House

    

   Prepared and eaten together this dish is sure to impress your family but the individual components are fantastic too. The halibut can be substituted for any smoked fish.
   
    If you fancy a spot of baking with the kids the soda bread is a great place to start. There’s no yeast required and little ones can get involved weighing out the ingredients, rubbing the butter through the flour and watching as the bicarbonate of soda and buttermilk react to create the bubbles which give the bread it’s lift.
   
   Make the soda bread once and we guarantee that you will go back to the recipe again and again.

4. Blue Cheese Puffs with Smoked Paprika and Olives by Paris House

   March 6, 2020 2:08 pm Comments Off on Blue Cheese Puffs with Smoked Paprika and Olives by Paris House

    

   These little finger puffs are uncomplicated, delicious and full of flavour.  Chef Phil Fanning likes to refer to them as posh cheesy wotsits which is very fitting. The richness of the cheese but light pillowy soft texture make them the perfect moreish snack for watching a film!

   If you haven’t got blue cheese, try substituting cheddar or whatever you have to hand. Have fun being creative with this recipe! If you want you can make the batter for these the day before by adding a pinch of xanthum gum to the dough/mixture. Often used in gluten free baking the xanthum gum helps to binds things together more.
