What could be a more perfect ending to a milky summertime meal than Peach Cobbler. Savor the flavors of summer with sliced fresh peaches cooking away with butter and spices. The tanginess of the lemon juice paired with the sweetness of the peaches is perfectly balanced with the crisp topping. To make it extra delicious add a nice serving of fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream this truly makes it the perfect way to end a summer night.

Bordelaise sauce is a classic French sauce named after the Bordeaux region of France, which is famous for its wine. The sauce is made with dry red wine, bone marrow (or a kosher stock cube), margarine, shallots and sauce demi-glace.

Traditionally, bordelaise sauce is served with grilled beef or steak, though it can also be served with other meats that pair well with red wine demi-glace based sauces.

Flan is a great dessert dish that you can enjoy anywhere, whether you’re aboard a luxury cruise or resting indoors. This French Apple Flan recipe is sure to give you a taste of excellence and wonder.

Tandoori chicken as a dish originated in the Punjab before the independence of India. In the late 1940s, tandoori chicken was popularized at Moti Mahal in the locality of Daryaganj in New Delhi by Kundan Lal Jaggi and Kundan Lal Gujral, who were Punjabi Hindus as well as the founders of the Moti Mahal restaurant. Mokha Singh had founded the restaurant in the Peshawar area of British India, which is now a part of neighboring Pakistan.

Beef Provençale or Daube is a classic Provençal stew made with inexpensive beef braised in wine, vegetables, garlic, and herbes de Provence, and traditionally cooked in a daubière, a braising pan. A traditional daubière is a terracotta pot that resembles a pitcher, with a concave lid.

My family moved from Germany to Holland in 1670 then onward to the U.K. around 1850/60.

During their time in Holland, they absorbed many of the dietary customs of the Netherlands. One of these was the Boterkoek. My aunt Henrietta (Yetta) would often bring round one of these delicious cakes for our family to indulge in.

This is my take on the famous “Blum’s Coffee Toffee Pie”.
I first made this pie onboard the Crown Odyssey in 2000. As you can see there are quite a few rest periods between stages. Onboard ships and nowadays on our riverboats, time isn’t on our side. Between these stages I ran the pie down to the massive ice cream freezer and placed them (fully covered) under the huge freezer units.

Back in the late 1800s Europeans and Americans were enjoying imported tropical fruit like pineapples and bananas, but the coconut hadn’t yet taken off. This was mostly because they were hard to transport without spoiling, and because people didn’t know what to do with them once they had them in their kitchens.
