Crème Brulèe
A PINCH OF SALT
Ingredients: • 6 eggs • 500ml normal cream (pure or thickened) • 200g caster sugar (only caster sugar. Do not use brown or white sugar) • 2 vanilla beans • Hot water for Bain Marie
with Beni N’kololo and Chef Daniel
Crème Brule literally means burnt cream and has been a French favourite for dessert since first appearing in a cook book by Francois Massialot in 1691. The original recipe is not far off what the modern day Crème Brulee looks like.
Chef Daniel and Beni N’kololo
Chef Daniel’s next guest is the 26-year-old French winger for the Central Coast Mariner’s, Beni N’kololo, who played a few seasons in the French A League before coming over to Australia for his first overseas A league team. He scored a goal in his first game for the Mariners and says he loves it here and it feels like home.
So, hopefully we get to keep this talented and all round nice young man here for a few more seasons. On hearing the correct French pronunciation however, it sounds more like Crembul. The ingredients also lend themselves to the base of how you make custard and ice cream. Tina Wake
