Crystalized rosemary sprigs look so pretty when used as a garnish on cakes, cupcakes and desserts. .
Brush a little raw egg white over sprigs of fresh rosemary, sprinkle over caster sugar and let dry for a couple of hours. Use the same method with mint leaves, rose petals, red currants and grapes. .
Not everyone likes using raw egg white so instead, use dried egg white powder and reconstitute with water. .

The ingredient pick for this month’s challenge is ROSEMARY and this Chocolate Tart with Hazelnuts, Rosemary and Orange is my recipe for this month’s #foodandtoolsUseYourCookbookClub
.
.
Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs and thankfully grows well in our garden. I’ve not paired rosemary with chocolate before and was eager to make this recipe from the cookbook “SWEET” by @ottolenghi @helen_goh_bakes. In fact, there are so many more recipes I want to make from this gorgeous cookbook. .
.
.
.
A hazelnut brittle is sprinkled over the base of a sweet pre-baked shortcrust pastry base. Then a chocolate filling infused with rosemary and orange is spread over the nut brittle. The filled tart is then placed into the oven for a brief baking time. Once cooled, the chocolate tart is dusted with cocoa powder and garnished with crystallized rosemary sprigs which I think look really lovely. .
.
This divine chocolate tart did not disappoint and the pungent flavour of rosemary along with the orange, mellowed in the richness of the dark chocolate filling that tasted quit delicious. .
.
I choose to make individual tarts rather than a larger one... nothing like having a whole chocolate tart to yourself, but a little goes along way. .
.
.
If your joining this month’s challenge, look forward to seeing what recipe you make using ROSEMARY. .

In my haste and when I should have known better but continued anyway... the yoghurt curdled. But with all the mention of food waste I certainly wasn’t about to start all over again.
.
.
This Pea and New Potato Curry recipe was from the @bbcgoodfood 2019 food calendar and the seasonal dish for April. .
.
Although the recipe didn’t include these instructions, mixing a little flour into the yoghurt before cooking would have helped prevent curdling. Or, adding the yoghurt at the end of cooking and gently reheating without boiling would have been a better idea. The vegetable dish was still tasty though ... but the look could have been better. .
.
Do you have any tips to prevent yoghurt from curdling while cooking?

The ingredient pick for May’s #foodandtoolsUseYourCookbookClub is ROSEMARY. .
.
This aromatic herb is a member of the mint-family and in days of old, used as a cure for ailments of the nervous system. Today there are so many delicious recipes with rosemary so it shouldn’t be difficult to find a recipe. You might already have some rosemary growing in your garden, I find it’s one of the easier herbs to grow. .
Look forward to seeing your savory or sweet recipe with rosemary.
.
.
If joining this month’s challenge or need a recap, see the guidelines below. .
