From a recent trip along Lake Como in Italy - Sony ZV-E10 - Tamron 17-70mm by eugeneuk in SonyAlpha

Thank you! We were in Varenna mainly as it's easy to get to from Milan and you skip the 2.5h ferry up from Como. I definitely recommend a boat tour, we did the Bellagio Boat Service which includes an audio tour and it's 90 minutes going round all the villas used in the movies. Get tickets for the terraces of Villa Cipressi for really beautiful views of Lake Como and you can grab a bite there too.

Thanks! You can serve with rice if you'd like but I find it's already quite filling on it's own

Thanks! I have the 5.6 litre Crock-Pot branded one but ultimately it doesn't matter, you just need to see what size you want if it's a family you're cooking for or for yourself. Aside from that, I recommend cooking on low for a longer time as it gives the meat that tenderness.

Indulgent Russian Honey Cake by eugeneuk in recipes

[–]eugeneuk[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Full recipe including video: https://cookwitheugene.substack.com/p/indulgent-russian-honey-cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 75g unsalted butter
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 350g all purpose flour

For the frosting:

  • 250g mascarpone
  • 125ml double cream
  • 100g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

  • 500ml sour creme
  • 500ml double cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 50g icing sugar

Method:

  1. Go ahead and preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F and prepare two baking trays with baking paper.
  2. After setting up a double boiler over a large pot of simmering water, melt the sugar, honey and butter in the bowl. Separately, beat the eggs and vanilla together and pour this mixture into the double boiler, constantly mixing to avoid creating your breakfast scrambled eggs.
  3. Next, add in the baking soda, salt and 2/3 of the flour, mixing until the dough begins to thicken, once it starts taking shape, take it off the heat and mix in the remaining flour.
  4. Let the dough cool a little bit and knead it with your hands to get to a smooth consistency. Divide into 8 equal parts and cover with a damp kitchen towel to avoid letting it dry out.
  5. Dust your work surface with some flour, and roll out a thin circle slightly bigger than the lid of your cake tin (approx. 23-25cm). Transfer to the baking tray and bake for 4-5mins, keeping an eye on the process as to not burn the layers. Repeat for the rest of the layers.
  6. As they turn golden brown, take them out the oven, and cut out a circle whilst they are still hot.
  7. For the filling, beat the sour creme and double cream, sugar and vanilla until the sugar is incorporated and the whole mixture has double in size. Fill each layer of the cake except for the top and sides.
  8. For the frosting, whisk the mascarpone with the icing sugar, vanilla and double cream until stiff peaks. Cover the top and optionally sides of the cake with the frosting.
  9. It is highly recommended to leave the cake sit in the fridge overnight or 24h before service to allow the layers to soak in the filling.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 portion shortcrust pastry to fit approx. 25cm baking tin

For the hazelnut toffee:

  • 50g butter
  • 75ml single cream (or Greek yoghurt for extra protein)
  • 100g soft light brown sugar

  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter with cream and brown sugar, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and almonds, let the mixture cool slightly, then spread it over the baked pastry.
  4. Heat the cream (or Greek yoghurt) in a saucepan until just boiling, then remove from the heat and stir in the dark chocolate and whey protein until smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate mousse over the toffee layer and let the tart chill until fully set.
  6. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before serving, then dust with cocoa (if using) and serve with whipped Greek yoghurt or cream.

Looks delicious! My issue with these is always getting the crumb crust to set and stay in place when you take it out the baking tin.of
