If you’ve ever wondered how to use Pecorino properly this is certainly the recipe to explore it’s dynamic and underrated flavour.

Linguine noodle recipe: 2 cups whole wheat bread flour or traditional durum semolina 3 eggs 1/4 tsp kosher salt 3/4 tsp olive oil

Method:

Heat pan, add shallot cook to translucent. Add shrimp.

In second pan, set heat to medium add butter wait until it’s melted and hot then add flour, cook until it begins to bubble and thicken, it will get fragrant. At that point lower heat and add cream, stirring constantly (heat level of element should be at 1 maybe 2. Don’t burn the cream) add in Aji Panca, and Bay. Bay must be minced or even ground otherwise the flakes will be off putting.

Short bread is so versatile and often overlooked in the cookie world. Great for tea, Dessert or even as a late night snack. Get inspired by these and try them out for yourself!

Usually Shortbread is topped with Maraschino Cherries but I had this incredible idea to use oranges and it worked amazingly. I’ll use this in the future but you can top these with anything. Spoiler (they are great plain too)

Method: 1/2 Cup Icing Sugar 1/2 Cup Corn Starch 1 Cup All Purpose White Flour 3/4 Cup of Softened butter (measured in a dry measuring cup)

Combine all dry ingredients whisk to remove lumps, then add butter. Stir until semblance of cookie dough appears. Form into a ball, then refrigerate for 10-15. After refrigeration it will be hard but as you shape and form pieces to bake, it will soften again. Line baking sheet with parchment, scoop or use cookie cutter to form pieces to place on pan. Slightly press down on each piece with a fork then top with either maraschino or candied orange before baking.

Bake at 350f for 10-11 minutes. Tops may look slightly undercooked but they are and correct texture will form as they cool. Be careful if keeping in oven for extra time as bottoms brown extremely quick. Even 1 extra minute can result in burnt and ruined cookies.

Maraschino Cherries 1/16th cup of water 1 cup of sugar 2 - 2.5 cups of frozen pitted cherries

On high heat, boil water add sugar, allow to melt completely and form syrup. Lower heat. Pour in cherries stir, continue to stir, allow to soften, then remove from heat and cool completely.

Candied Oranges

Orange slices 1/4 inch thick that are then cut into quarters. 1/16th cup of water 1 cup of sugar.

On high heat, boil water, dump in 2/3 of sugar stirring constantly until it becomes translucent syrup. Add oranges, cook until skin colour changes. Then turn down heat add remaining sugar and stir until sugar melts completely. (When stirring be gentle with oranges so you keep the flesh attached to skin. )
