Creamy Heart Soup

Image
I actually found Big Hearty Radishes in real life for this recipe! It's a ProSpecieRara find, an organization here in Switzerland promoting rare fruit and vegetable species. And everything they offer up is good...! Outside of CH (that's the shorthand for Switzerland, btw - Confederatio Helvetia), my best guess is to look for heirloom varieties at Farmer's Markets. Or just add a heck of a lot of small, regular radishes to make up the difference. :) I saw that other people have already made recipes for this soup. Some of them look really cool, like the dragonfruit based ones (standing in for voltfruit). But I can't imagine they'd taste very good at all. :( So my soup is almost entirely roasted radishes, with beets for colour (optional! Already pinkish without!), with radish green dumplings to garnish. It doesn't reflect the ingredient list of the in-game recipe (apart from the radishes, which feature heavily!), but I don't mind. I really wanted to ma...

(Naughty) Lon Lon Milk

Image
While I was very pleased to have produced my very own vintage of proper Chateau Romani yesterday, wonderful partner of mine couldn't help but point out how it would be simpler AND tastier to "just add Licor 43 to milk". Oh. I hadn't thought of that. But rather than replace my Chateau Romani recipe, I decided that I'd just make an addendum of sorts and give a recipe for Lon Lon Milk itself... naughty Lon Lon Milk. (I could say all sorts of things right now that DeviantArtists have already captured better, so I'll leave it at that... Drink this before a lovely roll in the hay! Malon and ranch sadly not included). Lon Lon Milk.... the not so virgin type Ingredients: Lovely farm fresh milk (or whatever's going at the supermarket!) Licor 43 Also, you'll need a bottle and a lovely sticker from RedBubble to make it authentic . Won't taste as good otherwise, I promise. Method: Add milk.  Add copious quantity of Licor43.  Shake....

Chateau Romani Milk Liqueur

Image
Ever since I heard of "Chateau Romani", or for that matter "Lon Lon Milk", I've needed it in my life. But without vineyards, how could Cremia (Malon) and Romani produce a fine vintage? Well, I can only assume that the noxious Ingo or maybe Malon's father Talon had some stash of hooch kicking around on the ranch, and mixed with a little Lon Lon Milk, the first vintage of Chateau Romani was created. Or They somehow left some secret knowledge behind, in between cow heists. Who knows. What you and I need to know, however, is simply two-fold: how to make the milk liqueur, and how to bottle it. First: the Chateau Romani recipe ! Chateau Romani Milk Liqueur Ingredients: Equal parts vodka , fresh milk (>2%, and not UHT), and white sugar . Plus a half* lemon (for juice and a little bit of lemon zest to add flavour) *half a lemon to about 4 cups / 1L of combined vodka + milk: I used about a quarter here. And next time I'm going to try ...

Salmon Meuniere

Image
Ah yes, a classic French sauce and fish-cooking style served up with salmon. Something that Genli and the Rito kids really like, or so I'm told! I definitely had already made the dish before it was requested, which lead to some in-game awkwardness. Ah well. In this recipe, you'll see that the in-game recipe isn't a heck of a lot different than the real-world one (and in fact you could make it with just the in-game ingredients, if you wanted!). (Hearty) Salmon Meuniere Ingredients (in game): Tabantha Wheat Goat Butter Hearty Salmon Ingredients (real life): Flour Butter, or mix of butter and oil (i.e. 40g butter plus 2 Tbsp sunflower oil) Salt Parsley, flat-leaved and finely chopped (we used dill - my partner is nuts for it!) Lemon zest and juice (from half a lemon) Salmon filet or steak Method: After rinsing and patting your salmon filet dry, coat it with flour (put about 3 Tbsp of flour onto plate, lay salmon on top of it, flip to coat). N...
