Remarks
Once the gratin is in the oven, I recommend that you set aside the cooking milk, discarding the croutes, garlic and sage, for use later in another recipe, such as a béchamel sauce.
If you don't have any Parmesan croutes, add 50g of grated Parmesan to the potato and cauliflower mixture in step 9.
If you don't have any Parmesan croutes, add 50g of grated Parmesan to the potato and cauliflower mixture in step 9.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.

Passion fruit jellies
Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible . July 4th 2018349 K4 2 hours 30 min.
Fruit coulis (fruit purée)
Contrary to what people usually think, coulis is not just a simple fruit purée with sugar. Of course, this is the general principle, but it's possible to make something much better and more refined.

Preserved tomatoes
Softer than dried tomatoes, they can be used as a kind of chutney in pasta dishes for instance, or simply served to accompany an aperitif. February 21th 2011359 K4.8 5 hours 6 min.
How to glaze a tart
Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs below) and also protects it from the air and thus from oxidation and browning. It's a quite simple technique that you can easily apply to give to your desserts a professional look. This is how you do it. February 15th 2016479 K4.4 7 min.
How to butter a dish or a mould easily
Often when making gratins, crumbles or other oven-cooked dishes, you will need to butter the dish or mould. To butter (or grease) means to rub inside the mould with a knob of butter to prevent the mixture sticking too much. Instead of putting a knob of butter in the dish and wiping with paper, here is a smart and quicker way. February 21th 2011155 K4.1 1 min.
