The Cook The Chef - Episode 6
In this week’s episode, our Fig infatuated Cook & Chef are kept fully supplied with fruit after Simon finds out how to get his hands on figs all year round. Meanwhile Maggie drops in on a traditional Italian cheese maker who shares the time-honoured practice of preparing Fior de Latte Mozzarella.
Armed with figs in all their forms, Simon uses Dried Figlettes and combines them with his all time favourite ingredient, coffee to make an out of this world Turkish Fig Bread.
Still on the fig theme, Simon continues to insist he doesn’t have a sweet tooth. Nevertheless he bakes a Fig Pudding topped with Carob Sauce that’s sweet enough to satisfy the biggest sugar fiend.
Meanwhile Maggie tops off some mouth watering Blue Cheese Tartlets with Figs and then goes all out with a combination of ingredients to emulate a Sicilian Cheese before finally merging the flavour of this “Burrata” cheese with Figs and Honey. To top off her Fig symphony, she finishes the program by showing us how to Preserve Figs that might otherwise end up in the bin.
