History in Taberna? I follow that one, and Tasting History. I find it very interesting to dig through food history. Sometimes there are gems hidden in the past. That's how I found the best recipe for lemonade, for example. Nothing modern comes close, because they forget that they can add a few oranges to balance the acid

    It's some of the best pasta I've ever had, up there with authentic carbonara and amatriciana. I should have cooked the sauce without a lid to thicken it more, but otherwise it went very well. I like the detail about mixing the pasta with cream, it makes it less sticky and gives a gentle background for the flavour of the sauce

    It feels similar in vibe to dutch baby pancake. Both use a preheated pan or dish, some fat, and a dough that is quickly poured in and baked in the oven. It tastes better this time than last I made it, but the consistency is the true star of this dish. It's both crunchy and chewy, and the bits of meat add some variation. Though I would love to add some spices or sauce, or vegetables on the side or something

    It works well with single/double cream or mascarpone, and raspberry jam, applesauce and blueberry jam

    The fat content is important to the taste and texture. If I only put milk, it becomes a lesser version that I could not eat every day. I'm not sure if the cholesterol reducing properties of the beta-glucan in the oatmeal wins over the dairy though

    The original variant is, according to Wikipedia, supposed to be similar to ice cream. But this one uses a cream made of mascarpone, yoghurt, sugar, heavy cream and vanilla. It makes it easier, but I still want to try making the original which is "made by boiling cream, egg, sugar and syrup to create a custard-like or meringue-like puree which is then frozen". Sounds harder, but maybe better
