Thank you in advance!

I am trying the poundcake this weekend. I love old, old recipes. Wed Mar 25 12:22:23 -0700 2009 4535069 242610 Inchicago 1 4535094 Does it have to be cake or can it be any dessert? I have a great dessert that uses rose water but it doesn't involve cake or cookies. Tue Mar 24 17:38:46 -0700 2009 4535025 235176 cups123 2 4537404 Thank you cups123, I would love to try it whatever type of dessert it is. Wed Mar 25 12:07:07 -0700 2009 4535094 242610 Inchicago 3 4537599 Try making persian ice cream (you can use already made vanilla ice cream). http://dessertofthemonthclub.blogspot.com/2006/10/persian-ice-cream-delight.html http://www.chow.com/recipes/11073 ( I have never heard of sahlab and mastic - 2 ingredients in this recipe! And i'm sure it would be fine without it) Wed Mar 25 12:51:07 -0700 2009 4537404 235176 cups123 4 4537784 This dessert of the month club site looks wonderful. Many great ideas there. (Banana caramel cake!) I looked for the persian ice cream there but didn't find it. Do you know where on the site it is? A family member made something that I think might be like it starting with a good vanilla ice cream and adding rose water, pistachios, saffron and I think maybe a little cardomon. Would love to compare that with the other recipe. Wed Mar 25 13:41:31 -0700 2009 4537599 123744 karykat 5 4537832 Its right at the top of the link. Wed Mar 25 13:50:48 -0700 2009 4537784 235176 cups123 6 4538084 Don't know how I missed that. This looks just like what I was thinking of. Good to have some proportions for giving it a try myself. Thanks. Wed Mar 25 14:53:08 -0700 2009 4537832 123744 karykat 4 4583433 Sahlab you can get at most Middle Easter markets. It usually comes in a box and people generally make it into a hot drink. It's ground up dried orchid tuber. Actually very delicious as the drink! And mastic...is resin from a tree. I haven't seen it anywhere until I was @ http://kalustyans.com/ But I'm sure it's sold elsewhere. I'm not sure you can substitute mastic with anything else...maybe someone else here would know. But my guess would be no. Thu Apr 09 21:43:53 -0700 2009 4537599 17067 junglekitte 1 4535516 It's not a pound cake but I love Claudia Roden's pistachio cake http://www.bakingandbooks.com/2007/07/15/pistachio-cake-with-chilled-rose-syrup/ Tue Mar 24 20:03:44 -0700 2009 4535025 16406 ziggylu 2 4537481 Thank you, will try it. Wed Mar 25 12:22:47 -0700 2009 4535516 242610 Inchicago 1 4536613 Home made marzipan comes to mind. Wed Mar 25 08:39:46 -0700 2009 4535025 268647 TimCarroll 2 4537484 Thank you Tim, didn't know marzipan had rose water. Wed Mar 25 12:23:17 -0700 2009 4536613 242610 Inchicago 1 4537516 LA has a large Persian population. One will typically find ice creams infused with rose water, saffron, pistachios, and the list goes on. Cookies and candies are typically infused with rose water as well. I've only enjoyed these - never made them. But I have also enjoyed fresh strawberries with a mix of sugar, a small grind of black pepper, a little lemon zest as well as a squeeze of the juice, Spanish sherry vinegar, and rose water as a nice high note. Wed Mar 25 12:30:29 -0700 2009 4535025 64003 bulavinaka 2 4537791 Ahh yes. This is the kind of ice cream I've had from a family member with a persian restaurant. Wed Mar 25 13:42:28 -0700 2009 4537516 123744 karykat 3 4538510 Here's a local icon of sorts in this category . http://www.mashti.com/ One can find little Persian markets and ice cream shops in LA where a "little old man has been making Persian treats all his life" kind of situation, but Mashti Malone is readily accessible around town. Wed Mar 25 17:11:39 -0700 2009 4537791 64003 bulavinaka 1 4537731 Personally I like my berry recipes with a touch of floral essences (be rose water, extract or dried flowers). Just a touch of it brings out the flavours of the berries especially if you make ice cream. I drink rose bud tea quite often, what you can do is brew up some black/red tea, add a bit of rose water and have it either hot or cold and sweet or not. Wed Mar 25 13:26:58 -0700 2009 4535025 92180 gourmet wife 1 4537946 I make meringues and add rose water to them before baking. I serve with berries and whipped cream to which I've added a touch of the rose water. Wed Mar 25 14:17:10 -0700 2009 4535025 10157 farmersdaughter 1 4538827 How about a Persian Love Cake? No rose water in the batter, but it's used in the icing. http://www.greenbeansnmore.com/persianlovecake.html Wed Mar 25 19:01:58 -0700 2009 4535025 50258 Axalady 1 4538864 rice and rose water pudding is a very simple and rich dessert. Wed Mar 25 19:18:39 -0700 2009 4535025 11222 Infomaniac 1 4539676 Also, there are many Baklava recipes that use rose water in the filling and the syrup. These are kind of heavy / rich, but I love it. Thu Mar 26 06:21:03 -0700 2009 4535025 268647 TimCarroll 2 4564422 Baklawa would be my choice too Fri Apr 03 09:33:42 -0700 2009 4539676 89493 scubadoo97 1 4564346 I have a question about another dessert with rose...I attempted making a meyer lemon and rose tea creme brulee and ended up with eggy/watery brulee. I started with 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 3 T sugar and 4 large egg yolks. I must have added about 1.5 ounces of tea mixed with the juice and 1/2 T zest of one small meyer lemon. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm guessing I need to cut back on the yolk at least...? Fri Apr 03 09:12:45 -0700 2009 4535025 241636 jesso 1 4566822 Once can add rose water to cannoli fillings or panna cotta. Sat Apr 04 05:52:43 -0700 2009 4535025 120164 BigSal 1 4567198 This is great, I am intrigued enough by rosewater that I purchased it to make a turkish candy. Here's a photo (not mine) I don't have my recipe handy, I can look for it if you're interested. http://www.flickr.com/photos/voodookitchen/3122414692/ Sat Apr 04 09:48:15 -0700 2009 4535025 50431 chef chicklet 1 4568935 I often roast halved or quartered plums with cardomom pods, rosewater, sugar and a pinch of salt until tender. This is my standard morning yogurt topping, but I also serve it with cakes. Sun Apr 05 08:17:55 -0700 2009 4535025 22624 relizabeth
