FFwD ~ Chanterelles with napa and nuts

No chanterelles to be found from any of my usual suppliers

but found MAITAKE which came in a floret configuration

which is pretty awesome!

So here is my

Maitake with napa and hazelnuts

accompanied by

purple carrot pasta 

by Vi Vien's homemade vege pasta!

(my best camera is lost (courtesy of DH) somewhere in China....)

apologies for the poor picture quality

trying to remember how my first camera works..

some days are better

and on the previous night

I made prawns (instead of scallops)

with caramel orange sauce!

I like!

 

 I even made the candied orange zest!

the caramel orange sauce needs a wee bit of spicing up

brandy perhaps instead of white wine?

or a dash of tabasco?

and in collaboration with 

Alice Mizer and Christy Majors

gnocchi a'la parisienne

abit pale huh

to be fair, I probably used the wrong cheese

so when using the frozen batch next... make sure

not to use mozzarella!
ps: tried to make cream puff with the gnocchi batter but with dismal results
