Culinary notes


I used to be an avid watcher of The Cook and the Chef until its sad demise.
Looked all over the Blyton supermarket for what Maggie calls "verjuice".
(Others say verjus: mais c'est jus vert et verjus.)
Natch: couldn't find a drop.
So I went to the web for a recipe.
Seems it's made by pressing unripe grapes or crabapples in a special vice called un étau.
No chance of getting crabapples here, but unripe grapes should be possible soon.
Just have to find an étau.
Then I shall be able to turn vices into verjuice!
