Welcome to the Celtnet Dessert Recipes Home Page

Welcome to Celtnet's Dessert Recipes Page — People like sweet things, which is a feature of our primate ancestry (this is also why we like fruit) and most desserts are a combination of fruit and sweeteners. There are a few exceptions to this — the most notable being the European penchant for milk-based products (cream, ice-cream, yoghurt, custard).

Here you will find a large range of recipes which do not fit into the 'ancient' theme of the remainder of the recipes on this site. In essence these recipes represent a sampling of the several thousand recipes that I've gathered, adapted and personally cooked over the years. Many of these recipes originate with University friends who helped engender my interest in world cuisine. Others come from exchanging recipes on the internet or going through recipe books to search for things that work (and things that don't) and are the results of my own experiments and modifications on these recipes. Yet others are things that I've tried and which turned out so well that I decided to write them up.

I have a passion for food and cookery that is (hopefully) bolstered by a formal scientific training that lets me know what's happening when food cooks. This is one reason why Roman cookery with it's balancing of salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami flavours is so fascinating (the same balancing is also present in Thai cuisine) and I want to bring this approach to the balancing of flavours to traditional Western and to fusion foods. Spice blends are fascinating as they show both how foods and flavourings have developed locally across the world and how the spice trade (especially the introduction of Black Pepper and Chillis) have affected the major cuisines of the world.

In many ways, accompaniments to main courses are the 'Cinderella' elements of meals and recipes. After all, roast potatoes are not nearly as sexy as a good crown roast of lamb. Yet, a meal is not truly a meal without its accompanying carbohydrate and vegetable elements. Indeed, it's often because these elements are not considered sexy and are not often published that many have problems cooking and creating these elements of a meal.

Which Wine? It's Your Choice

By Ed Masciana | Published 2011-11-15 23:44:02 | 2011 Recipes and Cookery Articles |

Recipe Information: 113

There has been far too much talk regarding which wine to select for a dish. The old adage "White wine with white meats and red wines with red meats" is merely a lazy man's way of not having to think. In place of taking the easy way out and categorize wines by color (a common problem in our society) you will find it much easier if you categorize them by weight. In other words, light wines with light foods and heavy wines with heavy foods.

Recipe Information: 35

Beef is a very flavoursome meat, as long as it is well matured, but it does have the cachet of being expensive and to be used only as a treat.

But you have a whole animal to consider and this article takes you through the history of beef eating and gives you a recipe for both the best and one of the poorer cuts of meat.
