FOR CHEFS AND CULINARY PROFESSIONALS ONLY:

THE BIGGEST CULINARY DATA-BASE IN THE GLOBE:

Dear, Chefs and Culinary Professionals.

First of all thank you for having joined the culinary page of our awarded chef, Gianfranco Chiarini. Your presence there is highly appreciated.

The reason for this communication today is to inform you all that Chef. Gianfranco has created the biggest Culinary Data-Base on the web.

This data-base will be used to help you find new opportunities in the market, new contacts, networking solutions and culinary problem solving around the world.

When you need a culinary connection with a particular continent this data base will connect you with the Chef or the Chefs whom can clear your culinary doubts.

The data base as we said will be divided by continents and there will be a Culinary Director per Continent, and sub directions per country.

The success of this data base counts on your cooperation as we need you all to join in order to help it grow. All we need from you is to fill a small form that will go directly into a global data base.

Please click her: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFJhUmM1QnhkaGxpUjNXdk9OYkMySFE6M

and you'll be re-directed immediately into our data filler.

Thank you all for your cooperation, and we are looking forward to the success of this project and the development of this very important tool that will help us all for the first time on a global scale. Be a part of something big.

Remember to spread the voice into this huge globe project.

With our warmest culinary regards.

How to make a delicious Pear & Caramel Ice cream.

PEAR CARAMEL ICE CREAM.

RECIPE.

1 C. sugar
1 1/2 C. heavy whipping cream
2 large very ripe pears, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. milk
1 vanilla bean, scraped

PREPARATION.

Begin by making the caramel. Put 1 cup of sugar in a heavy saucepan over very low heat. Swirl it around every minute or so until it turns light brown. Begin stirring as the sugar starts liquefying. Once the lumps are gone, stir vigorously (do not leave it or it will boil over and burn!) for another two minutes. The color should be a rich brown.

Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add 1/3 cup of warm water. The caramel will sputter and steam as it hardens. Return the pan to very low heat, stirring constantly, until caramel is liquid again. Add the pears to the pan and stir constantly, cooking until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Take off the stove and use a slotted spoon to remove the pears, allowing the caramel to drip back off into the pan. Puree the pears in a food processor or blender until relatively smooth. Set aside.

Put the half-cup of sugar, cream, milk and vanilla scrapings/pod in a medium saucepan and heat over medium until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm. Fish out the vanilla pod and discard. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream mixture for several minutes until the mixture thickens and you notice an increase in volume.

Fold in the pureed pears and half of the slightly cooled caramel. Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Just before removing the ice cream from the machine, drizzle in the remaining caramel and allow it to mix in slightly for about 30 seconds.

Put ice cream in an airtight container and place in your refrigerator freezer until firm. And Buon Appetito!
