When style meets recipe – summer season

by Les 100 Ciels Team on May 17, 2019
The intersection of colour, taste, texture and fabric
 

Fashion has always been a source of beauty, aesthetics and craftsmanship, and a natural extension of this is the sculptural and artistic forms that can food can take. Just like fashion, culinary trends develop season after season, with new colours, shades and textures. And just like a white shirt can be classic and timeless many dishes are go-to meals that are comforting, delicious or even evocative of childhood.

This week, we explore this union of style and food and bring together some of our most loved Spring Summer 2019 styles with a selection of fresh and easy-to-cook recipes for the upcoming Spring period! Let us know what you think!


Fritz Top Inspiring our Honey & mustard chicken skewers

Instructions

Cut the chicken into small pieces and cut off any fat. Place in a medium-to-large bowl. Add the mustard, honey, garlic, and salt & pepper to a bowl and stir until smooth. Pour it over the chicken. Refrigerate the chicken for at least an hour, preferably 2+ hours. If marinating overnight, cover it with plastic wrap. Once your chicken is done marinating, oil your grill’s grate and pre-heat it to high. Thread the chicken onto skewers. Pour any extra marinade over them. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook the chicken for about 15 minutes total, turning every few minutes.

Hilde Top Inspiring our Stripy Donuts

Capture

Instructions

In a small bowl, add warm water and sprinkle yeast over the top. Set aside for 5 minutes for yeast to bloom- it should go foamy. In a separate bowl add 3 cups of flour and the sugar. Then add in butter, egg and buttermilk. Add yeast (water and all) and mix with a dough hook for 5 minutes or until dough becomes smooth. If dough is too sticky to the touch, add extra 35 grams (1/4 cup) flour. Bring the dough together into one ball, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise. You want the dough to double in size, (60 to 75 minutes waiting time). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Use a donut cutter to cut out circles of dough, approximately 3.5 inch wide. Cut out a hole in the middle of each donut and discard.  Gently place donuts on baking tray and cover loosely with plastic wrap.

Prepare the oil for frying (180 C). Gently add two or three donuts into the oil, one at a time. Let them cook for 90 seconds, before flipping over and cooking for an additional 90 seconds. Once they are golden brown, pop them on a plate lined with a paper towel. Leave to cool.

For the glaze, sift icing sugar in a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of milk and stir until smooth. Add a few drops of food colouring until you reach your desired shade of pink. Dip each donut in the frosting, one at a time, and add white icing on top to create the stripes. If the frosting gets too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.


Benji Jacket Inspiring our Amaretti

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grease and line two cookie sheets. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar and salt until evenly incorporated. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites and lemon juice until they hold soft peaks. Add beaten egg whites to flour and stir until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough. Use a small cookie scoop to portion dough into 1-inch balls. Roll into a smooth ball, then roll in powdered sugar. Arrange on baking sheets, leaving 1 inch of space between cookies. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until tops are cracked and bottoms are just barely golden.
