I would not cut them smaller (...nor bigger as the combination of flavours is very very intense)! Virginie, enjoy Sweden! I love almond cream. Alessandra, those were about 4×5 (maybe 5×5).

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:45:20 +0000 http://www.cottoecrudo.com/en/?p=2325#comment-3435 You are so nice Alice. In fact my situation is more complicate as I live in Sweden for a while. It is funny because I just read a French cookbook mentioning this ingredient, so now we know there is almond cream in France. About Sweden I don't know. I will search. I guess it is available as there is usually more vegan products in Sweden than in France. But as I didn't know it could exist, I think I haven't noticed it in the stores. I will tell you. It sounds like a very good ingredient, thanks for this discovery. You are so nice Alice. In fact my situation is more complicate as I live in Sweden for a while.

Can you tell me how small do you cut the squares? For such a cornucopia of flavours I would imagine very small portions, but I better ask :-) ciao Alessandra Fantastic photo!

Virginie, almond cream is vegetable cream made with almonds (I use Ecomil brand, you might have it in France too). There's no added sugar in it, but it's naturally and slightly sweet as it's made with almonds and it's great for both sweet and savoury dishes. If you can't find it in France and want to try it I can send you a carton (200 ml). Of course, you can also make it yourself, I do sometimes, but it's not always so practical. Thank you girls!

What do you mean with almond cream? Is it a dessert cream or an equivalent of soy cream (like dairy cream, to cook salty or sweet dishes)?

Your photos are gorgeous and making me so hungry! I usually bake with all the unhealthy stuff (white flour, sugar, etc) but I am always intrigued by recipes that use healthier ingredients without sacrificing beauty or flavor. I'm especially excited to try the Himalayan salted ganache - salt really brings out great flavor in chocolate. Che bello! Your photos are gorgeous and making me so hungry!

Chestnut season is over but you should be able to find dried chestnuts all year round. I know that they can be hard to find anyway. I love walnuts in soup as well. I usually process the walnuts until very fine and add them to thicken veggie based soups. I also made a creamy celeriac soup for a dinner recently and added walnut pesto just before serving.
