"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Gooseberry Compte

 

Ingredients

50 g sugar
150 ml water
225 g gooseberries
1 5-cm. vanilla stick
1 crame fraiche or greek yogurt to se, rve (vegans



 

Preparation

Make this dessert in early summer when gooseberries come into season
~ one of the most lovely of our soft fruits. Gooseberries make
gorgeous pies and crumbles too - but this recipe, for all its
simplicity, brings out the best in them.

Dissolve the sugar in the water with the vanilla stick, stirring, and
boil for 5 minutes until it is syrupy. Add the gooseberries to the
syrup and poach very gently for 10 minutes. Cool. Serve chilled, in
two glass dishes, with cr`me fraiche or Greek yogurt.
