Devonshire clotted cream is no longer cream, but not yet butter. Tender, creamy-sweet, and amazingly delicious. In Devonshire, farmers have been preparing them using ancient technology for many many years. The secret of production, as usual, is different for everyone and is not particularly disclosed. But here I met a recipe on the Internet how to cook melted cream at home, in the oven. In Devonshire, this clotted cream is a mandatory part of afternoon tea. They are served with skins. The scones are cut lengthwise, spread with strawberry jam, and put a spoonful of melted cream on top. It’s divinely delicious!
Why Devonshire? The name comes from the county of Devonshire, in the south-west of England. These places are famous for their beautiful landscapes, seaside resorts and traditional tea drinking. Tea is served here with skins, strawberry jam and melted thick cream. By the way, the British are divided into those who first spread jam on the scones, and then put cream on those who do exactly the opposite: first cream, then jam. And I found the recipe for these scones from the British culinary writer and TV presenter Mary Barry.
A very popular dessert “Balparmak” is part of the group of Turkish pastries, which are soaked in syrup. It turns out tender, juicy and sweet. The recipe was first described in the cookbook of the great Ottomans, which was published in 1844 and is stored in the Topkapi Palace.

“Pasteis de nata” cakes with custard. These cakes are called “Pate de Belem”, all other “fakes” are simply called “Pate de nata”. Today I have chosen from all possible options a “fake” recipe with the “least” amount of sugar and will use milk instead of cream. Careful, it’s sweet! But very tasty! The Portuguese love sweets!
I bring to your attention a Limburg pie, which combines a sandy-yeast dough with a sweet fruit or berry filling. Today I prepared this pie with black currant. It turned out very tasty and vitamin-rich!
Usually we prepare 4 dishes from potatoes – baked, boiled, mashed, or fried in a frying pan. This recipe is slightly different from the usual cooking, as it combines 2 stages of baking in one recipe. The first stage allows you to bake potatoes in their own juice without losing useful substances. The second stage gives a beautiful baked crust. This recipe goes for everyday dinners. The recipe, according to my family’s estimates on a scale from 1-5, took a solid score of 4.5. I wonder how much your loved ones would put you for this recipe?
Fragrant, juicy, tender chicken baked with nectarines. Such chickens turn out to be very elegant and can quite decorate a festive table. By the way, the price of these chickens is lower than that of chickens, which makes this dish even more attractive.
