The most useful and delicious dishes are obtained with fresh milk, although the preparation of melted and condensed milk, recipes of which are popular with chefs, allows you to preserve this product without losing its taste qualities. Dairy products, cheese, butter, sour cream are made from milk, porridges, soups, pastries and sweets are prepared.
Types of Milk
The dairy industry produces pasteurized and sterilized milk. It is believed that the pasteurized product is more useful because it preserves beneficial microorganisms.
During pasteurization, the fermentation process simply slows down, therefore, the shelf life of the product is extended to 36-38 hours.
Sterilized milk differs from pasteurized milk in that it is almost completely free of microorganisms. Its shelf life is six months. Sterilized milk is good to use with tea and cocoa. The same dishes are prepared from sterilized milk that can be prepared from pasteurized milk.

One of the most famous desserts in the world is the Italian panna cotta. It translates as “boiled cream”. Today I propose to cook it with lemon liqueur.
Crepe Suzette pancakes are a famous French dessert that has become a real classic.

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.
“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!
