Carrots are one of my favorite vegetables. Although I don’t like carrot cake, I do love this Indian pudding made with lots of milk, some amount of sugar, and not as much butter (ghee, really) as I had anticipated. It takes a long time, but is so worth it!

Hazelnut financiers (also good with cashews)
Wednesday, 20 August 2014
Financiers (sometimes called friands) are a good way to use up egg whites, especially after a summer’s accumulation of making ice cream.
