ROSETTE COOKIES/SWEDISH ROSETTES

Steps:

• Have ready: a jelly roll pan lined with several layers of paper toweling; powdered sugar in a shaker or sieve.
• Whisk eggs, milk, sugar and salt together. Sprinkle in flour a little at a time. Beat until smooth. Let batter sit for 30 minutes.
• Heat 3 - 4" of oil in a small, deep pan to 365°F.
• Stir batter.
• Heat rosette iron by submerging in hot oil for 10 seconds.
• Lift out, shake off excess oil and dip immediately into batter just so the top edge of the iron is even with the surface of the batter. If you dip it too far, the rosette won't come off the iron.
• Plunge the coated iron into the hot oil. Don't let the iron touch the sides or bottom of the pan.
• As soon as the batter puffs, gently pull the iron out. The rosette should slip back into the oil.
• When lightly browned, carefully lift out with a fork or slotted spoon and place on paper toweling to drain.
• Reheat iron and proceed with remaining batter. You'll have to work very quickly. The frying only takes a few seconds.
• Don't be tempted to fry more than two at a time. It will cool the oil too much and you'll get flabby, greasy rosettes. The oil should not go below 355°F.
• After you've fried a few, dust them with powdered sugar.

Place cheese on a clean stone or a heatproof board or tile as close to the fire as possible. As the top of the cheese melts, scrape off cheese onto potatoes and accompany with garnishes. It takes some time between servings for the cheese to continue to melt, so have some wine or kirsch handy to keep guests happy.

Remove from the oil and gently remove the rosette from the iron, using a fork if necessary. If rosette pops out of the iron and falls into the oil, use tongs to retrieve it.

RACLETTE

Steps:

• Start by making the vinaigrette. Put the mustard and red wine vinegar into a bowl or jug and whisk together. Add salt and pepper then slowly add the sunflower oil, whisking as you go until the mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in the chopped chives and store in the fridge until needed.
• Boil the potatoes for 15-18 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to steam dry for a few mins then add the butter, keep warm until serving.
• Arrange all the other ingredients in bowls, plates and platters on the table. Set up and turn on the raclette machine according to manufacturer's instructions - you may want to set the raclette machine on a heatproof tray to catch any melty cheesy drips.
• Let your guests help themselves to ingredients - if your raclette machine has a top hot plate use this to keep the potatoes warm or crisp them up and use to cook the peppers if you don't want them raw.
• Get stuck in! Everyone should have their own mini handled tray on which to put a slice or two of raclette cheese. This then sits under the central grill until melted. With an arrangement of potatoes and/or cured meats etc on their plate, your guests can then scrape their own portion of melted cheese on top with a wooden paddle or spoon. Leave the jug of vinaigrette on the table so it can be drizzled over the potatoes or salad leaves to taste. Serve with crusty bread on the side.
