Not Quite Shared Food
I'm part of a group on fb (Indri's vanilla bean group) that does co-op direct buys of vanilla beans in addition to its retail store -- it's extremely fair trade consumption and gets me a luxury good affordably. They're putting out a cookbook, so I'm doing some recipe testing for them.
On my list:
x The Coffee Cake (it's topped with toasted oats, which is nice)
x Panna cotta (this one needed a little more gelatin)
x Egg pie (it's a custard pie with flour as a binder, definitely not a delicate custard so it seems like a pretty robust recipe)
o Custard pie (another iteration, I'm curious to compare them)
o Filipino butter mochi (this is in the oven now, I'm interested)
o Emergency milkshake (milk, cream, vanilla, and ice, sounds great)
o Microwave caramel corn
o Vanilla bean instant pot rice pudding
o Creme brulee
o Semolina pudding
It's more than I can eat (needs to be done in two weeks) but it's a fun project. I also submitted my shockingly good vanilla lemonade (seriously, just add a teaspoon of vanilla to a tall glass of lemonade) and I hope it gets in there.
Very interested to see how some of these turn out. I've never heard of oven-baked mochi before!
Edited to add: the butter mochi is truly delicious and much easier to make than the rolled mochi I'm used to. Plus it's gluten free. Hm.
