Disappointing
Today in the staff restaurant there were hazlenut creme brulees. Now I'm totally incapable of passing up on a creme brulee, so I broke my new Only Salads For Lunch vow (I'd like to say, until now, two weeks and going strong). And I wish I hadn't. It's terrible. It's not cooked, it has so much ground hazlenut that it is really heavy and gluggy, and just to be pedantic, I don't think it has any cream in it. All round disappointing. But it has inspired me to try making Frangelico creme brulee. With chunks of caramelised hazlenuts on top. Yum.

I have found since matt started making creme brulee's that the one's I buy when I'm out seem crap compared to his. Although I made some the other day, and I was quite impressed with how they turned out, they were very, very smooth! Matt once made coconut and lime creme brulee (he was trying to make them "thai" for a thai themed event) which were quite yummy. Personally I just make plain creme brulee. I like them like that, with all the vanilla seeds on the bottom - yum.
I like 'em almost anyway they come :) My current favourite is cinnamon and Cointreau, using quite large chunks of cinnamon which get strained out, and west country cream. So yummy!
Mmmmmmmmmm. Bec, your creme brulee was every bit as awesome as Cecil's :) - Becky
