Indeed, I did find my redemption in riz au lait au chocolat, but really wasn’t satisfied with the white kind of riz au lait. It’s something quite tricky: too much rice and it’ll end up rock-hard; too much milk and what you’ll get will be looked over as a soup. This riz au lait is just as it should be: creamy, beautifully flavoured and very comforting. What makes it special is its cooking technique inspired by the lovely Dorie Greenspan. Parboiling the rice in water makes for an almost starchless grain which is unlikely to get sticky resulting in a perfectly balanced ratio of 'rice grains' and 'vanilla cream'. For extra comfort, you can have it while it’s still warm. And then, you’ll understand what perfection really means. http://www.grouprecipes.com/1615/perfect-riz-au-lait.html Adapted from Bill Granger This tart is an elegant way to use mangoes. The custard – bursting with vanilla flavours – is balanced by adding whipped crème fraiche and nicely enhances the vanilla hint of the mango. The pastry is quite difficult to work with but patches beautifully, so don't be scared. http://www.grouprecipes.com/788/mango-tart.html
