Poached Pears in wine and cardamom. What can I say? One of the most ancient fruits meets some of the most ancient and aromatic spices like cardamom and saffron. Cloaked in a syrup which will remain in your food memory for years to come. My only hint here is that you quietly save some of said syrup to pour on your porridge on the lovely lazy mornings that will follow the big day. That is a taste sensation and one you deserve.
This recipe uses a sourdough starter for a fabulous brownie with a texture which is divinely dense, smooth, and fudgy.
