Beaver ham sandwiches

from the book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by Clive Lewis

These sandwiches are deceptively simple. Despite the elegant appearance, each preparation takes no more than three minutes. And thanks to the unique combination of flavors, eating them is as enjoyable as cooking!

Ingredients for 6 roll sandwiches:

• 6 slices of bread (oat and potato bread work well for this recipe, as they are more moist and therefore easier to roll and less torn)
• 55 g cream cheese
• 6 tablespoons of pesto
• 6 slices of prosciutto

Note:

Try not to store these sandwiches for more than a few hours before serving, or the pesto will stain the bread.

Cupcakes "Painted roses"

from the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll

Chocolate muffin, cherry filling and buttercream two-tone roses - what's not to like here? The effect of red paint on white colors is obtained by separate drops of gel dye.

Ingredients for 12 cupcakes

Dough:

• 1/2 cup flour
• ½ cup cocoa
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cups butter, softened
• ¾ cups of sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 2½ tablespoons sour cream
• ¾ teaspoon of natural white vinegar (5%)
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
• ¼ cups and 2 more tablespoons of cherry jam

Cream:

• ¾ cups butter, softened
• 3 cups caster sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• About 8-10 drops of red gel dye

Special devices:

• spoon-noisette (round or oval spoon-knife)
• piping bag with large star nozzle

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180 ° C. Place paper capsules in a cupcake dish and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients except sugar. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the butter until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla extract and stir. Add eggs one at a time, continuing to beat, then add sour cream and vinegar, mix. Add the powder mixture and buttermilk in portions, alternating between them.

Fill the cupcake capsules halfway and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center of the cupcake comes out dry. Chill ready-made cupcakes on the wire rack.

Using a noisette spoon, remove about ½ tablespoon of batter from the center of each cupcake. Fill this hole with cherry jam.

For cream, sift the icing sugar into a medium bowl and set aside. In a bowl mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth. Place 1 cup of powdered sugar in it and whisk into an airy mass. Add vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon milk, whisk. While whisking, add the remaining powdered sugar and milk in portions, alternating between them.

Place a generous spoonful of cream in a piping bag with a large star attachment, with 2 drops of dye on top. Then 2 more large spoons of cream and 2 more drops of dye. Continue to alternate between cream and color until the bag is full. Squeeze the bag in several places to allow the paint to drip and spread unevenly across the layers of cream. Squeeze a creamy rose onto each cupcake (in a spiral motion from center to edges).

Latte "London Mist"

from the story "Copper Beeches" by Arthur Conan Doyle

This Earl Gray tea latte is lightly sweetened with honey and features a thick, velvety foam.

Ingredients for 5 cups of tea latte:

• 1 cup milk
• 4 Earl Gray tea bags
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• ¼ cups of honey

Preparation

Steep the tea bags in 4 cups of very hot water from the kettle for 7 minutes. While you wait, heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring regularly.

Place the tea, extract, and honey in a blender. Add half a cup of milk and beat for 1 minute. Pour in the remaining milk and beat for another minute. Serve on a mysterious foggy London afternoon!
