Living Rawesome Day #353 Paul Smith Basil and Young Spinach-Striped Flan with White Cardamom Foam and Lemon Dust pg. 62 entertaining in the raw
July 12, 2010
At first this recipe looked intimidating and tedious, but it turns out it was simple, after I got my Vita-mix clean. I had all the ingredients on hand so I made this. I am waiting for my Thai Coconuts for the wraps for the rest of my recipe from yesterday on pg. 128. I decided to use what I had since I didn’t need too many coconuts.
