CLAUDETTE SAYS Introducing a limited-edition collection inspired by Claudette, inimitable mother and muse to François Nars.


So I got for Luna new year is 2 Nars lipsticks and I made a review on them.!







Lipsticks 

This beautiful red and black design is the perfect package for this amazing lipstick. I ordered 2 shades of this collection: Anais & Mathilde , and I am thrilled with how soft and delicate they are. Anais is baby-powder-pink and Mathilde is a little pinkly nude than that. Both are so comfortable on the lips and look beautiful.

CHINESE PANCAKES FOR CRISPY DUCK

CHINESE PANCAKES FOR CRISPY DUCK







INTRODUCTION

This works a dream. They are a little more moist and chewy than the shop bought papery versions, but I think a million miles better. It is an abridged verion of a recipe from "The Food of China" by Deh-Ta Hsiung and Nina Simonds.


INGREDIENTS

Serves: 6 (5 each)

  • 450 grams plain flour
  • 310 millilitres boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • sesame oil

METHOD


  • Stir the boiling water into the flour, add the oil and knead into a firm dough. Cover with a damp towel or cling film and set aside 30 mins. Knead dough 5 mins until smooth.
  • Divide and roll into three cylinders, cut each cylinder into 8-10. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and press into a flat disc with the palm of your hand.
  • Brush one disc with sesame oil and place another disc on top. Using a rolling pin, flatten each pair of discs into a 6 inch pancake. Heat an ungreased frying pan over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and place the pairs of pancakes, on at a time, into the pan.
  • Turn over when brown spots start to appear on the underside. When the second side is cooked, lift the pancakes out and carefully peel them apart.
  • Fold each pancake in half with the cooked side facing inwards, and set aside under a damp cloth. For 10 mins before serving, steam the pancakes in a steamer over simmering water.
