BBlleennddeerrrreecciippeess
MMaayyoonnnnaaiissee
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon of wine vinegar
Salt and black pepper
150ml olive oil
Remove the blades from the blending
foot and replace them by the mayonnaise
disc. Add egg yolk, vinegar, salt and
pepper into the measured beaker. Place
the Pronto fully into the beaker so that
the foot touches the bottom of the
beaker. Switch on and slowly move up
and down whilst adding olive oil in a very
slow continuous stream until the oil
emulsifies. This whole process should take
2
1/2
- 3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serves 3-4.
WARNING: RAW EGGS ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANT
WOMEN, YOUNG CHILDREN AND

BBaannaannaammiillkksshhaakkeess
1 ripened banana
1 portion of good vanilla ice cream
1 teaspoon of sugar
200ml of cold milk
Skin the banana, dice and put into
the beaker. Add the ice cream, sugar and
milk.
Mix until all the ingredients are
blended and frothy.
This recipe can be adjusted to your
taste by varying the fruit and flavour of
ice cream used.
Serves 1-2.
CCrreeppeess
100g plain flour
25g caster sugar
2 eggs
275ml milk
25g sunflower oil
5 tablespoons Cointreau
Mix the sugar and flour in a bowl.
Break the eggs into a second bowl, add
the milk and use the hand blender to mix
them together. Gradually add the sugar
and flour from the first bowl to make a
smooth batter. The consistency should be
similar to single cream.
Brush a 19 cm (7
1/4
inch) omelette
pan lightly with sunflower oil. Place over a
moderate heat until hot enough for frying:
a drop of batter should cook almost
immediately. Pour in just enough batter to
cover the base, tilting the pan to spread
evenly. Cook until the underside of the
crepe is golden. Toss or turn and cook
the other side. Repeat using the remaining
batter to make about 12 crepes. When all
your crepes are ready, fold each into
quarters and place in an ovenproof dish.
Heat Cointreau in a small saucepan over a
moderate heat until it begins to steam.
Ignite the Cointreau and pour over the
crepes. Serve immediately.
