Steps:
- In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil with the vanilla bean. Let sit 15 minutes to infuse. Whisk yolks with 1 cup of the sugar then temper with hot milk. Return to the heat and cook gently to thicken. Strain and place over ice water and stir to cool and thicken. Chill.
- Simmer 2 quarts of water in a large frying pan but do not boil. Meanwhile, beat the whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add the remaining 3/4-cup of sugar and continue beating until glossy, about 30 more seconds. Place a large sheet pan next to the water, lined with waxed paper dampened slightly. Using a large star tip or 2 dessert spoons or an ice cream scoop, squeeze out rosettes onto the paper.
- Using a spatula, lift the rosettes off the paper 1 at time and slide them into the simmering water. Poach for 7 minutes on the bottom then turn over for 3 minutes, not allowing them to touch while poaching. Drain on a dish towel. Remove to a sheet pan and chill.
- Crystallized Rose Petals: Whisk water and egg white in medium-sized mixing bowl. Dip rose petals into mixture and stick to inside rim of bowl to drain. Dip both sides of drained petals in sugar and place on a sheet pan with parchment paper. Let dry for 4 hours in a warm place.
- Serve floating islands in a bowl of the vanilla sauce, garnished with rose petals.
FLOATING ISLAND CUSTARD
We loved this simple dessert while I was growing up. This recipe comes from the cookbook that my mother received as a wedding present in 1933. This recipe does use raw egg whites. I would suggest using Pasteurized eggs or whites if you are concerned about this.

Steps:
- Scald the milk in the top of a double boiler. Separate two of the eggs, set the whites aside, and beat together slightly the one egg, two yolks, four Tablespoons sugar, and salt.
- Add the scalded milk to the egg mixture, mix thouroughly, and return to top of double boiler. Cook over hot water, stirring frequently, until the mixture coats the spoon.
- Remove from heat, add vanilla, cool, and pour into a glass dish or into custard cups. Note: I pour this through a strainer to catch any fragments of cooked egg white, which can be an unpleasant surprise while enjoying the custard.
- Beat the two egg whites untill stiff, and beat two to four tablespoons of fine granulated or powdered sugar. (Another Note: I didn't have either on hand, so, not to be outdone, I put my sugar into a plastic bag and introduced it to my marble rolling pin.)
- Drop the meringue onto the custard by spoonfuls, and chill thoroughly.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 130°, oven rack to bottom third of oven, this is going to rise. Butter and sugar - like your were using flour, but use sugar to coat the sides of the dishes instead-- one or two tall-sided oven dishes, I use 1 soufflé dish and one bread pan usually.
- Be sure your egg white beating bowls are completely grease free and dry. Separate your eggs carefully, one by one into a separate bowl is best, you must not have even the tiniest bit of yellow in your whites or the whole recipe won't work.
- Start beating the egg whites at a moderate speed until foamy, beat in the lemon juice and salt and gradually increase speed to fast, you really need an electric beater for this. When the egg white form soft peak, very gradually add the sugar in small amounts, then beat at high for a few minutes til you get stiff peaks. Beat in the vanilla. Scoop the mixture into the prepared dish or dishes, you want them about filled, just use a second dish if you have too much. I sometimes use a prepared bread pan for the excess and slide it onto the same oven rack as the soufflé dish.
- Bake immediately in the preheated oven 35-40 minutes. It will rise and turn golden. A bit too much time is better than too little. Remove and cool at room temperature, it will sink a bit. When cool, cover and refrigerate. May be made up to a couple days in advance and even frozen.
- Cut into 6 wedges and serve on a pool of cool crème anglaise, which is actually a bit difficult to make at home. If you have any hesitation, buy it pre-made. If you are feeling adventurous, use your leftover egg yolks and any crème anglaise recipe from the web and follow the directions EXACTLY-- it must NEVER boil.

Steps:
- Heat the milk and vanilla in a pan until steaming. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Continue whisking while you pour the hot milk over the egg yolks in a steady stream, until combined. Transfer back to the pan, and heat over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 mins. It shouldn't be custard thick, more of a thick double cream consistency. Transfer to a bowl, cover the surface with a scrunched piece of baking parchment and leave to cool. Once cool, chill until ready to serve.
- Put the egg white in a stand mixer. Whisk for 4-5 mins until you get soft peaks. With the motor still running, add the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, allowing it to be incorporated before adding the next. When all the sugar has been added, whisk for another 2-3 mins until stiff.
- Pour the milk and 200ml water into a wide pan or medium frying pan and heat until steaming, but not boiling. Add heaped teaspoons of the meringue mix into the milk, using another teaspoon to slide the meringue off the spoon, and gently poach for 3-4 mins (you don't need to move them around). Carefully turn the meringues over and cook the other side for 3-4 mins until set. Remove the meringues from the milk and leave to cool on a plate.
- To make the caramel, heat the sugar, 1 tbsp water and pinch of salt in a small pan and cook on a medium heat until you get a lightly golden caramel, about 10 mins. Keep warm for drizzling at the end.
- To serve, briefly stir, then spoon the custard into four ramekins or small bowls. Top each with a meringue and a drizzle of caramel.

GRANDMA'S BANANA PUDDING
My grandma ran a country club and a restaurant in her day. She can make amazing food, but sometimes it's hard to get a recipe from her because she doesn't measure anything and makes everything from memory. While letting her talk it out, I was able to get this banana pudding and a few other recipes written down. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Separate two of the eggs. In top of double boiler, combine 1 whole egg and 2 yolks with 1/4 cup sugar and the salt, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the milk and cook over simmering water, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. When the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove it from the heat. (Do not boil. If custard should start to curdle, remove from heat and beat vigorously until smooth.) Pour the custard through a strainer into a bowl and stir in the vanilla extract. Cool and refrigerate.
- In a heat-proof bowl, lightly whisk the 2 egg whites with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, just enough to dissolve the sugar. Place the bowl on top of a pot of simmering water and stir constantly until the temperature of the whites reaches 145 degrees F (63 C) or hotter. Immediately remove the bowl from the heat, and use an electric mixer to beat the warm egg whites until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Pour the chilled custard into a serving dish. Drop the meringue by heaping tablespoons onto the custard to make islands. Chill before serving.

This unique recipe from classical French desserts, called, "Oeufs a la Neige" translates to "Eggs in the snow"..this "custard" is very ingenious and one that has also entered the traditional American culinary menu. This is a challenging recipe- but do not be intimidated by it..once you start you will find it very easy-I know the...

Steps:
- 1. Bring 2 cups of the milk to a boil, then remove from heat. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, add to milk, cover and steep for about 15 minutes.
- 2. Beat the egg yolks and slowly sprinkle in 1/3 cup of the sugar. Continue beating until thick and pale yellow in color. Remove bean from milk. Scrape seed from bean and add to milk, discard pod. Pour milk, in a fine stream into egg yolks while beating them continuously. Pour mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until it forms a custard thick enough to coat the back of a silver spoon , about 20 minutes; please do not rush the process or the eggs will scramble. Pour custard through a strainer( in case some egg did scramble) and into a shallow serving dish. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
- 3. Beat 4 of the egg whites, until foamy, then add 1/3 cup of the sugar very slowly, continuing to beat until egg whites are shiny and stiff, but not dry.(freeze the other 2 egg whites for another use).
- 4. Put remaining 2 cups of milk in a large shallow pan and bring to a low simmer.Using a large slotted spoon, form big egg shapes of the whipped egg whites and poach them in the milk for 30 seconds on each side. Do not over cook. Put the "egg shapes" on a clean towel to drain.
- 5. Combine the remaining 2/3 cup sugar with 1/3 cup of water in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until sugar caramelizes, turns amber in color. Remove pan from heat to prevent caramel from burning. This can happen in an instant, so it is best to take the pan from the heat just before the sugar darkens, because it will continue cooking. Cool for 5 minutes or until the caramel forms into threads when drizzled from the tines of a fork.
- 6. Using a slotted spoon, carefully arrange the "egg" shapes on top of the custard. Dip a fork into the slightly cooled caramel- you will have to work quickly- and wave the fork over the dessert to form threads of caramel that crisscross and tangle. Serve immediately.. This will be challenging recipe I hope some of you make this beautiful dessert..I know you can do it!
GRANDMA'S FLOAT
This is a recipe my grandma used to make for us when we were younger every time we went to her house, and we loved it! It is easy to make, and you can play with the flavoring too! Strawberry and vanilla are my favorite, as well adding both flavors into one batch!! :) Hope you enjoy it as much as we have! :)

Steps:
- Whisk the flour and 2 tablespoons of white sugar together in a small bowl until combined; set aside. Whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small saucepan until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir constantly. Once the mixture is warm, whisk in the flour mixture, and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk constantly as the sauce cooks to keep it from scorching. Once thick, keep warm over low heat.
- Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Finally, beat in the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot sauce over the egg whites, and gently fold together using a rubber scraper until well incorporated. Do not mix vigorously, or the egg whites will deflate. Serve warm.
