It’s the 2020 Red Carpet Menu for Oscar®!
For 1917 (Time is the Enemy), it’s 19-17lbs. (Cake is the Enemy)!
It’s been such a delight to have Joe Becwar in the trenches with me this year!! So glad he could join me on this journey!
This was a beautifully shot movie that shows the ravages of war during World War I and a particularly important mission that had to be carried out in mere hours. Fast-paced and nerve-racking, you were IN IT! I believe this film could take Oscar gold.
It has been the most difficult dish to create ever. A title that was merely a YEAR has been, to say the least, limiting. Thankfully there was a tagline to work with. The title is a date so of course I’d use DATES! The mission was NUTS, so here we used nuts. You see where I am going… There was a scene that featured a bucket of milk, so it was only right to honor it transformed as English Custard, a perfect complement to this authentic War Cake. A War Cake is a type of cake made during the war that used no eggs, or dairy due to shortages. I guess that makes it vegan!
Several people gave me the exact same suggestion that got me to this very dessert. Thanks to Peggy Dufresne, Diane Chudley, and Andy Luke! The dense, rich cake is just sweet enough and the creamy vanilla English Custard enriches the whole dish. I love this cake!!!!
Happy Oscars!
