Wow- thanks for writing out the recipe…but I don’t see it posted. I would love to get it from you. Can you email it to me at tokyoastrogirl@yahoo.com??

Thanks for the tip on the panna cotta- I was wondering if the lack of fat made the vanilla sink but now I know why. I will definitely do the ice bath next time.

I have never been to Table 8- I hesitate since I hear really mixed reviews on it. Some people love it and others just hate it.

Thanks again- I’d love to get the tart recipe again if you don’t mind. I love all of your pastries and desserts- one of my faves is your brown butter cake w/ carmel ice cream. YUM!!!

Their desserts are not entirely to my liking, but they did a coconut macaron (as a garnish to a more involved dessert, of course) recently that I’m dying to try myself.

I’ve just been reading your musings, mostly because a friend of my sister’s said she had seen your blog about wanting my grapefruit tart recipe. I wrote it out for you and posted it in response to your request. Now I see you are making panna cotta, which I make regularly. Your picture looks beautiful, so I thought I’d share a little trick with you for panna cotta. If you stir the warm mixture over an ice bath for a few minutes to cool it before pouring it in the ramekins, the vanilla bean seeds will stay suspended in the (thickened) cream, lending their flavor to the whole body of the custard, and not pile up on the bottom.

I, too, lived in Japan for seven years and got tired of living with a kitchen that had one little burner. (And I was an ‘expat’…) I also tried the South Beach diet – which I actually enjoyed trying. Your panna cotta looks beautiful, and I’ll give it a try soon.
