Liquorice food

[scrumptious]

Does anybody have any original recipes for cooking with Liquorice. We run a Liquorice Festival in Pontefract and would like to have some Liquorice dishes as well as compiling a Liquorice recipe book. We are also looking for Liquorice producers who want to exhibit at a premier festival.

You could try contacting The Fat Duck, which got three Michelin stars for, among other things, salmon in liquorice.

Scrumptious liquorice ice cream:

Beat 6 egg yolks with 6 oz caster sugar until thick and pale yellow. Meanwhile slowly dissolve 4 oz liquorice in 10fl oz double cream and 10fl oz full fat milk in a large pan over gentle heat - this takes quite a long time and when you get bored and it's mostly dissolved, bring to the boil and then strain onto the whisked egg yolks. Place in fridge until cold and then churn in an ice cream maker for 25 mins. The resulting ice cream is unbelievably smooth with a fantastic flavour!
