Tiger Stripe Swiss Roll by Gordon Ramsay

Tiger Stripe Swiss Roll




A chiffon roulade with the tiger-stripe pattern on the skin….you can, of course, leave the skin out, as this light chiffon roll tastes good of its own.

Swiss Roll Tiger Stripe
  • 70 g German #405 flour
  • 30 g Cornstarch
  • 2 g Baking powder
  • 60 ml 100% Orange juice
  • 60 ml Corn oil
  • 20 g Sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Lime juice
  • 90 g Caster sugar
  • 7 Egg yolks
  • 40 g Caster sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla powder
  • 30 g Cornstarch
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Line a 34cmx25cm rectangular baking tray with paper. Sift the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder into a bowl. Separate the eggs. Stir orange juice and sweetened condensed milk in another bowl, gradually beat in the corn oil until fully combined and emulsified.
  2. Sift in the flour mixture, mix roughly and then add in egg yolks and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated. Beat the egg whites on medium speed, sprinkle in the salt once once combined. Continue to beat the egg whites until foamy. Add in lime juice and whip the mixture until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar in 2 additions until the stiff peaks appear.
  3. Fold the meringue in 3 additions with the yolk batter until incorporated and smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the surface. Bake the cake on the upper rack in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the cake and sift some powdered sugar on the surface. Place a parchment paper on the top and then a baking sheet. Turn the tray upside down to unmold the cake. Remove the baking tray and peel away the lining paper. If you prefer to have golden side rolled in, then flip the cake or you can leave this step away. Trim the edges off and set aside, covered with a towel, to cool for about 10 minutes. Fill the cake with butter cream or jam and roll up. Store the cake in the fridge while preparing the tiger stripe.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Place all the ingredients in the mixing bowl and beat at medium-high speed until the volume of mixture has doubled and the colour turned lighter. Pour the batter into a baking tray lined with the paper. Bake in the upper rack of the hot oven for 6-8 minutes until the surface has turned into the golden browned tiger stripes. Remove and turn it on another baking paper. Tear the lining paper off and trim the sides. Spread a layer of the whipped cream or jam over, and then put on the chiffon Swiss roll. Gently roll it up and cool it covered in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.

Tiger Butter – and why I already have all I need. by Gordon Ramsay

Tiger Butter


Tiger Butter My kids BEG for this Tiger Butter every year! Fortunately, this recipe is as easy as they come!

Tiger Butter

Tiger Butter is considered a fudge by some and a bark by others. It actually fits into both categories really well so you decide how you want to classify it. We first had it at Swiss Pantry in Belvedere, Tennessee. If you’re ever near there, stop and buy anything at all and it will taste wonderful! It isn’t quite as sweet as regular bark and the blend of peanut butter and chocolate create a treat my whole family loves. You can make this for gifts in easily less than five minutes, too, so it’s great for this time of year! Before we dive into that, I wanted to share my heart with you a bit. Thank you in advance for indulging me.

I know this is a time where anxieties grow more anxious, tempers have tendencies to flare, and a lot of folks begin to feel like a string stretched so tight you could pluck it and play a tune.

Been there, done that, and start down that road every year but manage to stop and turn around before it’s too late 🙂

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, how this year is even more stressful than normal for our country. With many people out of work (I imagine if you are blessed to have a job you still know folks who don’t and simply can’t find one) and the prices of everything skyrocketing, it’s disheartening to say the least to try to come up with additional money to purchase gifts. We’ve all cut corners. Most everyone I know isn’t sending Cards in order to save that money. My mother and I have made a lot of gifts together this year. We usually do that for friends and staff at the kid’s schools but this year we’ve made many gifts for the kids and grandkids as well.

Mama and I have talked about how this time of year used to be versus how it has become and we’ve worked to bring it back to a happy medium once more. Still, I know there is a great deal of anxiety and worry. 

But you know what? There is nothing new under the sun. We’re not the first people to feel this anxiety and we certainly won’t be the last.

My parents struggled all year long when we were little, just to be able to provide for us. Back then, “refunding” was common. Mama would save UPC codes and receipts all year long, scouring newspaper inserts for offers to send them in in exchange for items she could use as gifts. She’d get us dolls, clothes, even a calculator once that we all shared. Daddy always worked at least one or two extra jobs but when the holidays rolled around he’d add an additional one, barely leaving time to sleep. They scraped, worked harder, and fretted.  

You know what’s crazy though? Knowing how hard they worked and how much they worried, I only remember three of the gifts from my childhood – and one of those was Dr Pepper flavored Chapstick! Oh, rest assured I got far more than that, but what I’m saying is that with all of their fretting, it’s not the gifts that stand out in my memories.

It’s the things we did together as a family that I remember when I look back. Mama let us help her make cookies. Decorating the tree together. Driving around looking at lights. Special dinners at our grandparents houses. Learning to wrap presents all by myself. Singing songs at school. Making ornaments out of construction paper and glitter and glue to give our mother.

If you think about it, what do you remember most? The memories that remain long after the paper and ribbons have been thrown away.

This is the time of year where we’re all searching for just the right gift. Where we’re budgeting and shopping sales and trying to come up with just one more little thing to make the picture underneath the tree seem perfect.

But we already have so much.

I always wanted a family, for as long as I can remember. I wanted to get married and be a Mama. It seems like yesterday when I was a teenager thinking “I wonder if I’ll ever have my own house?” and here I sit, in my own chair in my living room, with my wonderful little family all under the roof. The Father has richly blessed me.

Just thinking about it all in that perspective fills me with so much joy my heart aches close to bursting. I’ve grown weary of spending more money on the gifts that fade. Instead, I’m going to spend more time on the gifts that will stay clear and warm in the hearts of my family for the rest of their lives.

You know, I can honestly walk into a store and not need a single thing on the shelves because everything I could ever hope for is right here around me.

I’ve already have all I need.

Tiger Butter

 I hope you took a moment to let that sink in before diving into tiger butter because I’m ADHD so I go from life changing moment to “OH LOOK! A SQUIRREL” faster than you can blink.

I made my point, I shared my heart, and now I’m digging in the pantry wanting to cook something with you.

You’ll need: vanilla almond bark*, Crunchy peanut butter, and chocolate chips.

*Almond bark doesn’t have any nuts in it, that is just a generic name for a chocolate-like candy coating that is commonly used in candymaking.   I say this because I always get several folks asking each year and I like to try to answer questions before folks have to ask them :). However, if you have a nut allergy in your family, the peanut butter is going to be a problem of course. I suggest trying SunButter, which is a substitute that my friend HodgePodge Mom uses a lot.

 Oh! Did I mention you’re going to need a rimmed baking sheet lined in waxed paper?

Well now ya know 🙂

I have these wonderful baking sheets I love that I got from Sam’s Club. When we were doing photos for my book a few weeks ago, the food stylist came bearing a whole passel of the same ones and we talked about how much we loved them.

Break up your almond bark into a large mixing bowl.

Breaking it up is optional and dependent on my mood. Sometimes I just throw the whole thing in there.

It’s gonna melt either way so just do whatever cranks your tractor.

 Place bowl in microwave for about one minute. Stir well.

Microwave at 30-45 second intervals, stirring after each, until bark is melted and smooth.

Add in peanut butter.

Stir until peanut butter is melted and well blended.

Spread onto waxed paper lined sheet.

Place chocolate chips in a small bowl and melt the same way you did the almond bark.

Drop dollops onto your peanut butter mixture.

Kinda swirl it a little bit with a butter knife until it looks good from ten yards on a galloping horse.

My standards of perfection are pretty low 🙂 but I stay a whole lot happier a whole lot longer that way!

Place in the refrigerator to harden or, if you’re one of those patient people I’ve heard folks speak of in legends, allow it to sit out on your countertop at room temperature until fully hardened. If it’s cold where you live, you can also just put it outside 🙂

Once it’s hardened, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

ENJOY!

Tiger Butter – and why I already have my Christmas by Gordon Ramsay

Tiger Butter - and why I already have my Christmas


My kids BEG for this every year! Fortunately, this recipe is as easy as they come!

Today’s recipe for Tiger Butter is a form of almond bark that my children absolutely love. We first had it at Swiss Pantry in Belvedere, Tennessee (If you’re ever near there, stop and buy anything at all and it will taste wonderful!). This bark isn’t quite as sweet as regular bark and really ends up with a peanut butter infused flavor that my entire family gets excited about. You can make this for gifts in easily less than five minutes, too, so it’s great for this time of year! Before I show you how easy it is to make this, though, I wanted to share my heart with you a bit and thank you in advance for indulging me.

We’re in the home stretch leading up to Christmas and I know this is a time where anxieties grow more anxious, tempers have tendencies to flare, and a lot of folks begin to feel like a string stretched so tight you could pluck it and play a tune.

Been there, done that, and start down that road every year but manage to stop and turn around before it’s too late 🙂

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, how this year is even more stressful than normal for our country. With many people out of work (I imagine if you are blessed to have a job you still know folks who don’t and simply can’t find one) and the prices of everything skyrocketing, it’s disheartening to say the least to try to come up with additional money to purchase gifts. We’ve all cut corners. Most everyone I know isn’t sending Christmas Cards in order to save that money. My mother and I have made a lot of gifts together this year. We usually do that for friends and staff at the kid’s schools but this year we’ve made many gifts for the kids and grandkids as well.

Mama and I have talked about how Christmas used to be versus how it has become and we’ve worked to bring it back to a happy medium once more. Still, I know there is a great deal of anxiety and worry. I know a lot of parents will be concerned that Santa might not bring enough.

But you know what? There is nothing new under the sun. We’re not the first people to feel this anxiety and we certainly won’t be the last.

My parents struggled all year long when we were little, just to be able to provide Christmas for us. Back then, “refunding” was common. Mama would save UPC codes and receipts all year long, scouring newspaper inserts for offers to send them in in exchange for items she could use as gifts. She’d get us dolls, clothes, even a calculator once that we all shared after opening it on Christmas morning. Daddy always worked at least one or two extra jobs but when the holidays rolled around he’d add an additional one, barely leaving time to sleep. They scraped, the worked, they fretted, and they hoped we’d not be disappointed come Christmas morning.

You know what’s crazy though? Knowing how hard they worked and how much they worried, I only remember three of the Christmas gifts from my childhood – and one of those was Dr Pepper flavored Chapstick! Oh, rest assured I got far more than that, but what I’m saying is that with all of their fretting, it’s not the gifts that stand out in my memories.

It’s the things we did together as a family that I remember when I look back. Mama letting us help her make Christmas cookies. Decorating the tree together. Driving around looking at Christmas lights. Special dinners at our grandparents houses. Learning to wrap presents all by myself. Singing Christmas songs at school. Making ornaments out of construction paper and glitter and glue and having Mama ooh and ahh over how beautiful they were when I gave them to her.

Christnas has always held a magical quality, but if you think about it, what do you remember most? The gift of Christmas itself, the memories that remain long after the paper and ribbons have been thrown away.

This is the time of year where we’re all searching for just the right gift. Where we’re budgeting and shopping sales and trying to come up with just one more little thing to make the picture underneath the tree seem perfect.

But we already have so much.

I always wanted a family, for as long as I can remember. I wanted to get married, I wanted to be a Mama. I remember when I was a teenager thinking “I wonder if I’ll ever have my own house?” and here I sit, in my own chair in my living room, looking at the tree that my husband and I decorated with our son and daughter. I wondered if I’d ever have someone love me unconditionally, and here it is Christmas, the birth of someone who loved me enough to die for me.

Just thinking about it all in that perspective fills me with so much joy my heart aches close to bursting.

This year there will be fewer presents under a lot of trees, but those won’t be remembered anyway. Rather than spending more money on the gifts that fade I’m going to spend more time on the gifts that will stay clear and warm in the hearts of my family for the rest of their lives.

You know, I can honestly walk into a store and not need a single thing on the shelves because everything I could ever hope for is right here around me.
