A lively tequila sour shaken up with an injection of tamarind and star anise

Rich tamarind chutney gives this vibrant tequila sour a sweet-sour depth that pairs brilliantly with crisp apple juice.

45ml blanco tequila – we use Olmeca Altos Plata 25ml apple juice 25ml fresh lime juice 20ml sugar syrup ½ tsp tamarind chutney – any decent brand will do 1 egg white , or 3 drops cocktail foamer 1 star anise, to garnish

Put everything bar the star anise in a shaker and shake vigorously without ice to set the egg white and build a smooth foam. Add a good handful of ice, shake again until well chilled, then strain into a tumbler filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a star anise.

Cold pears stained red with tart hibiscus and offset by a hot, creamy, spiced rice pudding Hibiscus has a tart, berry-like flavour, and turns these pears a jewel-bright crimson in colour. I especially like the contrast of the cold, gently tangy pears against a warm, creamy rice pudding that’s fragrant with cardamom, bay, lemon and vanilla.

Rachel Roddy’s recipe for torta tenerina, or rich chocolate cake

But I am jumping ahead: this week’s column started in Ferrara, a city in the wetlands of the Po delta in the north-eastern corner of Emilia-Romagna. Half medieval lanes and half green avenues and parks, Ferrara is home to one of Europe’s most imposing red-brick castles, one that provides a home to an annual journalism festival run by the magazine Internazionale.
