There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Turmeric Paste (to make tea or Golden Milk) - Untested


1 - I started making turmeric paste to give to Zelda who is experiencing joint pain. It's purported to be anti-inflammatory, and I've heard several anecdotal stories from people who swear by it or know someone who does. Zelda seems to love the stuff. I tasted it, and have confirmed that while I share Zelda's dog-ness through my Chinese zodiac sign, I do not have doggy tastes. Ergo, I search for a palatable carrier of the salubrious qualities of turmeric for my own use.

½ cup ground turmeric 
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp fresh ginger grated or minced
1 tsp black pepper
¼ cup ghee
1 cup water
optional maple syrup or honey to taste
  1. Place ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, fresh ginger, black pepper, coconut oil, and water in a small saucepan and place over medium low heat.
  2. Whisk to combine and cook until it forms a paste and coconut oil is fully melted.
  3. Transfer to a jar with a lid. Let it cool to room temperature and store in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
  4. When ready to make turmeric golden milk, place a teaspoon of turmeric paste in a mug and add in hot milk of your choice. Taste for sweetness and add in maple syrup or honey. Give it a stir and enjoy.
