Recipes

Mandarin cake

NOTE: In common recipes, we usually add grated citrus zest. Personally, I only use organic essential oil because fresh organic citrus are not available in my region. In this recipe, we can substitute mandarin essential with orange zest or lemon zest essential oil. 

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup of vegetable fat 
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 10 drops of mandarin EO (with lemon, 6 drops are enough) (alternative: marmalade blend: lemon, orange, grapefruit)
  • 1 cup of pastry flour
  • 1 tea spoon of baking soda
  • 1 tea spoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 cup of orange juice (or 2 table spoon of frozen juice concentrate)

Preparation:

  • Cream vegetable fat, add sugar, eggs and mandarin EO.
  • Mix dry ingredients in another bowl.
  • Put 1/3 of dry ingredients in the first bowl and mix. 
  • Add half of the orange juice, mix well.
  • Add the rest of dry ingredients, stir well. 
  • Add the other half of orange juice, mix well. 
  • Pour into a greased and floured pan. 
  • Bake at 375° F for 40 minutes

Icing: half honey-half soft butter flavoured with EO used for the cake. 

Carrot-mandarin soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 big onion
  • 10 carrots
  • Juice of 3 oranges
  • One pinch of cumin
  • 150 ml of cream (your choice between 15% or 35%)
  • 5 drops of orange zest EO
  • 4 drops of mandarin zest EO 
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

  • Cook the onions in butter or sweet almond oil. 
  • Add carrots, cover with water and simmer. 
  • When the carrots are tender, puree in blender, add essential oils in cream and mix it with the soup. 
  • Season to taste. 

For stress (thanks to Danièle Festy)

  • Press 2 oranges
  • Mix in a blender: 300g of red fruits, juice of the 2 oranges, 3 leaves of mint, 2 drops of mandarin essential oil and blend until frothy.  
  • Pour into 4 large glasses, add sparkling water, mix and serve.

For agitation, nervousness (thanks to Danièle Festy)

  • Beat thoroughly 5 egg yolks with 50 g of sugar until the mixture lightens in colour. 
  • Add 4 drops of mandarin essential oil to 30 cl of fresh cream, mix. 
  • Pour the preparation in baking ramekins and bake for 45 minutes in a double boiler at 350°F.
