Free Dining With The Doctor: The Unauthorized Whovian Cookbook by Chris-Rachael Oseland Page A

wide can wrapped in nori (seaweed paper used to wrap sushi.) That way, the sausages would hang down, looking even more tentacle-like. It was a great theory, but in reality, I couldn’t get the sausages to stay in place, no matter how many strategically placed (and artfully cut) toothpicks I tried to use to nail them down.
    Instead, I’m content to simply arrange the top of his head on a bed of coleslaw, surrounded by bread Daleks. Remember the middle parts of the baguette you used to make your bread Daleks? They can be pressed into service here. Simply toast them up and spread a little horseradish on the inside. When people are ready to eat, they can stuff one of Dalek Sec’s sausage tentacles into the impromptu bun, top it with the coleslaw beneath his head, and enjoy a somewhat cannibalistic sandwich.
     

Lazarus Cocktail (S3E7 - The Lazarus Experiment)
     
     
    2 shots/90 ml blueberry vodka
2 shots/90 ml tonic water
yellow sugar
fresh blueberries
ice
    Drink this and you’ll either feel young again or turn into a social monster. You won’t know which until you try it. To make this simple, attractive cocktail, start by quickly dipping a lowball glass in water and putting it in the freezer. The goal here is to get a nice frosted glass full of bluish fluid, much like the Youth-O-Tron Dr. Lazarus emerged from. It just so happens that the colors also work nicely with the Tardis colors, giving this cocktail an even more Whovian flair.
    If your grocery store doesn’t stock dyed sugar in the baking aisle, it’s easy to make your own. Just mix 4-6 drops (depending on how hard you squeeze) of yellow food coloring into 1/4 cup of sugar. Use a fork to mix it heartily until the dye is evenly distributed over all the granules. You can use it for all kinds of decorating - or you can go crazy and make a heck of a lot of cocktails for your friends.
    Once you have a frosty glass and a pile of sparkly yellow sugar, get two tea saucers or salad plates. Fill one with water and the other with your yellow sugar. Dip your frosted glass in the water then dip it into the yellow sugar. Congrats! You now have a frosted glass with a yellow sugar rim. All you need now is a drink to fill it.
    Carefully pour in the blueberry vodka. If you can’t find blueberry vodka, take a hammer to a bag of frozen blueberries so they get nice and crushed, let the bag come to room temperature, and strain out the blueberry juice. This may seem complicated, but I can’t find affordable blueberry juice in any local grocery while I can find oodles of frozen blueberries for around $3 per bag. You can substitute one shot of the blueberry juice and one shot of vodka for the blueberry vodka, all the while pretending that you’re the sort of person who only uses whole, organic, natural ingredients to make a cocktail.
    Now add a scant handful of unhammered frozen blueberries (or fresh, if you’re using premade blueberry vodka) to the bottom of the glass. Add your nice, bubbly tonic tonic water. Gently stir the cocktail so everything is mixed. Be careful not to knock off the sugar resting on the rim. Top it off with a few cubes of ice.
    Drink a couple of these and you’ll feel younger, smarter, and more attractive ... right up until the point where you turn into a giant humanoid insect.
     

Burnt Custard Sun (S3E8 - 42)
     

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup/65 g sugar + 6 tsp/30 g sugar for the topping
3 tsp/15 ml vanilla extract
2 cups/480 ml heavy whipping cream
     
    “Burn with me,” as you fall into the sun. In the United States, this dessert would be called Creme Brulee, but in the spirit of the episode, we’re using the British Name: Burnt Custard. The smooth flesh will melt in your mouth just like the crew of the S.S. Pentallian as they fall into the star they illegally mined.
    The good news is burnt custard is a lot easier than most people think. In a small saucepan, warm the cream over a medium heat until bubbles start to form around the edges. The goal here
