• Oatmeal and carrots pancakes served with avocado cream and poached peaches

I found the recipe for these pancakes in an old cooking book from 1972. The title of this book is “Culinary Wisdom”. The illustrator was my close friend’s father. Although I was then only 18 years old, he new how much I was interested in culinary and he gave me one of his copies as a gift when the cook book was published. This cook book has recipes from all over the world but it is written in Russian and it took me some time to translate and adjust all measurements. <br />The recipe for the Avocado Cream is inspired by one of my former colleague, who is from the Philippines. When we used to have lunch together at work, Ethel told me many times that in her country they use avocados in desserts. I decided to use as a sweetener condensed milk because it keeps the color light, then added sour cream and lemon juice to prevent oxidation and to make it as a real dessert, add vanilla and cinnamon. <br />Finely to add a summer note, I poached 1very large peach in orange juice and brown sugar. All the additions gave a simple breakfast pancake a festive and delicious finale. <br />
