Cooking recipe preparation instructions
  1. Poach 12 nice figs in the spicy wine (see recipe) for about 5 minutes at 194 degrees F.
  2. Let the fruits rest for about 30 minutes in their cooking juice.
  3. Drain them, before drying them with absorbing paper.
  4. Roast them in butter in a Teflon pan. Colour the whole to obtain a light caramelization.
  5. Place 2 roasted figs (per person) on a serving dish.
  6. Add 2 scoops of almond ice-cream and some spicy wine. Garnish with a mint leaf.
For the ice-cream:
  1. Put the sweet almonds as well as the grated bitter almonds for 30 minutes into 2.1 pints milk and cream (3.2 cups milk ; 1.1 cups cream).
  2. Strain it in a sieve.
  3. Prepare the 12 egg yolks and 0.55 lbs. sugar. Pour the almond milk (2.1 pints) over it and let it cook, like for an English cream.
  4. Let it cool down and put the whole into the ice-cream freezer.
Facultative:
  1. If you like a slight vanilla flavour, add 1 vanilla pod into the litre almond milk.

Overview:
""Saint-Paul de Vence, located on the Cote d'Azur, French Riviera, a little further into the countryside, is a place that has barely changed since the Renaissance. Its ochre-colored walls and rose rooftops have attracted many painters, poets, and writers in the 20's and 30's. The plaza is overshadowed by plane-trees and people play the popular French game ''boules''. This just provokes the thoughts of one of the most famous French musicians, Yves Montand. The ''Mas d'Artigny'' is an exceptional hotel and restaurant complex. Built into a 20-acre pine forest, it dominates the Cote d'Azur and offers a magnificent view. Saint-Paul is a mythical place, and even if it is a little detour along your road along the French Riviera, it just has to be on your agenda!""
