Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Relax along with all the Relax containing recipes presented on this site, with 8 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Relax recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Relax as a major wild food ingredient.

Relaxing has two meanings, one in pastry making and the other for batter mixtures:

• In pastry-making — relaxing is the process of setting the pastry aside in a cool place after rolling to allow the gluten to contract (because it will have expanded during rolling) which reduces the risk of the pastry shrinking during cooking.



• In batter-making — relaxing is the process of setting the batter aside to allow the starches to swell which gives a much lighter effect when the batter is cooked.
