Today we bring you the STUA Meseta table in walnut wood, which thanks to the design of its top can be assembled in two different positions. A demonstration that a practical design can indeed be beautiful. Design and function.

Flyte
is a levitating light. A shatterproof light bulb which hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered wirelessly through the air. There are no batteries and its low voltage LEDs makes it completely safe and harmless.
Each base is elegantly designed, crafted in Sweden from sustainable oak, ash and walnut.
The Light Bulb has been considered the most important invention since man-made fire but not so much has changed in design since Edison’s time 135 years ago.
We’d like to change this, so we’ve designed a new way to experience your light. One which is free from the constraints of gravity.
The hardware and electronics consist of an electro-magnetic base, sensors and a power adapter.

Installing Curly Maple Dovetail Keys into a beautiful book matched Walnut table
We do this with a jig & a router
We use a router with a brass busing it follows the jig to create the key as well as the mortise
It’s best to use a down cutting spiral bit but an up spiral will also work.
Round the bottom edge of the keys and just touch the corner of the mortise with a chisel for a great fit
We like to use epoxy here, giving us longer working time and a better “gap filler” just in case….

Ginger Date Pudding Cakes with Rum Walnut Toffee Sauce
makes 8 servings
Cake
6 dried dates, pitted
1 1-inch piece ginger, sliced into ¼-inch pieces
¼ teaspoon salt
½ vanilla bean, seeds scraped out and reserved
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (254 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup (133 g) sugar
1/3 cup (45 g) candied ginger, finely chopped
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 1/2 (223 g) cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
Sauce
1 1/2 cups (149 g) walnut halves
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (133 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (227 g) heavy cream
1 1/3 cups (254 g) dark brown sugar
1 1-inch piece ginger, sliced into ¼-inch pieces
¼ teaspoon salt
½ vanilla bean, seeds scraped out and reserved
2 tablespoons dark rum
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter eight 4-oz ramekins, or butter and sugar eight 3” high by 2 1/2” diameter ring molds.
Place dates, ginger, salt, vanilla seeds and pod, and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add in the baking soda, and cook for another 3 minutes.
Remove pan from heat, take out ginger slices and vanilla pod from the mixture, and set aside.
In a stand mixer, cream together butter, sugar, candied ginger, and orange zest until light and fluffy.
Add in the dates and the cooking liquid, and mix until the dates are broken into small pieces and the mixture is well combine. The mixture may turn a funny grey or greenish color from the dates but don’t worry, the cake will turn out nice and brown!
With the mixer on low, add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until fully combined.
Add in the egg and mix until combined.
Divide batter among the prepared ramekins or ring molds. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to open the oven too often to check the cakes as this will make them deflate.
Cool cakes on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before unmolding. Let them finish cooling as you make the sauce.
To make the sauce: Combine butter, cream, brown sugar, ginger, salt, vanilla seeds and pod, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat and let simmer until it becomes a thick sauce, about 10 minutes.
Remove ginger slices and vanilla pod. Stir in the walnut halves and return to a boil. Let simmer until it becomes thick and sticky, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the rum. Let cool slightly before using.
To serve, pour sauce around cakes. Serve immediately.

This week, I’m going to be making a simple party dish - recorded by a Syrian writer in the 13th century! Though the dish is described very literally as “gourd dish”, it is, in fact, a delightfully savoury and crunchy snack that can be served at parties alongside a simple yet nutty dipping sauce! Thanks again to Charles Perry for the translation of the original Arabic!
In any case, let’s now take a look at The World That Was! Follow along with my YouTube video, above! If you like my recipes, consider checking out my Patreon!
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 - 2 courgettes / zucchinis (or 1 bottle gourd / calabash)
½ cup walnuts (finely ground)
½ cup tahini paste
bunch of finely chopped mint
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
lemon juice (to taste)
honey (to taste)
olive oil / sesame oil (for frying)Method
1 - Prepare Ingredients
To begin making this dish, we need to grind up about a half a cup of walnuts into a fine powder, along with about a tablespoon of cumin seeds, and a tablespoon of coriander seeds. Then, finely mince some fresh mint. All of these ingredients are native to the region in question, i.e. the Near East, and were used throughout history to today!2 - Prepare Sauce
To make the sauce, simply pour about a cup and a half of tahini paste into a bowl, along with your crushed walnuts, ground cumin, and ground coriander to taste! Squeeze the juice from half a lemon, and add it to the sauce, before tossing in your chopped mint, and get to mixing! Taste this when you’re done to see how bitter it is. If it’s too dry and sour, add a bit of honey to loosen things up a little and sweeten it! Make sure you do this to taste, mind you.3 - Prepare Gourd
When your sauce is done, we need to deal with the gourd! A common issue in antiquity is the ambiguity over the translation of “gourd” as many gourds we see today come from the New World (i.e. the Americas). However the bottle gourds (or calabash) and courgette (or zucchini) were commonly cultivated in the Mediterranean in the medieval period - with evidence for the courgette dating back to the Hellenistic Period! So for this, I’m using a courgette, as it’s easier to deal with. Slice this into thin segments, about as thin as your little finger.4 - Fry Gourd
When you’ve cut the segments, coat them in flour, before placing them into a pan filled with sesame oil over high heat. They should foam a little, depending on the water content of your courgette. Let these fry for a minute or two, or until they’re golden brown on one side, before flipping them over and letting them brown on the other side for the same amount of time.When they’re done, place them on some paper towels or a rack to drain off excess oil for a minute. Plate them up with some of your dipping sauce and dig in!
The finished dish is very light and crisp - and pairs wonderfully with the nuttiness of the sauce! The thinner segments act more like modern-day crisps (or chips, depending on where you’re from), and are a fantastic dish to have at any medieval parties you’re heading off to!
