Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium pot, whisk together agar and pear nectar. Whisking continuously, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for about 10 minutes.In the meantime, peel, core, and chop pears. When agar is dissolved, add the pears to the pot, bring back to a simmer, then lower heat again, and cook for about 5 10 minutes until pears are soft.Dissolve the arrowroot starch in remaining tablespoon of nectar and add to the cooking pear mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.Combine the hot pear mixture, drained cashews, maple syrup, and vanilla in a blender. Starting with a low setting, increase the speed of the blender until the mixture is completely smooth.Empty into a shallow bowl, cool slightly, then refrigerate for an hour. The mixture should resemble a creamy jello.Now this is where the magic happens. Whisk the mixture vigorously until creamy and smooth (you can also use a food processor), then store refrigerated for up to 3 days.Preheat oven to 350F. If making the tartlets, line the pan bottoms with parchment circles and grease with coconut or olive oil.Combine the dry (first 5) ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender, and process until finely ground.Add the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly to form a wet and sticky mixture.Set aside for 20-30 minutes, until the mixture is still moist, but no longer sticky.For the tarts: Divide the dough evenly between shells and press it in evenly with your hands. Place the tartlet shells on a baking tray.For the teacup parfaits: Crumble the dough and spread out on a parchment lined tray.Bake shells or crumble for 8 minutes. Rotate trays and bake for 8 minutes longer, watching it closely, until the crusts are just starting to brown (mine are a little too brown).Remove from oven and cool completely.Preheat oven to 400F.On a parchment lined baking tray, toss the pear slices with maple syrup and olive oil, then arrange in a single layer.Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are starting to caramelize.Remove from the oven and when the pears are cool enough to handle, remove them from the tray and store in a bowl, until ready to use.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
