Lay the pears in a pan and cover with the water and wine. Add the cinnamon stick, saffron and sugar and bring to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and allow to cool. Once cool, serve alongside your soufflé.
2

Pre-heated the oven to 185°C. In a pan, mix the melted butter and 00 flour to make a roux. Mix in the cold milk, nutmeg and salt and bring to the boil. When the mixture reaches boiling point, remove the pan from the heat.
3

Mix in the Grana Padano and leave to cool. Once cool, transfer to a mixing bowl and stir lightly to soften. In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until firm, then gently fold into the roux mix.
