SLIDE 28

A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole, a property called self-similarity. Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex. Natural objects that are approximated by fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, snow flakes, various vegetables (cauliflower and broccoli), and animal coloration patterns.

ee and water to the saucepan and mix the ingredients well. Cook for five minutes then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Vanilla Icecream with Chocolate Topping

◮ In a bowl, beat and mix together the egg yolks and sugar until thick.

Carefully remove the vanilla pod from the pan of milk and scrape out the seeds into the milk. Pour the milk into the mixture of egg yolks and sugar whilst stirring.

◮ Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently, stirring until the

custard thickens – do not bring to boil!

◮ When you can see a film form over the back of your spoon it’s time

to remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave to cool.

◮ When the custard base is cold stir in the cream. Transfer the whole

mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

◮ Serve with chocolate chips.
