Merging Cultures Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Sonofabitch! I've had d&v since last night, the house smells of food, and I can't eat a bastard bit of it! Nothing to do with your cooking I hope?!
sphericalfox Posted 7 June 2014 Posted 7 June 2014 Nothing to do with your cooking I hope?! Fortunately not for everyone else's sake. I know there'll be leftovers so I will be able to have some eventually, but I've sharted twice in the last 12hours, so tucking into some spicy pulled pork is probably unwise.
The People's Hero Posted 10 June 2014 Posted 10 June 2014 Shameless putting this in here, but if anyone finds/sees a betting market for the winner / top 3 /whatever of the new celebrity masterchef, give us the heads up will you? Ta.
AoWW Posted 10 June 2014 Posted 10 June 2014 Shameless putting this in here, but if anyone finds/sees a betting market for the winner / top 3 /whatever of the new celebrity masterchef, give us the heads up will you? Ta. Todd Carty isn't going to win. That's the most help I can be.
Merging Cultures Posted 11 June 2014 Posted 11 June 2014 Dinner tonight. The main didn't present as expected, but it tasted good.
Merging Cultures Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Not a massive feast like Una's but my NYD effort. Kudu with butter but squash, spinach with wild mushrooms and chorizo, and dukkah spice. We had the pork belly above to start.
Unabomber Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Ahhh here's the thread I was trying to find! Looks delicious mc.
Dr The Singh Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Ahhh here's the thread I was trying to find! Looks delicious mc. What about the cocking thread Una?
Unabomber Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 What about the cocking thread Una? Still looking mate
Itsthejoeker Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Smoked a pork shoulder the other day for 6 hours, tasted incredible. I'll post pictures later.
Captain... Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Girlfriend wanted a Chinese the other week, not a big fan of Chinese take away so thought I would cook my own. Was so much nicer and pretty simple. Crispy duck pancakes followed by sweet and sour chicken, just Google a recipe and buy the ingredients, worked out so much cheaper and was much nicer and not full of salt or msg or any other crap.

SystonFox Posted 4 January 2015 Posted 4 January 2015 Last night I made my own pasta from scratch. Home made carbonara sauce and home made garlic bread. It was really good. Had loads of thick butchers bacon and diced chicken breast chucked in as well. Love it
sphericalfox Posted 4 January 2015 Posted 4 January 2015 Going to make this today: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/9646/chinesestyle-braised-beef-onepot and get this prepped for during the week: http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/652180 I'll make a few adjustments to the ingredients, more omission or reduction in quantity, but both are a piece of piss to make, requiring very little effort. The return on this little time investment really does payback.
Unabomber Posted 4 January 2015 Posted 4 January 2015 They both look good Spherical. I'm making a chicken and bacon pie atm, added some smoked paprika to make it interesting.
sphericalfox Posted 4 January 2015 Posted 4 January 2015 They both look good Spherical. I'm making a chicken and bacon pie atm, added some smoked paprika to make it interesting. Just tasted the beef before freezing. It's the bomb. Really nice sauce, that nice and not overspiced, though I'll use a little less salt/soy sauce. Just about to apply the second rub to the pork, and then I'm making this salmon & broccoli cake for later in the week. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1398/italian-broccoli-and-salmon-bake
Unabomber Posted 4 January 2015 Posted 4 January 2015 Anyone ever made a banana tarte tatin? I have left over puff pastry from my pie and the only fruit I have is bananas, might try n make a tarte tatin with them and a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Started making my own sushi this week, bit fiddly but a misspent youth means I'm quite good at rolling.
Merging Cultures Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Has anyone done any molecular cooking? I'm thinking of doing a white fish, on a slice of mango, with a ginger gel sheet, lemon foam and coriander sauce. How hard is it to do a foam? What stabilising agent did you use? The main will be a filet, on horseradish dauphinoise potatoes, with an asparagus cream, and a parmesan popover (yorkie).

Merging Cultures Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 you have too much time on your hands! I think you're probably right!
MooseBreath Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Just cooked a quick stir fry with chicken breast, fresh noodles, some ready packed stir fry veg, shallots, garlic and soy sauce. While in the shop I impulse bought a Cadbury creme egg so I thought what the hell and dropped it into the wok, turned the heat down, let the creme egg melt and served that shit. Was delicious. I call it creme egg fried noodles with chicken.
