Not seen one of these on here so, just for fun What did you last make. This was tonight's, inspired by Rick stein [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/Z9G1RgW.jpeg] [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/gcthImI.jpeg]

We’re both vegan but managed to find some fantastic cook books: Griddled asparagus with garlic white bean purée on sourdough Then Roast celeriac and walnut pesto with porcini red wine lentils and spring greens. Delicious! [URL=https://i.imgur.com/SGzKx0o.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SGzKx0o.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://i.imgur.com/lguibe1.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/lguibe1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Sundays offering, paella Valencian [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/kXZLLBI.jpeg]

Todays offering Catalan hooked beans with spiced cod. (substituted borlotti beans) [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/5e2AuMI.jpeg]

Chicken satay with home-made marinade and sauce, grilled on coals. Disappeared very quickly.

Peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies…No picture as they're all gone😋 As I'm retired but my other half is not, I'm the designated head chef and bottle washer so I do virtually all the cooking. Last night was home-made steak pie, carrots, green beans and skin on buttery mash with lashings of gravy. Tonight as her in doors is having fish and even though I come from Portsmouth I hate the taste of anything that doesn't breath fresh air and lives in water except cress, I'll be tucking into my normal fall back position of beans (flavoured with a dash of chipotle paste) on toast with a sprinkle of good strong cheddar cheese on the top. Hmm… thinking about it, I just might pimp it up with a couple of strips of smoked bacon too.

Not convinced it counts as being made, but the last thing I cooked was pizza. The last thing I made was Tuesday evening when I made a "clear the odd bits" special so there was pasta and pan fried spinach gnocchi, homemade egg fried rice with spinach, peas, onion, garlic, baby corn and a few other bits along with a tomato and mozzarella sauce and then some bits of crispy bacon, chorizo and pine nuts and some mushrooms baked with a bit of red wine and soy sauce. Incredibly random but cleared bits out of the fridge and store cupboard. It all disappeared quite quickly so that's always a good sign!

What food did you last make

Meldrew

Christmas cake as normal cut a slab off for the mother in law. Decided to make stollen again as I not made any for some years. Not bad not sure if it a tad drier than it should be, nice flavour though.

Elcarajillo

Looking good plenty of fruit,nice and dark.👍

Jony

They looked so good I had to give it go.

Very nice.
Sous Vide, reverse sear, years of practice?
You have smashed a beautiful medium rare finish even not saucing the whole steak so you can appreciate the flavour.
Whoever spent time, money and love growing the beast that that steak came from would appreciate the effort and respect.
I know I would.

LMSC

Both are Ottolenghi’s! 😊

whinmoor85

Amberale Thanks and yes to all three!

Since discovering ‘sous vide’ I never cook a steak any other way. It always turns out perfect. Yes it may be more hassle than just bunging it in a hot pan, but I always found not being a proper chef or to be honest not having steak even every month necessarily, that it was too hit and miss. I did it for a friend who visited and he said it was one of the best cooked steaks he had had. Nuff said!

whinmoor85

Pompeyexile Agreed with what you said about sous vide - not the most convenient way to cook but worth it for the precision. Low temperature oven also works well but the water bath is fool proof once you’re set up.

A nice quiche with a smoked cheese topping for our tea

Well after carb loading over Xmas and my birthday, I’ve now gone back to crappy low carb

The beer was a Friday treat after the first week back at work and generally a poorly household Xmas, Mrs was ill second Christmas running, last yr COVID this year chest infection and inflamed ribcage.😭

Cuprajake I will be joining you shortly. That means when I can stand the nagging no longer! I eat porridge for breakfast but the carbs are slow release into the bloodstream over the day…..as opposed to say eating breakfast cereal which dumps its carbs into the system all in one go. Lunch tends to be like your meal but I substitute eggs for veg as I am not a lover and I do not worry about the evening meal. I had to have ⅔ rds of my stomach removed in 2017 so can only eat small amounts, but often!

Cuprajake

I’m finding low carb more limited that vegan

Cuprajake

Up to about 80 so far with family bringing more with spare dough 😂

What’s inside, and how are they going to be cooked?

Cuprajake

Potato/cheese (mash) and then sauerkraut

Boil them and then mushroom gravy on top
