[stinky]

Had my bro and his fiancee around for dinner saturday so I cooked up a feast.

First was Smoked Camenbert and Ash Brie crumbed and baked and served gooey as a fancy fondu.

I made a Guiness and beef stew for the main meal and skewered chipolatas with rosemary and put them on top of the stew and left it in the oven for a few hours.

I made a sauce out of red wine, sugar, cinnamon, and bay leaves and boiled it right down to a goo and then put the cooked chipolatas in the pan with it and cooked it right down until it was a sticky mess stuck to the chipolatas.

I also baked some asparagus wrapped in proscuitto with cherry tomatos and kalamata olives smushed up. I served this on top of the chipolatas for entree.

I then served the stew with fresh breadrolls and a little dish of fresh Rosemary, parsely, garlic and lemon zest smushed together with a morter and pestle which you sprinkle into the stew ( the italians have a name for it, but can't remember it ) as you serve it.

For dessert I made frozen chocolate and bourbon ( makers mark ) souffle with a chocolate and bourbon hot fudge sauce, fresh whipped cream and dusted liberally with vanilla bean infused sugar.

It went down fairly well :) I was gonna take photos of it all as it was so brilliant, but got too busy getting it all ready and forgot.

[dwarfthrower]

Okonomiyaki. Awesome way of using up whatever leftover stuff is kicking around the fridge. Plus the kids love them, they're good for you and take bugger all time to make. The perfect dinner.

Last week I bought some awesome green prawns at the market that were so freakin' fresh. I crumbed 'em in a breadcrumb-parmesan-parsley combination and baked them. My god. They were good. I was almost sorry I had guests over to share them.

Moral to the story is, the prawns were so good I decided to buy some crab and cook it the way I was shown in France. I'm making some bread to go with it. I'm excited :D

[imp]

Tonight i'm making a smoked tuna mornay with mushrooms and broccoli.... and smoked tuna of course. :p

lamb or pork or chicken? i'm trying to make roast pork again tonite...last time the crackling was rather disapponting..

[Lina]

I always remove the fat from the pork when I'm letting the meat rest and let it crisp up in the oven. I thus always have awesome crackling :nod:

Tis lamb tonight.

[ACEwoK]

i think i'll do a thai prawn green curry tonight

[Colonel Kurtz]

Whatever yumminess the Mother In Law serves up

Taco mince with rice, and lettuce and tomato and cheese mixed through it. Although in all honestly I would prefer pizza.

[Several-Ninjas]

[Glompbot]

I'm thinking of wandering up to simply noodles and getting something cheap and nasty.

[stinky]

I celebrated my newly renovated and gassed up kitchen by making chicken stock a la kleph (http://www.kleph.com/cook/2006/01/chicken-stock.html)

Tonight I'll probably cook something that required chicken stock. Rissotto anyone ?

[hymartin]

[bitch]

I have pretty much spent my long weekend so far, cooking and wining. Life is good.

Friday Lunch: Warm lamb salad, with cumin pitta
Friday Dinner: A rich veal ragu with pasta. I cut the pasta in big thick ribbons so it would soak up the sauce, just so.
Saturday Dinner: Chicken segments, browned and deglazed with vermouth, baked over a bed of chunky onion, capsicum, mushrooms, beans and garlic cloves in white wine.
Tonight: Osso bucco with preserved lemon.

I'm proud to say that these days, my experiemental cooking (in this case the lamb salad and the chicken) pretty much has a 100% hit rate. It so didn't ten years ago :)

[Buffy]

Wow, next long weekend I'll be heading to bitch's place :D
Tonight is linguine with a creamy bacon and mushroom sauce, side salad and garlic bread! Easy peasey for lazy Buffy :P

[Glompbot]

Chicken and vegetable burgers on burgen honey and oat bread

Spaghetti Bolognese. :D

[astro]

That's kinda spooky. I just finished my spag bol :)

[FatherShark]

Must be a popular Sunday night dish - I've cooked it as well!

[astro]

It does give a nice excuse to drink red wine on a night where you should be behaving yourself as you have to go to work the next day ;)

[annie]

some sort of wierd green curry and vermicelli noodles mixture that should never have been.

[Chocoholic]

50cent hamburger paddies I brought at the market yesterday on some fresh rolls I am yet to purchase and maybe some chips.

Also going to do a spag bol during the week because I don't remember the last time I made pasta...

[astro]

It won.

[stinky]

Saturday night I was entertaining some friends we hadn't seen in ages, so I decided to do it properly:

1) greek mezedes with ouzo

mezedes :
deep fried camenbert
spinach and fetta parcels
meatballs with a jam sauce ( cheaty ikea lingonberry jam )
thick cut french stick toasted on griddle and rubbed with garlic
chorizo, halloumi and sundried tomato on skewers
olives and sundried tomatoes
hommus and tzatziki dips

2) main course:

pork ribs rubbed with kleph's bbq rub and my own homemade bbq sauce ( balsamic, rosemary, dill, garlic, soy, orange juice, paprika, fennel, coriander, ketchup ) and slow roasted for 4 hours

roast beef with incisions all around stuff with garlic and sundried tomatoes, generously coated in wholeseed mustard. Roast potatoes, pumpkin and carrots.

[Chodus]

Tonight i had Toad in the Hole with cabbage and creamy mash potato, covered in gravy.. I hadn't had toad in the hole for probably at least 10 years when my grandparents would make it. I didn't come close to how i remember it..but it was still brilliant.

Not to give myself a wrap or anything

[Hit And Rum]

Not to give myself a wrap or anything

I fucking hate you!! Toad in the hole tastes so good!! A lot better then what I had for dinner. Toast and fruit...

[imp]

Beef Stroganoff :D Not the packet stuff, I make mine using mushroom soup. Mmmmmmm...... soupy.

[Lina]

I made a chicken and leek baked risotto. Twas rather tasty.

[Glompbot]

OK
So i started off making taco mince...
500g of mince...
added taco seasoning, some water, some garlic (i like garlic), some paprika, 2 beef stock cubes, and some chopped up tomato.
then decided it would be a good idea to try making meatballs which I have never made before.
so i added olive oil, bread crumbs, oregano, red wine, more garlic, 2 eggs (on the advice of zgeek irc denziens),
Since I was cooking brown rice at the time (cooked about 500g of it, and then portion it off and freeze it... and when i want brown rice, viola! nuke and ready), i decided to add a few handfuls of brown rice.

So....
lets hope these don't taste like shit

i'll be cooking them in organic extra virgin olive oil, with red wine, and maybe i'll chop up some peppers (or sprinkle some cayenne pepper over the top)

Haven't decided how i'm going to eat the meatballs.. probably just a few in some dipping sauce.

If all else fails I'll drown them in tobasco sauce and try to hide the shitty taste of them.

wish me luck!

[imp]

Ranger Nic is cooking tonight (yes, I have him well trained plus he's a great cook) so I can relax and keep off my feet.

He's making Bangers (lamb and rosemary snags) and Mash with onion gravy. My Goodness!

[Glompbot]

Meatball update:
OK, I cooked them two ways.
so frying them sucked, they fell apart whenever I tried to turn them
Baking them made them stick together really well and they're a lovely colour too.

I had about 3, and the rice did exactly what I wanted it to - gave it an interesting 'wholegrain' type of flavour and made them INCREDIBLY filling.

I may make spaghetti tomorrow.

[Chodus]

so frying them sucked, they fell apart whenever I tried to turn them


Either 2 things happened, either not enough breadcrumbs, or too much oil. Thats my experience anyway =)

I'm making chicken red curry..smells good so far.

[Xythan]

A vegetarian...no, not a vegetarian meal...a vegetarian. Bah...see my PETA thread.

[Chodus]

I eat pieces of Peta like you for breakfast!

[Something Fast]

A pastrami wrap: sliced pastrami, tomato, lettuce, beansprouts, cheese and a bit of cream cheese all in leb bread.

I've eaten it already and I want moar.

3 thick slices of freshly cut tasty coon cheese and beer ..... lots of beer :D

[Jodiechrist]

Slow cooked lamb pasta bake. Loads of paprika, oregano and cumin, and about a weeks worth of leftovers. Fannnntastic.

[royale]

Chinese chicken and pork rolls with plum sauce and fried rice...
Pound a chicken breast really thin, spread it with crushed garlic, Chinese 5 spice and salt/pepper. Wrap it around a piece of ham, then dip in the roll in flour then egg wash. Fold/wrap the chook in spring roll wrapper then fry off. Slice diagonally and arrange on fried rice and drizzle with a soy/plum sauce combination.

[Glompbot]

Looking at the way my evening is shaping up
Zibibbo, Sorbet, white rum, vodka, strawberries, mint, lime, lemon juice, gin and whatever else we find.

[Buffy]

I'm cooking a 'roo roast, looks spesh!
Don't know what's going to go with it yet :D One of our dinner guests has promised weirdo pudding things that he bought back from italy for dessert, huzzah!

theres this great little disk called hedgehogs ( or porcupines ) which is basically meatballs with raw rice mixed through them in an oven proof pot with a tin of tomatoes and stock. As they cook the rice expands and sticks out of the meatballs like little spikes... is ruddy brilliant!

[Hit And Rum]

Fuck I haven't even worked out what is for lunch!!

[biomechanic]

The cunting supermarket's shut so I'll have to make something out of bread and vegemite

[Hit And Rum]

The situation is grim

Yeah most everything is shut today... including all the bottle stores. We have a bottle of sake from Japan and a bottle of Baileys in the house, both unopened. We're drinking the sake first b/c man, I hate Baileys. ;)

As for dinner, we went to the store last night and got what we needed to make a creamy chicken curry with peas and carrots for tonight. Yum!

[imp]

Slow cooked beef and red wine casserole. We usually cook it for about 6 hours.

[dwarfthrower]

Last night I put my 1337 barbecue skills on display.

Made a marinade out of freshly ground cumin, coriander, black pepper, salt, garlic lemon juice & olive oil. Diced some pork and eggplant and let it roll around in the marinade for a few hours. Threaded the marinaded pork and eggplant cubes onto skewers and popped them on the grill.

Meanwhile, butterflied open a nice fresh turkish pide loaf and lightly toasted it on the barbecue, then spread a nice helping of hommus over the inside. Unskewered the meat and eggplant onto the bread, topped with leafy green stuff (spinach, rocket etc) and drizzled some dressing made out of yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil over the top. Closed it over and sliced it up for eating purposes.

[sagit]

sausages and veges. and chocolate

[Glompbot]

A friend of mine is starting a business making and distributing gourmet gluten free pasta.

I just had three types of filled pasta with a sweet potato sauce:
Kid + paprika
3 types of mushroom and garlic
onion, drambuie and sultanas

ALL OF THEM WERE AWESOME
the pasta was SLIGHTLY dryer than normal pasta, but we think that was because they weren't cooked enough... because the mushroom ones were fine
but i particularly liked the ones with goat meat in them

[ms edeity]

i made an awesome laksa....narrowly avoided a dog, slipped on water they spilled from their bowl....and wore it.

OMFG. I went to eat Japanese at Iwa in Chatswood tonight and ate wagyu and veg cooked by myself of a charcoal fire. I also downed some sake that didn't taste disgusting; as a result, I am happily slipping into a sake induced stupor tonight.

[Glompbot]

I made a bulk amount of vegetable meat and barley stew

Contained:
1 lamb shank (needs more, next time i'll get a soup bone and some chunks of steak like i use in the goulash)
vegetable and beef stock cubes
celery, carrot, various herbs, potato, barley.

its very hearty, but i need more flavour in it next time, its a bit bland... less barley next time if I use more meat.

These stews are awesome, i've been cooking in bulk, and freezing and then when I'm feeling lazy i grab one and heat.

Since I live in newtown and have gorged myself on takeout, i'm getting really sick of thai and currys... so i'm trying to make as many of the foods i ate when growing up as possible

vegetable beef and barley is something my grandma made

there is another variant which is more broth like that has some weird home made eggish noodle... i wish i knew what it was...

the noodles are called spaetzle, and they're made with egg flour and a bit of water, and you drop them in chunks into boiling water, which is why they're so ugly looking.

aparantly you're supposed to use a thing to press them through before they drop into the water, but i CBF... cause grandma never made them like that

A ricer. I've got one, they're fucking magic. Make the best mashed potatoes ever.

[nrejones]

OMFG. I went to eat Japanese at Iwa in Chatswood tonight and ate wagyu and veg cooked by myself of a charcoal fire. I also downed some sake that didn't taste disgusting; as a result, I am happily slipping into a sake induced stupor tonight.

Free range Japanese are tastier.

[BtrFly]

I having bruschetta. i have already made my topping (3 tomatoes, shallots, handful of so of basil, and salt, with lemon olive oil), and all i need to do is get the herb bread out of the freezer (i know lazy mans way of doing it...) and top with mixture and a little parmasen and stick into the grill :)

Leftover lamb and salad...if I can be arsed.

The lamb was leftover from a bbq on Anzac Day. It was a de-boned leg, that I had marinated in random mix that I made with about twenty dried kashmiri chillies, cumin, lashings of ground black pepper, a dash of honey, a bulb of garlic and some freshly ground walnuts.

[Elentari]

Since I am home alone tonight I am making myself chicken parmigiana and it is smelling very delicious. I was planning on having left overs from last night (meatballs with a spicy tomato sauce and couscous) but we ate it all last night.

[FatherShark]

Home alone tonight and feeling unmotivated. I'm just going to have some snags!

[ms edeity]

we have a 'sposed ta.

'sposed ta go out for dinner, probably going to eat soup.

[Glompbot]

missed out on having pork chops and knodel because a friend invited me out to a housewarming, where i had a blast...

she made up for it by taking me to burger fuel.... it was a sacrafice i was willing to make, burger fuel is awesome

I've got another friend coming over for lunch so i'll have pork chops and knodel now.... since they're already defrosted nd stuff.

I was right, I couldn't be arsed making a salad. Instead, I thought about using the lamb to make a wellington (I've been watching too much Gordon Ramsey!) but decided the shape was too irregular.

So I cooked up some bacon and mushroom and made something that kind of resembled struedel and called it a lamb gumboot.

Made some spaghetti last night. Yum! For some reason, spaghetti always makes more of a mess than fettucuni or sheets, was worth it though - the sauce was delish.

[Glompbot]

a wellington?

[Munchkin]

a wellington?

It's basically meat thats wrapped in a pastry. It's pretty nice if you can get a good cut of meat. Beefwellington is nice but I always leave the pate out because I am really not keen on it .

I was super 1337 last night and baked an apple pie from scratch, using home grown apples from my inlaw's neighbours. Mmmmm still have half left for tonight.

[Glompbot]

ooh, i'm going to attempt to make an apple and rhubarb crumble next time I have guests over for a meal.
:D
it'll be fun

A French restaraunt near my place does beef wellington and they put pate on the meat before wrapping it in pastry. It's fantastic! :D I'm a big fan of yorkshire puddings and beef wellingtons.

Tonight i'm making braised beef with mushrooms and onions. I better get started b/c it has to be in the oven for two hours. Eep.

[Elentari]

Made a fantastic rogan josh last night, I think its one of the best ones I have done. I absolutely love making curries, they are my specialty :D They are just so tasty when use all freshly ground whole spices for them and it really helps having somewhere near by that I can get quality meat from.

Tonight Sanura is cooking dinner so I am not too sure what we are having.

[banga]

since there has been no word from elentari since this post , we must assume sanuras cookin killed her .

[Benwah]

Slow cooker based casserole tonight, beef strips (cooked in flour first), veg and onion and mushroom and a glug of wine, all in the trusty sunbeam slow cooker. Dudes, if you don't have one of these things you should get one they are cheap as (sub $50) and make any cut of meat tasty.

I'd have to second this, pop it all in before you go to work, come home to warm house smelling of yumminess - it is especially awesome in winter.

Although, don't cheat and omit the browning of the meat before hand, or you'll feel like you are about to embark on an unappealling looking bowl of bleh with added grey.

It is the only way I have ever found to make chicken soup unappettising.

I had pork chops and salad for dinner tonight. My husband makes the best salads and dressings. Second only to his mother :)

[Ic3]

Tonight? Tonight we came home to left over soup, nuked for as long as it takes to make some stale bread into cheesy paprika toast.

Boring? Yes. Especially when compared to what we had last night. We took the Gastronomes option and it went like this:

LIÈVRE POCHÉ - Poached loin of hare topped with a bay leaf mousse, leg meat and polenta dumplings, bread sauce

FONDUE DE BOEUF WAGYU - Grade 12 Blackmore wagyu served into a beef consommé topped with a beer air, partnered with fried shallots, pomme mille feuille, spinach mousse and a beignet of bone marrow

FROMAGE - Roy de Vallées with marinated beetroot Pyrénées, France

Some funky fermented red peach juice with dry ice.

DESSERT DU GARCON - Dessert selection at waiters discretion

Which for us was a passion fruit tart and soufflé.

Following was this was the amazing smoking cigar;

NOTRE SÉLECTION DE CAFÉS, THÉS, INFUSIONS ET PETITS-FOURS
A selection of coffee, teas, infusions and miniature teacakes

We had some amazingly wonderful wines matched, including an amazing chenin blanc that blew my mind.
