Dr Gloom 24243 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) On 06/01/2013 at 10:21, Christmas Tree said: This recipe calls for celery leaves! Can you buy celery with leaves on? Also quite a few of the recipes call for dry white wine. Is it a case of the better the wine the better the recipe will turn out? If so, what's a good dry white wine (that I could get at a local supermarket). You could get a nice Chablis for under a tenner. Half a bottle for your dish, the rest for you.

Christmas Tree 5343 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Wagyu Fillets Mr Fist The butcher in Asda told me they play music to the cattle, massage them and generally cater for there every whim, prior to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 16787 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 This is mental like, I mention the book in passing then head to Newcastle for a quick trip and in that time you've tracked it down, tried half the recipes and even found it a dedicated shelf.

Magnificent devotion to the cause. I havent got a hobby at the moment. Also made the cinnamon biscuits (our lass did actually) alright but too much like those small foreign biscuits you get with coffee. So thats 3 down, 1497 to go.

Meenzer 16787 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thought I'd dip my toe into the Silver Spoon with an unfuckable-uppable classic, namely spaghetti carbonara. Worked a treat, simple as you like and not too creamy and rich. Better quality pancetta than what Lewisham Sainsbury's has to offer would have helped, too - there's an Italian deli opposite the shopping centre that I really must get to know. Obviously greater challenges lie ahead on the aforementioned 1500 pages, but at least it seems to have the basics right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Chilli tonight. Basically everything but the kitchen sink as they say: Beef mince Red Onion Red & green peppers 1 tsp Chilli powder 2 tsp Chilli flakes 1 tsp Garlic powder and 2 cloves of garlic (why not?) 1 tsp Cadbury's Bourneville chocolate powder 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp muscovado sugar 1/2 tsp black pepper 50ml Dia de las Muertas (tequila-based hot sauce) 200ml beef stock 1 can chopped tomatoes 1 can kidney beans 1 can brown chickpeas 1 desert spoon red onion chutney 1 desert spoon ketchup 1 desert spoon mustard Gave it the good 2 and a half hours and grated a bit of cheddar on top to finish. Enough leftover to have for tea on wednesday providing I stop grazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
