I may have had a little too much fun with this, but I can't resist showing you all the food I made for my birthday party a couple of weeks ago. It was kind of whimsical, fancy-dress themed, and I got a little carried away XD. To name but a few: skull-shaped cake balls, heart and spade jam tarts, chequerboard cake, dalek & TARDIS shaped sugar cookies... ( A couple of photos under the theoretical cut.. ) |

Oh food_porn! Can you please help me? I recently read a recipe for banana bread that was a super-easy, 5 minutes, one-bowl type dealie, and I'm certain I saw it here... But I can't find it when I search the archives! I thought I had bookmarked it, but maybe I did that at work, which is obviously no help to me now. Of course, I've wasted more time trying to find the recipe than it would take to make a more complicated one, but I'm feeling stubborn and silly. :P Do you remember seeing that recipe recently? Can you point me towards it, please? Thank you! And just so this isn't a request-only post, I'll share with you the tale of my $3.50 pink lemon. ( the story and photos are under here ) |

Recommendations please, and today's lunch Hello everyone! I am going to an engagement party tomorrow. We have been requested to maybe bring some wine to celebrate, but I also would like to bring a little munchy. I asked the future bride, and she said the theme is Mexican. That confused me a bit - I was going to look for recipes that go along with wine, but the Mexican theme threw me off. It looks like there might be 40 people there; any ideas that would go over well as an appetizer (or even dessert!) given the constraints of theme and wine? Sounds weird to me too... Here also is today's lunch: stuffed squash with my ground beef and a modification to Kay's country parm potatoes (I mash mine up a bit as I like how the spices and flavors distribute that way,and used a yellow pepper).

Casseroles
Does anyone have any good pictures of a casserole? I want to take some pictures of mine but I'm finding it hard to make a picture of a gooey mess of a casserole to look inticing. Care to share?

whiting fillets in a sauce bercy copyrighted le cordon bleu...my first day of school  So I started school in Paris. The learning curve is up a rock face. I don't know if I have permission to distribute this, but I didn't go into details in the recipe. Here's the plate I made second day of class. I love cooking school. It's probably the best thing that's happened to me since sliced bread met smoked turkey and yellow mustard. Je suis declasse (accents there if I was any good at french). Below the cut is some form of narrative and a couple more pics. </div> |

Rocket In A Blanket  I have been deliberating for the longest time whether this recipe should be posted. It isn’t exactly rocket science…it doesn’t even involve any cooking at all, but it is darn tasty and pretty unique. It is a nice variation to the usual melon wrapped with parma ham. I am a huge fan of rocket.Click here to read more and for the recipe |

Canning season is here!
Well, that time is here again. For the past couple of weeks I have been busy making pickles, jams and jellies. So far I have made 7 half pints of strawberry jam, 14 half pints of raspberry jelly, 7 pints of raspberry jam, 14 half pints of cucumber relish, 14 half pints of dilly relish(tastes like dill pickles), 14 pints of bread and butter pickles, 21 quarts and 13 pints of dill pickles, 3 1/2 pints of chokecherry syrup and 15 half pints of chokecherry jelly. I still have 4 litres of chokecherry juice left so will make more chokecherry jelly and more syrup. The syrup is great on pancakes, waffles, ice cream and in milk. Right now I have two large stainless steel bowls on the kitchen counter filled with cauliflowerettes, silverskin onions and cucumber slices in a salt water brine. They will eventually become sweet mixed pickles, about 14 to 16 pints.
My friends can expect some good things for Christmas this year. I also saved some raspberry juice and will be making raspberry/apple jelly later on, as well as cinnamon apple jelly. I had to pick cucumbers this year to make all my dills and this is the first time in years that I had to buy dill to make my dill pickles. That just goes to show how bad the garden was this year, as well as late. There is lots of dill out there growing but it may not head up as it is still all green and only a few are topping out. I have a couple of nice zucchinis out in the garden so will be making a batch of zucchini peach jam too. It is made with grated zucchini and peach jelly powder for flavor. It is my grandson's favorite jam. I should take a picture of my pantry so you can see all the goodness stored there. I will have to do another post with pictures. I apologize for not posting for awhile but it's been a really bad summer, what with me being away for three weeks, and then gettting right into the pickling once back.
The chokecherries were abundant this year again. I picked eight 4 litre ice cream pails full. My brother-in-law got some to make jelly. Well, that's about it for now. I will post later again with pictures this time. Happy cooking and preserving everyone.

Cheesy Oysters  I had a friend coming over who has never eaten fresh oysters….so I didn’t think the al natural oyster was a good initiation. Too many things to overcome…texture and taste is quite unique. I opted for the safer option of grilling them with cheese. The cheese melted to perfection….gooey on the inside…with a nice browned crust…marvelous. The dish came out great….the creamyness of the oysters came through….and I just couldn’t get enough of them. Click here to check out the recipe and loads of pictures of the molten goodness process |

Beef and bamboo shoots First post! I've been watching and reading this community for a while but never posted. I hardly ever cook since I'm only 18 and still live with the parents, but last night my boyfriend and I cooked. Beef, bamboo shoots, green onions, garlic, sesame seeds and soy sauce served on rice. :)  ( One more.. ) |

Pork in an Aga Armed with nothing more than 1.5kg of pork belly, a two-oven Aga and a roasting tray, I started work at 8.45am. By 7pm, I produced the following:  ( How to )It tasted as good as it looked - meat just flaking off the bones and fantastically crisp crackling. Went down a storm with some roast potatoes (in goose fat, of course), green veg and apple sauce, |

Maytag Encrusted Filet with Red Wine Sauce  These were so good! I've always been a filet purist... thinking that a well prepared filet needed nothing added to it. Let the beef shine on it's own, I've always said. But this was so delicious and simple! I will definitely be making these again. Tender, flavorful and slightly crisp with the panko. Just an amazing combination. ( recipe inside with another picture ) |

Beef stew, or something..  Here's the recipe. So, I made this stew or soup, or something, and it came out rather tasty. My question to LJ soupers is: At what point does a soup become a stew and vice versa? Current Mood:  curious |
