Cabbage with Bacon & Apples

May 17th 2010 07:10

I'm not sure where Rach got this recipe, but it's in her/our spiral scrap/notebook (something that everyone who's into cooking should have) which I wanted to take some photos of 'cept I cant find the battery charger... anyway, rather than re-type this bit of deliciousness I thought I'd see how the scanner works for such things. (Also, in other blog related news, I've found some more young chefs & will send them questions & see how I go there. In non-blog related news, finished and passed my NEIS course, huzarr, & have started keying up some singing students).

Started a NEIS course

March 15th 2010 04:37

To help with my Chidlren's music. I've been thinking long and hard about the different things I'm interested in and have decided that that is the one I'm most likely to be able to make a living out of. I still like cooking enough to want to interview chefs. I bought Julie & Julia for my wife as part of her birthday present Saturday, so, y'know, blogging about food is still a thing I think about, but it's just not going to become my focus. haha.

Um, Rach's browning some lamb shoulder right now, I'm not sure what for.

Oh, and I made my first cake the other day! (yes, Id never made a cake before).

It was a vegan chocolate cherry cake. Tasted quite good. Nice and moist. Might have used too much cider-vinegar. I'm not sure who owns the recipe, I'll check and get back to you with it sometime.

James has been cooking in Antarctica!

January 15th 2010 05:22

James, the young cook whom I three part interviewed earlier on this sparse blog, has been preparing meals for people in Antarctica.

Yes, I respond to your thoughts, of course I'll be re-interviewing him shortly so you can all learn about it.

He was in touch recently and insisted I do so in fact.

So, anything in particular you'd like to know? (oo! Readers questions!)

Jamess Interview Part 1

February 4th 2009 23:04

So, we finally get to my original intention for this blog! Instead of writing about my own recipes or reviewing food, like most other foodie blogs, I wanted to Interviewing young chefs (and cooks etc) about their jobs and what they love about food and cooking. (Who knows, I might discover the next celebrity chef).

Some time ago I tracked down three young chef's working in different kinds of eateries and sent them a bunch of questions

Hey baby, what've you been cooking?

October 10th 2008 03:14

Good question. I've been very busy in the kitchen, actually...

I’ve steamed peas, beans, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, squash, broccoli, zucchini and cauliflower. I’ve stewed apple and pears, baked fish, boiled eggs yolk and fried minced lamb

Should I tell my friends?

August 29th 2008 00:33

Some people know from a very young age. They may not have a word for it, but they know. It’s just the way they are.

Others, however, don’t make the realisation for a very long time. Nothing happened to change them. It wasn’t a decision they made. It just took a while for them to be self aware enough to overcome social expectations

Sounds like love, but what's the sigh for?

August 16th 2008 06:08

Right, I'll have none of that `you can use water or skim-milk' malarkey thank you very much.

If you're gonna scramble eggs, it has to be a tablespoon of CREAM per egg, consarn it
