That recipe looks great. I’ve got some lovely squash from my veg box so will give it a try.

Aubergine and parmesan stuffed pasta (bought) with smoked oil, butter, crushed garlic and finely chopped, freshly picked sage. Lots of parmesan on top.

I can move now as I cooked panfried salmon pieces in a pan in which onion, cumin powder, fresh ginger, chipotle paste, rice vinegar, dark sugar and hint balsamic then tinned tom and sweltered for a while, plus last minute spinach. No carbs as I might still have time to make a tiramissu tonight, so had to leave room for dessert, or breakfast :mrgreen:

Amazing that such a diversity of food being cooked on here given we're more or less all in semi lockdown!

PS Roast spud envy neverthelless. I feel tomorrow coming on for some :)

I requested a roast dinner and he complied.
What a good boy.

Not sure I will be happy when I stand on the scales tomorrow, although we did walk 7 miles this morning.

Seven miles eh? That's 1,760 yards per mile x 3 for feet = 39,960 feet. Nice dinner was well deserved :clap

A busy weekend - made some stuff for a kid´s party, but the most important was an Indian Lunch for 12.
All went well, fortunately, although anyone who has ever eaten Indian food in the UK would wonder where the heck the heat was.

Venezuelans do NOT like hot food, but they DO like hot sauce. The difference is, if all the food is hot, they don´t like it. (Wimps) :gonzo :gonzo But you put a hot sauce on the side and they lap it up.
Different strokes for different folks!

I’ve also been admiring the serving dishes, KKA. Plus the food, of course.
And is that a huge banana leaf it’s all being served on?

Thanks, Wolfgirl! Yes, it´s a banana leaf; in fact there were two on the table and it made for a wonderful spread.
Little did I know, but one of the guests runs an "Events" company. She set up all the decoration, the tables and the buffet. Very impressive indeed; all I had to do was cook !

What an amazing spread KK!

I used Mak Tok Malaysian curry paste with chicken, different coloured peppers, coconut milk and served with bok choy with a sauce made with Kikkoman soy sauce, fried shallots, small amount sugar, 1/4 tsp. cornflour and 1T of water. I sprinkled fried shallots over the bok choy.

You might have seen William Chew with his Mak Tok products on Dragons Den.

Wow! What a lovely looking dish, Renée!
Love bok choy, and probably even more if it´s slathered with onions!!

I had a nice fillet of pork so decided to do Lizzy Davids Pork with prunes but instead of soaking the prunes in white wine, I used (up) some red french basic. It is smelling very Christmasy in my kitchen. Can't wait until supper. :yum :yum

Que rico KDKA! You have been busy!

Great looking dish, Renee.

Must do something curry soon. Haven't for a while.

Meat and potato pies. I wanted to make Mr Zero a proper pie so it was Felicity Cloake's recipe halved making 2 pies and fused with Paul Hollywood's. FC's suet pastry using butter. Never been a fan of suet. PH cooks the meat before filling which I prefer. Baked 1 hr @ 200°C. What a great crust and what a tasty dish. One pie was more than enough for two. Pastry fantastic. I'm not usually a meat n potatoes person but this was a thing of beauty. Banished the winter blahs, true comfort food cmon!

Mmm Pie. And other luvverly grub :)

I made a simple honey tamari glaze (not marinade) for salmon pieces yesterday, with a rich compound tom sauce; a cold half baguette version today of the salmon with a sort of cayenne'd/rice vinegar'd Marie Rose dip. T'other half of the baguette became a pizza base with a spot of the tom sauce, gruyere, an anchovy, chopped sundried tom and black olives. All good.
