To choose a surprising as slightly surreal but happy take on a subject, the photo from halfateabag's link that struck me was the pumpkin given pride of place in the grandiose still life setting
Re steak or meat with no juices, a mushroom one wasn't mentioned yet often figures. I'm reminded of the complex USA "white gravy" that mark111757 told us about.

Re: Foodies In The News
Meat sauces? I´d say the article doesn´t go much further than French ( the hollandaise he describes sounds like a bearnaise to me) and vaguely Mediterranean, with the tomatoes. Perhaps they need to look a little further afield?
Grilled meat is extremely popular in Latin America, so you might want to look at a Mexican Mole, a creamy Peruvian Aji Verde, an Ecuadorian Ají Verde, or even a Bolivian Llajua ( tomato, coriander, basil and green chiles).
Maybe chermoula from North Africa, or a footi, from Guinea/Senegal?
Then there´s a harijali pudina in India - not that they eat beef, but it works; as would a curry sauce. In Indonesia they make a glorious sauce called ketjap manis, which is soy, ginger, garlic, brown sugar and star anise, which I have used with stir-fried beef. Or a Vietnamese dipping sauce for grilled beef, with soy, sugar and rice vinegar, not to mention the options with soy, oyster sauce, hoisin, and teryaki.

It does say they are specifically looking for the type of sauces served on MasterChef, which are generally N European
Re: Foodies In The News
The questioner in the link seemed concerned about how to achieve the luxuriant glossy effect, which was answered by "add a bit of butter", which of course is what all TV chefs we watch do and explain, so quite how the questioner could have missed that escapes me. I have no idea if it works with a drop of Bisto or Oxo cube/water though. Perhaps some people don't know that stock cartons are now "in a supermarket near you".
Pepper Pig on the the other hand asked us to discuss contenders. I'd venture that some of karadekoolaid's benefit from being versatile which is definitely a bonus.

Re: Foodies In The News
the suggestion that the first photo, glorifying a young family preparing a lock-down meal was a little misleading. to me they were preparing dumplings for sale - unless they were going to eat all of the two large tray-fulls themselves...
i'm also more than a little suspicious of the last one's veracity. i think its posed and has been 'stage-set' for impact. the reality wouldn't look that 'good'.

I can’t see how oxo/Bisto would work at all as they’re just fry powders . The reason butter gives glossiness is because of it’s high fat content

Re: Foodies In The News
I would love those KK! I always have a packet of nori on hand, in case I feel like making sushi rolls.

Smoked salmon. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/m ... ked-salmon
I love it. OH won’t even be in the same room as it.

Re: Foodies In The News
PP, I'm with you on smoked salmon
OH doesn't mind it at least - unlike your OH! - but if I get it as a treat it also means that I get to eat the lion's share of it which suits me just fine

Coffee, Cardamom, Almond & Marscapone Cake.
I know many of you read The Guardian food pages but for those who don't, this popped up this morning and I thought it looked particularly good.

Re: Foodies In The News
Earthmaiden, that coffee etc cake is booked. Me like easy cakes.
I only have cardomon pods. Maybe I can steep a couple in a drop of boiling water if I can't grind any and use that as a replacement liquid.
