That looks really good. I've made this version before.

Tonight was all about full appropriation.

Sous vide teriyaki chicken(all four hours of it), cavolo nero and smoked streaky bacon okonomiyaki, and tamago kake gohan to use up the ton of shichimi togarashi I made awhile back and barely seem to use.

Had to use store bought dashi stock reduced right down, as had no kombu or hondashi.

Presentation meh, because super hungry.

looks like some bangin bubble n squeak there

So many words, so few meanings in my head.

Looks tasty, mind.

Saw Alex Szrok make poor knights of Windsor last night before bed and I think I’m gonna have to make it today or else

brought some day old ciabatta from my local bakery last week, and am going to use it today to make some bread and tomato soup. Had it once when I was in Italy and it was amazing, have made it a couple of times since, and felt like a good time to try it again. Mine won't be proper authentic (Jamie Oliver recipe) and I'm going to pour in a jar of butternut squash puree which I accidentally defrosted on the weekend.

Edit: eating now, lovely

Any tips for homemade pasta? Gave this a go, pretty good results but feel I'm missing something:

I need to talk about offal.

What’s a nice entry level thing to go for? I’m tempted by calf’s liver. I’ve watched a couple of YouTube videos, seems easy enough to cook.

Venetian liver is easy to cook and easy to like:

When mespilus jt. was a toddler,
we started off with chicken liver and lamb tongue.

Chicken hearts are tasty and easy to cook

Any recipes?

Bull testicles are surprisingly tasty and easy to cook.

Diced chicken liver added to a bolognese/ragu is quite something.

If you can locate ox tongue and boil/peel/press it, you’ll have delicious sandwich filling for ages. I used to go to a farm butcher (not the fancy “farm shop” kind just a butcher on a farm) and occasionally they’d have too much ox tongue so they’d sell them for £3 a time. Bout 1.5kg+ there.

Wife has largely nixed my offal eating.

Bought some choccy digestives today.

Get some lemon curd and the thread can eat it's own tail.

How it started:

chocolate digestives with lemon curd.

How it's going:

lamb's tongues and bull's testicles

Thirteen years of conservative government, in a nutshell.

Is this true or are you Joshing?

Thanks, I’ll try that. I’ll be honest I find the Korma recipe a little unsatisfying… never really lives up to the hype.

This feels like a good starting point. If I hide it in there my wife might not even notice

I remember it being a little wet when cooking the chicken, so it was hard ti get the slight crisped edges (I think I over-yoghurted the marinade).

Here's another one that's been good enough it's written up (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/dec/11/game-recipes-hugh-fearnley-whittingstall)

The google doodle last week was for Filipino Adobo, a dish I had never heard of. I tried this recipe tonight and it was pretty good, I will definitely do it again:

Homemade bread, thick lashings of butter, confit garlic and maldon salt. It was absolutely sublime.
