Some incredible cooks and cooking here. Proper inspo!

Is this a restaurant?

That is so cool - might have to steal that idea

Had my brothers family round for lunch so made Cornish pasties - just in case we didn’t have enough calories yesterday.

Rough puff pastry, grated potato, swede and onion and chopped beef skirt (bavette) plus a pinch of salt and pepper and some egg glaze to stick them together and glaze the outside

Crimped at the top rather than the side as that’s how we were taught by a fisherman’s wife when living on Scilly 30 years ago

Fucking stuffed now

Absolute unit

As we're all doing pornchetta:

48 hours sous vide, then deep fried.

Top marks on the last few pages. So much winning.

48 hours sous vide, then deep fried.

It's nice to know how long things are likely to take though.

Because I left my nice probes at home.

And I'm using a strange oven.

And it's a 3kg chicken.

2.5 hours, in case your wondering. By some miracle, the breast came out at 65, and the thigh at 75.

I saw the cardiologist last week, and he said there is nothing wrong with my heart.

I took that as a challenge.

It’s like cooking in the dark ages.

Nailed it.

Tasted fine of course. Sugar, chilli, star anise and pears. Can't really screw that up

It's probably pretty close.
