You mentioned wanting to cook the perfect pheasant breast elsewhere - and I was going to say, 'you have a sous-vide, vac pack it with some goose fat and herbs'. I hope to get a sous-vide for Xmas.

I hope you do too! Will open up a whole new world of cooking.
I think they will take about 35 mins at 62 deg C, then browned off in a pan. I am going to try to replicate a sauce I had whilst eating out recently - white wine, apple and smoked bacon.

Looks great. French onion soup is a lovely thing. Did you use sherry in it?

No, I forgot, although the recipe did say that it was optional. It did have a cup of white wine along with the beef stock, and I finished it with a slice of bone marrow for extra unctiousness. I'd not made it for years, and had forgotten how good it is.

What's in the marinade?

For two 250 gm fillet steaks it would be:
1 tblsp Honey
4 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp Chili powder
1 tsp Paprika
2 tblsp Balsamic vinegar
1 tblsp Olive oil
Salt and pepper

But I was not impressed. Slightly on the wrong side of OK. I shall stick to my norm in future.

Cauliflower and béchamel sauce was excellent.

That looks good steak. Where is the egg? :unsure:
 
Over the past few days I made a large batch of falafel and humus with crudite for a Christmas party that was then cancelled due to the weather. Goopd thing we both like falafel! I also made a mock Portuguese soup (I didn't have all the right ingredients but the flavour was similar) I always make this for my husband when he is ill as it is the soup his grandmother made. Next time I make it properly I will share the recipe.

It is snowing again so I'm thinking tonight might be store-cupboard daal and rice. I have a bag of spinach so will be saah daal, or a daal and saag aloo. And my apple pickle!
