What did you cook/eat today (January 2020)?

[Herbie]

Cold soup us something I've never been inspired to make, but I like

Tonight is cauliflower cheese - which in this case is large florets of cauliflower roasted in thyme & a little olive oil until slightly charred. Then a bechamel sauce with Gruyere and Parmesan poured over. Salted capers and crumbled fried bacon & chilli sprinkled over the top. Last time I made this it was a vegan version with toasted almonds and seeds in place of bacon and a vegan 'cheese' sauce. I need to write up that recipe! Here is the vegan version I made which looks very similar to tonight's.

Please post your vegan recipe. I've had a little try with vegan cheese sauce but not much.

Looks delicious. What cheeses did you use?

Sunday lunch at the restaurant supply store.
Beef croquettes for me and a meatball in gravy for my husband. They make it all on site.

Mini pizzas again. Three with tomato sauce and one with salsa (I didn't defrost enough of the former). In order to beef up the heat I added sliced fresh Thai hot chillis and it beefed the heat up substantially. The meat was a mixture of pepperoni and salami.

I will do - it worked really well. It was the only one I've ever made that did! You will need aminos & nutritional yeast.

Thanks! I used extra sharp cheddar, Muenster, Gruyere, and cream cheese. The recipe was from a cookbook put out by Food & Wine magazine.

A well earned lunch

This evening my wife made smokey chicken and chickpea stew with garlic yoghurt on the side. A new recipe to us and something I will be making her cook again.

Last night was meant to have been hot again, so first thing yesterday morning, I was busy cooking this soup, changing the cooking method for the beetroot to drop the cooking time down from 75 minutes to 15 minutes plus cooling down time.

Instead of the forecast 32°C (almost 12°C cooler than the day before) it was a stunning 12°C instead (a staggering 32°C cooler than 24hrs previously) but that was due to dense smoke haze all day.

Eating a cold soup when it's 12°C out reminded me of why we never are them in the UK.

I served it with hot IKEA veggie balls to warm us up.
