What did you cook/eat today (March 2017)?

[Elawin]

I just ate shredded wheat in almond milk. I've developed a craving for shredded wheat.

I never have liked shredded weight. My aunt always used to give it to my cousins for breakfast when we were young and on the odd occasions I stayed round there I used to plead insanity. I always preferred Shreddies.

Thursday night's dinner: chicken and cauliflower curry, with dal and boiled basmati rice.

But they have sugar and other additives. I'm very impressed that shredded wheat is so 'pure'.

Don't forget in them days, sugar had only just come off rationing so even sweetened cereals were still a novelty and a treat.

And there was me thinking it was an exotic sauce.

I prefer to use dry white wine instead of red wine, also for ragù. I use it only for risotto with chicory or, as obvious, for risotto al Barolo. But I like to find out different manner of cooking

That is interesting. I nearly always use red wine in a tomato based sauce (well - tomatoes are red so it seems logical). But I have used white sometimes if there is no red wine. I can't say I notice much difference in the taste. But in risotto - are you saying you use red wine in risotto with chicory?

Yes I use red wine in risotto with chicory. For the rest I only use white wine and the taste ( for me) is different.

Artichoke heart and tomato salad with black lava salt, beetroot powder and walnut oil. Made with artichokes left over from the artichoke recipe challenge which I had marinated in lemon juice, to preserve. Talking of the Recipe Challenge, where are all those cauliflower recipes, guys?

@morning glory Where do you get beetroot powder from and how else can it be used? Is it tasty?

I bought it on line (probably via Amazon but I'm not sure). It tastes subtly of beetroot but its main purpose is as a natural colouring agent. Here I used it for appearance really. You can use it to turn food pinky red!
