He's a very talented chef - don't be such a fuddy-duddy epicuric! I'm working on my splash technique henceforth.

A 'Plan B' lunch - hastily put together store cupboard ingredients - pasta carbonara. It was good.

What should have been lunch became supper - tomato tarte tatin. This was well worth the three hours it took, and may end up as a puff pastry challenge entry.

Served with a goats cheese and walnut salad.

How did the tatin take 3 hours?

Glory glory hal....... I don't wish to appear to be a culinary Luddite but I prefer art to be hung on a wall.

Yeah yeah - and I'm not going to start a thread about it. The reactions would be too predictable. Off to practice...

I'm afraid (or not) that my cooking/eating tastes are far from Bohemian.

Sprout& carrot mash with Indonesian gravy and meatloaf. No pic because it honestly wasn't pretty but tasted great.

How did the tatin take 3 hours?

The tomatoes had to caramelise in a low oven for 2 hours, then the onions for 25 mins, then the whole thing assembled and baked for another 30 mins.

Lovely! And did you have something to dip them in?

Not really, I am not very used to sauces, I only enjoyed them as simple as they were

 

[MypinchofItaly]

Just for fun but it was good - Banana sushi in puff pastry

Ordered a meat samosa and shrimp/crab curry from a local restaurant. This was a disappointment, the curry was very mild and the crab tasted like nothing. The samosa was good albeit small

I have seen samosas that small in Doha, Qatar. But at least there was half a dozen of them!

Yeah, to eat like crisps at least!
