The Cooking Thread: Pics or you didn't make it

Heres a little something taken a while ago. My plating isnt usually this dramatic but I was feeling festive.

Its a graham cracker bottomed cheesecake. I dipped half of it in a chambord raspberry coulis. Then I made dabs of salted caramel with dark chocolate buttons and some fresh fruit with a dallop of whipped cream. Garnished with a tuile shaped like something. I dunno. I was really bored.

I forgot all about this topic. I think one of the last times I posted a parmesan risotto with a roasted chicken and grilled asparagus and some of the members were talking about how hard my grains of pasta were, as it they could taste them through the picture and it pissed me the fuck off.

Your presentation is excellent - really, really nice. Maybe a bit too much going on there but I would still devour it all like it was Tuesday.

On a side note, I just picked up my Kuhn Rikon Duromatic pressure cooker. Oh, Lord, this thing is a work of art.

Portuguese rolls with the edges and top/bottoms removed.

Thanksgiving leftovers?

Didn’t bother making Thanksgiving dinner this year, feels like a “going through the motions” type task more than anything IMO. Christmas dinner on the other hand…

Butter Chicken Lasagna. You have no idea how delicious this is.

I’ll take pics next time I cook it (seeing as my friends and I fucking annihilated it)

Anyone got some good dishes with bacon as the main ingredient? Tired of my same old bacon fried rice and bacon pasta

Mr.Bastos · 2013-01-22T08:27:46.000Z

the weather has been nice recently, so I took advantage of it and busted out the smoker. Did some sausages and chicken

I made meatless chili this weekend with butternut squash and blackbean. It was way too spicy for me, going to try and ‘water’ it down by using the leftovers for chili dogs and potato skins.

I also made veggia lasagna last night. Eggplant, zucinni, mushrooms, cut up peppers, ricotta, goat cheese, mozzarella, ready made pasta, oh and carrots. I made one with a red sauce (Newman’s fire roasted & garlic…very meaty flavor) and the other with a white sauce.

:bluu:

while not food, it’s cooking related. If you’re kinda nuts like me, then you might be interested in a Thermapen. It’s a high end thermometer that is often used in the food industry. Supposed to be very accurate and very fast. They’re having an open box sale: http://www.thermoworks.com/products/thermapen/splashproof_thermapen_open_box_sale_2013.html

just got mine, shit looks brand new:

Green · 2013-01-26T06:15:05.000Z

Will do, once I cook something again I’ll let you know, though reviews for this guy are amazing so I doubt mine will be any different.
