The Foodie thread

[Lee909]

2 chicken breast topped with tomato,avacado,garlic,chilli,onion and a slice of mexicana cheese and smoked humous

[Pidge]

Prawn and Chorizo spaghetti, tomato and chilli sauce from scratch with red onion and lemon juice. Made it up as I went along, but it's simple stuff. Bloody lovely too.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Going all in with the bread machine. Haven't bought a loaf since. Favourite so far is the French bread setting. The brioche was good too. I'm just using recipes from the instruction manual so far to find my feet but am experimenting putting some wholemeal flour in.

 

Best £15 ever

Scouse. Not had a pan in years

 

Always have red cabbage and pickled onions with it too

Nah there’s plenty of meat in there.

Repped, Scouse is boss. Have to admit I was tempted to neg you, for the whole carrot, huge chunks of potato and not having the red cabbage on the side. 9/10 for effort, although if I'm being honest, it looks a bit turd.

Last couple of breads in the machine have been disappointing, seem to be only half risen.  I bough Aldi strong white bread flour (as opposed to Allisons) and have been using Alisons easybake yeast rather than the sainsburys sachets which I was using.

 

I thought flour was just flour and the yeast is being kept in the fridge as per instructions so not sure what's going on

We’ve had this. I think it’s something to do with the order the ingredients are put into the pan and how they then combine or not

I followed the instructions as per the instructions, water, butter/oil, salt, flour, yeast.  One thing I didn't do with this one though (as I set it to come on at about 2am so we had it for morning) was check it to make sure all the flour had mixed in and there's nothing in the corners which is something I usually do.  

 

The bread is edible but it's bigger one side than the other and has sort of a "split" near the top.  I'm just a perfectionist.  WE GO AGAIN

Oh I know that feeling. And the disappointment.

 

The split makes it sound like it had got too hot in the early part of cooking. Curious

I'm going through all the various settings at the minute (there's loads) the best one was the French Bread 100g loaf.  The one last night was "sandwich bread" I'm assuming they all have various differences in temperature.  I'm also aware that I got a discounted Aldi machine rather than a £200 Panasonic wonder-one so I accept that the equipment might not be superb.

 

One we've eaten the loaf of failure I'll do a french one again exactly as I did before to get back on form.

 

I have to say the Brioche I did on the weekend was fantastic.  Tempted to do some pizza dough this weekend as we love home made Pizza in the Dangerously household but I do make an absolute mess

We use certain excellent Greek pita breads from our local supermarket for pizzas.

[Remmie]

For a bit of experimentation give fresh yeast a go. You can get it for free or very cheap from the bakery section of a supermarket

[Lee909]

Chicken and veg fajitas

 

Made with the pockets/boat type wraps

 

Sweetcorn rekish,smoked humous and a bit of bbq chili sauce. Peppers,mushrooms, onions and shredded chicken

[Dr Nowt]

Made a really nice Goan fish curry this week and a belt and braces pork stroganoff.

 

Not cooked in ages and always forget how much the kitchen to myself, music on and cooking is one of my favourite places to be.

It’s where I want to be every evening.

[Chip Butty]

For all you Pizza dough makers out there, work about a 6th of your flour mix, with Semolina flour. Makes all the difference.

 

Yeast eh, crazy mofo's

Doing a home made pepperoni pizza this evening.

Forgot the pic

 

Forget the blurriness of the pic. Those look a damn sight more appealing than that chicken and houmous thing you posted before.

[Lee909]

Yeah my camera is shit

 

The chicken things looked far better on the plate than the pic. Dont let that put you off doing them though.

 

Cut up onion,avacado and chilli and crush into a paste and spoon on top of chocken and add cheese.

 

Lovely

 

Also im not big on food presentation.
