Continuing the pasta trend, olive oil-poached salmon over linguini piccata

Not pictured, sautéed spinach side cut using my vintage German steel

Persian Baghali Polo Ba Mahiche (rice with broad beans and lamb shank). The rice is basically a Tahdig with broad beans and sultanas. Culturally inappropriate mediterranean mixed salad and German cucumber salad on the side. This turned out very nice and will go on the repeat list.

Something I particularly enjoy is cooking in other people‘s kitchen and making a mess in their kitchen with them having the feeling that they have to clean everything up again!

Today was no exception when I cooked Austrian comfort food:

Knife used: Shiro Kamo.

Some ma po’s and a salad

Not much cutting involved but

And the salad. I’m amazed I’m still getting lettuce from my garden in New England in mid-December. “Knife” is a Felco 11

I was thinking about the upcoming holidays, reminiscing from when I was a kid, going to my grandparents and aunt's house in Bellerose, Queens, NY for the family Christmas feast. One of my favorite foods there was the Jewish Corn Rye Bread they always had in their house. There's no actual "corn" in the bread, it's name comes from "kornbroyt", the "korn" being old Germanic for "grain" (rye). It's a different bread than regular sandwich rye, moist inside, a little sour with a chewy crust. Found a recipe online and gave it a go. Despite the loaves being sub-par aesthetically, with little oven spring, the flavor, texture and crust were pretty close to what I remember. Pass the butter!

Chicken pot pie tonight.

Man I love japchae (never met a Korean dish I disliked for that matter)

This one is vegan. Too lazy to cross a high bridge during a bomb cyclone.

Cut stuff in my misen bowls

Empty nester's tuna fish sandwich prep.

The kids get so pissed at some of my pics these days.

Another example of classic Austrian/Viennese cuisine and once again comfort food cooked in someone else’s kitchen:

Boiled beef, Semmelkren, vegetables and broth:

Knife used: Merion Forge Western gyuto 250 / 56 / 260.0g.

you're welcome to mess up my kitchen as long as you cook Austrian comfort food!

Maybe I could turn this into a business model…

Experimenting a bit with duck breast:

…with red cabbage and orange

…with sweet potato puree and edamame

…with pea puree and carrots

 

[Dan-]

Cà Ri Đậu Hũ và Nấm aka tofu and mushroom curry

Pulled out my 270 gyuto to mince the garlic since I needed a nimble knife plus there was lemongrass. Otherwise, used the 240 cleaver.

 

[shopshopshop]

Had a craving for japanese style rice bowl kinda thing. Steak on rice with some scallions and donburi sauce.

 

[Lars]

I had some leftover sausage meat, so I made a sausage patty burger - with cucumber-olive salsa in a shokupan/brioche hybrid bun. Potato wedges and sauce Heinz on the side

 

[DamageInc]

Leek and potato soup

 

[KDSDeluxe]

Chicken provencale

 

[Dan-]

Corn beef hash fried in duck fat. 100% from scratch.

My first post in this thread. Not much cutting involved in making this, but a nice lemon and passion fruit meringue tart I made for a friend's birthday.

 

[DitmasPork]

Tombo Ahi (albacore) donburi—first taste of fish on this trip.

Rigatoni with anchovies, garlic, chili and broccoli.

Frittata with homemade sriracha.

 

[Lars]

Potato and chorizo tacos with red and green salsas, habanero hot sauce, white onion and cilantro.

 

[MarcelNL]

Bunch of enablers

Nice - in the words of my Mexican culinary spirit animal Rick Bayless “it takes two minutes to explain how to make a tortilla, but it takes two years to master”. Enjoy the ride..!

looking forward to it, I detect similar sadomasochistic tendencies in myself wanting to master Pizza and roasting Coffee so it should be fine ;-)

Felcos are the best. Mine is one that my father already used.
