  1. Ann_T - blanquette de veau, something I always plan to make and never end up making. Looks delicious.

    What recipe do you use

    Patrick, I use a recipe that I've had for more than 25 years. It was a recipe from a newspaper - The Toronto Star. I'll be happy to send it to you, if you would like.

  2. Paul, Love the idea of meatballs and mashed potatoes - Comfort food.

    A "loose" version of a Teppanyaki Steak dinner.

  3. Minas6907, Wow, beautiful baguettes.

    Tri2Cook, I agree with Anna. Love olive bread.

    I started a 12 cup batch of bread dough on Monday, with the addition of a biga.

    Baked three baguettes on Monday, and used another 1/3 of the dough today

  4. Basquecook, Bone marrow, what a great starter. And beautifully cooked steak. You can tell by looking, just from the colour and the texture that this was a traditionally cooked steak and not Sous vide. Perfect!!!

  5. Scubadoo, I would love your dinner. Reminds me that I still have lamb in the freezer.

    Bruce, your make store bought naan look great.

    MM, your turbot is so beautifully plated.

  6. Nickrey, that is my favourite way to make roasted potatoes. Par Boil, drain and back into the pot, shake the pan over low heat to dry and rough up the potatoes before adding to the hot fat.

    Rotus, Thank you. I agree, not a big fan of roasts with lots of excess fat.

    Norm, YUM! Chicken and Dumplings, pure comfort food. I also prefer drop dumplings . I'd feel deprived though if I only had them once a year. Not something I get tired of.

    I use unwaxed dental floss to stitch up boned chicken/turkey. Easy to remove. One quick pull and it slides right out.

  7. Some spectacular meals here.
    Prawncrackers, your photos are fantastic. Great lighting. Beautifully plated.

    Nickrey, As much as I love duck, it is the roasted potatoes that has my mouth watering.

    Dcarch, great idea using scallion dough to make a pizza.

    Cookalong, I like how you plated the lamb chops.

    Miraklegirl, I have to disagree too. If I served your dinner to my husband he would be a very, very happy man.

    Keith, beautiful job boning out those birds. I cheat and cut down the back. Requires a little more suturing. Love the cutting board.

    Grilled a small prime rib. Just big enough for two slices.

  8. I love Naan, and have over the years tried various methods for making it. BUT, it is never the same as Naan that is baked in a tandoori oven. Unless you have a tandoori oven, the naan will never have that flavour that I associate with Naan. So when I make a curry dinner, I make Chapati.

  9. Ann_T: That looks like a fabulous griddle! I have a paella pan of the same material and am amazed at it's versatility. I was wondering if you'd be able to serve the fixings right from the griddle - that is, placing the griddle on the table while it is still sizzling. I was just thinking of the sizzling hot plates restaurants use when serving fajita.

    Dejah, that is exactly what I did. Served right off the griddle. If this pan was slightly smaller, it would be even more versatile. But it is just slightly too big to fit in the oven.

  10. My son is home for a couple of days. Promised him Mexican tonight and Prime Rib tomorrow night.

    I have this huge cast iron round griddle given to me by a neighbour a few years ago that I had never used. But I used it twice in the last week to make a couple of stir fry type dishes - one with pork the other with beef tenderloin. I don't think I will use my wok again. It was perfect for tonight's Chicken Fajitas.

    Marinated the chicken in a little of the homemade salsa.

  11. Ann_T: I dread it every time you have a post with halibut. Drives me crazy with WANT...We do get it once in a while "fresh" as opposed to frozen. I never seem to be able to keep it from drying out a bit. Any guidance on cooking juicy halibut?

    Dejah, It doesn't matter whether you pan fry, grill, or finish off in the oven, just don't over cook it.

    The halibut last night was fresh, but the season comes to an end in a few day and then I'll have to settle for frozen until March. Even the frozen isn't bad, since it is flash frozen at sea.
