Never really craved homemade burgers until I started making these. Now I want them all the time. I also want to serve them to everyone I know so I can show them what they are missing.

They look really succulent Kim! May I ask for a recipe, or what makes them so good? I just bought a Kenwood stand mixer with the mincer attachment and I am going to start making burguers at home.

Here you go, Enrique. It's more of a method than a recipe, but it makes the best burger. Tender and juicy.

Amazing looking dish panaderia!

Thank you nikki. It was so delicious that I was sad I only had enough blossom to make that much - I could easily have cooked up the other half-pound of mangrove shrimp and just kept eating.... Would you like the recipe?

ETA - also, Mmmm, I'm positively puce with envy over your morels and truffles.... The season down here is so breif as to be nonexistant. :hmmm:

Robirdstx – thanks for the sausage info – I’ve saved a link in my favorites to order sometime. It sounds like something that both of us would love. Your pizzas are super and when I saw your gratin, it made me wish that I’d insisted on making it for Easter.

Thanks, Kim, that gratin was so good. I need to make it more often myself.

Marinated Cod with Brussel Sprouts and Mashed Potatoes

Cod was marinated in basil, garlic, olive oil and then pan fried. Brussel sprouts were tossed in balsamic vinegar, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Baked in a 375F oven for 20 minutes. I now need to provide my mashed potatoes skills... :hmmm:

What is the chicken coated in? Did you use activa or just rely on chicken to bind naturally after cooking?

The chicken leg is coated in a chicken mousse made from breast meat .I added a bit of polyphosphate to the mousse itself, to help bind the chicken with the creme fraiche, and just spread that on with a spatula. Cooked sous vice, with no use of transglutanimase.

Stash – you are probably right. And I noticed those gougères on FB (I think I ‘liked’ them) – tremendously fabulous idea!!!!

PC – that shrimp dish is just GORGEOUS!!! Is dcarch visiting you :wink: ? Seriously, girl – that may be the prettiest dish of the week!

Shane – your sweet potatoes are beautiful.

Patrick – you are KILLING me with the tahdigs. Enough!

FrogPrincesse – Tart art.

EnriqueB – fine-looking dishes, especially the Cream of cauliflower with red beet chips.

C. sapidus – Very good combination of ingredients, your Parsi chicken curry.

Pasta primavera – Very sophisticated plating. The swirl design of the plate echoes the shape of the shrimps.

SobaAddict70 – mine Pasta primavera never can look as good as yours.

avaserfi – Nothing fancy, simple and good. The only way to enjoy dry-aged hanger steak.

robirdstx – I keep looking at your Chicken Marsala. I think I am going to make that next week.

patrickamory – WOW! Nice Persian recipes.

mm84321 – Very well thoughtout and beautiful dishes.

Kim – that is a very pretty salad, and well–balanced health-wise. Sinfully good NY Times burger.
