Shaya Oh God, this looks soooo good. Such a rich dish.

Marlene you definitely have a way with beef. Gorgeous steak.

Wendy I'd love a bowl of your chili.

Last night's dinner was grilled sausage with penne.

Priscilla: I hope you like the five-spice chicken, it is one of our favorites.

Meredithla: Few things are funkier than funky chicken. Nice plan B!

Infernoo: That pork looks insanely good.

Ann_T: Your pictures are always so beautiful.

We had stir-fried hot and numbing chicken (nice texture, OK flavor) over jasmine rice . . .

After seeing people rave about Tony Bourdain's Gratin Dauphinois, I was wondering if there is much of a difference bewteen Bourdain's version and Jeffrey Steingarten's. We had Steingarten's gratin earlier in the week and it was love at first bite for me. As I was eating most of the gratin by myself, I was thinking that they were by and far the best potatoes I had ever had. Actually, as I was eating them, I was thinking that they were among the best things that I have ever tasted. Gee, if I give up a bunch of other dishes, can I eat these potaoes often, very often?

Is there much of a difference between the two recipes?

Thanks!

I don't know Steingartens so I'll tell you about Bourdains:

sliced potatoes, crushed whole garlic, herb bundle into a pot of cream bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 mins. season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg. transfer into buttered and garlic rubbed gratin dish, sprinkle with gruyere and bake for 40 mins. rest 10. delish

I messed around with the Duck roulade from The French Laundry Cookbook tonight. I stuffed it with leg confit and then cooked it sous vide with 5-spice and Sichuan peppercorns, served with red onion confit, shitakes, and 'quick' sweet and sour sauce.

It looks great, and I love the cornichon and olive accompaniment!

Looks good AvsKick21. What is the leaf like thing wrapped around it?

Moby, looks great as always...what is Seaweed Asparagus (do you mean the sea asparagus you get from British Columbia)?

Wendy, congrats on having your oven back...look forward to see more amazing dishes prepared in there.

Wendy, those pesky oven-moths have been the downfall of many a great chef. :biggrin:

I'm grinning big for you as well---I'm glad you're back up and running. Though you DID stay up for your game with all the top-cooked things---remarkable.

And to everyone who's posted in the last couple of weeks: Three words:

O. Ver. Load. The pictures and descriptions and occasions are just awesome. All those voluptuous sauces and beautiful vegetables, and the absolutely sumptuous meats---roast, sous vide, fried, grilled, sauced and breaded and wokked and sauteed. Wow. Just wow.

I don't post many pictures, but where would any gallery be with ardent admirers?

And KIM---your Easter table is dreamy :wub: ---I've looked over and over again. We'll be having ours tomorrow, since we were gone last weekend.

Good work, everyone!!

Percy, the seaweed asparagus is grown on the isle of white, in seaweed. I think it has a a gentle iodine note to it. English asparagus is pretty good generally.

that looks wonderful and elegant- what is Dorset lobster, just the region it comes from??

thanks everyone, we are sooooo excited to do some cooking- now I hope it stays chilly a bit longer as I missed making all my favorite winter dishes this year :sad:

(double batch of banana bread in the oven as we now have quite the freezer surplus of bananas to get through!)

I'm brand new here, and my dinners aren't always all that exciting, but I love this thread! I'm home alone tonight so I just had a big salad with dried cherries and pea pods and some basic greens.

Domestic Hubby fired up the grill and boy did he grill!

He fixed Pork Barbeque slabs with his secret marinade dip

gallery_48583_4079_117169.jpg:wub:

The meat was tender and that fat was crispy and crackly....

gallery_48583_4079_396753.jpg

He also grilled some steak and fixed french fries....

gallery_48583_4079_109649.jpg

And in a burst of creativity and imagination, he grilled his homemade breakfast sausage and they were to die for.

gallery_48583_4079_103527.jpg

I fixed barbeque rice....

gallery_48583_4079_29070.jpg

Not pictured were the baked potatoes for the kids and grilled Asian eggplant with shrimp paste salad for me.

Littlest son piped up "It smells like heaven!" while DH was grilling out in the veranda. :wub:

Domestic Goddess - looks great! I have visited Marlboro Man many times and love the pictures and blog! However - your sandwhichs look sooo different!?!? Not as saucey perhaps and a diff type of meat it appears (cut and preparation). Did you tweak some of the details in the ingredients and or cooking method?

Just curious if your recipe for this is a lil different than the original. Thanks!
