A bit of the old Cordon Bleu as my mate the pizza-king used to say when I cooked him some proper grub on his visits.
(I just googled to check the spelling and it seems CB isn't what it used to be looking at those greasy, processed cheese escalopes that appeared).
I'm right in to my cooking over the last couple of years in an attempt to get Junior to eat well.
Nothing fancy, just quality ingredients and cooking everything from scratch.
I thought this thread might make a little corner to share any recipes, tips or equipment that you have.
I've just found a pile of my mother's hand written recipe notes to check through. Think they might have been from the war
so Junior is in for a treat. Brawn & pigs trotters.
I try to buy one piece of equipment for my kitchen each month :
Ninja mini-oven
Egg poacher & fried egg rings, food tongs and pyrex dishes.
Sandwich toaster
Food blender/processor
Quality knives
...and a chest freezer, which isn't in the kitchen but is used to quickly store everything and prevent waste.
Next on the wanted list are a full size cooker, deep fat fryer & large salamander grill.
I'm keen to try seafood, but as we are so far from the sea I'm wary of the supermarket stock.
Coupled with a good dose of lockdown TV watching the British chefs I've realised that cooking fish is very, very simple.
The best fish chefs are, in fact, sauce chefs as the fish cooks in next to no time.
*Junior came out of school on Friday and I asked him if it was 'Fish Finger Friday' at the canteen.
He said "Yes, but they weren't as good as yours". 😎
