Cooking with Tallyrand
@neilh - nice one! that is brilliant :-) A man after my own heart, I love food related literature ..... Poems and fictional novels. As to history, I devour anything ancient, as in Egyptology, Crusades and Asia (great tv document last night on Tutenkamen) And as you say, when the three collide, all the better. But any mix of the three suits me. I completed a great degree of research ...
@ChefTallyrand. Good to see this site with its useful ideas, hints and tips. My cookery talents have been described as "Dark-side" by my wife but I do enjoy good food. I also like history and poetry so when the three combine my cup runneth over. In homage to your curry recipes I thought you might be interested in the following verse. It may be apocryphal but who knows - that's the stuff ...
I've had a go at this pasty recipe and I got great results. The bench mark pasty While I was at Sainsbury's buying the ingredients for the pasty recipe I thought I'd buy a standard Sainsbury's pasty as a benchmark to compare my creations against. Ingredients Pastry Meat Potato Onion Ready for baking ...
Orsmans Pasty Factory near the docks in Teignmouth! They're responsible for my life long love of a decent DEVON pasty! Shame it closed down.
Wow-wee! What a lot of really useful information. That's great. I do like the stacking tray idea. It's funny, I'd forgotten that this is exactly how my mam always stores her root veg, never in the fridge. She has always had one of those deeply unfashionable plastic vegetable racks, which she keeps in her little council house pantry from yesteryear! How funny that I forgot this and ended up using ...
PS - I hope you will pass the news along, and encourage friends to sign up too (=[;-)
Hi Clarabella thanks for the words of support. I'm working hard with the webmaster to get this up & running. He has already added a comment feature, where you can add comments, leave feedback etc to each recipe I post. So any other ideas for this area would be greatly appreciated. I won't answer your question here, but I will shortly post a complete new article amongst my recipe area ...
Hi Tallyrand What a great idea! A cooking/food agony-aunt! I like it. I'll be checking out your recipes when I have time, as I'm always on the look-out for inspiration. I've got a storage type question for you. I'm talking carrots. Whether we buy them from Sainsbury's or Tesco, bagged or loose, organic, or standard, they go floppy within 1-2 days of being stored, loose, at the bottom of the ...
On the train the other day, I overheard some mothers discussing the fact they had to provide a cake for a school fete. They discussed fresh or packet or should they just buy a pre-made one? How baking was enjoyable but the cleaning wasn't, having to drag the mixer out, how complicated the recipes always were etc etc I apologise for eavesdropping, but I hope they are Dawlish.com readers. Because ...
Skirt & shin, ahhhh both great cuts of beef, so full of flavour. Both long forgotten by many, especially the professional industry where they seem to concentrate on the tender cuts (for faster cooking) As for S&K pudding or pie, beef cobbler and massaman curry .... now your talking!! and don't get me started on braised oxtail (he says drooling) I will have post my recipes for them all, later in ...
