Plum jam…..

Hatch chile stew would have been a more appropriate way to say farewell to Breaking Bad, but this balsamic glazed roast pork tenderloin and veggies, collar greens, and Cajun Lima beans are fit for a meth kingpin.

[mclaincausey]

Irish cheddar, fried prosciutto, tenderloin, eggs, and veggies. Cold press coffee on ice with pastured milk.

It would be a shame to throw away hamhock and collard stock. So I made a stew with it. Pretty good.

Woah. here's my thread.

Vegan chocolate ganache dome. Coconut caramel sauce and black lava salt not pictured.

Zenther, amazing stuff!  You cook professionally or just a kickass hobbyist?

Made some roasted butternut squash and red pepper soup from my CSA. Any ideas on acorn squash?

Not so much cooking, as baking…..fresh out of the oven

[mclaincausey]

Whatcha got there?  Not often that I miss bread but that looks damn nice.

[madmonday]

the fish in the heavy frying pan was being seared for my mean non-cooking wife, the rest was all for me.

Time to convert these into jelly….

[mclaincausey]

Those look like a Fuji Apple and a cherry had a baby; forgive my ignorance, but what are they?

[Giles]

Crab Apples…

Crab apple jelly complete, now I can go to the office….

[Zentner]

Nice Giles.. my family has been making crab apple jelly for decades.

I did a little take on a Bánh mì… Viet beef loin with crispy tofu, sesame herb salad and taro onion jam.

I'm no chef, never went to school for culinary arts, never worked in a restaurant. I just really enjoy fine dining, and I think I have a pretty good knack for nontraditional flavor combinations. I spent a great deal of money at Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas this summer, and got a ton of inspiration from him.
