Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Giles]

Chicken, ham and leek pie…..

[dj]

Had friends over yesterday. So prepared sourdough cinnamon buns for their arrival.

Also a spelt loaf and then for the evening split a 2.9kg beef rib joint in two. Reverse seared and served with goose fat chips and bernaise sauce. Followed by plum clafoutis. Some things were eaten too quickly to photograph.

Breakfast will be blueberry pancakes, bacon and maple syrup.

The baked goods all look lovely @dj. Need to get back onto that myself.

Fantastic bit of meat too. One thing about Norway that isn’t great is that butchers don’t really exist and the choice of pre-packaged cuts is really poor.

That loaf looks stellar…..

…....also the cinnamon buns and the beef rib joint

Feeling rather over full right now. Pancakes and bacon may have tipped me over the edge.

I am lucky being the bread maker in our household, my parter is generally the breadwinner. So my time is spent cooking, doing chores, looking after the dogs and DIY, with occasional freelance work.

Oh boy… the pulpo and sardines are right up my alley. The pork looks wonderful too.

My wife is feeling really unwell today, so made sourdough spelt blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple suuuuuurp to try and elicit a smile.

Classic! Wishing your wife a speedy recovery while also wishing that breakfast was IN MA BELLY.

Fruit cake because @Madame Buttonfly and I are addicted….

This version swaps out sultanas for chopped prunes and dates and rather than steep the fruit in brandy (because I did not have any to hand) I used Martini Rosso and Schnaps…..

[neph93]

I had your fruitcake the first time I visited you about 5 years ago. It was my first in over a decade (and my last since then). Spare me a piece until September? [emoji6]

I think that one was made by Heather (ex) of the Pump House.  This one should last, especially if I am tardy about putting on the marzipan and icing it.  If not I'll make another.

They're super easy, just use a shit load of kitchen utensils…

Good man. My cake game is limited to sweetbreads (is that even cake?) I’m afraid. But I’ll try it out …

I did scrape the bowl clean, the spicy cake mix was FAB-U-LOUS 

[Giles]

And, it's plum jam time of year again…

The only sweetbreads I've had started life as glands
