Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[endo]

Tonight we’re going to my love’s adult children for BBQ. Said I would bring dessert - and found this recipe of a Lemon Swiss roll and amaretti trifle, which won some Queen’s anniversary dessert award thing. Had to overcome my anti-monarchist feelings, but it worked pretty well and looks quite nice, I think.

Damn I would very much eat that, possibly the whole thing. Are those shards of white chocolate on top?

[endo]

yes, with pieces of lemon and orange zest in it.

[endo]

you possibly couldn't eat the whole thing, it's about 2 kg

Friends of us have a new Teppan… we gave it a try today and did Okonomiyaki

[JDelage]

That looks delish. Nothing like Japanese comfort street food.

[mclaincausey]

Truth. Y'all always impress here.

I got a stainless steel griddle for my gas grill and teppanyaki is on the roadmap–starting with a Benihana style steak, shrimp, fried rice, zucchini, onion volcano kind of deal We already do this using a sautee pan and other things (often substituting quinoa for rice) but really excited to get closer to the actual teppanyaki next time

[Chap]

Yes seems to be very popular street food thing in Japan. First time I tried it but will definitely do it again…. a teppan is now on my list too.

[mclaincausey]

Went a little overboard with the luxury food. First time for A5 didn’t disappoint!

@LewisStonehouse:

Big old bone in rib-eye reverse seared

Looks absolutely delicious. And I know there's no accounting for taste and all that and please don't take this the wrong way, but that steak deserves a better drink as accompaniment

[Giles]

Cheap mango's in the super markey yesterday - Mango chutney, here we come….

[endo]

looks good    what are those big leaves?

[Giles]

Indian bay leaf.

Stolen from the web:

The Indian bay leaf embodies a mild cinnamon flavor, while the laurel bay leaf imparts essences of pine and lemon. The Indian bay leaf is used extensively in Indian cuisine, and in recipes, may be confusingly referred to as simply “bay leaf”, though the two are not to be used interchangeably.
