Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[hectic]

Was going to make a chilli today, for eating tomorrow. I understand that chocolate can be a good addition, can anyone specifically advise me please? Thanks much.

[Giles]

Yep, nice bitter dark choc.  Chuck in towards the end…...........

[hectic]

Ta G, someone at work said milk chocolate and I was sure they were talking shite.

[Giles]

Not done this recipe myself, but I often chuck a few oz's in towards the end of the cooking:

yeah - it can be good hectic

depends on your ingredients but generally (very) high cocao content chocolate goes quite nicely

i've used willies chocolates for that

Pot's in the oven, pics to follow but I guess chilli isnt very photogenic though…

[injunjack]

[Beatle]

successfully - hungry again

[Geo]

Good work on all counts IJ

Need to up my input to this - but work means I'm eating out more than cooking . . .

[Chris]

Yeah, I'd like to contribute more, but I don't have a kitchen right now…

[Madame Buttonfly]

IJ, you having a couple of nights off from cooking?  I'm so hungry cos I haven't had my virtual fab fodder for couple of days…

[injunjack]

aha, and now you're pushing me….

I usually cook only on weekends, don't have time to do it on weekdays, and nobody eating it...

I'll try to think of something for the weekend.
Meanwhile (after work)I could put up a pic of wifey's creation,  chocolate cake (almost like mudcake but wasn't)
if you folks like to?

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oooh, yes please IJ!  And I will make some effort to post in this thread, when others see pics of my cooking they should feel happier about posting their own. 

[injunjack]

So wifey made herself (and us) a B-day cake last saturday.
Hope you can make with it until weekend    and Monday, don't ya dare to drool over your keyboard.

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oh, that's so pretty!  And SO chocolately (I can imagine it sticking to the roof of my mouth, mmm….)

Thanks, IJ (and belated happy birthday to Mrs IJ)

[injunjack]

thanks, and forgot to mention, the white stuff isn't coconut flakes, it's white chocolate
