Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Giles]

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…..

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]

[Giles]

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

Hannibal Padmore? [emoji15]

Oh my- that is some wonderful stuff.  My kanreki jam disappeared far quickly…

Lamb glands, not human

[neph93]

Probably should have mentioned that at the outset [emoji1]

@Giles:

Looks awesome.

I have the luxury of not cooking anything - I just mixed the gin & tonics and can now relax and watch Giles and Alex preparing dinner.  I will leave them to entertain you (and me) further…

[Alex]

Tonight we are playing with Giles' new kitchen toy and his new BBQ grill and cooking some sirloin steaks

Then we are making a potato salad, grilling corn on the cub with a miso butter and grilling some baby gem lettuces

[Alex]

[seawolf]

That all looks amazing. Especially the corn!

[Giles]

More plum jam, butter chicken and Tarka dhal (and Beef Madras and potatoes with red chillis off-camera)…..

[Giles]

Mis-calculated…Had to bring out a 2 liter Mason as a back up....
