Nice - what did you braise the pig cheeks in?

I just did creamed mushrooms and garlic on bruscetta, with parmesan and truffle

Planning xmas dinner atm.

Am seeing if I can get this delivered to cloggers.

Failing that its a trip to borough market

Whole cloves, bay leaf, rosemary, garlic, chicken stock for 3 hours. Balsamic and white wine reduction.

Although I'm seriously tempted into getting some gear for doing sous vide - any advice?

Pheasant and menu looks fantastic. My brother-in-law & sister are cooking for Christmas, but I've been allowed to do the amuse bouche and canapes!

They're gonna like my Christmas Dinner ice cream I've been experimenting with

I think I may add crab meat to the potted shrimp (hollandse garnarlen - brown shrimp) are plentiful here.

Maybe gravad lax for xmas eve with a creme fraiche and mustard sauce. I can make it the week before.

Am thinking about sous vide myself, Modernist Cuisine at Home: Amazon.co.uk: Nathan Myhrvold, Maxime Bilet: Books but don't have the space for the equipment atm.

Sous Vide for the Home Cook: Amazon.co.uk: Douglas Baldwin, Dr. Michael Eades, Dr. Mary Dan Eades: Books



Though Mr N and I went house hunting again yesterday and one of the houses that we had a second viewing has a good utility room where both of us said at the same time we could stick a sous vide machine in.

I do a lot of slow cooking, so it would be ideal

Great links there norrahe - thanks. May have just solved my Christmas pressie conundrum.

Specially like the Geeks book - one quote made me chuckle:

And how quickly does a pizza cook if we overclock an oven to 1,000° F/540° C?

The joys of travelling with a second rate airline.

Delayed again, and they only tell you about 20 mins beforehand.

Apparently we're boarding

The plane has only just pulled up to the gate

Only one more week of this and then I don't have to see the inside of an airport for two weeks.
