Pasta and Meatballs
Made for the children’s lunch today
Removed the sausage meat from its casing and shaped into balls.
Made the sauce by sweating some leeks, carrot and garlic in butter. Then added a tin of whole plum tomatoes, some tomato puree and cooked it down. Puréed the sauce with a hand blender, before finally adding the meatballs to the puréed sauce to cook.
Finished with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
It didn’t last long!

Leftover pulled pork. 2kg cooked in the slow cooker and then frozen a week ago. Defrosted some today and whacked it in a baguette.
Genuinely think it tasted better after being frozen. Kept moist by adding some of the leftover cooking juices to the microwave which i also froze after cooking the pork shoulder.
Still got bloody loads left.

Nobody has paid us yet, we do it for fun really, and because it's a challenge. And because it's something we (my wife and I) can do together. She does the actual cooking and the set dressing, I do the lighting and technical stuff.

You and 6th gear take very high end images. What camera is it? I have a Canon D SLR but can't be assed using it.
It's a Canon DSLR with a good Canon lens, plus I have Photoshop etc. A picture like the one above takes about three or four hours to get. Obviously the bacon arrived just at the right moment, when everything else was ready.As soon as we were sure we had the picture we assembled the cheese and bacon rolls and they were

while I know that a large sensor and good glass can make for quality photos it always irks me a little when people go along this route and basically say 'what a nice photo, you must have a nice camera'. much like saying what tasty food, you must have a nice stove/expensive kitchenwareambuletz said:
