Ah I remember you now from that thread I started a while back I should have kept it up to date as I've had a real "baptism of fire" in my first year! I've been too busy being involved in dedicated bee forums to be honest.

That’s normal! I’ll keep an eye out for the updated thread when you get time!

Had a 3-course meal at home from one of our favourite local restaurants that's now doing meals-in-a-box this evening.

Heritage beetroot, goat's curd, savory granola and pesto


Chicken crown with truffle fondant potato, hen of the woods, savoy cabbage with bacon, and madeira sauce


Almond and rapeseed oil cake, Yorkshire rhubarb, hibiscus syrup, chantilly cream and honeycomb


All in all it was pretty sensational. Will definitely be looking to do another!

Looks great, and presented as you would get it in the restaurant. How much prep did you have to do?

Very little. The only course that required any cooking was the main and that was pretty simple- 45 minutes in the oven then 15 resting whilst the mushroom DMD potato oven cook, plus 3 minutes at the end to heat through the cabbage and sauce. The rest was just plating and drinking wine. In hindsight I should have split the breasts off the crown and carved them individually but by that point I'd had three beers and nearly half a bottle of wine...

It's national pie day and close to Burns night. Steak and haggis pie on a roll

As one must.

Is it not traditional to have those battered and deep fried?

Going by description alone, that sounds very wrong. But adding a picture makes me want that more than I can say.

Innovative menu planning; nice work.

If served at a chip shop yes we deep fry steak and scotch pie's which is nicer than it sounds and crunchy but not very greasy. Never seen a battered pie or Mars bar in a chppy in Scotland.

Not the most photogenic, but damn tasty! Slow cooked stew with hasslebacks, bread to mop up

[Blown2CV]

talking of non-looker taste-amazings i present you last night's burns supper... not sure why we didn't have it tonight as is customary but was v good...



The creamy stuff was whisky cream sauce that the missus enjoys. I tend to go full Scotsman gravy personally.

Cant polish a turd, Haggis is never a looker but always tastes good.

Whisky cream sauce is easy. Melt butter in a pan add in 50ml whisky and flame it and then add in 100ml cream, 50ml chicken stock, teaspoon of mustard and warm through and then season

Bit of a twist on Burns Night supper dish.....scallops, neeps & tatties rosti with a haggis centre and a whiskey sauce.

Another Burns night photo.

That looks great.

[Gluggy]

Whilst we seem to be doing non-pretty dinners, here's my attempt from the other day - a pile it on the plate "Sunday Dinner"....

Thank you, could have perhaps done with something green on the plate but was really happy with the taste of the dish ☺️

[HM-2]

Made a spin on Char Kway Teow with homemade chicken Char Sui.

pretty simply really as the haggis is basically a block of seasoning! Mushrooms, pancetta/lardons, butter, oil, fry till browning, take off heat, add double cream, stir till mixed, add slunge of your favourite whisky, mix. done!
