Simpo the chef strikes again

[simpo two]

Readers may remember my ineptitude at cooking rice.

However, a culinary genius lurks within. As a result of a happy accident (don't laugh, that's how they discovered that meat tastes better cooked than raw) I am now in a position to recommend that before you stick your Stilton on your cracker, add a smear of honey first.

Maybe there is a Gastronomic genius inside of you trying to get out.(you didn't eat one did you?)

Every time I cook it's an experement!..

Ah! Is that a structured experiment?



This book may be of interest.

If you really want to experiment in the kitchen and investigate the science of cooking, try Heston Bluementhal's (owner of The Fat Duck in Bray, best restaurant in the world) Kitchen Chemistry, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Both books sound excellent, Thank You!

Cheese combo's.

Wensleydale. Lancashire and white cheshire also rather pleasant with honey (clear honey - Acacia or similar preferred. Borage Honey is the real stuff if you can get it!)

Variation.

Brie with Mango Chutney.


International variation:

Easy starter - Large (v. large) pickled gherkin, clear honey (as above) and sour cream. One or more of the former and a dollop of each of the latter on a plate.

Dip the gherkin in either or both of the others as required. Makes the taste buds tingle. A good quality gherkin is advised for maxiumu effect. It;s a Russian recipe apparently so if you can get hold of a nice bottle of Georgian Red wine so much the better. Or Orange vodka.

No it doesn't... well not more than "Very blue", anyway.
