His stuff is always beautiful. I can’t even come close. Who has time for all that? ![]()
Pork joint marinated in lemon-infused olive oil - 12 hours in the sous vide and finished under a really hot grill

Kebabs made with Scottish salmon, king scallops, button onions and sunblush tomato on rosemary stalks
you’re really putting that sous vide to work!
How long did it take you to convince the wife to “invest” in it ![]()
It wasn’t that much of an investment - I think I paid about £120 for the Andrew James one on Amazon, and then I had to spend about another £50 on a decent vacuum sealer because the one that came with the sous vide machine was a bit rubbish.
I swear by it because it’s pretty much idiot proof ![]()
seriously! Even I can afford that!
And you don’t even have to convince your wife - i say go for it!
Ok, so I’ve just been keeping these in my log, but here goes:
First thing I baked in new oven.
Next thing.
And getting used to a different broiler.
But I just screwed up some chicken pretty badly. It was still chicken though. Didn’t screw it up at a molecular level or anything. ![]()
My next adventure will be figuring out convection cooking/air frying.
Had some left over sauce and steak, so:
Turned out pretty good. A little dash of pepper and squirter of lemon really brightened up the steak & shrooms.
Egg white puffs.
I’m considering making some keto pastry cream and turning these into keto cream puffs!
Bubble and squeak with chicken sausage @alex_uk @dagill2
I used braised cabbage and onion and some sausage in the patty. Made the “mash” with canned potato, mustard, chicken stock and a lot of salt
Had the heat up too high in the pan though, underestimated the ability for cast iron to hold heat- rookie mistake ![]()
I’m going to be honest: I’ve never eaten bubble and squeek.
Even my bastardized version was pretty good, which isn’t something I can say for most British food
I’ve been watching too much Great British menu while waiting for my advisor
You talk a lot of trash about other people’s food, considering how much offal you eat.
offal is well respected these days (nose to tail cooking is on the rise) and a staple in a lot of traditional cuisines. It’s also incredibly nutritious and it’s a shame that it was abandoned
Have you ever been to Britain to eat British food?
