I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10032 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I was curious about the Hawksmoor book. The key to that place seems to me to be perfect ingredients and careful cooking, sometimes with specialist equipment (the Josper grills, in particular, but also things like being able to cook fries in dripping readily), so I was never sure I'd get much from the book. Stunning place to eat, though, I love the Manchester branch (so good Fat Pete will actually go to Manchester for it ). If you are interested in Chinese home cooking, buy "Every Grain of Rice" by Fuchsia Dunlop. It's the only book you need, and it's glorious. "Chinese cooking de-mystified" on YouTube is also excellent and well worth a subscribe. | ||

If you are interested in Chinese home cooking, buy "Every Grain of Rice" by Fuchsia Dunlop. It's the only book you need, and it's glorious. "Chinese cooking de-mystified" on YouTube is also excellent and well worth a subscribe. I’ve got both the Hawksmoor books, and you’re right. It’s main focus is on quality produce cooked really well. It’s such an easy and simple way of cooking that I truly love, which is why I love going to eat there. The restaurant Blacklock funnily enough is much the same, if not even more simple. Turners books Hog and Prime offer a far greater diversity in recipes but with the same cooking approach. They’re very good and in my cooking bible section. They were pretty influential in my journey into starting up my catering business. I’ll check out that book thanks Rick. | ||

Trying to be more frugal and not wasting leftovers etc. It tasted superb but gave me terrible wind. Tonight I have a desire to get some pork chops! | ||

Nanban chicken (floured, fried crisp, and soaked in soy and swret vinegar) with the traditional tartare sauce of hard-boiled egg, picked cucumber, Japanese mashup and lemon; fried potatoes, since the oil was there; and spring greens for HEALTH. https://i.imgur.com/VM0dk86.jpg | ||

My mum overcooks most of her veg and meat, but it’s what I grew up eating so i do have a special place in my heart for it. | ||

This is serious comfort food . https://i.imgur.com/kNrUlWU.jpg | ||

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5120 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Went to a fancy italian place and thought they would be stingy with the portions, so i asked them to make the pizza base a little thicker than normal. 3 bites away from finishing it all, but they thought it was for two to share. Amateurs. Chicken, bbq sauce, olives, tomatoes, probably some other stuff that I forgot. Managed to get some pork over from the Greek side and had a bbq - pork chops, lamb chops, chicken shish, salad, skin-on chips. Last night it was aubergines sauteed with onions, garlic, tomatoes, for a total cost of zero. | ||
