I also made a meat and potato pie :Northern: , which is even less photogenic. My dad was coming for tea.

[bramblerose]

Ruby, both of those look EPIC

[Disco]

I much prefer dollops to marbles.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I wish I had also been coming for tea.

Basically, if you want dinner-lady style food, I am a quality chef.

[AshleyX]

That’s my type of food, Ruby

Chickpea curry tonight. It was amazing and I hoovered it up in about 2 minutes.

I know this was ages ago but please could you share this recipe, Heebs? Apologies if you have already posted it - I can't seem to find it.

[Ella77]

It is there if you search for chickpea curry. I was looking for it yesterday myself.

Love that pavlova, Woo.

[Mountain Goat]

I could have a very good go on that pie and pavlova.

Thanks! I was only searching in this thread

Pie and pavlova is a winning combo.

Fried courgettes.

[Epponnee Rae]

Wendy is right, pie and pav IS a winning combo and I want both I also love the look of WeJa’s lentils on the last page, which I’d like with a few chapati/roti/paratha please. I’ve never made braised broad beans and have some in this week that I am scratching my head over. I’ll look it up!

Thank you for being nice about my pasta before I’d like to try it again if I can get hold of some brown crabmeat (without having to pick it all myself :lazy: ) to add to the sauce.

I fired up my rarely used gas barbecue at the weekend and grilled a lamb burger, asparagus, corn and some fake haloumi and it was GOOD. There’s spicy houmous and harissa Mayo, cheese, tomato and pickled red onion on the burger, and then sat at and crumbled feta on the corn. It was so tasty I wanted it again yesterday but I think my gas canister has run out so had to cook indoors. Not quite as good but still I also found some white txakoli finally so thought of emma_p

[wendy james]

A gas barbecue sounds perfect for one!

It was a Riverford recipe for lunch, using chard from the veg box.

[Pippedydeadeye]

My dress led to me being attracted to a pretty label in a bottle of wine, which in turn said to have with creamy pasta on a rainy Tuesday night, which led to carbonara and a shaved fennel & pecorino salad.

[emma_p]

Ooh the fennel salad looks lovely! As does the wine! Is that Sainsbos?

[Rosa]

That looks so nice. I could honestly live off pasta.

We had a massive frittata (chorizo, potato, spinach and comte).

[Pippedydeadeye]

Morrisons!

C ate loads of the fennel, he’d already had most when I remembered to snap it.

The frittata looks glorious, Rosa. It’s on my holiday menu.

I have never made pizza before, and I think that much is patently obvious. I’m not sure why I decided sourdough pizza would be a good place to start for a novice, or why persisted with it when I realised that I’d used 100% whole wheat flour ?thinking I didn’t have any white flour, only to discover a virgin bag of 00 pizza flour in my cupboard), and ending up with a dough almost too sticky to be workable. I also didn’t have any mozzarella (that’s burrata), or enough basil (fucking plant won’t grow!), and none of the other useful pizza making equipment, like a pizza stone or peel

Dough needs work, shaping needs work, toppings need work

I’ll eat it though.

[Cosmopolitan]

Oh Epp, still looks pretty good. Have you got any dyastatic malt? You need that for good sourdough pizzas. I've got a really clear recipe / timing plan for them if you'd like (basically built out of about 3 different people's recommended recipes and trial and error)

[Mountain Goat]

That sounds like everything I try to do, Epp.

I would give quite a lot for that carbonara, fennel salad and wine right now (well, maybe in a few hours). My fucking fridge has broken again and I have the contents of it all over the house with everything going off and meals are a sweep of what ingredients are looking the most vulnerable. This in the middle of DIYing the kitchen, piecemeal, so it's already a half unpacked, half painted state. It might finish me.

Oh I did make a decent dinner on Monday, full easy Alison Roman cook by numbers. Paprika rubbed chicken (this had as much fennel seed as paprika), butter tossed radishes with zataar and herb roasted new potatoes.
