Food & Drink Come on admit it........

My grandmother was an incredible cook when I was growing up. Everytime we visited, she was always cooking something, a tart, pie or cake. All natural ingredients.

 

For a long time I never watched it but now am an avid viewer Mel and Sue do get properly on my nerves though...

 

The only food related show that I watch is Hell Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay, all the others cook like horse ****.

 

Do you not miss Light Lunch, GK?
(I am showing my age here haha)

Aye - it's a bit cheesy, but the meaty scenes are quite something...

 

Yep good old home cooking. None of this tasteless processed supermarket crap.

 

I watch it occasionally while playing tanks. I find it too slow to watch while doing nothing else.

I do however have quite a lot of the stuff from the show. The oven, a kitchenaid, the same mixing bowls.

The wife enjoys it and I want her to try and enter it.

 

So, sexuality of the subjects aside for one moment, who would you go for?

Let's do this...

Shag/Marry/Cliff - Mel, Sue and Mary?

 

Does Mary berry really annoy you that much? I thinks she's sweet. She also writes good cook books.

 

That's not (necessarily) my answer to the question, it's just a question. Out of the three, who would you do what to?

 

I enjoy watching It, I Like cooking and baking at times so its fun and they have a pair of presenters who make it all light and entertaining and a couple of judges who add the serious side to the show which i do like

 

'nuff said.


And shouldn't this be in Serious Discussion?

 

Yes we do watch it here My main training is as a chef and as such I love cooking and cookery programmes on tv

 

Yes, I picked up a cheap one off Fleabay (it's great for buying meat in large packs and freezing it into more usable portion sizes) - but you can apparently do it with zip-loc bags too.

 

Interesting. I may have found my winter project!

 

It's a good solution, and considerably cheaper to do than the £400 that most sous-vide water baths cost. The only problem is that the temperature control isn't as tight as I'd like. I think this is because there's no flow of water to create a more even heating. I'm trying to think of a way of adding a small circulating pump and getting the tubes into the pot while still keeping the glass lid.

 

Missed it on Wednesday so caught up last night.

By god, the pies O_O


Kate, Richard and Luis in the final IMO.

 

Yeah the water circulation is what has got me thinking. I was wondering about a small submersible pump that's on all the time, but this is all just 'thinking' at the moment...

 

It's not cooking or baking, it's food modding!

 

Paul..

First two......
