Our starters were spinach and cheese timbales – I’m not really sure how to explain what a timbale is but the texture is not dissimilar to a souffle but a little more dense – they are cooked in a bain marie with tinfoil over the top to ensure they cook gently and thoroughly. The dictionary…
It’s been a long time since we had a dinner club. There was a lot of change at the end of last year with all the members of dinner club – new baby, house moves, holidays and generally, too much hard work and not enough time to spend thinking about new meals to cook. And…
In a new version of Dinner Club, we have moved into Brunch Club – we’ve already had a couple of Brunch meals but this time, it’s a whole round of Brunches! We were welcomed with some some glasses of Horchata – a sweet and refreshing drink made with almonds, rice and honey. Matt started off…
I was utterly stuck for a theme for Dinner Club when my turn rolled around again. So I decided to use Pinterest, which I expect is a bit of a cop out but really, I’d been collecting recipes in Pinterest for ages (see here for my Must Cook folder) and finally decided that cooking some…
Liz treated us to a delicious Dinner club last week with some beautifully cooked Arancini. Followed by a main course of roast pork belly. Man, I love pork belly and this was totally delicious. And then a total whopper of a dessert with 2 different sauces – salted caramel and dark chocolate which contrasted beautifully…
Matt cooked up a storm of comfort food last night, rich, warming and hearty winter food. It was all pretty much amazing but a total overload of cream and stodge. I’m actually now really rather keen on summer so I can start eating salad again!
Well, what can I say? Simon did a great dinner club last night – mainly based around the fact that he rather enthusiastically decided to make sausages in the morning. Not only that, we’ve both been low carbing and eating ridiculously healthily and he decided to ensure that the meal stuck to low carb principles,…
The dessert is only a mystery dessert because I really can’t remember what it was at all. It’s a complete blank to me. The starter however will live on as being one of the nicest ways that I’ve ever had scallops. It was delicious. Pistachios go with scallops amazingly. The main course was lovely as…
I strolled into a new butcher in Exeter on Tuesday afternoon and asked him for something interesting! And he gave me some venison cutlets from a small red deer. And I cooked them very quickly – 1 minute each side in a hot pan and into the oven for 4 mins. They were just slightly…
This was ages ago but my last dinner club was a resounding success as I succumbed to the awesome idea that making a LARGE version of a favourite would be good. Hence the enormo burger. I started with some seared chilli feta on salad. It looks very small compared to the burger course! Main course…
