The Cooking Thread

I had a go at a zabaglione with whites, realised my jury-rigged bain-marie was going to end up on the floor, put the mixture straight to the gas and ended up with a pan of fairly grim sugared egg graupel. Binned that, drank the rest of the sherry. All's well that ends well.

The carbonara was banging. What does Italy do with all the spare egg whites?

Meringues?

... and macaroon biscuits only use the whites.

Beef Rendang this evening. No marks for presentation obviously, not one of my priorities, but it tasted damn fine. Plus, the meat was meltingly tender. Homegrown Chard on the side.

Half a bottle of wine and half a bag of peanuts here. Had a BLT the size of a half inch socket set for lunch.

The other night I cooked a chicken/bacon/leek/tagliatelle thing with a jam jar of carbon nara on one of lasagne white sauce. No apologies for the use of jar sauces!

We judge you regardless.

 

I'm on a raw materials push atm. Had quite a few eggs in so been on fresh pasta, proper yolk sauces etc. Made the bread and the mayonnaise for a BLT yesterday.

Whole egg carbonara is a thing.
