Off Topic The cooking thread….

Got both but **** that in this weather, I’ll just use the oven and if I’m feeling a bit fancy I’ll crack out the mapp torch for a bit of charring

 

Did you triple cook the chicken as well?

 

I watched this yesterday, their channel is excellent

 

Leftovers special. Sprout, turkey, sausage and potato bubble and squeak. Served it with reheated gravy, English mustard and brown sauce

 

very nice. Top job!!!

 

Oui chef! A creamy & peppery carbonara with linguine

 

No, no, no SW3! That looks delicious but carbonara is eggs, cheese, pepper and pancetta/guanciale. Nothing more nothing less.

 

Yes and no plumb I like to add frozen peas and pineapple to mine. ​

 

I disagree
Recipes are a guide not the law…cook what you enjoy mate x

 

Cook what you enjoy yes, but some things are classics and shouldn't be altered imho. I mean, you wouldn't hang fluffy dice off your Ferrari rear view mirror would you? Please say you wouldn't...

 

I cook some classic Italian and South Asian dishes.
Sometimes I go off piste and there is nothing wrong with that either.
Near to where I live there is a traditional Italian restaurant that serves the right pasta for each dish. It’s actually very close to the Ferrari garage! Their carbonara uses cream as well as egg. If you go in there and tell them it’s wrong, expect a horses (New Forest Pony) head in your bed!
