Challenge: Cook With Jamie

Posted on

 

Yes. Its a penis cake.
No. I didn’t make it. Friend’s birthday cake.
But I wanted to get your attention.

Good Monday everyone! How are you feeling today? Is the day treating you well so far?

I’ve decided to turn my frown upside down today and be in a good mood no matter what. So to put these wheels in motion I’ve set myself a few challenges.

1. Cook through Jamie Oliver’s ‘Cook With Jamie‘ book, Julie & Julia style

I understand this isn’t an original concept, but come on, you have to give me clicks for the time and effort its going to involve. Sure people have done this before but I believe the experience will be different from person to book. For me personally, this book have a perfect mix of recipes which are both new to me and appealing. It’s a challenge to hone my rough-as-guts kitchen skills are broaden our weekly meals. I know you know what I mean; the weekly meals that tend to get over used a bit, one too many nights of nachos or good ol spaghetti bolognese.  Be prepared to witness my shining moments of glory where I follow the recipe correctly and the food is wonderful – as well as those moments where a maccas cheeseburger will be more appetising then what I served up (purely because I’m a chaotic cook who likes to experiment outside the recipe!)

Roasted Fennel and Beetroot Salad

Posted on

So I’ve been experimenting with fennel lately. Up until a few weeks ago fennel was completely unknown to me.

I’m not a fan of licquorice, at all. Fennel is known to smell the same way as licquorice, but believe me the taste couldn’t be further from alike.

 

Such a simple dish to throw together, so fresh and comforting on a winter’s night. The vegetables take on a beautiful creaminess from the addition of butter when roasting but is still nice and light for a side dish to a meal.
