What are you cooking for dinner this weekend?

[Too Tall]

You all just need to schedule a visit to Lodi.

There is that or better yet invite that hardworking man to my house for an omlette.

I'm a caveman when it comes to plating. These images are terrific inspiration.

No pics of food or anything, but just got an email that my Anova Precision shipped today and should be in my hands early next week. All sorts of excited to play with a new toy and have perfectly cooked (insert whatever you want here) all the time.

Thursday is weekend, right?



Red wine braised puy lentils, parsnip crusted salmon, frizzled leeks.

Mmmm black beans. We can hang.

Venison with dry coffee rub, flash grilled rare. Baked sweet potatoes with curry paste, finished with broiled brown sugar and butter on top;
Broccoli salad with sesame, hot pepper flakes, cumin seed and garlic.

No pics...venison was consumed as soon as it hit the plate.
In a happy place now.

New kitchen is 100% functional. Dying to try out the convection oven. Pizza or Bread?

Nice stuff!

Time constrained so I made pizza. #1 red sauce/uncured hickory bacon/broccolini/mozzerella #2. red sauce/arugala/mushroom/basil/parmesian reggiano

Not bad. Oven at 500F/convection. Whole Foods dough made me grumpy. Pies were great.

Josh if you want to try something different I make a smoked salmon pizza, seriously delicious.

Ingredients
sliced cold smoked salmon
capers
paper thin sliced red onion
micro planned lemon zest
chive cream fraiche ( sliced chives mixed in cream fraiche)

it is really easy
you cook your docked (holes) pizza shell to golden brown

when it comes out of the oven lather the cream fraiche on the dough, leave a cm or two for rim.
place red onion on cream fraiche
single layer smoked salmon on pizza leaving the edge uncovered
garnish with caper, lemon zest and sliced chives
cut into 8
serve

i would do the pizza about the size of a 10 inch plate and cut into 1/8ths

I'll try and remember to take a picture tomorrow

We really need to make you work in boxing gloves so as to level the playing field

Today begins The Great Sous Vide Experiment. Planning to cook and then roast a whole chicken. Collective web wisdom seems to be 148* for 6 hours and then a few minutes under the broiler. Pics to follow...

OK so it was last week and not weekend but a different dish: Stuffed Mirliton. (Known as chayote outside of Louisiana). Some veggies, shrimp, breadcrumbs and maybe crab and you're in businessimage.jpg

Chicken is dropped. See you in 7 hours!

Jacob, how did the bird turnout, as this is something that I would like to try. I cannot tell from the picture is the chicken whole or halved? thanks.

[jdp211]

Stuart, the chicken's whole and in the water bath currently. I'll report back later this evening after I've had a chance to try it!
