chillumpuffer Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Sounds like some great cuisine CP! You're quite the gourmet chef! Perhaps, you'll be the next Food Network Star? I'm very much a foodie as well. I'm a decent cook, but not great, but what I do cook always comes out good! I really enjoy my cuisine and take advantage of it when I go away and seek out haute cuisine eateries! Just my liking!Thanks Dave. I am in the "eat to live" category. I love to cook and I do it all the time. It's very difficult for us to eat out as we live in the country so I cook from scratch every day and love it. This weekend's delights could not have got any better. The chicken and peanut sauce starter was incredible, followed by the Rendang, which was historic. When our friends arrived and we had a few drinks and a smoke, I completely forgot the cucumber salad to go with the curry !!If anyone has access to the ingredients for the Rendang I urge all of you to try it. Best made the day before so the flavours really develop. It can be made as hot with chillies to suit your taste. It is quite possibly the finest tucker to come out of Asia I have ever done.

Ddladner Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Beef tenderloin, latkes with applesauce, creamed spinach, and garlic bread. Champagne-bourbon cocktail. For dessert, white chocolate bread pudding. Tonight was our family Christmas dinner, a tradition we started 15+ years ago when my oldest brought home a recipe for latkes from elementary school. Each person in the family makes one of the food items, and we make it a semi-formal affair. It has been great fun, not to mention the food is faaaaabulous!

Latkes are made from grated potato, onion and eggs. The recipe we have (which we have altered slightly) is a complement to the book The Miracle of the Potato Latkes - A Hanukkah Story.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 'Whisky tasting is an event in itself and must be enjoyed in moderation, in order to truly appreciate the various intriguing flavours and intricate 'notes', bundled into this intriguing concoction. The seemingly thrilling aspect of 'getting drunk', is nothing but a norm, under intense societal pressure and must be the last thing on any serious whisky lover's mind, if the immediate goal, is the sampling of good whisky, the way it's meant to be'. - The Old Wise Man of the Distillery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be another round on Christmas Eve with in-laws and another round on Christmas Day with my side of the family. No worries, it's the most wonderful time of the year, no better way to celebrate than with lots of cooking! Yummy chocolate-peanut butter Christmas treats from a dear friend. Thanks E!

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hmmm...the foodies around here, seem unusually quiet this time of year, so since I set the ball rolling as far as New Year treats are concerned, I might as well, continue! A Slice of Lemon Tea Cake, with a Layer of Vanilla Custard, this New Year's DayThe desserts that I enjoyed this New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, are courtesy of a beautiful (but severely underrated) little bakery, that is located pretty close to my neighbourhood. It is one of those places that you can miss, in the blink of an eye, as it's located in the middle of a busy traffic intersection. This hidden gem, sells desserts like apple pie, apple crumble, lemon tea cake, blueberry cheese cake, red velvet cake, mud pie, chocolate truffle, strawberry short cake, pineapple upside down cake and so much more!

I've seen desserts served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream, but not vanilla custard. However, I am a big fan of vanilla custard and think it's a great idea!! I do love a dessert called cottage pudding that is served with a vanilla custard, and now I will consider that topping for other desserts as well! We have so many desserts at Thanksgiving and Christmas that I am trying to lay low on the desserts for New Year's. With that said, I have been enjoying some tasty treats from a super generous forum member, and I will be eating birthday cake today for my niece's birthday! Guess I'll have to start slowing down tomorrow! Happy New Year to you, Kiwi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
