    Default Compliments to the chef

    You know you're an excellent cook when your audience starts crying and screaming when he sees there's nothing left Beat that, you Michelin star chefs

    Olive oil, a few pieces of beefsteak with a wee bit of pepper and salt, a toe of fresh garlic, tomatoe, fresh paprika, aubergine, a few leaves of fresh basilicum and pasta. Just fry the flesh in the olive oil, add the toe of garlic (crush it, it gives more taste then), the tomatoe (remove pits and skin first or go the easy way and use canned tomatoe), paprika and aubergine all in the same pan (add extra olive oil until the aubergine becomes soft); put it on low fire and add the leaves of basilicum. Cook the pasta. For a baby/toddler, you need to cook the pasta a bit further than al dente.

    Easy, doesn't take too long to prepare and it tastes delicious, if I may say so myself. I think I'll add some ricotta too next time.

    I saw him making scrambled eggs in a show once (it might have been the same one). It took him 15 minutes. Who has 15 minutes to spend on scrambled eggs? I do them in a minute in a microwave. I could have cooked, eaten and washed up in the time it would just take him to cook.

    I don't like mushrooms, but cream and gorgonzola are great. Can't do wine for little one.

    Did anyone ever started crying after he/she noticed there was nothing left? Did somebody had to hug somebody for 5 minutes to calm him/her down because there was nothing left? If the answer to those two questions is "no", then you didn't beat me, Monsieur

    Ah yes. But that's something you see in plenty of cooking programs. Some guy telling you he can cook an excellent dish in 30 minutes... What he doesn't tell you is that he had a few slaves washing and cutting all the vegetables, preparing a ton of things before Mister 30-minutes starts his explanation. In fact, if all the work has been done before you, you're a louzy cook if it still takes you 30 minutes to prepare your dish, since that's the equivalent of needing 30 minutes to prepare some micro-wave dish that has "ready in 5 minutes" written on the package.

    ^This.

    That is why whenever I cook anything I take all the required ingredients and put them on the counter beforehand. Then I feel like a TV show chef.

    How can you not like mushrooms, they soak up the taste of the steak.

    That tuna-steak looks yummie Tincow

    I'm a fan of magic mushrooms, but I've never tried them in food. I might one day. And normal mushrooms are the best with any type of food.

    Pff, I can make a little kid cry without even having to serve him/her food.

    I did make a warm banana with home made chocolate sauce last evening. I'm not saying it made my girlfriend cry but she did lick every last bit out of the plate.

    No, they always start crying when there is still food on the plate, in anticipation of it soon being gone.

    The windowed seating area is perfect for relaxing over a bottle.

    I just noticed that my blog got a bunch of hits from the Org. Thanks for stopping by! I started it because my facebook friends wanted me to start posting recipes.

    TinCow even has his own spaghetti sauce recipe! http://thekitchenfrog.blogspot.com/2...meatballs.html

    A stew with lamb and plumbs of course. Tomatoes, onions, raisins, Add plenty of mint and whatever the English call koriander.

    Delicious.

    The GF isn't a big fan of tomatoes and I absolutly hate koriander (all I taste is soap).

    Lamb and raisons are almost a given though.

    Try using rosemarijn instead, a little bit of tomatoe is absolutely required though, it will become a dry mess if you don't. Also, tip with couscous, serve it cold. That works really well.

    Hah, I don't think I have the right personality for a cooking show unless you want to watch me order TinCow around and talk to my dog. ;) I have no cous cous recipes, TinCow doens't like it so we don't make it very often. I have a good recipe for tabbouleh though! http://thekitchenfrog.blogspot.com/2...uleh.html#more

    It's couscous with chicken and honey glazed raisins


    Especially the raisins were superb in this dish.
    Does it count if I made myself cry when my plate was empty?

    Thanks, next time I'll be a bit braver with the spices and perhaps throw in some fresh parsley/chives/rosemary for a bit of color.

    @Scienter, give me a nod when you update your food blog. I'm genuinely interested.
