Without the anchovies, I am reluctant to call it a "Caesar" - but it looks good!

Also, gotta love a cookbook that refers to your Pumpkin seeds as the "same fucking" thing as pepitas.

It's a fun cookbook. Jake gifted it too me a couple of Christmas's ago. Some really creative recipes in it.

I made Nyonya Laksa from scratch for my wife. My first time and she was very impressed. And surprisingly didn’t take that long - making ramen feels like it takes much longer.

The noodles were a pain to make. Was worried that the density of the dough would break my pasta roller.

Where did you get your alkali? I've wanted to try this myself but was wondering about the alkali (or whether to make it myself). So far I've been using the Hakubaku dry ramen noodles which are pretty good.

I forgot to buy lye water so I cooked down baking soda into sodium carbonate. All the local places that sell the fresh noodles were sold out.

I love sushi, so jealous. And the cravings were already coming back bad enough before!

Never had beef stroganoff that wasn't cream of mushroom soup and ground beef before. Good, but not worth the effort.

Make mine from scratch. Mix of venison tenderloin and beef fillet mignon. Heavy cream and cooking wine, mushrooms, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste

 

[JustDave]

This was ribeye, shallots, mushrooms, worsteshire, beef broth, paprika and creme fraiche.

 

[FordPickup92]

Might have used beef broth in mine as well, I'd have to review my recipe (its handwritten somewhere!) I dont like shallots or green onion so I usually skip that part and use a small amount of sweet onion

Smoked pork shank - Frijoles Rosie ( after smoking the shank I crocked it with the beans, a ham hock, onion, garlic, polish sausage) - crockpots FTW, no rollers...

Smoked a wagyu chuck roast for the first time. Rubbed with mustard and seasoned with salt and pepper, then let it rest in the fridge overnight. Smoked for 4.5 hours until it hit 165 then I wrapped it with tin foil and put in a bit of apple juice. Cooked until it hit 205 (1.5 hours) and let it rest for 45 minutes before serving. Great flavor, super tender. Even my dad complimented which is a very rare occurrence.
