European sea bass. I should remember to add 'sea' in front of bass in future. Most restaurants here will always say 'seabass' but it is, to me, redundant to add the 'sea' as there is no other type of bass available to cook here. I suppose it might be possible to import some frozen striped bass but I've never heard of it being done.
What did you cook, eat or drink today (September 2018)?

Although striped bass are euryhaline, most folks think of them as a saltwater fish.
That roast lamb looks delicious. And I imagine the potatoes tasted great too.
As I read what ingredients you had on hand, my first thought was Cassoulet.

What I see there looks so delicious that I don't care that it's not on a plate...I'd be surprised if it made it to the plate without you nicking a bit of it.

Well - it was sort of based on that idea. I just didn't cook the sausages in with the beans.
I'll bet you had a great time. Love food shows. How did you like the food? Apparently I'm in style, LOL, small plates and nibbles appear to be in now. I was just looking at the the Governor's Ball menu for the Emmy Awards. It's all finger food and small plates.
P. S., You reminded me I have a recipe somewhere for risotto made with red wine. Give a holler and I'll try to find it. The food looks amazing!

The food was really good. Some things that weren't so photogenic were pulled pork, sliders, chilled octopus on a cracker, and cookies. There was also a booth where you could make your own donuts! Well...they made the donuts, and you had a crazy array of different things to put on them.
Please do post your risotto recipe. One thing that Chef Conant said about risotto: don't skimp on the butter!

Thai Coconut Corn Soup - a riff on my Thai Coconut Soup recipe, I had leftover corn that I knew I couldn't finish, so I roasted it on the grill, pureed 3/4 of it, and added the rest in at the end. The pureed corn provided the thickening I needed, so I left the cornstarch out. The corn cobs were simmered with the shrimp shells to enhance the stock. As long as the corn is this good, I will make my Thai Coconut Soup this way from now on.

Carrot soup. I made it edible
I've tried before and it was awful! So I roasted 4 carrots, an onion and a few garlic cloves. Then put in a pan with water, sage, salt, pepper and a pinch of chilli fakes. Simmered on low then blitzed.

Roasting the carrots is probably they key!
Today's pot-roasted pheasant with apples, cider, onions, turnips - this is after browning the pheasant but prior to the pot roasting - a little cream is added to the reduced sauce later.

Just a kiwi thing I think, stuffed sausage. Mash potato and cheese. Tomato sauce.
