What did you cook/eat today (January 2018)?

You will still not convince me about sous vide cooking either. That fat on the side of the chop looks almost raw to me.

What you need is a blowlamp like mine. It won't look raw after a minute or two of that!

Red tomatoes, a tiny onion, red horn shaped Iberian peppers, Green Italian horn pepper, Bio Green Evoo and Vinaigrette Jerez de La Frontera .. a pinch of salt & some fresh minced herbs from the terrace .. Nothing more, nothing less .. Served with Chapata from a wonderful Catalan Bakery and a glass of Cava ..

Last night was comfort food.

New Year's baked ham from the freezer = Gooey ham mac and cheese with a salad. Gruyere, sharp cheddar and Jarlsberg cheese. Topped with grated Parmesan Reggiano. Baked until the parm was golden. The salad was mixed greens with grape tomatoes sliced , sliced red grapes, EVOO, Balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper topped with crumbled Gorgonzola.

Absolutely a marvel of a salad ..

The baby octopus is a "job" however, accustomed to the labors ..

Very simple and surely elegant too .. Should of served in Large Stemware !!

Have a nice day ..

@ElizabethB

1 slice to pick before going into the Macaroni and Cheese !!

Ha Ha !!!

Is this a glazed ham with cloves, orange marmelade and Brown sugar ?

Have a lovely day ..

@Francesca I looked up the recipe and added it to my favorites.

This evening I made spicy lamb mince curry, a Tom Kerridge recipe. It took a lot of work to organise and prep ready to cook because I am not an accomplished cook, however it worked out really well. Made the full amount and put half in the freezer, I think we will need to run some colour through it.

It was very good, had a lovely, deep earthy flavour.

Well done @Lullabelle - you are keeping your New Year's resolution (unlike me)! It looks good.

Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Shepherd's pie, though it's technically a cottage pie since it's made mostly with ground beef and a bit of ground pork. It's a 3 layer meatloaf, meatloaf on the bottom, a mix of carrots, onions, green and yellow squash, topped with mashies. Craig uses Paul's very hot sauce for beef, but it's more than spicy enough for me.
