Well, got off to a bit of a bad start having lurched from take-away to fast food at the weekend. I must try harder. Although, my wife Anna has been putting me to shame having cooked four dishes from Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food.
The plan for this weekend is a nice winter warmer of Beef Casserole, Buttered Savoy Cabbage and Mustard Mash. I will follow this with Gordon’s Apple Pudding.
There could be one draw back from following Gordon Ramsey recipes and that is on his preference of taking a well know dish and adding a few extras to enhance the overall flavour. These extras though are generally either a little expensive, or are used once in a small quantity leaving a lot left over to possibly spoil.
Looking through all the recipes I need items such as sherry vinegar, groundnut oil, gooseberry conserve, kirsch, rosewater, hazelnut oil, walnut oil, stem ginger syrup, sesame oil, Grand Marnier, etc.
I think my plan will have to be substituting (or leaving out) a particular ingredient where possible without too much compromise and/or to make sure that I plan to use up any remainder ingredients timely in other recipes.
I may also have to look to borrow a chefs blow torch and pasta maker at some point.

LOL! I might have to borrow some kirsch and Grand Marnier at some point. Not to cook with, you understand, but just to drink.
ReplyDeleteYou see, Nigel doesn't use such poncy ingredients! This is what you get for following Gordon.
