Interesting mix, the grapes and cashews! Grapes are tasty.
Just move those onions aside and I'm sure it'd be delicious!

For general understanding of what I'm into...just gonna post a few pictures I found on my HD of stuff I did with/for my girlfriend.
(I think she's really happy that I'm a cook..especially considering she can't do it [yet] )

(I do not own a good cam, so sadly the impact of how good it actually looked and tasted is destroyed)



Stuffed paprika (there's mince inside) with rösti and tomato sauce. (This was made before I started my professional cook-education)


Rumpsteak with roasted jacket potatoes and peppersauce.


asparagus cream soup.


...chicken breast with tomato-slices, rasped zucchini, pesto au gratin with mozzarella...sesame-roasted jacket potatoes and leaf spinach in curry-brew....(my own invention...tasted amazing )

Doing every from scratch by the way...just hate those completed products full of shit

Kevmaster, I would love to challenge you someday. Your stuffed pepper looks awesome, but I usually use green because they're cheaper.

That asparagus cream soup is interesting. Did you shred the asparagus?

A real org iron chef?

Yep. You don't have to shred it, but that's what I do. If you want to save money, usually the asparagus-brew that arises from general cooking will have enough power to make the soup still taste good but I prefer to shred it and keep it in the soup to enhance the intensity. If you don't, you'll have two meals. So that's your choice. Just make sure to cut the asparagus in really small pieces. You'll want to strain through a sieve anyway, but the fibers will wrap the blades of your immersion blender (similiar to what can happen with leek).
I also put a little bit of honey into the cooking water which gives the asparagus a little extra-kick. Just don't overdo it, you can easily destroy the taste by making it taste too sweet. Oh, don't forget a pinch of nutmeg.

This: http://www.rotaryribfest.org/ is happening in my town this weekend. Went last year and the food was so good. I want to spend the entire weekend there this year. Trying to get people to go tomorrow or tonight after work right now.

Interesting. I think I'm going to try that.

Lambs shanks on mashed potato with peas and corn. Lamb shanks were braised, placed on a base of onion, coated in mushrooms and garlic, and then left to sit in the oven on a low heat for four hours, in a mixture of australian beer (Boag's, not Fosters), diced tomato, a touch of stock powder, with some thyme, oregano and basil.

It was delicious. On to my next project.
