Food pictures...

Carla

Angie's food pics from her recent trip motivated this post. I enjoy cooking, and sometimes when I am wearing lots of dark, somber clothes, food provides colour!

I do take pictures of food in progress!

Recent meals below!

#1+2 turkey pie, and #3+4 Paella.

Please post your own foodie pics!

Wooohooooo. FUN. EXCELLENT. Like the look of the pie, Runcarla.

I LOVE to cook, and do a lot of it. We also have lots of dinner parties. Some go to the gym to relax - I cook to relax. Food is a big deal in our lives, and we absolutely eat carbs. (In fact, Greg and I both come from families that take cooking and food very seriously). But I am also big on nutrition and "Super Food" so what we eat is carefully bought, curated, and all made from scratch. (I don't eat or cook mammals, or drink alcohol or coffee).

(I used to have a catering biz when we lived in France).

Some recent examples of what I cooked at the Cox Castle - say over the last month:

Dutch Smoked Turkey Sausage Stew
Dutch "Hut Spot" & Pea Mint Soup
Lemon Meringue Pie (which Greg makes, and is the best in the world).
Indonesian Sweet Ayam Ketchup
Milk Tart
Dutch Cheese Pastries - "Vlammetjes"
Lemon Chicken & Fennel Stroganoff
Pear Crumbler
Breakfast Popovers with Rocket & Spicy Yoghurt
Salmon & Lentils
Chicken Cattitore
Apple Galette & Cashew Cream
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps & Peanut Dressing

Yum! Love food and cooking too. Wish I had taken a pic last night of the Tamarind Orange Glazed Chicken and Cauliflower Sweet Potato Pea Curry we made. Also had Naan with a yogurt mint/cilantro dip (with Garam Masala in it). We love Indian spices.

Everything looks delicious.

I haven't taken any pics for a long time, but here are few, including: brisket in a red wine sauce, with hazelnut orange green beans, and quinoa; sugar-free, low carb bourbon salted caramel cupcakes; sugar-free, low carb cheesecake; macarons; and baked cauliflower pancakes with pomegranate cream.

I mostly love cooking and eating. It is of course high summer here so we have lots of local fruits and veges available. I grow tomatoes, zucchini, lettuce, rocket and herbs....

I eat everything except I try to avoid too many processed foods (I love crisps though) and I try not to over do sugar. I do eat meat, poultry and seafood, I drink coffee and wine, and I love all fruits and most vegetables. I have come to the conclusion that over thinking diet is not great for me - I am a natural moderate person and while I occasionally have to recalibrate, I would rather relish my food.

Here are a couple of pics.1.

Birthday cake for the 12 year old. Lemon yoghurt cake with lemon curd and creme fraiche inside, with a lemon glaze icing.

Tuatua fritters at the beach with some salad on the side. These are sort of like a clam.

Views at the beach - morning and night!

My zucchini plant - the best to grow, so rewarding!

Oh WOW, everyone's dishes look absolutely scrumptious, and like you Carla, all the colours make me happy! (love your "action pics" too.)

I LOVE to see what other people are cooking!! (Maybe we should make this a regular feature in the OT section?)

Below a few of mine (sorry that some of the pics are a little dark).

- chocolate mousse and yogurt fool with pineapple for dessert on New Year's Eve
- Belgian waffles on Christmas day
- prawns with veggie couscous and pomegranate seeds
- eggs in purgatory (based on a Nigella Lawson recipe)
- soupy veggie curry (served it with brown rice on the side)

I shouldn't be looking at this while on the train, with on hour and a half 'till dinner!

Soups look delicious, Angie!

Texstyle, your curry sounds yummy! Monday is curry night in our house with DS#1 doing the honours. Sometimes we use cauliflower pulsed through the food processor and steamed lightly as an alternative to rice.

GF! You make macaroons?!

Sally, zucchinis rock! I grew mine in pots on the deck (we live on a ravine, and creatures are a problem). We had zuchinnis all summer and everyone wanted to know what those plants in the pots were.

Inge, your eggs in purgatory take the prize. I must look them up!

Here is today's dinner (#1)! Chicken paillards over sautéed escarole, recipe from my current favorite cookbook, Sunday Suppers at Lucques by Suzanne Goin. I served this with farro, which is not pictured.

#2 is a Chinese meal consisting of homemade potstickers (although I used storebought wrappers), braised beef shank with eggs, and steamed veggies.

#3 is a no-knead panettone I made for Christmas, from the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes book.

Oh, this is a very interesting thread Runcarla! I am afraid I like eating more than cooking I see excellent cooks here!

Runcarla, yeah, I went through a macaron phase! I haven't done it for many months now, but hoping to make a batch soon! Chocolate, pistachio, rose, salted caramel, lavender, chai, etc. It's hard to make them if you're the only one eating them! Cream puffs and eclairs are much easier.

Inge's photos are making me hungry.

Our entire family loves to cook, and to eat, and often our holiday pictures are mostly of the food.

Here's a few of mine from the past year.

1. Lemon meringue pie
2. Roasting the pie pumpkin for Thanksgiving
3,4. Rainbow trout stuffed with rice and shrimp
5. Bibimbap
6,7,8. Heart healthy breakfasts
9. August birthday cake chez nous: Angel food cake with whipped cream and local berries
10. Burrito bowl
11. The kale I left in the garden over winter flowered, so I sautéed the blossoms in olive oil with garlic, raisins, and pine nuts, the way I do kale. It was wonderful, better than broccoli rabe, much sweeter than kale leaves. So I left some in again this winter.
