backdated stuff

pide

Giant beef pide my mom made and brought over for lunch. She’s the source of a lot of our meals lately as we’ve been busy, then sick, then tired in that order.

chicken

I promised Damien Pignolet’s recipe for roast chicken, but its really really long, so here’s an alternative tutorial

twine

I didn’t have cooking twine and obviously not an expert at trussing chicken as can be told from the bird above. I dug into my craft box, I can’t remember the last time I did any craft, and pulled this out.

k1

The mess in my tiny kitchen post roast chicken.

k2

No roasting tray so I used a rack suspended above a baking tray. My oven was in a mess though with lots of splaterring and spluttering

cake

Remember that Sherry Yard chocolate pudding cake?

choccake

This is how it looked like inside. Leave me a comment if you’re dying for the recipe and I’ll try to slowly type it out. Its 3 pages long! And I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the net.. The cake itself is nothing special, it was a little dry to me. The pudding filling was quite delicious and a nice change from the usual ganache or butercream frosting.

    That cake looks really delicious! I would kill to have a slice now- I’ll take comfort food in any shape or form I can find it though.

    Oh wait, I just remembered- I have Sherry Yard’s book! Now I’ve got to pull it off the shelf and take a look, even if it means I’ll be dreaming of chocolate cake till the weekend.

    laureen: Good luck with the cake! I had issues with the texture tho, its definitely not a stand alone cake and needs the frosting to boost its flavor..

    Its definitely simpler than the Martha cream puffs u made so I’m sure you’ll find baking it a breeze!
