As you have probably guessed by the title, this is my attempt to create a thread dedicated to food. Yes, I know this is about as off topic as it gets, but aside from RC planes, I absolutely love cooking and baking. So, I thought this might be a nice place for people who are craving a little off topic discussion, to come and indulge in the world of flite test forum cuisine. Come one, come all, and share anything from a fancy meal you enjoyed in a restaurant, to your favourite recipe, or even your own latest culinary experiment.
I might as well set the ball rolling by sharing some of my own culinary creations:
Over the summer it was my parents' wedding anniversary and since I had time off from school I decided to cook them a celebratory meal...
To begin, an amuse bouche, consisting of Devilled egg, melon and parma ham, and a mushroom arancini (deep fried risotto ball)
For my mum's starter, spinach and ricotta gnochi, served with fresh fig, red pepper pesto, and goats cheese.
For my dad's starter, home made potted shrimp, and fresh baked ciobatta,
My mum's main course consisted of a fillet of seared salmon, served with potato dauphinoise, courgette and asparagus, and a beetroot puree.
For my dad, I prepared a roast rack of lamb, with mashed potato, wilted spinach, tomato, and a mint and pea puree.
And finally to finish, they shared a fruit tartlett.
But to anyone else reading this thread, what have you cooked/eaten that you want to share?
