Alphie in the Kitchen: Slow roasted lamb & chilli fetta carrots

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2013/06/slow-roasted-lamb-chilli-fetta-carrots.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Slow roasted lamb and chilli fetta carrots. In the low calorie. Obsession of the last 12 months, I bought a number of cookbooks I would not have otherwise. On reflection, most of the books are are quite weird but one that has had more than it's fair share of gems, is Jane Kennedy's OMG! I Can Eat That? A recent favourite thanks to a continuing excess of carrots that arrive in our fruit and vege delivery. Is also found in OMG! I Can Eat That? I Can Eat That?

Alphie in the Kitchen: October 2012

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Friday, October 19, 2012. Ottolenghi, Islington, London. It's been a long time coming, but this is the last instalment of our London dining adventures. We only booked two restaurants before we left Australia; Dinner. I have sung my praise for Ottolenghi's book, Plenty, many times already on this blog. House made bread with olive oil. Grilled pear with Roquefort, spicy macadamia, mixed leaves. And orange blossom dressing. Mixed green beans with shaved asparagus, garlic, chilli,.

Alphie in the Kitchen: May 2013

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Wednesday, May 29, 2013. My Week on a Plate - Mining Camp Style. Dearest Readers (if I have any left! It has been far far to long between drinks. I do have a somewhat reasonable excuse though. I have spent a large proportion of the last 6 months in Port Hedland, working 12 hour days, often for 12 days at a time (and with only 2 days off! And, when I wasn't in Port Hedland, Mr Alphie and I were on holiday in North America - more on that later. We start on a Thursday evening. Every c...

Alphie in the Kitchen: Microwave Potato Chips

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2013/08/microwave-potato-chips.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. This recipe, if you can call it that, is an oldie in our house, but I still love it. I don't follow the original instructions exactly, mostly because it calls for equipment I don't have, and am unlikely to use for anything else (plastic microwave-safe steaming rack, anyone? Slice the potato into thin, even, rounds. I use a mandoline/v-slicer thingo, with the 'thin' blade attachment. And now this is where the magic happens. I think I've tried sweet potato...

Alphie in the Kitchen: The characters

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/p/characters.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. My loving husband. Also an engineer, with his own cooking specialities - bread is his forte; bagels, pizza bases, pastry (puff and shortcrust), all things I am hopeless at! One of FH Alphie's closest friends. Another engineer, who, surprise surprise, is in the Navy, doing something to do with weapons electrical (don't quote me! My younger sister, a journalist now living in Tassie. A semi-veggo who shares my love for cooking, food and clothes. Mr and Mrs Pink. Mr Alphie and I went t...

Alphie in the Kitchen: Mid-Winter Favourite Things

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2013/07/mid-winter-favourite-things.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Saturday, July 13, 2013. In this dreary part of winter, where rugging up against the cold is beginning to loose its charm; and the short days, while getting longer, are not doing so fast enough; I've started thinking about some of my favourite things, things that make me happy. In no particular order, we have. A selection of sparkling water. A freezer of one-person meals. Lunch or dinner in minutes. Tea and a selection of foodie magazines. Red wine, Riedel glassware and the fire.

Alphie in the Kitchen: July 2012

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Saturday, July 14, 2012. Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, London. While we were in London, despite my fanatical behaviour over the booking process. English friends of ours came to our rescue, suggesting we try Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. More aligned with How to cook like Heston. And In Search of Perfection. Think of the burger featured on MasterChef last year. My kitchen is never that tidy! But we did spy Matt Moran. Chatting with the crew on his way out after a meal. Due to my reluc...

Alphie in the Kitchen: September 2013

http://alphieinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Alphie in the Kitchen. Monday, September 9, 2013. Massive fan of Middle Eastern food. And falafels in particular. But what I am not a fan of, is deep frying at home. Too. Freaking. Scary. Mr Alphie is totally unfussed by deep frying however, so I usually have to wait for him to be home from FIFO before I can indulge my habit. If you’ve ever tried baking falafels made from a dried box-mix, you will know my pain. They are like rocks. 8230; However, I have not really had much success in the past. In a food ...

Alphie in the Kitchen. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Title: A solution to the macaron-bakers dilemma. After extensive recipe reading, I came up with something that I was pretty sure would work. It's primarily a combination of a Donna Hay recipe. And one from I blogger I haven't read before - Little Accidents In The Kitchen. 189; cups plain flour. 125g chilled butter, cut into cubes. 189; cup icing sugar. 1 tbs iced water. Lining the tin. The pastry is a little thick, but my arms. Were sore from all the rolling!
