New cookbooks , time and a good reason.
I decided to try some new things over the holidays . Nothing overly exciting came out of it but I learned a few new things and had good fun in the kitchen.
I cooked from the Relae cookbook : Pickled Mackerel with lemon skin puree and Cauliflower mash.
The mackerel was nice and and the preparation totally new to me , so was the lemon skin puree.
The Cauliflower mash was not our thing at all all …
Also on the menu were the stuffed onions from Ottolenghis and sami tamimis Book “Jerusalem” they were nice but but consistency was way to soggy. I will give them an other go with a different, firmer rice.
With the jewish menu choice I pleased the mother in law more than the husband … the red bitter salad with oranges he hated which I should have known. Sweet stuff in salads is a no go with him.
But when it was time for the christmas pudding, ruhm and soul 7″ we were all happy.
