Food.

[WhiteRabbit 112]

I love food, and I love cooking. I don't tend to eat much in the day, maybe a bit of toast.

 

But come the evening, I always have a real good feed. For a skinny b*****d, I can put it away.

 

And since i've ended up gluten and dairy intolerant, i've had to do a bit of experimenting with stuff to cook. But it's great in a lot of ways, because I basically can't eat any pre prepared food, so need to cook everything from scratch myself.

 

Anyway, I was wondering. . . . what's your favourite food?

 

And what's your favourite thing to cook for other folk? Be it the Mrs, Kids or Friends.

 

Kudos to you man but can I ask you what you tend to cook?

 

I'm a lactose intolerant diabetic and now being tested for celiac disease.... I'm a bit more awkward than you

I don't let it hold me back, as like you said, it's best eating what we do than these pre prepared food.

 

Any tips would be great

I was an incredibly fussy eater from childhood into my early 20's, so much so, that just going to someone's for dinner became stressful.......

& then in the space of a year, I went from being like that to wanting to try any & everything!.......& the world of food opened up to me in a big way, helped along the way by foreign travel.

I've been cooking seriously now for almost ten years, prompted mainly from being with someone who could barely boil an egg, so I had to step up.......& we ate well.

I've since married a women who can cook, but I still do all the cooking & even all the baby food from scratch. I cook quite a lot of salmon, salmon & broccoli bake, chowder, etc.

Pork tenderloin cooked with garlic confit is a favourite.

Calf's liver in various dishes.

Lots of slow cooked stuff.

Thai curries & Indian curries.

Roast leg of lamb probably brings me the most satisfaction.......

 

Last week I was about to buy some wagyu beef for our wedding anniversary........but at 140 per kilo.....I bottled it at the last second!......gonna research that one a bit more first....;-)

that wagyu beef is worth it I used too eat in Australia the farm I worked on raised them for the market in Japan it is one of the best steaks ive ever eating

 

aldi are going to be selling wagyu at 7 pound for a 8 oz steak ribeye or sirloin or 25 pound a kilo a quarter of the price of most shops how good the quality is at that price im not sure but nothing ventured nothing gained not sure if thats any good for accip but i might give it a go

I love seafood but not so keen on fish lol. Pork of any kind, just not crackling. Not a massive fan of beef, especially not steak i only like my eggs scrambled otherwise I only eat the yolk! Not keen on hot or spicy food. Anything italian goes down well without the peppers I like cooking from scratch but rarely get the time to do it!

The Mrs has just been diagnosed gluten intolerant and poss cealiac, so that should be fun when she gets back. As for me a slow roasted dead animal with veggies and a home made gravy or a nice seafood tom yom. Another favourite is fish baked in salt with new potatoes, asparagus and a cream and blue cheese sauce!

We cook pretty much all of the stuff we used to cook, only now with a bit more of an eye for detail.

 

So, the last few days, as an example -

 

Tuna Mayo Pasta, spring onion, and as i'm dairy intolerant I can have sheep cheese on it.

 

Home made Indian, Curry, Dahl, Rice etc. Just used coconut milk instead of cream or yoghurt in it, made sure any pastes didn't have any nasties etc.

 

Home made fish and chips, so I battered it myself, just using a gluten free plain flour, and egg (think the gluten free flour is rice flour, rye etc), Did it in a nice spicy batter as well.

 

Steak, Potatoes, Salad etc.

 

Full roast dinner, meat, all the trimmings, gravy (thickened corn flour, or gluten free flour).

 

Home made beef lasagne (with chips on the side).

 

The only trick really is steering clear of pre made, pre packaged food. All meat, veg, fruit etc is free from gluten and dairy, so it's a case of finding out which things you can use to thicken sauces yourself, or make batter with.

 

We even manage stuff like gluten and dairy free cheese sauce, cakes, chocolate brownies, bread and butter pudding.

 

The killer is beer. . . . . it's made with wheat! And Gluten Free beer is expensive and a lot of it is shite.

Jai your a man of many talents.

[TOMO 26,144]

Jia,,,,how did you make the Yorkshires ,,,for your roast with all the trimmings,,,did you use some other flour?

 

And same for lasagne ?

[Ideation 8,216]

Yorkshire Puddings - Gluten Free flour (Gram flour, Rice flour, Cornflour, Potato flour etc), eggs, almond milk, baking soda, baking powder, xantham gum. But you need to sift the flour more, about four times, to get the maximum air in it, so it rises, because the flour is heavier.

 

Lasagne - Gluten Free pasta sheets, meat, veg etc with a dairy free white sauce - which is vitalite melted on the hob, taken off and the mixed with gluten free flour until it makes a dough, then using almond milk (or soya milk) slowly blend together off the heat until it's liquid (milk consistency) then back on the hob and stir like mad while it thickens up so you get no lumps. You can also add sheep or goats cheese.

 

So that's gluten and dairy free. And if you can make a lasagne which is basically cheese and pasta gluten and dairy free. . . . . you can make anything!

Thanks Ideation.

 

It can suck sometimes as being diabetic, things like fruit is packed full of sugar, naturally. And the same for yogurts, low fat yogurts and sources/dressings.

It doesn't hurt as such in small amounts but I'm only early stages of diabetes and young, so, as much sugar I can avoid, I can reverse the effects later on (or now they're saying, even get rid of it entirely!)

 

It helps to cook though and know what is exactly in your food, even for the gluten and sugar free products too.

 

Shall give the curry a go, my mouths watering already
