Re: quality food...
cooked up an epic moroccan feast last night.
nom and half.
- carrot and orange salad will be getting a good run, so crisp and fresh and easy. carrots, fresh orange juice, orange blossom water and a little cinnamon. YUMMO!
- smashed the turkish delight doughnuts too. not bayd.
- winner of the night was the chicken and almond bastilla though me thinks. spring rollish kinda deal. deeeeelish.
was lovely spending an afternoon in the kitchen. been ages since i had a proper cook off.

The lady got the bread secrets from Gramps. Uses a "No-Knead" base method, which still definitely required kneading, but must be easier than normal. My role is in the eating.
Try http://www.snk.com.au
9 grain wholemeal goodness. Next up is olive bread. :drool:
Only been to Gingerboy once ages ago and didn't blow me away (all I remember was fantastic cocktails). Must revisit.
Re: quality food...
haha- how funny- we were on the same paths on the weekend and didn't run into each other!
the Rat is awesome. i love it there
will try bread thanks for that. spelt flour ftw

Re: quality food...
Hey all
Does anyone know of any good cook books that have recipes from scratch? In particular Indian otherwise Moroccan or Thai maybe. What I mean by scratch is making the pastes etc from grounding up the base spices etc before even making the actual meal. Hope that makes sense. Cheers

Aren't most recipes cooked from scratch?
GO CATS! GO CATS!
Re: quality food...
No, I mean making the paste from scratch out of spices with Mortar and Pestle. Lots of recipes just call to add Vindaloo paste or Tom Yum Paste to the ingredients.

no worries, the discovery of spice and herbs from the base up is amazing fun.

Re: quality food...
It is isn't it. I actually bought some herbs off Herbies website and made a curry 'gravy' last night for making up different curries like madras. Got about 2L in the fridge, can't wait to try making a real curry like you get in a restaurant.

gingerboy was a tad fail i thought. tasty food, a little too upity and hip for me tho. plus they tell you to order all this food to share but they cant fit it all onto the table. and i dont like the "two sittings" restaurants either. grumble grumble.
went to anada the other night and had banquet. pretty good. beef cheeks ftw.
