Hello! I like making needlessly complex dinners and wanted a place to put them all.
I enjoy schnitzel! This one was fine. The flavour was great and the dredge was ok. I use panko and cornflour to get a better crunch. A few patches where it broke away, with regret. Red wine and stock jus reduced down well, started with a roux and then just balanced it out and it went nicely.

It was...fine....the lemon white wine sauce was nice and added a sharpness that I'd not normally get with a poultry dish. The egg dredge of the shallow fry made it a bit like an omelette which I didn't love. Potatoes good.

The RecipeTinEats naan is always my fav. It's an easy no knead recipe with a quick rise and it behaves very well. A very hot skillet with a lid is the best way to replicate a tandoor without losing too much moisture and softness. The chicken is a seasoned yoghurt marinade then grilled

The 70% hydration made this super soft and light but hard to handle. I'd have done a fridge ferment to develop flavour too the second time. A 275⁰ oven was fine but it needed a rapid super high heat to get the leopard spotting on the crust that it missed. The passata was decent however.

I liked this! Its novel to have a spiced sauce which isn't in a curry of some kind. The shred on the meat for more surface area was a good sauce carrier. Rice cooker rice was a bit dull and probably could have benefitted from seasoning when cooking other than salt.

Mostly good! The sauce reduced a bit too much. Croquettes really good, the seasoning on the crumb helped it a lot but oil temperature too high I feel. Compound butter pretty good!
