    Fillet steak, flat pan with butter constantly basted.

    Steamed broccoli I

    Potato gratin.

    Bloody excellent anniversary dinner for around 12 pounds with a taste profile of 7.5/10.

    Learning how to perfect a steak is a constant learning experience. I thought I could cook a good steak but then you learn something new.

    Complacency is the enemy.

    Was flicking through some books and thought some of you guys might like to try this.
    Some guests we had brought me a Brick Lane cookbook as a gift as I spent some time working there. This is from the famous Beigel Shop.

    Had home made KFC tonight based on the leaked recipe

    20200408_095921.jpg

    Broke down a whole chicken and pre-brined overnight. There was enough dredging flour for 3kg of chicken I reckon so I was disappointed at the waste. The right sided line of pieces was batch one, oil was too hot

    Screenshot_20200411-200036_Gallery.jpg

    Got the temperature (350F) much better on the later batches

    Tasted pretty damn close to the real thing

    @canefan the stuff in KFC is cooked in a pressure cooker, IIRC about 180c for 14 mins...all the breading that fell to the bottom was then used for the gravy, I think they stopped doing that years ago though.

    Thought the leftover sludge looked familiar!

    @Catogrande Yeah I love seasoning any large piece of lamb or beef with anchovy. My wife rails at the suggestion, but the amount of times she's eaten anchovy-seasoned meat and not known it....

    There's a decent joke there

    It's the Japanese umami thing. When you stab holes and stuff a lamb leg with garlic and a piece of anchovy, every bite you have that contains stuffing is so much better than the rest

    @Hooroo Bacon AND chilli. You are just fucking crazy!

    So O.K. Chilli boy (yeah sorry, missing the rugby). Some help please.

    A mate has decided to give me a quiz and handed me a random bag of various scoville ratings. As much as my wife can drive me crazy, I'm not yet at the point of giving her a Carolina reaper in her food. Give me another week of lockdown.

    Could you please identify these? I have some clues but can't identify all of them.
