March 2018. That was the expected delivery date of my new internet connected sous vide but I am sorry to say it is still in development with no real hope of seeing it in 2018. It's a shame as I was looking forward to it kick starting my creativity but instead it has somewhat put me off kick starter as a way of buying things. Two delayed kick starter projects and a delayed indiegogo project. The latter being an Aquaforno II. I guess they will all turn up one day but until then I need to stick with the kit I have or I can buy on line or in the store that is available and not a pipe dream.
I was chatting with a work colleague today and I showed him this rather neglected blog. 15 minutes later I remembered
a) how much I enjoyed writing it
b) how much I have neglected my cooking skills of late
I guess I ought to brush off the pots and pans and get back in the kitchen. The summer and salad days are over so we can get down to some real cooking. Since the last time I was writing this the equipment in the kitchen has had an addition. I finally invested in a Thermomix and Cookido.
When it first arrived I decided to test out the machine and the platform with sweet potato curry. It sounded like my worst nightmare. A simple vegetable curry. How wrong I was. I followed the recipe here https://cookidoo.co.uk/vorwerkWebapp/app#/recipe/8837276385910 and was rewarded with an excellent curry for one. Since then I have enjoyed cakes, sauces and meals prepared with the aid of this wonderful tool. I will start to add some comments on my adventures here from now on.
I enjoy all aspects of food. From the field to the palate. In this blog I will describe my adventures in the kitchen, at restaurants and food fairs and may even share the odd recipe. I am an accomplished cook who is happy at the camp fire or using a sous vide. I hope you enjoy my adventures as much as I do
