Home made Italian meatballs. 

 

I've been making Burritos the last few days.

Incredibly quick, easy and cheap to make the flour tortillas.

Filled with Chinese stir-fry, chicken, bell pepper, mushrooms, bean sprouts and Chinese 5 spice.

Makro had big avocados on sale, so I bought a few. Let them ripen for a few days in a paper bag and made guacamole today. Multi-grain bread with guac, a fried egg and a few pan-fried slices of 5-star smoked chicken roll... deeeeelicious!

BMT,

Would you please give us your flour tortillas recipe?

Do not want to sound like I am bragging, but my wife is a gourmet chef. Self taught. Amazing cook. Outstanding Thai food. She learned the basics from her mom, then studied gourmet Thai food when we lived on Samui, at a Thai cooking school. Lately, she has been learning alot of new recipes on youtube. And recently, she took lessons from a gal who used to run a superior Italian restaurant, trained in Milan for a few years, then came back here to start the restaurant. She moved overseas, and became a head chef at a restaurant in New Zealand. Now, she is back, and my wife struck a deal with her to take Italian cooking lessons. Fifteen hours, over four days. She is now making outstanding pizzas (made with Italian flour, olive oil, homemade pizza sauce, and imported mozzarella or goat cheese!), home made pastas, bruschetta, baguettes, bread sticks, pasta sauces, etc. Way better than I can find in most really good Italian restaurants. I just bought her an Italian made Marcato pasta roller, and a pasta drying rack. Fun stuff.

May I kindly ask for the Pizza Receipt then ? And the equipment used, being as specific about the ingredients (its actually only the dough that is of greatest interest) and preparation as possible and even stating where to get them (the Italian flour for example). No problem for the mozarella, olive oil and pizza sauce). After nearly 3 years in Thailand now the best restaurant I know for Pizza is only on Koh Chang and this is more than 5 hours by car from where we live. And I have tried many many other Italian Restaurants. None of them close in quality to what I know from Italy or Switzerland. We do not have enough space for a Pizza Oven in our condo.

Oh, and I forgot, where did you get this pasta drying rack ? This is interesting too.

 

Thanks a lot.

More extraneous stuff and adverts than this site?

Hopefully this thread stays alive, so my chocolate crinkle brownies baked this morning.

Nice! I’m cooking a Lasagna tonight, I’ll try to remember to take some pics. 

 

 

The wife whipped up a pandas dessert. 

 

 

Bread and butter pudding. Butter an oven proof dish. Layer buttered stale bread sprinkled with raisins, sugar and cinnamon. Pour over a custard of 1 egg, sugar, half a pint of milk with nutmeg and vanilla extract.Mash down with the back of a spoon. Put in a pre-heated halogen oven at 180c for 25 minutes. Eat.

Thanks. Not my taste, but the Mrs. will definitely love this. Plus very easy to make.

 

Lasagna & garlic bread. The lasagna freezes great and will feed the three of us four times. 

 

The garlic butter lasts months in the fridge...

I think I’ll try that with some caramelized apple slices to go with the raisins, although we don’t seem to keep bread around long enough to get stale...

The dough looks just how I personally like it, not too crispy.

I'm sure it tasted delicious.

I'd be tempted to polish it all off, the molasses are a good addition.

I buy mine premade from Makro.You get thin or xtra thickI prefer the thinner ones.They are very cheap too.

I only have a fan oven, but all in all ,they taste loads better than those ones you buy in the Plaza.
