Title: A 'WOW' day - our cooking journey
Post by: KatieV on January 22, 2011, 10:37:43 am
I just wanted to share with you a fantastic cooking journey that myself, my husband and our TM - Whizza embarked on today.

We made:
- Tikka Paste
- Cheese & Bacon rolls
- Smoothie
- Brown Butter Ice-Cream with Peanut Butter Ganache Swirl
- Butter Chicken

Whilst I know many of you have probably embarked on similar cooking journey's, the thing that amazed myself and my husband is that we did all of this with just ONE cooking applicance!!!  Truely amazing, everything we made was so brilliant and we had a fantastic time preparing everything with surprisingly little mess in the kitchen.

We started with the Tikka Paste, which made the house smell amazing.  Once done, we started marinating the chicken for the Butter Chicken dish.  A quick clean up and it was on to the Cheese & Bacon rolls (thanks Maddy for the fantastic recipe - so much better than the shop bought version) for lunch, but whilst waiting for the prooving - we got a little hungry - so I whizzed (see how my machine got its name  ;)) up a smoothie with some fruit/yoghurt/milk to keep us going until the rolls were ready.  A quick lunch break gave us energy to move on and it was on to the sweet treat and in to the freezer to set.  Tonight was the Butter Chicken (the version from the Indian cookbook), followed by our yummy desert.

Phew, we are both very happy, with full tummies.  So after all that action, it is off to bed for a rest and Whizza is now cleaned and dry and tucked away fast asleep, ready for more action tomorrow.  I won't be far behind him...  ZZZzzzzzz

Cheers,
Katie

Katie, it sounds like a great day was had by all and how nice that you did it together.  Interested in that ice-cream recipe - the only thing on your list I haven't done  ;)  Any chance of posting that one or letting us know where we can find it please.  Oh, there is a rule on this forum that you can't go to bed until you have posted your recipes  ;D ;D :-* :-*

I think H.O. would prefer we don't fundj.  I meant to pm someone last week with a recipe and it ended up on the forum, must have clicked the wrong button but the odd one doesn't hurt - it is all publicity for recipes books  :-)) :-))
