Ew, ok. Imagine the exact same results except you can do about 40 things more and in a fraction of the time.
Oh look at all this retard! A retard that can make spag bol in about 4 minutes that tastes like it's been cooked inside the vagina of the Virgin Mary for three years.
I'll just get a pressure cooker if I want that.
Things that do 10 things in 1 are always cheap made shit and not worth the money.
Still if it makes you Dundee refined then fire away son.
It wasn't cheap you spaz. Also pressure cookers are dangerous and are limited in functionality. But you enjoy your 8 hour cook times and explosions.![]()
Jack of all, master of none.
The whole point of these things is so you don't need to be a master of anything. They are for making wholesome, unrefined food.
Slow cookers are less hassle but the last time I did pulled pork I used the oven with this James Martin recipe and it was definitely better-

Comfortably the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted.
Went to Gamba in Glasgow yesterday. I had:
Fish soup, Portland crabmeat, prawn dumplings, coriander, stem ginger
Roast stone bass, Caesar salad, Norwegian prawns, baby crayfish tails
Excellent stuff.
Ended the night grabbing something from Desserts on Sauchiehall Street and it was tasty but I'm glad I got stuff to take away because it was fucking full of students and the reek of weed.
Gamba is quality. Haven't been for ages but need to go back.
Crabshakk or Cafe Gandolfi are always my go-to for fish.
I went to Mother Indias cafe last night. Comfortably the best I've had in a while. Indian tapas![]()
Chocolate ganache glaze
Chocolate and peanut mousse
Salted caramel
Genoise soaked in syrup
Peanut praline, feuilletine and milk chocolate base.
The caramel came out a bit firm (I have no idea why, since it's the exact recipe I've used before) but otherwise pretty damn pleased with it, especially considering I had to adapt the mousse recipe to incorporate the peanuts myself.
Sorry Boyd, I did start doing photos as I went along but it was taking too long and I barely had time to get it finished as it was. I promise I will next time I do something a bit simpler like some chocolates.
Looks good. How did it taste?
Really, really good. The sponge looks a bit dry in that photo but it wasn't to eat.
Only thing I would change (made the same mistake with my one at Christmas) is I should have cut the sponge layers thinner so there's a thicker layer of mousse, but live and learn.
That looks![]()
Made a lovely beef roast with baby carrots, red onions, potatoes, mushrooms and some spiced okra.
Was gorgeous and there's plenty of beef left for sandwiches tomorrow.
How did you do it? Okra is enough to draw me into anything and the rest of it sounds pretty up my street too.
Got a decent bit of beef, seasoned it with salt, pepper and oregano.
Then chopped some red onions and put the beef on top (so the fat drops down), stuck it in for 20 minutes at 240 Celsius. Then added potatoes, mushrooms and carrots to the tray (no oil, beef had produced some fat) at a 190C for about 45 minutes (roughly 15 minutes per 450g for the beef)
Topped and tailed the okra then cut in half. Tossed them with some chilli flakes, ground coriander, touch of oil, cumin seeds and some polenta (crunch) and to the tray for the last 25 minutes.
Making Jambalaya in my IP obvs. Had to use Kabanos instead of that pretend French sausage but it may be my new favourite thing.
Just downed a Chettinad chicken and with ½&½. Lovely gear.
Did that beef the other day mahow. Overdid it a bit annoyingly but the rest of it was very good. Definitely need to use my Dutch oven more often.
Went to Opium in Glasgow last night because we couldn't get a table anywhere else. Fucking top notch, some of the best Asian food I've had that wasn't in Hong Kong. Strange you never hear in mentioned in terms of must-eat-at places here because I'd rate it as such.
Off out for a MASSIVE curry tonight with my mum and sister.
Akbars![]()
How big we talking?
What a fucking food day today.
Went for brunch at an awesome little place in the south side of Glasgow.
Deep fried panko duck egg with toasted brioche, mushrooms cream and wine sauce and Parmesan.
Absolutely fucking life changing.
Went to the local fishmongers and picked up some cod and langoustines to make this which was also most enjoyable.

Now finishing it off with some whisky cokes and a salted peanut brownie from the brunch place![]()
lovely stuff, Adamski.
I've had a hungover subway and a vegetable stir-fry with salmon. Both were merely alright.
Some night last night though eh? I got steaming and fell asleep halfway through Graham Norton, not sure who's worse off.
Too fucking healthy.
I had roll and sausage (oo er) instead and it was fucking fantastic.
That dish looks stunningly good.
I'm not even that much of an egg man.
T'was. They've been knocking out some excellent dishes since they opened but we lucked out on the specials today.
The missus had Welsh rarebit with smoked haddock, mustard, bechamel and black pudding which was awesome too.
That looks great. Where's it from, Adamski?
Cafe Strange Brew.
The problem with that photo is that the portion looks too small.
lol buzzfeed but some of these are quite funny.

The chicken tikka pancake looks brilliant.
Just made roast veg, chicken and couscous. It was hardly a taste sensation, but it was pretty good. Couple of nights ago I made a fucking quality curry, if I do say so myself.
Made a paste of garlic, ginger, fresh green chillies and shit loads of fresh coriander. Fried that in some coconut oil, then added ground cumin, coriander, turmeric and a bit of garam masala. Added some tinned tomatoes, cooked it out for half an hour, then added chicken and green peppers. Tiny bit of cream at the end, and more coriander. Well good.
Oh, there was chicken stock as well.
The wife's after a fucking Magic Pot @Magic hahaha
Show her some pictures of what he's made in it and that'll put that idea to bed fairly quick.
I'm having beef in black pepper sauce and rice tonight along with a bag of deep fried chicken balls from the Chinese. I had the same thing last night. I feel like a right fat bastard.
I made pulled beef by doing a round roast in barbeque sauce in the slow cooker yesterday. Was fucking savage stuff today.
Made homemade pizza tonight. Dough ended up being 50/50 white and wholemeal flour as i ran out of white.
Pizza had:
Tomato puree
Chedder
Mozzarella
Bacons
Ham
Pepper
Red onion
Sweetcorn
Chicken
Roast veg and couscous again. Added artichokes this time, thank you Tony Blair.
Eyeing up some curry sauce and dumpling recipes. For separate meals, like. I could never bring those two together. Both look like they can be done in 20 minutes which suits me fine.

Went there today.
Tried the Korean Fried Chicken, Mandoo (dumplings), kimchi and for the table BBQ we had mixed mushrooms, belly pork, rib galbi and boolgogi with some fried noodles.
It was stunning and everything I hoped a Korean BBQ place would be. The KFC was a bit shit but everything else was brilliant, especially the rib galbi and boolgogi.
Only bad thing is that the kimchi was so good that I wont be able to eat the stuff I usually get as it's so much inferior. It had the perfect level of sourness from the fermentation and had the right amount of spice.

Made this last weekend and it's been feeding me all week. Caramelising the onions was a FAFF but it's delicious.
(@ Mahow) Get it ordered in from New Malden (or drive there) if you want the proper stuff.
Bulgogi beef and bibimbap make life just about worth living.
Korean food strikes me as a bit elaborate to say you have to eat it whilst not looking away from your work station/StarCraft.
