SBS TV Thursday nights (Sydney) great food shows

I think you need young "green" nettles for it to taste good Chookie.
Never had squid ink and never want to either

DH and I just watched Shane Delia - we record it and then watch it together, usually on a Sunday evening.
We love Shane.

I also wondered what that nettle soup would have been like.  Seems unappetising to me, but I guess you have to try something before you dismiss it.  That is why it is great to go to things like that, because you are given the food and you get to try food you ordinarily would not order at a restaurant.  I also enjoyed learning about the chillis in the show after GF.

Too funny.

I saw Shane cooked the eggs in a water bath at 64C for 45 mins.  Do you think you could do something similar in the TMX, with the eggs in the basket and covered by water?

[cookie1]

It would be worth a try. They looked perfect. 

[goldfish]

Can't watch tonight as we are at DD and puppy has chewed up the remote control.  Will catch up later.

    What is it with pups and things technical??  When our now 13 year old terriers were pups they chewed through the tv cable, and the computer cables , , , ,I suppose the leads were soft and chewy but it took quite a bit of fixing!!

Stevie and Emma also create their own fiery chicken curry, green peppercorn prawns, and a delicious strawberry and pepper ripple ice cream.

I'm afraid I am not into these cooking shows as much as the last lot. I do watch them though.
Thanks for the update and reminder GF.

[goldfish]

Kind of feel the same way Cookie.. The first lot were good (kitchen wars notwithstanding)

[achookwoman]

I'm still enjoying them.   Wish they were not all on the same night.   Inspired to make my Pepper and Sage Risotto again.    Enjoying Rachel and the trips around Paris.  Reminds me of our last trip when we had a flat and shopped locally.

[Halex]

Missed it all, every episode, hoping I can urchase on Apple TV.

Evenings are mad here at times, dinner about 6.30, then clearing up home work etc.

 

[goldfish]

Having said what I said before, I must say now that I did enjoy last night's programs  . .more than last week.  Glad, too, I recorded them so I can watch them again at leisure. (TV screen is a little larger than the PC  )  I was taken with the trout dish in the Little Paris Kitchen and would love to try it at some time . .

I thought the name rang a bell - was it some time ago I think it was Maddy who brought out attention to this book . . .
