There's nothing quite like rewarding yourself for your hard work. Today, I spent something over 3 hours in the gym, broken into two separate sessions. With close to an hour of cardio, and 2 plus hours of strength training, a little bit of pampering was earned and desired. I started off by steaming a lobster tail and some unpeeled shrimp earlier, immediately covering them on ice when they were done. Cooking everything in their shells makes them more flavorful, and icing them both protects their flavor and texture for later. The pasta was a mild Alfredo with some roasted red bell peppers added to the mix. I used the same ingredients that I would use in an Alfredo, I just used less of them to avoid overpowering the main feature. The trick to reheating shellfish is to either do it on real high heat to sear and crisp the surface, or on a real low heat to ensure it stays tender and moist. I opted to do the latter, along with my own personal touch. I chopped the lobster and put it in a covered saucepan along with the shrimp, butter, powdered garlic, and Parmesan cheese. This helps add a little flavor to them and makes them stand out that little bit more. Simple, clean flavors have always been my preferred method of cooking, and some of the world's most famous dishes have no more than 3 or 4 ingredients. The trick is to make the most out of every one of them. #creativity #socialnetworking #chef #culinaryarts #opentoconnect

Wheat-free dessert. My latest cooking experiment: pear and cardamom almondine courtesy of Sarah (another with the patience and understanding of a beekeeper’s wife).??I was testing out with the amazingly complex Thermomix that has been languishing on the worksurface until friend, Joan, dedicated a day to explaining it to me.??A couple of buttons, a timer and a dial turned basic ingredients into the makings of this utterly delicious dessert, without a trace of wheat.?? ? 100g caster sugar 100 g butter, softened. 100 g ground almonds. Half teaspoon cardamon seeds. 1 teaspoon cornflour. 1 egg. 2 pears, cored, quartered and each slice halved length-ways. A drizzle of honey. Preheat oven to 180C, Gas 4 and lightly butter an 8 inch loose-bottomed tin. Cream butter and sugar. Mix in ground almonds, cardamom and cornflour followed by the egg. Place mix in tin and arrange pear slices, peel-side down, before drizzling with honey.?? Cook 25-35 minutes until the edges are firming, the middle has risen and reached at least 90C. My Tips: Instead of or in addition to the honey, top with 20g flaked almonds once the tart has cooked for about 20 minutes and return to the oven. We also succeeded with a basic Hollandaise sauce to go with the last of this year’s asparagus – beyond me to stir egg yolks and butter etc in a pan over heat without producing scrambled eggs.??The Thermamix did it all and kept the temperature accurate.??More experiments to come … (no picture, it all got eaten too fast!) #thermomix #blindbaker #bakingblind #almondine #pear #cardamom?

???? It's Friday, and you know what that means - time to fire up the grill and get cooking! Whether you're a seasoned grill master or just starting out, here's your ultimate guide to grilling perfection 1. Preheat & Crack Open: Get that grill preheated while you crack open a cold one. For gas grills, aim for 375-450°F, and for charcoal, wait until the coals are glowing like your buddy's latest idea. 2. Choose Your Meat, Choose Your Brew: From juicy burgers to succulent steaks, pair each protein with a beer that complements its flavor. Just like finding the perfect wingman, except it's for your taste buds. 3. Grill Masters & Misters: Place your protein on the grill and resist the temptation to flip more than you flip jokes. Let it sizzle and soak up those flavors while you entertain the crowd with your grilling wisdom (or lack thereof). 4. Veggie Vibes & Beer Goggles: Don't forget the veggies! Brush 'em with olive oil, season 'em up, and watch 'em char to perfection. Just like finding balance in life, except it's on your plate. 5. Sauce Boss & Brew Crew: Elevate your grilling game with sauces and sides that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. Think of it as dressing up your meal, but with a side of hops. 6. Safety First, Beer Second: Keep an eye on those flames while you juggle your beer and tongs. Safety might be the priority, but we all know beer comes in a close second. Cheers to Beers & BBQ: Finally, raise your glasses (or cans) to good times, great friends, and even greater food. Because nothing brings people together like beer, BBQ, and belly laughs. Cheers, grill champs! ????

Watermelon Salad with Cucumber and Feta is an easy to make, refreshing salad to make this summer! Salty, sweet and perfect alongside your favorite grilled protein! Easy to make – No cooking, baking, or marinating involved with this salad. Simply chop the watermelon, cucumber, feta, and herbs. Then squeeze on the lime juice. The ingredients: ??Watermelon – If you can get a mini watermelon it’s the perfect size for this salad otherwise any sized seedless watermelon. See my tips below for how to pick out a good watermelon. ??Cucumber – Persian cucumbers are what I recommend for this salad. They’re super crunchy, and you don’t need to peel or remove the seeds. Alternatively you can use an English cucumber. ??Feta – Buy a block of feta and cube it yourself if possible. The flavor and texture are superior to pre-crumbled feta. ??Mint and basil – Fresh herbs are a must for this salad. The mint and basil combined lend a sweet, fresh, and light anise flavor to the salad. ??Lime – Use fresh squeezed lime juice, not bottled. Adds a tart citrus flavor that tastes amazing with the watermelon. ??Olive oil – A drizzle of olive oil balances the acidity of the lime. Instructions: Cut the watermelon – The most time consuming part of making this salad if you had to pick something is cutting the watermelon. Chop remaining ingredients – Slice the cucumber, cut the feta into cubes, chop the mint and basil and add them to a serving bowl with the cubes of watermelon. Squeeze in the juice of a lime, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together and that’s all there is to it!
