Quorn isn't vegan Its a dose! But I do have some of this dried soya protein stuff that does a good job. Looks amazing, I'll give it a go!

I don't bother trying to substitute the meat when making mapo tofu at home and just use the Fuchsia Dunlop recipe.

I've only just discovered black pepper tofu using this recipe. It's amazing. I managed to deep dry the tofu in the wok without setting the kitchen on fire too. And now I use the sauce for any kind of stir fry.

Try mapo tofu. (mince pork + tofu in a spicy sauce). You could sub the mince for Quorn.

No thanks. I now know that tofu is completely unnecessary in my diet.

in the local spice bazaar yesterday - always an education. spotted a jar of coconut sport balls (a.k.a. gelatinous mutant coconut balls a.k.a. macapuno). did a bit of research - sorry i didn't buy them now. will next time.

any of you travellers to asia have any experience of mutant coconut?

arancini all'amatriciana.

decorum dictated i stop after 5 but i could have eaten more. usually use ragu with saffron carnaroli, so the amatriciana with paprika & cayenne carnaroli made a nice change.

I had that in (ina restaurant) recently and it was nice.

I've bolded the words that i don't know what they mean or how to pronounce.

arran-cheeny are rice balls. carna-rolly is risotto rice. a-MAT-rich-A-na is a pasta sauce of tomato, bacon and chilli. each one is about the size of a snooker ball.

Not sure if this should be rated imformative or winner.

Hey, we made arancini yesterday. Baby friendly ones though, just mozzarella, rice and breadcrumbs. Lovely though with a bit of seasoning.

clearing out recent images from the phone...

breakfast, saturday april 28th - chocolate chip brioche (worth waking up at 4.30 am for the second rise)

dessert, sunday april 29th - raspberry clafoutis

dessert, sunday may 13th - raspberry meringue roulade (or what's left of it after i pleaded for restraint) - way better than lidl's with 4 times more raspberries and no flaked almonds

wanted to call these nutellini or nutelloni but they're taken. tortellella is a bit of a mouthful, so we'll run with that.

Hey food fucks, I need help.

I have frozen a pack of fresh mince. Can I defrost that mince, cook up a big chili, then freeze that chili into portions for microwaving?
