He lost two of his Michelin stars on that restaurant, which is rumored to be closing soon.

But~

He is still a Great Chef. And trust me, there are varying degrees. ;)

Wellington was the fist thing I ever made from a celerity chef's cookbook. It was Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet). I didn't have pâté so I substituted liverwurst. Still, it tasted pretty damn good. ;)

Pat

Pat, that sounds wonderful and interesting at the same time to substitute.;)

May I ask if you added anything to the wurst to moisten?

Holly

This was in 1972 or '73. I don't remember the details, but I doubt it. It was spreadable when warm, though.

Kerr had a series of cookbooks that were advertised at the end of his TV show. I worked at a station that carried his show and we had boxes upon boxes of his books. When the demand for them dropped off, they were offered, free, to any employees that wanted them. I wished I still had them just for the nostalgia value.

Try it with chorizo, next time... Sometimes I will cut out the center of an eye of round then stuff it with chorizo before roasting......

That sounds very good! The chorizo I've used has always been very oily. Wouldn't that soak though the crust?

Pat

You can par cook the chorizo, drain most of the fat and then use it.

TS, Gypsy- These taco spices are for ground beef tacos, right? For Carne Asada, I put skirt steak in a bag/dish and pour a can of pickeled carrots and jalapenos over it, add some Mexican oregano, give it a mix and let it sit a few hours or overnight. If I want to add a little color, I add achiote...

Thanks. That's what I normally do, but I've never baked it at high heat after.

Pat

I'll use fresh vegetables since, the ones used for seasoning will lose its crispness.

As far as noodles; they can add their own since folks complain about what type they like.....:eek:

They don't serve that at the Waffle House

Valentine dinner
 

Picked up some 14oz filets from Harris teeter. Whipped up some herb butter. Marsala mushroom risotto and sautéed spinach for sides. My best work yet!

I hate these photos, especially on an empty stomach! ;) That looks great! Compound butter even! Marsala mushroom risotto, I may have to try that myself!

Whoa! That looks beautiful, Tazay...

What did you use in the herb butter?
