/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The theme of Round Four is...

Day Out!

You must be able to carry and serve your dish outside the house. Picnic, work lunch, snack on the go, anything goes as long as it can be mobile.

While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

Two persons will be eliminated after this round.

VOTING GUIDELINES

Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in Appeal.

these broad rounds are killing me! can we get something specific next round please, like pizza?

Scores and running scores from round 4

Scratch that, I am an idiot, forgot to check who had the Immunity pin from round 3. Cooking with Birdy is still in, which means that Chalice is out >_<

>>5321702
Updated score card.

>>5321650
Oh jeez this is gonna be an interesting one!

>>5321656
I like having a lot of options personally

Hmmmm, so street food is good?

>eheheheheh I got this shit

THE BURRITO. IT WILL COME.

Oh man, thanks for all the votes!! Super pumped!

This will be an interesting round....

>>5321765
Congrats!

Please get in touch with me at bubbleburst.challenge [at] gmail.com

>>5321723
Holy fuck did I really come in 4th place that round?

I'm god damn amazed!

the fix was in from the start

>>5321809
? Might be a language issue, but I don't get what you mean...

>>5321819
I was just saying the contest was rigged

>>5321826
What would the point be of rigging a contest which has no prize lol

>>5321826
If you'd like to look at the full spreadsheet with votes I can show it to you. Otherwise I fail to see why you would say that.

>>5321846
>>5321847
I was joking kinda, you don't need to show me your spreadsheets or whatever because I believe you more than my next door neighbor

>>5321880
Please see >>5321702

And once again apologies for being an idiot and not double checking.

This is a though one for me. I'm can't into picnic. I can do a mediocre bbq at best. I'll see what I can do, but I believe this will be my demise :D

>>5321883
Dude street food or something!

I'm making motherfucking TAMALES!

>>5321883
If you don't do picnic, what would you bring to work and/or school?
ie :
Soup ion a thermos to take to work.
Couscous or quinoa salad in a mason jar

I'm stealing this rounds theme for my idea.
Thanks in advance Bubble.

>>5321764
THE BURRITO WILL BE MASSIVE!
It shall be able to feed a small village yet be consumed by a single man!
I desperately want some Mexican food now.

FINALLY, I have my webs working again (after waiting 5 hours for the guy to show up). Looking forward to this. Last year I tried really hard to make things I though everyone would like, but this year I'm kinda just doing it for fun and to make things I've wanted to try or like. :) (which isn't to say that I don't want everyone else to like it too, just that I don't feel that pressure, ya know?) I'm a long-time picnic and outdoor family reunion person, and have made tons of things that are good for eating outdoors. But I think I'm going to go classic and make things that I've always loved to eat at picnics and family reunions (my family always has their reunions outdoors, on their ranches and property, so there's usually bbq, and then a metric shit ton of side dishes, salads, and desserts) Fun stuff! I'll tell you right now, though, I WILL be making more than one dish. I'll probably make like, 5 or 6. And invite all of the ooooh, three people I know out here to come and help me eat it, lol.

>>5322267
I'm gonna do a ton of different stuff too, but mexican inspired picnic foods...

I think I might even make conchas

>>5321878
Not rigged, just some unsung rules that go into voting. A good camera would get you better votes, and making a detailed vertical would get you better votes. I judged you unbiased and fairly but having a good reputation as a tripfag/namefag will influence your score. I have no problem with you but some of /ck/ does, as opposed to say Borneo or someone, who was probably judged higher strictly because of reputation. Thats just how it is. I never wanted to win, just to play. You oughta keep playing too. Faggot.

>>5322294
Awesome! I can't wait to see it all! I'm a mexican food junkie, so I'm stoked to see what you make!

>>5322241
I could help you out.. I'm the whitest white chick ever but I grew in southern california with mexican friends and abuelitas to teach me the magic of mexican food, om nom nom

Also nothing better than eating a tamale a 60 year old mexican lady sold you out of the back of her van...

>>5322315
I'm pretty freaking excited, I'm even writing stuff down because I keep getting all these crazy ideas... This is definitely gonna break my bank but it's gonna be soooo worth it! Hopefully I'll be able to bid on another job soon.

So excited to see what you make as always :D

>>5322316
>Also nothing better than eating a tamale a 60 year old mexican lady sold you out of the back of her van...

This is so true. The best tamales I've ever had in my life were from the maintenance guy at the mall I worked in years ago. He'd come by every Tuesday and ask how many we wanted, and then bring them in an ice chest on Fridays. I'd always get 2 dozen spicy, 1 pork and 1 beef. His whole family got together and made them. Wherever you are, Mr. Cortez, I miss you and your god tier tamales.

>>5322341
I remember we used to be more excited for the tamale van on Fridays than the ice cream truck... And of course I learned most of my spanish from being scolded by my friend's abuelitas when I would sneak in the kitchen and "sample" the food before it was finished.

So much nostalgia.. Now I really want a tamale. Mmmmm.

>>5322316
I'll take any tips or tricks you may have to offer.

>>5322316

I grew up near socal also! Can't beat authentic Mexican food...

>>5321656
Chicago-style pizza, of course, not that crap they serve in NYC.

>>5322267
So, green jell-o salad with carrot bits in it?

someone go out and catch a fish
youll stun the judges with originality

Does the picture have to be taken outside? Because by the time I'll eat it'll be dark outside...

>>5322267

>>5321741
>>5321886
I don't think street food is OK. Having a stove or something similar defeat the purpose of the theme. BubbleBurst could enlighten us on this point.

>>5323516
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll make sure there's something as a "main", but there's going to be several other dishes as well. If people want to judge me on just the main, or on the whole thing, it's up to them.

>>5323516
Yeah, I'm a bit confused about this point. At first I thought the challenge goals would basically be that you can cook it at home, and take it out no problem, but strictly speaking BB says that "anything goes as long as it can be mobile", so things like street food or barbecued food fit the bill.

I also feel as though those who aim for food that can be taken to work will have more trouble with presentation than, say, foods for a picnic.

>>5323516
>I WILL be making more than one dish.
>While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

That "rule" is not respected anyway. Lets just cook some picnicy food and have some fun. The winner of this round will likely be one who makes many different small dishes and arranges them nicely on a red and white checkered tablecloth.

>pic related

>>5323646
The original idea was picnic/lunch food but street food works too as far as I'm concerned, -if- it can be eaten on the go ;-)

>>5324188
I'm just happy this round gives me an excuse to drink tequila and make tamales... MEXICAN PICNIC FOR EVERYONE!

>>5323266
>they serve in NYC
>implying there is pizza in NYC

Guess I'm the only one doing one dish.

Quality > Quantity

>>5324192
I'll bring the burrito.

>>5324084
This picture is exactly what I had in mind. Even the wine.

>>5321650
Fuck me, I was just thinking about starting a topic on picnic food, ARE YOU A PSYCHIC

>>5324309
Good thing both are perfectly achievable :)
>>5324315
BRING EXTRA TEQUILA

I'm going to be cooking the pork overnight tonight and making the tamales tomorrow so get hyped for mexican picnic time yall

Oh well. I had fun, and good comp guys, I'll start voting now, and join in for a few rounds.

>>5324909
Lots of tequila and Sol in store. I've made chica bonita drunk hot and ready with a kiss. Quick question, if I want a barbacoa style meat but don't want to deal with buying and cooking a cow head what would you suggest? I'm leaning towards a fatty chuck roast slow cooked. Also looking forward to your submission, Mexican and Tex Mex is my favorite.

>>5324958
Can you get beef cheeks?

>>5325065
And if not chuck will be totally fine, I've had barbacoa lamb, pork, beef... It's more the method of cooking and seasoning than anything. But beef cheeks are the best om nom nom

I'm having fun brainstorming about this. Yes, I'm making several things, but some of it's serious food, and some of it is just for "picnic fun". Also, I can say right now that I won't be posting until Saturday, because I don't have enough time during the week this week to cook before then, and also, I've invited two other people to come along for the picnic, so Saturday it is.
I've gotten super nostalgic thinking about all the great dishes I've had a company picnics, family reunions, and private picnics throughout the years. Sniff.... I wish I could make everything I used to love, but I don't have enough money or time for that, or know enough people, LOL.

Also, on a completely separate note.....I was thinking of doing a weekly Food Gore thread, where I take old scary mid century recipes and re-do them for the modern palate, just for shits and giggles. (I have a huge collection of old food gore cookbooks that are just sitting on my shelf benefiting no one but me). What do you think?

Prosciutto Quiche with Prawns and Pear and Rocket Salad
I knocked this one up within an hour. I was in a hurry, so apologies if the quality is a bit low.

>>5325739
Thinly slice some zucchini and roast in the oven for a few minutes.

>>5325743
Slice some red onion and halve some small cherry tomatoes.

>>5325746
Grease a pie tin, line it with foil then layer the inside with sliced prosciutto.

>>5325747
Whisk some eggs with pepper and chopped chives.

>>5325750
Pour the egg mixture into the pie tin and add the sliced vegetables on top.

>>5325753
Bake in the oven till the egg is set. I added some cheese to the top when the egg was half set.

>>5325758
For the salad dressing, pour some melted blue cheese, vinegar, tobasco, pepper, vegetable oil and water into a squeezy bottle.

Shake well.

>>5325760
Pictured here are all the items you will need before you leave the house. You wont need to bring with a cutting board or a knife, just a good mandoline/slicer for the pear.
> Quiche - already portioned.
> Butter lettuce leaves
> Dipping sauce for prawns (aww yeah remoulade again!)
> Sliced celery and the left-over cherry tomatoes
> Cooked prawns
> Wasabi peas
> Rocket leaves
> Pear
> Blue cheese dressing
> Mixing bowl
> Plates and shot glasses
And of course, some food handling gloves.

>>5325766
I should point out at this stage that the weather took a turn for the worse, so we decided to eat at home. It was a shame because Birdy loves to spend time at the park and chill out with friends and family there. We head out to the river regularly and I was really looking forward to taking a nice packed lunch with us this time.
Alas... 't was not to be.

>>5325770
So pretending that this is now at the park, I can begin plating.
I started with the butter lettuce, prawns, dipping sauce in shot glasses, cherry tomatoes and celery slices.

>>5325774
Use the mandoline/slicer to julienne the pear into the mixing bowl. Add the rocket leaves, wasabi peas and some blue cheese dressing. Mix well and add the salad to the plate.

>>5325779
Lastly, add a generous portion of quiche to the plate - Easy!

Apologies for not entering last round. I completely forgot I had immunity and meant no disrespect to any of the other contestants, but I had to use the time to sort out some pesky life issues.

It was fun watching from the sidelines though!

>>5325770
You can take BIRDS outside without them flying away forever?!

By the way, your spread looks delicious. Hell, just give me the salads, prawns and remoulade and I'd b a happy picnicker.

>>5325770
Birdy is alive? mind=blown

>>5325805
Alive and biting.

>>5325796
Thanks!

Yea it can be dangerous to take birds outside, but there are a few ways to make it safer for them - wing clipping, flight harnesses, recall training, etc.
Birdy is a lucky one, he gets to go out every day and enjoy the sunshine with me. I spoil him so much, but to be honest it's just good for me too, getting off my ass and out of the house.

Ah shit I forgot to use my identifier... I trust that Birdy will help clarify things.

>>5325065
>>5325090
I'm sure I can find beef cheeks if I look hard enough.Would they be much better than regular chuck? Because a chuck roast is walking distance away, beef cheeks would require driving to an unfamiliar barrio.

>>5324932
your dishes were great!

>>5325791
Looks gorgeous as usual and birdy is probably my favorite thing about these threads lol
If I was to do that salad with a vinaigrette do you think it would still be yum?
>>5325957
Honestly beef tastes like beef and I think you'll be fine with a nice fatty chuck om nom nom
>>5325959
Agreed with this anon!

I just took my pork out and shredded... I swear there's nothing like waking up to the smell of slow cooked meat in the morning. The weather is pretty shitty here today but I'm gonna make an effort to go outside, lol

>>5326049
Yeah it would work without the blue cheese (it was basically a vinaigrette with added blue cheese) but you'd need to add salt in some shape or form. Altogether it needs salty + sweet + sour + crunchy. I've added a little spicy.

The traditional version of the salad still uses rocket and pear (which needs to be sweet and juicy). There's normally shaved parmesan for the salty element + roasted walnuts for a little crunch. I personally prefer the spicy yet still crunchy wasabi peas instead.

And of course, the vinaigrette is the sour element.

I made mine yesterday, but didn't have time to post it before now. A staple southern Dutch salad, Kouw Sjottel/Koude Schotel (Limburgisch/Dutch), which literally translates to cold dish. A potato/pork salad with pickles and pickled onions, and egg. Serve with bread, or as a salad accompanying a barbecue

Looks goed man. Never actually bothered to look it up how to make it. Could appear to be a bit dull though, any thoughts about spicing it up?

>>5326304

You could spice it up in different ways, for summer time I recommend replacing the pickles with pickled bell pepper or chili pepper. Or just add chili instead of paprika. You could also add ham wrapped asparagus, which I would have I had some more money. Yet the taste is supposed to be a bit sweet/sour. It's very rustiq and hearty, though refreshing in the summer or late spring. It has many varieties, but I love this one the most

Tamales take like 2 days to make but man are they gonna be tasty...

I should be posting in like 4 or 5 hours

>>5325739
that looks amazing

I couldn't for the life of me think of anything to make so I went the lazy route.

A toasted buttered bun with slices of emmental, lightly fried chorizo, fresh tomato and babby spinach and prosciutto wrapped piel de sapo melon.

>>5325739
Very similar to what I'm making, already bought ingredients so I'm going to go a head and make anyway. Looks amazing, have a nice day out?

>>5326823
enjoyed from the safety and comfort of my room with some chinese cartoons and blackcurrant drank

>>5326561
"Pickled" red onion for potato salad... (also good on like everything else)

>>5326827
50/20 would devour in 10 seconds
Melon wrapped in prosciutto is one of my favorite snacks

>>5326870
>>5326870
Pickled onion potato salad is now in the fridge ready to be packed in a cooler. Om nom.

Still have elotes and agua fresca to prepare, but those are easy.

The quality looks good! I love your colour scheme between the food and birdy. You don't need to worry bout not joining in last round, either. I'm sure nobody took disrespect. I took one point off for challenge goals as I personally feel like it's a bit too much to be taking out, even for a picnic. The shotglass for the sauce kind of put it over the edge since it seemed unnecessary. The flavours seem really good, though, and really good for a Summer picnic!

This looks good! I'd certainly like to try it. It would have been nice to see you make the pickles, though, and the ham detracts from the presentation a bit. Maybe you could have cut them into neater squares, and possibly thinner. I like the way you did the presentation over all, though. Why did you cut the pork into little cubes, by the way? Just to manage it easier? And then did you shred the pork a bit afterwards? I think I'd like to try making this myself!

>>5326870
This looks so good. I'm looking forward to see the vertical.

>>5327119

I cut the pork in such little cubes to make them easier to cook. And I didn't shred them, once you cook them for a few hours they fall apart at the slightest touch.

I also forgot to add that you have to drain the potatoes and apple after cooking, try to have as little stock possible in the bowl before mixing

>>5327119
I'm excited to eat it... Lol
Overall it's going to be pork tamales, the potato salad I've posted, elotes (grilled seasoned corn on the cob), and a canteloupe agua fresca. Mexican picnic!

Unfortunately I leave for the gym in about 15 mins for about an hour and a half so I won't be posting for several hours still :(

But it's gonna be soooooo yummy.
>>5327147
I wanted to say I really love that you made a dish from your home country, I love seeing regional foods and I'll definitely be trying it with some barbeque this summer.

>>5327119
>I took one point off for challenge goals as I personally feel like it's a bit too much to be taking out, even for a picnic.

You're absolutely right, if you were to make only one or two of them at a time, the work load seems a bit much. However as you add more portions, each additional portion you plate is done quicker.
When I thought up this meal, I had a rather large picnic in mind, with upwards of 15 or 20 people to serve. This dish was designed to be done in a line style manner - to line up a row of empty plates and churn out lots of them quickly and freshly.
For anyone that hasn't a clue what line cooking is, consider the pear salad: Get a massive bowl, throw a load of the three ingredients in (the rocket leaves, wasabi peas and pear, the mandoline slices the pear in seconds), add enough dressing to the mix and toss the whole lot wildly. Then head over to a row of plates and place a fistful of the completed salad to the side of each one, spending only 2 seconds at each plate.
Placing a wedge of pre-cut quiche on each plate would also take about 2 seconds each. The prawns would take a little longer, depending on how well you want to present it.

But if it's a really small picnic for a couple of people, I still agree with what you said.

>>5326925
This is looking great! Looking forward to the completed dish.

>>5324932
Thank you so much for your participation!

>>5327323
Thank you :D Almost complete... Lucky me it's raining in my part of Colorado so we're gonna be eating indoors. :(

I'm so excited for you guys to see all the yummies I made

line cook here, can i get in on this?

how quick would i need to chef something up?

>>5327485
You can always post but the open rounds are over, we're into eliminations :( So you can't technically "play to win" but you should totally participate anyway!

>>5327489
Elotes

Gonna post a pic of the spread then a pic of the plate but not a vertical cuz I'm too tired tonight, I'll make a couple tomorrow lol

>>5327616
Ok, so this is everything packed up to go.

I made shredded pork tamales, elotes with cotija cheese, cilantro, chili powder, sour cream, mayo, and a lime wedge squeezed on top, pickled red onion potato salad with jalapeno, and the orange drink is cantaloupe agua fresca which is pureed cantaloupe with water strained to remove the pulp with lime juice...

All of these can be served hot or cold and taken to go, albeit the corn can be a bit messy :)

>>5327616
Hnggggg my nigga

Pero no veo chile

>>5327629
Ooo there it is

>>5327629
The individual plating...

This was probably one of the best meals I've made in my life. My dad

>>5327644
oops.. My dad is an old white dude who barely eats and he ended up eating 3 tamales, 2 ears of corn and 3 scoops of tater salad lol

I'll make a vertical tomorrow :)

>>5327656
Mexican mom?? Are you me

>>5327637
I used toooonnns of chili powder in the corn and pork and masa!

I'm doing a phone interview sorry guys hold on

>>5327725
I'm actually a 3rd gen russian immigrant, white as hell, both parents white, I just grew up in a very hispanic area so the food and culture kinda rubbed off on me lol

>>5327732
Gonna post this pic and one more... This is just a close up after I forgot I was taking pics and took a bite of tamale lol

>>5327644

I am so jealous of you. I've always wanted to make Latin American food, it's one of my favourite cuisines in the world, but I always failed horrendously. The closest I came is making a nice pot of chili con carne, which has been Dutchified as hell.

>tfw growing up in a country without a haut cuisine

I am looking forward to your vertical, so I can try once more :D

AND I just got an awesome new job! BEST DAY EVER
>>5327755
The flavors are all so simple but so delicious you will have no problem making any of it! The tamales take a couple days and can be a hassle if you've never done them but they are sooooo worth it...

I gotta go get some stuff figured out with this new job but I'll make up a vertical tomorrow

>>5327644
Thats fucking awesome, looking forward to verticals.

Thanks for your response regarding the challenge goals. I always think you make good, well-thought out points.

>>5327485
As Cholula said, we're into eliminations now but I also encourage you to join just for fun! This round ends on Sunday.

>>5327616
>>5327644
This looks so damn good! Which is going to be your 'main' entry? I'll be damned if you don't win this round, though.

>>5329119
The tamales are the main entry for me definitely, they take a very long time to slow cook the meat and are a complicated process and I picked the other two side dishes to accent or work with the flavors in the tamales.
And thank you so much, that really means a lot :)

I'm going to work on verticals now for everything, hopefully it'll be easier for me this time lol
>>5328579
Quiche sounds so good. I love mine with bacon and swiss and that's it. Yum.
Also Relph dog is best dog!

>>5329881
Vertical for tamales... Sorry it's bad but I'm not very good with them yet, and I just had my first day at a new job so I'm pretty tired :)

I wanted to give you more for presentation because everything looks so good together! But I tried to just score for the main entry, which unfortunately doesn't look too colourful or exciting, even though it seems delicious. I'm starting to not like this 'originality' rating in particular...

>>5330022
And the agua fresca vert.
>>5330034
Yeah, tamales aren't very pretty by themselves but they're also just about the most delicious thing you can stuff in your face... LOL
I think it's important to have a really pretty side dish when you make them to make up for the tamales cuz they can be downright butt ugly.

I hope you try to make some of this because it's all soooo good, and particularly the flavors work soooo well together. The creamy salty sweet of the corn cuts the vinegar of the potato salad and the vinegary potato salad gives some bite to the masa in the tamales... And of course the agua fresca is just mild and refreshing enough to wash it all down.

I'm steaming more tamales for myself tonight hehe.

Overall Operation mexican picnic was a smashing success. I also got a phone interview for an amazing job after I was done eating it, and got the job today. So maybe it will be lucky for you too :) Now to rest after these exciting two days... Thanks guys!

Grats on the job. And it all looks great, Mex and Tex Mex is my favorite food. I'm also applying and interviewing for a second job, but I want to be in the hottest loudest dirtiest deepest pits of a restaurant kitchen. For experience.

That's great guys, and I'm gonna let you finish, but I just wanted to say that PLUG.DJ/NOT-VIDYA IS THE BEST PLUG.DJ ROOM OUT THERE AND YOU SHOULD ALL COME JOIN US. Ok, thanks. Enjoy the food.

>>5327644
I have a serious question.

Will you marry me?

>>5328623
Did you have time to finish everything? It s looking good, curious to see the final result :-)

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull myself out of the competition.
I don't have the time nor money right now to keep up with you guys.

Thanks for letting me play along. <3

This is so fucking stupid. A cooking competition where the judges can't taste the food...

>>5332163
here we go again

>>5332175
I'm just saying. Its fucking stupid.

>>5332144
Aww, I'll miss you. You can always throw a dish together for a future round if it's something you feel strongly about. Hope to see at least another one of your dishes

>>5332144
Aww, I am sorry to read that. Thank you for your participation! I hope you'll stick around to comment/vote!

If Tewi or Chalice wants the open spot let me know!

Here's my dish. BBQ chicken rolls with fried pickled cucumbers and melon bread.

Gỏi Cuốn with Hoisin Sauce,
Beef and Pineapple Salad,
Cod Accras with a Spicy Sauce and an Unpictured but Delicious Scatterbrain Aïoli,
And finally, Hedgehog of Cherry Tomatoes and Mini Mozzarella Balls Skewers, with Fresh Basil.

16 pictures and 3 verticals incoming.

I really wanted to re-enact Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe by Édouard Manet. Alas, technical difficulties have prohibited me to do so.

>>5333055
>>5333050
oh shit nigga

wow

>>5333055
Here are the Accras. It's a recipe from the Antilles.
Closer pictures will arrive soon.

>>5333063
The Gỏi Cuốn, from Thailand.
This is my "main dish".
It was listed at number 30 on World's 50 most delicious foods complied by CNN Go in 2011 :
http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/eat/worlds-50-most-delicious-foods-067535

>>5333074
The Hedgehog. Surprisingly delicious for such a simple dish.

>>5333080
Thai inspiration, again.

>>5333083

>>5333088

>>5333090
It's see-through: there are shrimps and pork.

>>5333095

>>5333101

>>5333109
Now, a better view of the inside.
Shrimp, pork, rice vermicelli, lettuce, cucumber, soy sprout, purple radish sprout, mint, Thai basil, coriander and the chive you've seen popping out of the roll.

>>5333119

>>5333135
im glad to see someone cooking with hoison. I use it a lot, as I cook Asian food fairly frequently. have you found anything or way to make your own or replicate the same flavour using non pre made sauce?

>>5333136
And vertical for the beef and pineapple salad.

You will unfortunately have to wait until tomorrow to discover my super secret recipe for tomato and mozzarella with basil.

>>5333050
>>5333055
So... you single?

>>5333139
Well, I discovered hoisin when I cooked goi cuon for the first time a few months ago (I tried making every dish from the BBC list one by one.)
I looked the wikipedia page but never really thought about looking for other recipes using it. I'll give it a try.
As for making it myself... It sounds like too much complications for the use I have of it.

>>5333316
>I tried making everything from the list one by one
Well, I know what I'm doing when this challenge is over, lol

These threads are fucking disgusting.

Tripfags, exclamation marks and smileys abound. Fuck off

>>5333320
I did this with last year's competition. It really made me appreciate how skilled all the contestants were and how shit I am, but it was still a blast

>>5333353
Wow, that's a pretty big feat. What were your favorites? (in case I decide to do the same)

>>5333351
Ahbloobloobloo no fun allowed
>>5333353
Wow, I've made a few of the dishes this year but I can't imagine doing all of them... But I love having a purpose or challenge when I start cooking or planning.

Here's my entry. I made hand-rolled gimbap with stewed lamb.

>>5333435
Whoops, I put 'asdf' in the e-mail field by accident...

Here's me pretending to take it outside.

Just checking the thread, everyone's dishes look awesome and delicious. I have one more work assignment I have to do before I can go to the store and finish shopping and start prepping. I'm going to be one tired ass competitor, lel. I have my roommate and a friend coming over in the morning and we're going to have the picnic around noon-ish (Pacific time), so I'll be up late and rising early. Ah well..I'll sleep when I'm dead. Anyway, I love everyone's dishes so far, going to have to make some of these sometime soon.

>>5333440
No vertical this time but I slow cooked the lamb in soy sauce, shaoxing wine, and star anise, then shredded it and reduced the stock, which I put in the fridge to gelatinise. I julienned carrots, spring onions, cucumbers, and sundried tomatoes in olive oil. The rice I cooled and mixed with black rice vinegar, sugar and salt.

The last step was just combining the vegetables, stock jelly, and lamb in different combinations and rolling them up.

>>5333459
Proof.

>Check back on /ck/ after a year
>Another shitty cooking contest

I at least hope the rounds have been better this year.

Never 5get the Ramen round of 2013.

>>5333468
As we say in Israel... never again

I have too much disposable income: The Thread

>>5333468
That jackass who made a cup of ramen and somehow moved on to the elimination rounds.
I will never forget.

>>5333473
You reminded me of the round I pulled out in.

I think it was the semi or quarter final and it was a fucking cupcake round.

Im actually going to get a list of the challenges from the old blog so people can cry.

In reverse order:

Signature dish
Vegetarian
cupcakes (2 years out of fashion by this point)
Rolling for time periods (I actually got this, rolled myan and decided to quit, It was literally impossible to find appetizing myan cuisine.)
Tapas (best round)
Ravioli
burgers
ramen
fish
Breakfast

>>5333474
>I am passionate about food: The thread

Lookijng back over the blog, it seems like this was a pretty good contest. I would have liked to participate if i had seen it. Ive actually been in a full time chef de partie job since around september, so that would have helped.

>>5333547
Holy shit shut the fuck up. No one cares about you.

>>5333504
Dude, pulling out because you rolled Mayan? What are you, a huge pussy?

>>5333562
>discussion is banned on /ck/
welp back to /trv/ i go

>>5333440
Dude this asian theme is fucking awesome, yours and John's look fantastic
>>5333474
For people who have a passion for cooking, they spend money on it that other people may spend on things like video games or junk food. I have hardly any disposable income right now but I spend what I do on food because it's what I'm passionate about.

>>5333547
You should definitely please join us, even if you can't "win", the best part for me is seeing new foods everyone makes and getting TONS of inspiration..

>>5333570
Yes, yes I am.

You try and think of one good myan dish and way to represent it. The categories were:

- Neanderthal
--> 1 - Ancient Greco-Roman
--> 2 - Aztec/Mayan
--> 3 - Medieval
--> 4 - New World/Silk Road
--> 5 - Edwardian
--> 6 - 1960s
--> 7 - 1980s
--> 8 - Modern
--> 9 - The Future

From that list, try and tell me that rolling a 2 would not instantly put you at a disadvantage to everyone else

>>5333591
Yes, you are a huge gaping labia.
"Aztec food...is a subject for which relatively rich written source material exists...The chronicle of Bernal Diaz del Castillo, who accompanied Cortes...and the illustrated work...of Father Sahagun, written in the 1530s, are full of fascinating detail for food historians. The Aztecs, coming south from the deserts of New Mexico, had in the 14th century occupied sites in the valley of Mexico, an area rich in lakes, whose produce (fowl of many kinds, fish, frogs, water insects, algae) the newcomers adopted with enthusiasm. They flourished and established their dominion over a wide area...Sahagun tells us they feasted...on white tortillas, grains of maize, turkey eggs, turkeys, and all kinds of fruit. He gives a list of 25 fruits, including four varieties of sweet potato, sweet manioc, avocados, and come cacti. It is said that they flinched from chocolate at first, but when the Indians set the example they drank and found it good...The description by Bernal Diaz of how Motechuhzoma was served and ate, and of the thousands of jars of foaming chocolate, is famous. It contrasts strongly with the general impression of the Aztecs as an abstemious and frugal people, who subsisted on meagre fare and for whom fast...were a part of the way of life...Maize was the staple food of the Aztecs and the focus of a large part of their religion...The food value of the maize was greatly enhanced by the process called nixtamalization...Beans and chia were important enough to figure as items of tribute paid to the Aztec state, as were amaranth and squash seeds. Chilli was available...The short list of domesticated creatures has headed by the turkey and included the dog as well as...bees. The culinary sophistication of the Aztecs is apparent from the extraordinarily long list of spices and flavourings which they would use with chocolate."

I was wondering... thank you so much for the vote! Very encouraging :)
>>5333643
I dunno, I've been noticing a lot of people start voting on Saturday or Sunday, I think because at that point all the dishes get posted so it's easier for people to vote all at once rather than voting for one at a time...

>>5333640
>>5333624
I dont think you understand the brief. Im not just using ingredients that were popular, I had to capture the style and dishes of the Myan people. I could make many dishes with those individual ingredients. Right off the top of my head, Pork confit with coffee and cardamon, Salted chocolate glaze and wild corn.

But I had to capture the culture, which was boring and simple.

>>5333661
>maya/aztec culture
>boring and simple

pick one

>>5333661
You should have found a large rock with an indentation in it, and covered it in pig blood with a machete and then set your "simple and boring" dishes in front of it. Would have been hilarious and probably gained you extra points.

>>5333669
Romanticism by the west has caused many a tall tale. They were by all rights a normal civilisation that just sacrificed a few people now and again.

I was about to say "Yes, I obviously know. Why do you even say that?"
My bad. I mixed up my countries when writing... I'll correct my
vertical, it's the least I can do.
Thanks for correcting me.


>>5333314
I'm single, yes. Mommy loved my accras...
Since I'm better skilled in a bedroom than in a kitchen, that's pretty
inconvenient.

>>5333353
Sounds like you misunderstood. I meant BBC's list of the best 50
dishes in the world :
http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/eat/worlds-50-most-delicious-foods-067535
When I was asked "did you put enough coconut milk in [whatever dish
from the country my friend grew up in]?", and I had no idea if I did
or not, I decided to do the list in restaurants, this time without
skipping the impossible to do at home ones. (Roasted pigs, I'm totally
stuffing my face with your flesh this time.)

>>5333547
We are 8 participants from previous years (including Bubble, you and me.)
I'd be bitter as fuck to roll Maya too. It's not even a time period
(unless I can make a flu ridden paella or something.)
But still, where is your dish?

By the way, shouldn't we establish a rule about previous winners? Not
to exclusively ban them (I'm Luke, Mark or Matthew by the way), more
for prices. I mean, it's cool for PyeWacket to have a collection of
cups, but...

>>5334776
You're... better in the bedroom than you are cooking?
I think my vagina just imploded.

This is the internet, you can be anything you want here.

Finally, here we go. I still have to do verticals, but I'm going to post these pics first, then make my verticals and post them, since I feel like I'm running out of time. It was a great day for a picnic, though. Close ups to follow, and verticals after I finish here in a bit.

Beer Steamed Shrimp in Ruby Red Vinaigrette on Brioche Buns with aoli and upland cress
Hearty Gazpacho with avocado
Green Goddess Deviled Eggs
Fruit Kebabs
Blueberry Lemonade

Here was everything packed up in the car. (the deviled eggs were sat on the seat next to me, not back there.)

Looks and sounds great. How does grass look like that? It looks fake, this is how grass looks where I live.

Beer Steamed Shrimp in Ruby Red Vinaigrette, withe Brioche Buns and upland cress (everyone could make their own sandwich, much easier to transport everything seperately) the aioli isn't in in the pic, it was still in the cooler.

Here's a pic of a made sandwich

>>5336129
>>5336130
Thanks guys!

Green Goddess Deviled Eggs

Fruit kebabs (pretty straight forward there.)

Blueberry Lemonade

>>5336150
Want it. My grandma used to serve deviled eggs on a glass plate just like that on Christmas and holidays. Would like to know what the green is, it looks like capers to me.

After the glasses were filled.

>>5336163
Yup, that's capers. Yeah, I inherited that deviled egg plate from my grandmother. I can't eat deviled eggs on anything else, lol.

And one more full pic.

Now I'm going to go bust out those verticals! I'll have them up here in a little bit. It'll probably take me at least an hour, I'm guessing.

>>5336170
I feel you, I don't always eat deviled eggs. But when I do, its from a copper brown glass flower tray. Never seen them with capers, my maw sprinkled them with paprika.

>>5336161
>going to a public park to have a picnic

Must suck to live in the suburbs.

>>5336181
I usually use paprika myself, but the capersI went nicely with the green goddess flavors, so I went with that. I was going to put a little tarragon leaf on each (since there's tarragon in the green goddess), but I was afraid they'd smear around too much in transit.

>>5336187
>>5336181
I love eggs in every form.. I have lots of capers to use up so I'll have to try them in deviled eggs.

Looks good as always Pye

>>5336333
Thanks! Yours looked really great, too. I love elotes so much, looking at that picture made me crave some like mad. And the tamales looked tasty as well, can't beat a good tamale!

My computer is giving me fits, so I'm going to have to restart it and see if that helps. I have about half my verticals done, so I'll post those before I restart the computer.
Here's one, Blueberry Lemonade

Green Goddess Deviled Eggs vertical

Green Goddess vert.

I didn't make a vertical for the fruit kebabs, because it's pretty much self-explanatory. So these are just pics of the process.

Okay, so I'm going to restart my laptop and see if that fixes the problems I'm having, so it will be awhile before I post the other verticals. I actually have a vertical for the brioche buns that I made before, because I used the same recipe for the burger challenge last year, so I'll just post that real quick.

>>5336353
>harboil
is that hardboil or parboil we'll never know

trying for another victorious year I see

This is my old brioche bun vertical. I noticed that I didn't list the amounts in this one (what a dick, amirite?) Anyway, I'll list them here.
3 tablespoons warm milk
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups bread flour
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

>>5336371
Lol, harDboil. Typos are what happens when I rush too fast. Hardboil, hardboil, hardboil....word's lost all meaning.

>>5336378
Don't worry, in my tamale vertical I said like "season your beef" even though I made pork tamales..

Shrimp vert.

Gazpacho vert.

I'm pretty stoked for the brioche recipe, I've tried several and didn't like them so I'll give these a shot. Love a good simple cheeseburger on a brioche bun. Yum.

Off to work... this waking up at 6AM stuff is surprisingly easy...

Pork shank terrine with pear and mustard dressing (raw pickled onion as well but I forgot to plate those bastards), potatoes with tomatoes and chives, and carrots with spelt, apple, chervil, and romaine lettuce. Beer and homemade bread. Lemon mousse for dessert.

>>5337435

>>5337439
Closeups. I made the mistake of not shredding the pork enough (making it impossible to carve because of the big lumps of gelatine) and dressing the two salads too early (I didn't expect the terrine to be such a bitch to carve).

I don't think I have time for verticals.

>>5337448
Dessert: Lemon mousse with lemon jelly and chopped lemonbalm on top.

>>5337448
I'd fucking eat it! Looks good.

>>5337435
Verification

>>5337455
That lemon mousse looks fantastic. If you don't have time for a vertical, I'd appreciate a recipe for it, if you could! The terrine looks delicious, too. Nice!

>>5337511
I was hoping you would post!
Looks lovely as usual :)

Looks good although I am not a fan of star anise, had to knock appeal down a bit.

Very nice looking meal, especially the lemon mousse for dessert. Looks unique.

Thanks! It does seem like a random assortment now that I think of it. I was trying to do a mashup of Japanese-ish food and an American BBQ.

Shouldn't that be 17/20?

I'm not claiming it, I'm just saying it SHOULD, that's all.

Have you ever tasted pot? It wouldn't go well with any of the herbs of green goddess.
It would fit better in Mediterranean cuisine.

a past dealer once made brownies by actually putting the busted-up pot IN the brownie mix. They tasted... well I had bought 4, took a bite of 1, and had to spit it out. Couldn't even handle 1 small bite. Good thing I knew the guy ok and immediately got all my money back and gave him back the 3 untouched. He knew he fucked up and I'm bigger than him, refund was inevitable.

>>5338157
yes, my bad.

>>5339058
No. FML. :-(
