Last night, I made dinner at home for me and Abdul. There was no real occasion but I know he enjoys my home-cooked meals and I hadn't cooked for him in awhile. I procrastinated like crazy and ended up with no real time to cook. I was supposed to have soup but ran out of time, so instead I came up with:
Focaccia dipped in olive oil and balsamic and served with Pepperberry Almond Dukkah to start
Mixed Greens topped with shitake sauteed in garlic, shallots and balsamic with an olive oil, lemon, parmesan and hint of chilli dressing
Rib Eye Steak with a side of buttered asparagus
Dirty mashed potatoes with sour cream, garlic, parmesan and basil
My little kitchen elf
Needless to say, We went to bed stuffed and happy :)
The name Gourmet Kitschen is is a play on words. Kitsch has been said to be the opposite of art- a cheap, “slapping together” of things and passing itself off as art. I must say my cooking escapades are quite the same- a slapping together of random things I may have tasted before, wanted to taste or imagined. I am a very messy, irrational cook but I love it and it shows in the food I make.
Kitchen MIshaps and Victories, Restaurant Rants and Raves and a whole lotta wanderlust!
