Robyn Cooking/Taste Review-

I have always loved a good cocktail especially an easy one to make
once again all you do is blend and you are on your way.
the flavour of this one can vary, I find that this has a sour bite too it and
can be very citrisy.

These are very easy to make... Just make sure you whip the
cream to stiff peaks. Also make sure to cover when you refriderate
as i made this mistake and was a small tougher layer on top.

Taste Testers Review-
This tasted like cream cake. Maybe try with the crunchie
mini bites instead, as the honey comb melted.

Dash of Tabasco

TASTINESS YOU CAN ADD

Aioli
Sour cream and sweet chilli

Sophie Cooking/Taste Review-

Holy Wedges! These are just amazing. The flour provides the foundation of the crust and holding agent for the flavourings. The only thing I find is that the garlic burns slightly, so garlic salt or dried garlic granules should work fine.

Taste Tester Review-
I was selfish on this recipe because i ate all of them myself and didn't leave any for anyone! They are too good to share (Sophie).

4 tspn salt
3 tspn cumin
3 tspn curry powder

METHOD
Fry nuts and sugar in oil with spices until golden brown

TASTINESS YOU CAN ADD

Any nuts of your choice

spices such as paprika

Sophie Cooking/Taste Review-

These are sugary and savoury at the same time. The sugar makes them crunchy and also creates a setting for the spices.

Taste Tester Review-
I didn't get a chance to feed them to anyone, but they are a perfect snack for when you're drinking with the girls.

Shirley temple (mocktail)

INGREDIENTS

Ice
Juice of 1 lge orange
Ginger ale
30ml Rasberry cordial


 

METHOD
Half fill two glasses with ice
Divide orange juice between glasses
Pour in cordial
Fill the rest up with ginger ale
Garnish with a lime wedge and maraschino cherry (optional)

TASTINESS YOU CAN ADD

whipped cream

lemonade

Sophie Cooking/Taste Review-

Originally I wanted to make one that Robyn and I made in high school, but i couldn't remember how to make it so i googled it. Turns out the traditional Shirley Temple is a bit different to our high school one as Robyn kindly pointed out! So this is the traditional recipe but the one we made at high school had lemonade, grenadine and cream on the top. They are both nice, perhaps the high school one being a kitsch version.

Taste Tester Review-
Still flying solo this week. In saying that, it would be a good mocktail to serve in a jug with the icecubes i made from the leftover tangy fruit iceblocks as a kind of substitute punch.

Sophies Red Wine Mushroom Risotto

Ingredients
250g arborio rice
1 lge onion
2 cloves garlic
1 chicken stock cube
350g fresh mushrooms of your choice (i used portabello and cap mushrooms)
Red wine
Parmesan
Salt and pepper
Butter
Olive oil
Thyme, oregano
Water

Method
Dice onion, mushrooms -> mince garlic
Add above to a large pan with a dab of butter, a drizzle of olive oil and herbs
Saute (cook until golden brown) above, then pour in the rice
Lightly fry the rice and mushroom mixture together until the rice starts to whiten and seal
Splash in some red wine and reduce to halfway
Crumble in the stock cube and start to splash in the water (a 1/2 cup at a time)
When the water starts to dry out, splash another 1/2 cup in (this is called the absorption method)
Continue to add water until the rice is cooked
Take off the heat and sprinkle in Parmesan
Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!


Sophie's review- As i didn't have arborio i used long grain rice, its not as creamy but still nice. I was a bit sceptical about the red wine but it added a deep richness to the dish which would go nice with a red meat. Also good for vegetarians.

Casey's review- Very nice, Sophie served it on a whole portabello mushroom which acted as a base but was also delicious. I would have added a bit more pepper, but i like my things hot.

Sophie's Pumpkin and Bacon Rissoto





INGREDIENTS

200g arborio rice
2 rashers bacon

2 cloves garlic
100g pumpkin (i used jap)
1 brown onion
chicken stock
thyme
water
salt and pepper
Parmesan
METHOD
Dice the bacon, onion and pumpkin -> mince garlic
In a frying pan combine the above ingredients with thyme and saute until golden brown
Add the rice and stir until the outside of the rice is sealed (it will go opaque)
Crumble in the stock cube and add water in 1/2 cup bursts, waiting until each cup is absorbed until you add the next burst
When rice is cooked add parmesan and salt and pepper and enjoy!

TASTINESS YOU CAN ADD

If you have kids you can always sneak
in some small diced vegetables
 such as zucchini or carrot

Sophie's Cooking Review-
I used arborio rice from Aldi which I have to admit is not the nicest arborio I've ever used. But other than that it was really nice. I learnt how to cook this dish in grade eight and have been cooking it ever since.

Dailins Review-

I thought it needed a bit more salt and pepper but other than that, it was very tasty.

Pumpkin, Bacon and Cheese Arancini

INGREDIENTS

100g pumpkin and bacon risotto

Cheese of your choice (i used tasty)

2 eggs

1/2 cup cream or milk

Bread crumbs

salt and pepper

fresh oregano
Plain flour

METHOD
Take a dessertspoon of cold risotto and mould it into a bowl shape in your hands (wet hands work better with this)
Press the cube of cheese into the middle and mould the rice around the cheese to form a ball
Whisk together the egg and cream (or milk)
Add chopped oregano and salt and pepper to the breadcrumbs
Place the egg mix, breadcrumbs and flour in three separate bowls (this is called a crumbing station)
Dip the rice ball into the flour then the egg, then the breadcrumbs
Deep fry in hot oil until golden and enjoy!

TASTINESS YOU CAN ADD

Bocconcini
Salami
Thyme
Sage

Sophie's Cooking/Taste Review-

This is a perfect way to use up any leftover risotto. Last time I made it, I used salami and bocconcini as the filling. You can really use anything you like as long as it complements the risotto flavours.

Lucys Review-
I really love the gooey filling of the cheese and the crunch of the breadcrumb crust

MAMMA MIA its Italiano week

This week we have travelled to Italy! We had beautiful creamy tiramisu and a rich chocolatey treat from Florence. We also had a delicious pasta dish and a crispy calamari entree.

Italy is all about the passion and food and thats why we decided to do this theme. You can always go out and buy takeaway pizza or pasta but its so much nicer to use fresh ingredients and create your own dish :)

The best thing about Italian food is that it can be so easy! So for all everyone out there we have a few easy recipes and a few medium (just to spice it up a bit ).

I hope you enjoyed our italiano week and be sure to give us your reveiws! we have no doubt that you will fall in love with italy too.

Next week we are doing Snack Attack! Rob is making crispy, cheesy, Pizza Scrolls and I have a tangy fruity iceblock. They are going to be awesome!

Here from Just4Food, we'll blog too you next week

Have a great weekend and try out some of our recipes! :)

Osso Bucco

INGREDIENTS:

4 veal shanks or knuckles (750g)
(my butcher offered Osso Bucco pieces)

30gbutter                                                                           

2 carrots

2 large onions                                                                      

3 sticks celery

2 cloves garlic                                                                            

Flour

Olive oil

800g canned tomatoes

½ cup dry red wine

400ml Beef stock

Thyme

Basil

sage

Salt and pepper

METHOD

Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees

Dice onion, carrot and celery and combine in a large casserole dish with minced garlic, butter and olive oil

Add the thyme, basil, sage, salt and pepper and fry until onions are golden brown

If you are a multi-tasker, then while this is happening....

Gently press the osso bucco onto the seasoned flour on both side and dust off remaining flour

Lightly fry both sides of the osso bucco to seal the meat then place on the fryed veg

With the meat pan, get rid of the excess oil, then pour in tomatoes, red wine, beef stock and a bit of flour to thicken.

Bring to the boil, then pour over the meat and veg

Place in the oven with the lid on and cook for 3 hours (the longer you cook it the more tender it will be J )

Sophie Review:The meat was very tender and the sauce was rich and tomatoey. Just beautiful I used gluten free plain flour to press the meat with and halfway through the cooking process sprinkled a bit of flour in to thicken the sauce.

Rachel's Review: Very good job, cooked perfectly and the meat was very tender. well done

Tiramisu

Ingredients
2T Instant Coffee
1 1/4 Cups Boiling Water
1cup of Sweet Marsala (we used a Sweet Fortified Wine)
250g packet Sponge-Finger Biscuits
1/2 cup Thickend Cream
1/3 cup Icing Sugar
500g Mascarpone Cheese
40g Dark Chocolate
125g Berries

Method
Dissolve Coffee in the Boiling water in a medium bowl. Stir in 2/3 cup of Marsala, cool.
Dip biscuits in the mixture and slightly soak. place in bottom of the bowl. leaving halve for the top layar.
Beat Cream and Icing Sugar in a bowl. When stiff peaks fold in Mascarpone and remaining Marsalla.
Spread half the Cream mixture over the biscuits in the bowl.
Put on another layar of biscuits and add the rest of the cream.
Sprinkle chocolate on top.

Decorate with Berries.

Robyn's Review-
Ok so I'm not a Tiramisu person... I haven't ever had Tiramisu before and i ate it on the first night.
My tip to you is wait until the second night to eat it so prepare it the day before Guests come. It was much better the Next night and i enjoyed it very much as the Flavour had set in. If you don't like the Alcohol Flavour to over power i suggest using a little bit less in the coffee mixture.
This is a dish i would make for friends coming over for a dinner party and i wanted a EASY dessert to prepare. It is a bit exspensive tho, but deffinatly worth it in the end :)

Fettucine Carbonara

Ingredients:
500ml cream

1 pkt fettucine
2 cloves garlic
1 lge onion
4 rashers bacon
parmesan
salt and pepper

Method:
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil
Meanwhile dice bacon and onion and place in a hot frying pan with minced garlic and olive oil
Cook until onions are golden brown
(by this point your water should be boiling. pour in the fettucine and stir for about a minute to avoid sticking)
Pour the cream into the onion and bacon mix and reduce until it starts to thicken slightly
Season and sprinkle with as much parmesan as you like

stir together the pasta and sauce and..

enjoy!

Tradionally, fettucine carbonara has an egg yolk cracked into the end of the cooking process. This brought together the sauce and added more protein. But because ive thickened the cream it doesnt need the egg.

Sophies reveiw: This is my partners (Dailins) favourite pasta dish and it is so easy to make. The bacon, onion and garlic is such a classic mix and the cream just tops it off. As i mentioned above, you can add an egg yolk but i prefer not too. You can also sprinkle with fresh parsley as it cuts out the the richness but still complements the flavours

Dailins reveiw: The pasta was well cooked and the sauce was beautiful. All together beautiful flavours.

Zuccotto

Zuccotto derived from woman's weekly and adjusted by Sophie

Ingredients:

20cm round sponge layer

2 tablespoons brandy

2 tablespoons orange liqueur

60g slivered almonds

60g whole blanched roasted hazelnuts

90g dark chocolate (60g melted) (30g chopped)

300ml un-thickened cream ¼ cup icing sugar

Method:

Cut cake in slices 1cm thick, cut into triangles and arrange in dish so the point is at the bottom

Roast nuts in the oven at 180 until slightly coloured-> cool

Combine brandy and liqueur, brush one side cake dome with mixture

Chop almonds and hazelnuts roughly, whip cream and icing sugar to stiff peaks

Fold nuts into cream mixture , divide mixture in half fold melted choc through one half and chopped choc through other half

Spread white cream mixture over cake and pour choc mixture in centre

Moisten leftover cake with liqueur mixture, create a lid for cake

Refrigerate overnight

Turn out and dust with cocoa

Total cook time: 4 hours
Sophies reveiw: this is such a delicious recipe. The sponginess of the cake contrasted with the creamy filling works so well. The nuts added a really nice flavour. This would be perfect for a dessert cake. The original recipe called for whole almonds but i decided to use slivered almonds as they are a smaller cut.

Carls reveiw: It was a very nice dessert. Its the first time i have had it and I will be sure to try it again.
