Hey guys
I’m stuck in a rut with my cooking at the moment and need some inspiration.
Tell me your favourite recipes so I can get my creative juices flowing again 😉

This time of the year I would explore the wonderful topic of Soups.
From sweet to Savoury, there are many recipes.
Asparagus and Pea Soup
Sweet Punkin soup,
Scalloped Potatoes with Ham
Pea soup. In S.A Pea soup with a meat pie in the middle of the bowel is called a Pie-Floater
Chinese noodle soups
Turkey Chilli soup
Spicy Bean soup
The list is endless,
 
Jamie once a week I like fresh fish.

My favourite is salmon belly with the skin on. I seare the non-skin sides in a hot non-stick pan, no oil, then cook for the remainder of the time skin down until cooked through and skin is crispy.

Depending on my desire at the time I may lightly grind some pepper over the fish while cooking.

Universally can be served alone or with steamed veggies or simple salad.

I confess, I hardly ever do the cooking. My partner does most of the cooking and cleaning. I'm always to busy with work, community commitments and creating art. The only time I cook is for others or functions. I recently upgraded my Thermomix. That inspired me to do some cooking. This time of year, lots of soups, stews and curries. Tonight have an Indian lamb curry in the slow cooker. Themed nights are good for exploring different cultural foods

Oooh I like the sound of Chinese noodle soup and the asparagus and pea soup.

Thanks HappyPirate 😊

I love salmon but it is very oily for me ☹️
I will give this a go with some nice white fish though.

Thanks WildBrumby 😊

That’s a very impressive list for a single male. And by the way pancakes are the best dessert I would eat them every day if I could 😋
 
Well done with the steak dinner Jamie. I need to try the asparagus more in my cooking. With the mushroom I like canned sliced mushroom in sauce on toast for breakfast sometimes.

This one’s Pumpkin and sweet potato soup with bacon and curry powder.

Excellent Soup,

Jamie this thread had me thinking of my family in New York. They appear to have a Takeout culture.

The appartments are small so the kitchen is barely enough room for a coffee percolator and toaster or a single burner to reheat.

There is though within walking distance restaurants, bars, dinners, cafes and street stalls.

Have you ever observed that in a lot of US programs such as Friends or The Big Bang Theory that often show them eating takeout in their appartments?

Translate that culture to Perth and you would probably want to live in Victoria Park, Mount Lawley, Northbridge or Fremantle.

Town planning sees a lot of apartment living going up around hubs like Joondalup, Mandurah, Elizabeth Quays etc. Maybe we’re heading to the same takeout culture in the future if not already.​

I have wondered about that too and have noticed in the past year how many people I know that don’t make the time to cook or they just simply don’t know how.

We do also have the magical Uber eats at our fingertips that doesn’t help the ever growing takeout culture.

I am however an old fashion country gal and grew up eating from farm to plate, so I never got into the whole city living life myself.

I truly do enjoy cooking it’s so fun and I love experimenting with flavours. I’m very blessed to have been taught how to cook by my nana and mum, you name it and I can cook it.

So while the takeout culture is here and growing it just not my style. 🧑‍🍳
 
@Jamie I used to like woodfired stove roasts on the station. We mostly sat in the kitchen rarely used the loungeroom. Vegies and meat from off the station.

Always something baking or cooking on the wood stove. Iron kettle simmering for black coffee or tea.

Later years on the plantation I always had fresh tropical fruits or sugar cane to pick and snack on will working the fields. Some wild native fruits and bush honey too. Mostly drank spring water, rarely drank coffee or tea in those days.🙂
