Highly recommended. Brilliantly written.  And here's the cookbook I'm using...  He's a sort of American Gordon Ramsey, but makes GR look like a wuss, and his jokes are waaay funnier. |

Marty x two firm free range chicken breasts rubbed to the power of 10 with cayenne, slow cooked and finished. With parsley? Hmm, an image springs before me of firm white flesh speckled with tantalisingly fragrant specks of green luxuriating in a sea of onions, tomatoes and peppers, the fragant juices .......... Martle, behave yourself!!  I will investigate that forthwith, finding that I have today been awarded a £15 Amazon gift voucher. |

Anyone else a fan of the American chef, Anthony Bourdain?
Oh yes! The naughty boy of the kitchen. I read 'Kitchen Confidential' a few years ago. A heady mix of real passion for food, amazingly inventive blasphemies and hair raising behind-the-scenes detail. Makes Gordon Ramsey look like a mild mannered vicar |

If some TV Chef who had influence, as Delia has, seriously promoted vegeterian recipes together with a BBC programme and a nicely produced book, would it not be good? As Andy says (paraphrasing Frank Zappa) vegetables are sexy, colourful, and sometimes come in rude shapes which adds to the fun!
I'll get me Kohlrabi
PS Andy didn't say that in so many words, I was exercising poetic licence!
Hmm Frank had an album called Uncle Meat didn't he? I think I'll stick with the Beach Boys: I'm gonna be round my vegetables
I'm gonna chow down my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table
If you brought a big brown bag of them home
I'd jump up and down and hope you'd toss me a carrot
I'm gonna eat my, my vegetables
I'm gonna love my, my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table |

Guess that means you're not a fan of Captain Beefheart then? Certainly not Distant cousins, there's a limited supply. And we're down to the dozens, and this is why: Big Eyed Beans from Venus! Oh my, oh my. Boys and girls, Earth people around the circle, Mixtures of man alive. Big eyed beans from Venus, Don't let anything get in between us. Beam in on me baby, and we'll beam together I know we always been together, but there's more. Mister Zoot Horn Rollo, hit that long lunar note, and let it float. (That's actually from Clear Spot  ) |

 I actually heard Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band play live - it was about 2am and there were probably 20 people there. |

Meanwhile, back with the cooking, here's the real Zena Skinner, not that topless temptress that MJ posted!  |

My pic of Zena was taken off Sean Lock's TV's Believe It Or Not. After Zena, there was a woman who cooked her own placenta and turned it into paté which she then fed to her relatives  Now I know you carnivores and we veggies have our differences but that is bonkers isn't it? Recipe: blend half a placenta with butter, onions, garlic and chopped parsley/sage. |

Hope I haven't put everyone off posting here with my reference to the placenta recipe. I'm the one who should be most offended after all!
Had a very nice red lentil, char-grilled aubergine and pea curry for tea - mmm

This doesn't sound like my cup of tea! A gourmet coffee blended from cat droppings is being sold at a London department store for £50 per cup.
Jamaican Blue Mountain and the Kopi Luwak bean are used to create Caffe Raro which is thought to be the most expensive cup of coffee in the world.
Kopi Luwak beans are eaten, then passed, by the Indonesian Civet cat and sell for £324 a kilogram.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7340005.stm |

O deep joy! I just opened one of the jars of pickled cucumbers that I made a week and a half ago to have a sniff and see how they were coming along. Wonderful smells! Needless to say, I couldn't resist testing just a little piece <gannetemoticon> OH YUM! The unmistakable green taste of Dill, well-behaved garlic and a good-natured rap over the knuckles from the mustard seeds. Crunchy texture and a c-l-e-a-n taste. My first ever pickled cucumbers. I am quite overcome |
