Sunday evening cooking

Sudden urge to make potato chops on Sunday evening, odd or what.....maybe to do with the glut of cooked mince in the fridge staring at me, and the love for the things the whole family have.
Id forgotten how time consuming it is - boil, peel, mash, form, egg, breadcrumbs, fry on low etc, but turned out lovely.

 

Next was the pannacotta, loved the mix H brought back from Milan, looked it up and supposed to be dead easy. So got the big container of double cream from Costco and all set, only to discover there was no gelatine.....cue looking for no gelatine pannacotta recipes on a Sunday evening. This is with egg white, baked and is gorgeous, other than the fact that mine turned out more like a creme brulee.

This picture is the fun that turned out to be the caramel topping becoming like sun sugar. The kids had a blast with it and tried weaving their own strands with the bits on their spoons, before it all turned cold and hard and set.......I have promised to do it again as a fun activity, so they are waiting for a date.....Need to experiment more with caramel - spun sugar, toffee sauce, praline etc.......

We are going to India :) delighted.....
