[Article: Wood-Fired]
This year's 3Camp venue had a wood-fired pizza oven, so I signed-up for a shift of cooking for my fellow volunteers and thoroughly enjoyed making and baking a monumental amount of dough.

Pasta being cooked in a sauce
Whats the Italian 🇮🇹 term for #pasta cooked in sauce, rather than water?
The Yanks call it "one-pot pasta", which feels crude. I want poetry.
Today, I was ahead of schedule, so I decided to take the extra time needed to cook the pasta in sauce. Instead of […]

[Note: Eject Toast]
Most-often when a toaster has a 'cancel' button it's simply labelled 'cancel', 'stop', or with a cross. But this week, I discovered a toaster that uses the 'eject' icon - like you'd find on a VHS tape recorder - on its button.
At first I thought this was an unusual user […]

[Note: Chapattidilla]
Wanted a quesadilla. Didn’t have any tortillas, so substituted chapattis. It went… only okay. The earthiness of the chapatti pairs with mature cheese less-well than the cornflour-sweetness of a tortilla does.I tried it, so you don’t have to!×

Two loaves of bread are resting on a wooden cutting board. The one on the left is a bread-shaped loaf. The one on the right has a bulge on the left side that looks like a kindergartener made a loaf of bread. Follow up report: The second attempt was better in symmetry, but both attempts tasted fine.
My first attempt at bread making was not the prettiest but very tasty. #photography #baking #bread #cookery
That's tonight's supper done: pork steaks in a herby mushroom and onion sauce... to be served with spuds & fresh veg when I finish work...

Lime drizzle cake just out of the oven.
A bit worried the loaf tin was too big but its come out OK.
Lime Drizzle. Recipe calls for 1 lemon, I find 3 limes just right for the swap. Plus the pulp from the squeezed limes add more to it.

Mr Therm making an apperance, ad infinitum, on the cover of a c.1960 publicity recipe book. This copy was issued by the North Thames Gas Board whose area covered North London and the surrounding areas. Mr. Therm had been conceived by artist and designer Eric Fraser for the old London based Gas Light & Coke Company in the early 1930s; the use of this jolly little mascot had flourished after his adoption by the wider gas industry, pre- and post-Nationalisation, until he was retired around the time of North Sea Gas. The cover is dominated by blue and yellow with Mr. Therm, wearing a chef's hat and with a copy of this cookery book in his hands, in red. The title panel, in yellow is upper left, and the rest of the cover shows a kitchen table with utensils and ingredients. inc. a mixing bowl, a flour sifter, a bottl eof wine, tomatoes, mushrooms and lemons.

Ok Bluesky, help me out. My uncle has these in his cupboard and none of us have any idea what they’re for. We know it’s food prep of some sort. Any idea? #cooking #cookery #kitchens #baking
