random recipes round-up #17

29 June 2012 by Dominic Franks

… it seems the middle is a nice place to be if you’re a cook or a cookbook writer… much less random than the first or the last and all rather yummy… once again a wonderful selection of submissions to random recipes for which I am ever grateful… and some more virgins to add to the pyre too!

blog: Jennifer’s Journal
book: Bill’s Sydney Food by Bill Granger
recipe: Grilled Chicken Club with Avocado Mayonnaise
Jennifer kicks of the middle this month by NOT cooking the sardine recipe found in the first random choice cookbook she picked but the second… I do understand, if you’re not  fan of sardines and anyway, will you look at this club sandwich… is it not perfection?
blog: Please Do Not Feed The Animals
book: Meat – by HFW
recipe: Aromatic Pork Belly Hot Pot
Lou got meat… quite literally… this is an amazing book both beefy in weight as well as content but the recipes are fantastic and i’ve actually made this myself so I know how good it is… 
blog: Baking In Franglais
book: Gorgeous Greens by Annie Bell
recipe: Pea Risotto
I was actually leafing through this very book myself the day that Jean’s post came through and was admiring this very same dish… and as if by magic…
blog: Lavender and Lovage
book: River Cottage Veg Everyday
recipe: Vegetarian Tartiflette

how could you not love a tartiflette… both Karen and I are self-confessed tartiflettes… tartiflette… i’ll say it again… tartiflette… oooh the tongue is warm!

blog: Under the Blue Gum Tree
book: Leiths Cookery Bible
recipe: Roast Chicken with Bread Sauce

Claire couldn’t find a woodcock in SA so had to settle for a simple roast chicken but just look at the beauty!… perfection personified…

blog: The Taste Space
book: Moosewood Restaurant Cooking for Health
recipe: Chinese Cabbage and Five Spice Seitan with Fermented Black Beans

Janet reminisces about Chinese take-outs and Chinese food in this lovely post and cooks from the brilliant Moosewood book… I really need a bowl of this right now!

blog: The More Than Occasional Baker
book: Make Bake and Celebrate by Annie Rigg
recipe: Malted Chocolate Cake

Ros uses a colleagues birthday at work to bake this stunning cake… which means we don’t get to see how fabulous it looks inside… but if the outside is anything to go by that was one very lucky friend!

blog: As Strong As Soup
book: Jenny Baker’s Cuisine Grandmere
recipe: Far aux Pruneaux

Phil goes all French on us yet again with his randomness and comes up with this delight… Prunes may not be to everyone’s delight but I love ’em (as does Phil)… and that’s all that really matters…

blog: Exploits of a Food Nut
book: 100 Sweet Treats and Puds by Mary Berry
recipe: Chocolate Rum Cake

poor Gary is left hugely disappointed and a little deflated with Mary Berry and her oh so clever egg separation situation…it’s clearly her fault and not yours… walk away from the kitchen Gary… walk away from the kitchen…

blog: The KitchenMaid
book: My Abuela’s Table by Daniella Germain
recipe: Albondigas

a mexican meatball from a Brit living down-under… don’t you just love the blogging world… Lucy makes Grandma’s finest Albondigas taken from the middle of the book that was in the middle of the book-shelf!

blog: Cooking Around the World
book: Supper with Rosie by Rosie Lovell
recipe: Grilled Mackerel with Pomelo Salad

love love love me a bit of Mackerel… divine fish!… and thankfully so did our Random Recipes Virgin Chris and his lovely new blog Cooking Around the World… please welcome him nicely to the gang!

blog: Sharky Oven Gloves
book: A Treasury of New Zealand Baking
recipe: Greek Yoghurt and Honey Cake

Mel tells us all about how she ‘borrowed’ her mums whisk… didn’t we all… but how lucky she was with all the whisking she had to do to make this glorious cake…

blog: Working London Mummy
book: Fast and Rich Marie Claire Cook Book
recipe: Seared Scallops on Lemon and Red Pepper Risotto

Naz is back to work soon… can you believe her maternity is over already?… but this dish of wonderfulness must be a little comfort for her… would be for me!

blog: Dancing Veggies
book: Essential Pasta Cookbook
recipe: Pasta with Anchovies and Broccoli

another RRV this month, which is so lovely, especially from someone lovely like Amanda who’s been a longtime follower but never taken the random recipes plunge… and another lovely dish to kick her off…

blog: Magnolia Verandah
book: Jamie at Home
recipe: Creamy Rice Pudding and Strawberry Jam

lucky Denise to have chosen this yummy dish too!… and to get to make strawberry jam as well… I love it just for that… it could have been a lot worse… spiders webs on toast anyone?

blog: Laura Loves Cakes
book: Mini Pies
recipe: Mini Mississippi Mud Pies

Laura goes all out fabulous again with these divine mini creations… and uses baking beans for the first time… couldn’t you just sink your teeth into them…

blog: Makey-Cakey
book: Mornflake Oat Cuisine
recipe: Oaty Pancakes
Ruth experiments with upside down pineapple pancakes with a book she ‘rescued’ from the charity shop… and comes up trumps with some delightful looking fabulousness yet again… I wish breakfast at my house was this yummy!
a couple of late additions…
blog: The Spice Garden
book: Sheila Lukins All Around the World Cookbook
recipe: Spicy Peanut Sauce
Susan goes all Italian with her Thai food and this rather fancy thai sauce with bowtie pasta… but you know… it’s all food!

blog: Cooking Up A Storm In A Teacup
book: The Big Bean Cookbook by Nicola Graimes

recipe: Grilled Pollenta
Debby does her one day a week vegan with this wonderful grilled polenta… something I have still yet to cook with… but it’s the thai curry it goes with that really looks fabulous!
and that’s it for this month… I have an exciting, simple and hopefully fun idea for next month, so do tune it on Sunday for the next exciting instalment…

    Lovely round up and a very interesting and inviting set of dishes. Middle of books, but not middle of the road. You could create a really good menu out of that lot.
