Ok so I'm not an artist, writer, sculptor or anything else but there are a couple creative hobbies I enjoy and one of them is cooking.
I don't presently own a camera (I'm hoping for one this birthday)
Anyhoo, I really really enjoy cooking and like making fairly complicated meals that friends and family will oooh and ahhh over (I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one on LOR who cooks)
So I figured this would be a good place for all us creative foodies to post our recipes and hopefully pictures of them.
This weekend I'm having a dinner party, which is the only time I really cook anything elaborate - my husband is a food philistine and thinks KD with some fried ground beef and salsa added is a delectable meal *shudder*
Oh right forgot to add what I'm cooking
Appetizer is: terrine de foies de volaille with toasted french rounds (chicken liver pà¢té)
Soup: French onion with smoked gruyà¨re
Main: rosemary braised lamb shanks, garlic roasted potatoes, red pepper/garlic grilled winter squash.
I want to do something with pears for dessert.
I was thinking of a mild cheese stuffed baked pear (maybe brandy???)
with maybe a carmel/pecan drizzle???
Cheese I was thinking of was taleggio, but I do have some brie, and blue on hand if you guys think that would go better
Dunno any suggestions?
