I did win a cooking competition many many years ago on Australian cooking show. But I like to know not if you are a good cook, but do you like cooking? When I say cooking I don't mean just Thai food or you country food, I do mean cooking food from other countries. Just love to cook! Both professionally and in home. The Show you won, was that Master Chef Australia or something a little bit lower. I have been following all the food shows. Actually people that have not worked in the business can give great ideas and great inspiration. Just love to cook. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never cook Thai. Lately, I have gotten into baking. Now, I am pursuing sour dough. It's been working pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstevens Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 13 hours ago, Meat Pie 47 said: Well I am not in Los anymore but I really like Indian curry, I make my own curry and seldom buy it from the shop I never use curry powder I make the real thing from ingredients but many people are to lazy to do that. There was a Gordon Ramsay cooking show where he had a cook off with one of Thailand's top / most famous chefs. One of the dishes was a curry. Gordon Ramsay made the curry paste from individual ingredients while the top chef used a paste made by someone else. When the top chef saw Gordon making the curry paste himself he said words to the effect of, "What are you making the curry paste for, no-one in Thailand does that, we just buy it or have someone else make it for us!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Cooking and chemistry are very similar operations. Time, temperature, reactants. As my Thai GF has taken over most of the cooking, the only thing I do nowadays is poached eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyphodb Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 On 7/4/2020 at 11:25 AM, flinc2020 said: Thoroughly enjoy cooking, even more so since coming to Thailand where the food is not as enjoyable as in China. My main problem with continuing my love of cooking here is the lack of a kitchen. Even new build houses here seem to be devoid of a kitchen. My condo has a "kitchenette", well, a sink and a hole yo put stuff and a fridge. Neighbours here use a gas cylinder and burner on the balcony for all their cooking but with my washing machine taking up 60% of my balcony I cant do that. I have an electric hob, a godawful induction hob and an oven so things are improving on the cooking front although I really miss my kitchen back in China with a hot water tap for the sink for washing up (instead of having to boil a kettle), shelving for all my ingredients and appliances. Can't have that here because my kitchen before was about half the size of my current condo. One of the things I enjoy about cooking here is the need to improvise, keeps your brain working. You'd be amazed at what you can cook with a tabletop oven, one gas hob sitting on top of a gas bottle and a slow cooker for example... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you took time to visit me, you would see that i have progressed dramatically with my cooking, almost at Gordon Blue standard, or something like that. Tonight Tandoori kebabs, marinating in the fridge now, photo tomorrow. Edited July 5, 2020 by colinneil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Fingerling Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 23 hours ago, toofarnorth said: Have you tried the Tesco Madras sauce ? I think it is like what i remember years ago in Indian restaurants in england. I can recomend it but may well not be to your taste. Bought a jar last week and deffo to my liking. I hoped you enjoyed it, I make a base gravy from onions, oil, carrot, potato, cabbage green a red capsicum, ginger garlic paste, tomatoes, coriander leaf & root, coconut milk plus whole spices. I boil then simmer until everything is soft then blitz it with a hand blender then sieve it. This gets me around 20 litres which I freeze in litre cups. More authentic and far cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poloshirt Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 On 7/4/2020 at 3:15 PM, Harry Fingerling said: I love Indian curry too having lived in India for some years previously. I particularly like British Restaurant curry which accounts for at least four of my meals weekly. There’s plenty of online Indian wholesalers in BKK that will deliver anywhere for a small price. The curry is good for you . Kurmin one of the ingredients and also others like cinamon. You will not get alziemier disease when you are old. Or inflamation of the fingers. Or pain in knee or shoulders. Of course it is not hundred percent fool proof. Most likely it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
