TPN:The Single Man's Guide To Cooking Great Shit

The Not So Single Man Cooks Chocolate Souffle

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 05:35:42 +0000

It’s been a while since I podcasted here. Mostly because @fddlgrl turned up and I stopped being “single”. But I *have* learned something new – how to make a chocolate souffle. I had my first attempt last Saturday night and it was a DISASTER. Nothing worked. But I was undeterred. I tried it again last night and it was PERFECT. Chrissy shot a couple of minutes of it on her iPhone. Here are the links to her YouTube videos.

The Making.

The Result.

Single Man Cooking #5 – Roast Beef wrapped in prosciutto

admin — Wed, 20 May 2009 12:59:44 +0000

It’s been too long! I shot this episode a couple of months ago when @RossHill was in town. It’s another Jamie Oliver recipe – Roast Beef wrapped in prosciutto. The side dish is caramelized brussel sprouts (something I first had in a vegan restaurant in San Francisco a few years ago) and snow peas.

And yes… I do say “a roast billet of feef”… but the piano had been drinking, not me….. not me…. (that’s a little Tom Waits joke).

Single Man Cooking #004 – Chicken Green Thai Curry

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 08:26:52 +0000

In this week’s show I sing and dance a little less because it’s all about the cooking… well, there’s also a kitchen disaster and some vodka. Okay, and some singing. This week’s artist of choice – VAN HALEN.The dish? Chicken Green Thai Curry. Here’s the recipe if you want it.

BTW, it was BLOODY FANTASTIC. Too spicy for the kid, though. He tried valiantly but gave up after a few mouthfuls and had baked beans on toast instead.

The Single Man’s Guide To Cooking Great Shit #003 – Eggplant Cannelloni

Tonight I cooked up a recipe I got out of Epicurious.com – Eggplant Cannelloni. It was TOTALLY AMAZING. As I usually try to eat vegetarian, it was bugging me that I hadn’t made a vegetarian dish on the show and I’m glad I picked this as the first one. It’s totally brilliant.

The Single Man’s Guide To Cooking Great Shit #2 – Fantastic Roast Chicken

Another recipe out of Jamie Oliver’s book “The Return Of The Naked Chef” – “Fantastic Roast Chicken”. You season the chicken with lemon, prosciutto, thyme and butter, and roast it with potatoes and celeriac (or, in my case, fennel). This was my first ever roast chicken and it was totally mind-blowing! My kids gave it 10 and 9.5 out of 10. Not bad for a single dad.

Well this was a disaster. Dont get me wrong – the food turned out great. Its a Jamie Oliver recipe – White Risotto with Thyme, Prosciutto, Pecorino, and Goats Cheese. Delish. But towards the end of the cooking I had a bit of a kitchen disaster. Ah well. That’s what I get for dancing a jig.
