let's try this again, photography wise.



fajitaritos. (pretty much fajitas with rice added).

Probably the best cheap meal i can think of since it feeds like 9, and costs about $10 to make. so $10 to have a week's worth of leftovers that go really good with other things,

I do understand the criticism of my post.
I also acknowledge that they are well done photos of good food.
I've expressly said I'm not criticizing that particular post; but rather that it is a good representation of the "I am a good chef because of this crisp photo of mac and cheese" photo style that has become so common.
A good camera and lighting can make up for what poor ingredients and a poor cook cannot, and I'm tired of seeing it and I'm sorry my words did not convey that.

I get what you mean. It makes me think a lot of an article like this http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/10/food-styling-tips-for-home-cooks.html where its very easy for the picture to start getting really silly with all the add ons to the side.

That's exactly correct according to the book. Pressure cookers get to 245-250F, so you can get much more caramelization without losing the water.

I make tomato sauce a lot, own a pressure cooker and a first edition of modernist cuisine. The pressure cooked tomato sauce recipe I tried didn't have nearly the depth of flavor of the more traditional preparation I use. If you want it waterier you could always add water at the end.

It did not plate the way it did in my head, which would have been a nice nest of onions and peppers on a bed of farfalle with the sausage slices lying on top and a trickle of sauce around the edges and over the top.

...yeah. Did get me a great imgur comment of gordon ramsey calling e a donkey though.

tasted good. made a bacon and jalapeno tomato sauce that is really really good.

Homemade pizza off a pizza stone at 525 degrees

Home made dough, a local grocer makes fresh moz, criminis, a really nice cured salami, and some spinach.

I used a canned sauce as a base but added a poo poo ton of minced garlic, dried red chilis and a splash of wine.



It's the heat from the dried chilis that really makes it.

Looks great!

Home-drying chillis is easy and great and gets you awesome results. I have a Trinidad scorpion chocolate chilli bush and the dried chilli flakes I make from it are pure nightmare/heaven depending on how much you like 1.2-2 million Scoville heat units in your food...

I grilled a spatchcocked chicken after rubbing with oil, parsley, and garlic.



Then I served it with oven roasted potatoes and a simple salad.



It was goddamn delicious. And I made chicken stock with the scraps.

Thanks! I used the technique, if not the whole actual recipe, from the Food Lab. Essentially, par-boil in water with baking soda and salt, drain and add oil that's been infused with garlic and rosemary, roast at a high temp (450) and flip once. This time I used a glass roasting pan instead of metal, which gave a slightly different surface, not quite as crisp. Still really good.

For lamb ribs, you've got two options that I can think of. Either shop somewhere that serves a lamb-eating population: I bought mine at a Russian supermarket, but I bet that a halal butcher would be able to hook you up as well. Costco sells whole, cut-up lambs. I've never bought one (just stared longingly), but I think that includes lamb breast, which is basically a rib cut.

The other idea would be to go straight to the supplier. A year ago, I bought a lamb from a farmer; I gave her instructions for how I wanted it to be butchered.

Either way, lamb ribs are awesome. I can't wait to go home tonight and finish the leftovers as I drink beer.

How did you prepare them? That picture of them makes gives me feelings that food probably shouldn't.

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
I just got some lamb ribs myself and am trying to decide how to prepare them. Chef John has a root beer/sesame recipe that seems interesting.
