Can you tell me more?
This looks like something I would like to attempt at home.

[pintoBC_3sgte]

turns out, its been what seems like forever since I've made anything.... Since I've stopped cooking for a career, almost 2 years ago I just haven't had the ambition or time. Well I don't know what or when it was, but I've been re-inspired to start cooking for me again!

Few things from the last little while.

tuna poke w/ a korean chilli vinaigrette, and a unagi sauce mayo



braised short ribs, spicy sausage stuffing, reduced red wine jus, crispy fried onion


short rib and chantrelle fettuccini in a truffle cream sauce


crab and lobster cake, roasted red pepper aioli, slaw (apple, carrot, celery, onion) , pickled garlic scape



steak and eggs done right!
potato pancake, sliced prime rib, egg sprinkled with smoked sea salt and topped with cholula hot sauce

[westopher]

All looks great. Can I ask what you left your culinary career for?

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Well I moved to a small town where my wife is from, meat dept. manager/ meat cutter at a grocery store

[westopher]

Oh so still very much in the food industry though. Butchery is fun.
Sometimes the prospect of a small town is very appealing to me for the sake of opening the only good restaurant in town.

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Haha it's only good if the people will pay for what you want to make. I know for what I'd want to do at my ideal place I'd want to open, I'd only get business in the summer when the tourists roll in haha

[westopher]

Their business model is a complete shit show anyway so just lie and say you own a restaurant. I've had to buy all my shit from them in cash anyways and picked it up.

Next round of stuff. Some might notice the same veg. repeating in a lot of dishes. I've pretty much given up eating carbs/starches/gluten, giving in on a few occasions but have fazed it out of my daily eating habits. Been on this since the start of February and I think I'm down 35 or so pounds. Anyways, picture time!

Bump this epic thread as I'm inspired by pinto bc's tuna poke.

[dapperfied]

More carb free dishes!!

Brownie points if you PM me the recipe for em. Fuck this salad and chicken breast meals.

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Haha I can post some up this weekend. Been busy and haven’t been posting here

[westopher]

Blanch some carrots. Preferably mixed colours baby carrots. Sauté with sugar snap peas, garlic, shallots, deglaze with a small amount of chicken stock, pull off the heat, stir in a knob of butter, a splash of lemon juice and fresh torn mint. Don’t forget to season.
Pairs well with lamb of any sort, but if you are looking for lean, rack or loin is best. Cook the lamb in a ripping hot pan, finish in oven and pull out at 130f, rest for 7-10 minutes. Before cooking the lamb rub it with a bit of Dijon, rosemary, salt, pepper and chopped parsley.

Use the freshest local veg you can get. Use Canadian lamb.

westopher needs to host an RS cooking class

[westopher]

Honestly my goal is to teach culinary one day. I’ve got a lot more time with my new job. If people were interested I’d love to.

[dapperfied]

In.

Haha it’s funny you posted this. Almost every night I have a protein with a salad... odd time I switch it up

With hiking, jogging, work outs I’ve dropped probably about 110-120 lbs in just over a year.
