This is the second of the recipe boxes I am trying – Mindful Chef. After my experience with Gousto (which was totally satisfactory regarding what they supplied, but fell down in my execution of their recipes), I decided to wait until this week, when I was on holiday and had plenty of time.
Recapping, I bought a 3 meal package from Gousto, and recorded what happened with my first meal.
This is the first recipe I have tried from the Gousto recipe box. Basically, it is posh fish & chips. The steps described were straightforward enough, and I didn’t feel rushed (however, at 30°C, I did feel hot!). My presentation skills not-withstanding, it looked nice enough on the plate, and it went down very well too.
As I mentioned, the other day, this week I am trying a recipe box from Gousto. The box I am reviewing contains 3 different meals, each with two portions; it sells for £34.99, but I am taking advantage of a £25 discount, giving it to me for 9.99.
Here’s the thing: I can cook, and cook well, but left to my own devices, I tend to get in a rut – even that rut will start out healthy, but soon declines with my enthusiasm. That’s largely how this blog started!
I bought a duck for Christmas, it was oven prepared and looked great. The instructions were to roast it at 180℃ (350℉) for an hour and forty-five minutes. I decided to cook it in my pellet grill at a lower initial temperature – 82℃ (180℉) – to give it some smoke, before turning up the heat for about an hour and a half, in order to crisp it.
If you are serious about cooking, you’ll probably want to measure the temperature of what you are cooking. In particular, with BBQ, you are often cooking to a target internal meat temperature.
I recently saw this picture on a friend’s Facebook page, and was just blown away. It didn’t come with a recipe, but cooking bacon and pancake mixture isn’t that hard to pull together; it was the idea that was genius.
