Smoked Tomato Soup
Skillet smoking is a chef’s trick that’s easy to do at home.

Ingredients
SERVINGS: 4
4 pounds plum tomatoes, halved, seeded, divided
¼ cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh horseradish or prepared horseradish
1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Thinly sliced basil leaves (for serving)
Special Equipment
½ cup hickory, pecan, or applewood chips

Preparation
Scatter wood chips in a medium cast-iron skillet and heat over high until chips begin to smoke, about 5 minutes. Cut a 24" sheet of heavy-duty foil and fold in half to make a large square. Fold in half twice more to make a small, thick square. Carefully place over chips and set 5 tomato halves, cut sides up, on top; remove skillet from heat. Cover with foil and top with another medium skillet. Let tomatoes sit until barely softened and smoky, 5–8 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to a plate and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, chop remaining tomatoes. Heat oil in a large pot over medium and cook onion and leek, stirring occasionally, until tender but not yet taking on any color, 8–10 minutes. Stir in garlic, bay leaves, coriander seeds, and horseradish and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and broth, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until tomatoes are soft, 35–45 minutes. Let cool slightly; discard bay leaves.
Working in batches if needed, blend tomato mixture, smoked tomatoes, and butter in a blender until smooth. Strain soup through a medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or room temperature topped with basil.

Dry Aged and well Hung:


Dry Aged and well Hung:
Are you a steak fetishist?
The sight of that ageing flesh and the whiff of fat edging close to rancid perfection
Hues who says of the prospect of a 400- day ageing :
You,ll get a taste of blue cheese and truffle
Is that what you want?

Bearnaise Sauce

Classic sauce to go with Steak
2 shallots,peeled and finely chopped
3 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp peppercorns crushed
4 egg yolks
200 g unsalted butter
Juice of half a lemon
Method
Put the shallots in a pan with tarragon,vinegar,peppercorns and 1 tbsp water.
Boil to reduce by half.
Cool,then add egg yolks and whisk in a bain-marie until light and creamy
Take off the heat and slowly whisk in butter.
Season with lemon juice. Serve.

Things to note: Can easily go wrong in the process of cooking and curdling when whisking in the butter!

World Wide Web framed in Juniper


World Wide Web framed in Juniper
Juniper berry sauce is often a popular flavoring choice for quail, pheasant, veal, rabbit, venison and other meat dishes.

Many of the earliest prehistoric people lived in or near juniper forests which furnished them food, fuel, and wood for shelter or utensils.
It is also a symbol of longevity, strength, athleticism, and fertility.

Not much juniper left up here in Aberdeenshire the reason the wood was used for bootleg distilleries back in the day as juniper wood gave of No Smoke for the authorities to see you by.

In Morocco, the tar (gitran) of the arar tree (Juniperus phoenicea) is applied in dotted patterns on bisque drinking cups.
Gitran makes the water more fragrant and is said to be good for the teeth.

Some Indigenous peoples, such as the Dineh, have traditionally used juniper to treat diabetes.
Animal studies have shown that treatment with juniper may retard the development of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in mice.
Native Americans  have also used juniper berries as a female contraceptive.
The 17th Century herbalist physician Nicholas Culpeper recommended the ripened berries for conditions such as asthma and sciatica, as well as to speed childbirth

Nargisi Kofta (Indian version of Scotch Eggs in Curry)


Scotch egg
Place of origin United Kingdom
A Scotch egg consists of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in bread crumbs and baked or deep-fried.

The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738,
but they may have been inspired by the Mughlai dish nargisi kofta "Narcissus meatballs"

The earliest printed recipe appears in the 1809 edition of Mrs. Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery. Mrs. Rundell—and later 19th-century authors—served them hot, with gravy.

Great recipe with a twist

Papaya


Papaya
Plants come in three sexes: "male," "female," and "hermaphrodite."
The male produces only pollen, never fruit. The female will produce small, inedible fruits unless pollinated.
The hermaphrodite can self-pollinate since its flowers contain both male stamens and female ovaries. 

Papayas can be used as a food, a cooking aid and in traditional medicine.
The stem and bark may be used in rope production.

The black seeds of the papaya are edible and have a sharp, spicy taste. They are sometimes ground and used as a substitute for black pepper.

Your Brain on Chocolate

Cocoa has the potential for numerous beneficial effects on the brain.

Chocolate, a fermented extract of the seed pods of the Theobroma cacao plant, is one of the world’s most popular foods. Given the active caffeine, theobromides, and rich number of flavanols in chocolate, it’s no surprise that cocoa has been used as a medicine for at least 3000 years. Could it have beneficial effects on the brain? https://goo.gl/37lUjd
