Pommes Dauphine/potato and choux pastry/ served in a crispy baked potato skin... lush. Dauphine potatoes are a super light and fluffy way to put a new spin on potatoes. Combine dry mashed spuds with choux pastry and either deep-fry or bake for really tasty light potato snacks or canapes. In this version I have baked the potato and scooped out the cooked potato, the skins I then roasted nice and crispy for a very sexy shell to fill with the dauphine mixture. I hope you enjoy pommes dauphine or dauphine potatoes at home.

English muffins are so popular, they date back to the 10th Century and maybe not English but Welsh and can be confused with another classic British griddle cake the crumpet. But for me they are significantly different, in fact I have previously produced a video for crumpets and those are made from a foamy yeasty batter, while these English muffins are more of an enriched bread recipe that is gently cooked in a skillet.
Samuel Bath Thomas moved from Plymouth England to New York in 1874, he opened the Samuel Thomas bakery in Manhattan and made the 'English Muffin' famous.
There will be historians who dispute this and who knows I could be completely wrong, but does the history of a recipe matter that much when the delightful nooks and crannies that come from the fork splitting and then the toasting of said muffin, followed by ham a poached egg and hollandaise sauce are just so dang delicious?

Pork Stroganoff - Stroganov, a private French chef working for a wealthy influential Russian familly created this wonderful stroganoff or stroganov and named it after his bosses. Soured cream and beef was a very popular combination. This dish is still popular today, so why not make your own stroganoff with pork fillet in stead of beef.

Mulligatawny comes originally from South India and Sri Lanka, it was a kind of soup/broth of vegetables spices and rice. The Britishers loved mulligatawny but requested a few changes to suit their pallet. The addition of meat was the main one and sometimes mulligatawny can be finished with cream or yoghurt instead of coconut milk. So I hope you consider making mulligatawny, lovely all year round.

The word schnitzel is German and means slice, the next couple of paragraphs I have copied and pasted from ' Holy Schnitzel' here's a link to their website... https://holyschnitzel.com/the-origin-story-of-schnitzel/
Schnitzel has managed to conquer the taste buds of many people around the world, and you can easily find this dish in most European restaurants nowadays. As far as the origins of schnitzel go, there are many sources dating back in time which mention the process of tenderising pieces of meat by pounding out the slices. The process would then continue with the meat being dredged in breading and then fried. This method of cooking dates as far back as the 1st century BC, and was mainly done in Europe.
When you fast forward to the Middle Ages, schnitzel by then had managed to become extremely popular. Not only was it well loved in Germanic lands, but also Northern Italy and present day Austria. An important fact to note that the main meat used was veal – also known as wienerschnitzel. In the 1850s, many Germans immigrated to Texas. Beef was more widely available than veal or pork, so German immigrants began incorporating beef in their schnitzels rather than pork or veal. Since beef was not as tender as pork or veal, pounding out beef began to be the new norm when making schnitzel.

Full recipe on my website, here's the link. https://www.unclemattscookerylessons.com/
Dry Brined Rib steak. Does dry brining a steak really make a difference? Yes it does.
By brining the steak or joint of meat for a period up between 12 and 48 hours, the salt has time to penetrate into the meat, this is not curing like hams, but seasoning to the core.
It also seems that the salt tenderises the meat making it more tender to the tooth, I'm no scientist so cannot explain this but the proof is in the pudding, or steak so to say.
I used a 1 rib section from a fore rib of beef, or tomahawk steak which will serve 4 or 2 very hungry people or 1 me haha. I generously seasoned it with sea salt, you can use kosher or even regular table salt. I placed the steak on a rack over a tray in the fridge for 36 hours, before tempering the steak up to room temperature.
I used the reverse sear method but you could go straight into a hot pan and sear it the old fashioned way.
I hope you give dry brining a try.
