There are more chips than it appears, they’re hidden under the fish 🙈

First time making beef wellington, any and all advice is welcome.

Pretty much followed Heston Blumenthal’s method, it turned out great.

This 600 gram cheese (and it’s 2 sisters) were made using Ricki Carroll’s “Parmesan” recipe nearly 10 years ago on 7/11/16 

It was dried, vac packed and aged at 12 C.

It’s sisters were opened and eaten with much enjoyment at 2 years age and 6 years of age.

I finally ran out of patience and decided to open it.

I had a sniff, and realized that I had, sadly, gone too far.

Rather than the fruity notes I had hoped for, I got "Toast" and "Caramel". First taste confirmed that the cheese had been slowly deteriorating in flavor since I had opened it's sister 4 years ago. As I lost fruity flavor, the upside was Umami had increased, and crystal formation was just ridiculous.

I don't think I have ever seen a cheese as packed with crystals. The Umami was so strong, it actually numbed my tongue.

After resting the cheese for a while I grated it and made a few discoveries.
The crystal density increases towards the center of the cheese. I hadn't noticed this as much in previous cheeses.
The flavor has moderated after resting a bit. It's significantly less aggressive on the tongue and much more balanced.
I'm much happier about it now than I was a originally. Suffice to say I will be using every gram of it over time, so it's still a win!

i was very high in the middle of the night and found chicken breast in the fridge.

Aka goulash with potato dumplings. I was an aupair for a German family and they made this once a month regardless of weather. They served it with a with creamy white cabbage dish but I have yet been able to recreate that part. My host mom is protective and I changed families halfway through so getting the recipe from her is not possible 😅

The texture of the dumpling is the best part because of how starchy they get. I used the Knorr paprika goulasch packet that you can get at any German grocery store OR at world market or some international food aisles at your local grocery store. I recommend grabbing a bottle of Maggi in the same Aisle. You can make the Klöße from scratch or they sell premade boxes that aren’t too bad. Anyways I thought I’d share a nostalgic meal. I can link you to some recipes. But there are many on Pinterest or chefkoch.de

Hello Reddit!

My wife and I are in Paris, and she ordered this lemon cheesecake for dessert and it absolutely blew our minds. It had a Speculoos crust and the cheese portion was barely formed, it held its shape when served, but was almost like soft serve ice cream when she put her spoon into it.

Now I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to make something like this. Any tips would be appreciated, I'd love to recreate this for her as it was her favourite dessert ever.

Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.
