What's for Supper

 

Extreme Leftovers

My partner Jerome and I have a bit of a weekend ritual that we really enjoy. I call it 'Extreme Leftovers'.

Jerome brings home whatever protein is left over in the kitchen at Les Trois Garcons where he is head chef and I throw in whatever ingredients, pastes and condiments are left over from my week's sessions at Eat Drink Talk . Then Sunday morning we sit down and pick through our collective spoils and decide what on earth to eat.

Depending on my week there could be anything from Thai chili jam, Catalan romesco, or Malaysian rendang paste in my fridge and after the Saturday night tasting menus have been eaten and the restaurant finally empties Jerome comes home with everything from 42 day aged sirloin to Bresse chicken from France.

Our collaborative efforts, fueled by glasses of wine and streaming music from Geneva's Couleur Trois , are never boring. Here are a few examples.

  • What's for Supper: The Steaks are High

    Tired of tapas, bored of fusion and sushi won't do it anymore? Sometimes all we want a slab of beef - a charred, juicy and unashamedly big hunk of steak and we want it now. Here are three delicious recipes to have your steak and eat it too.

  • What's for Supper: D'ough!

    I love the way that often within an hour you have the sensation of fresh bread without the lengthy rising times of making a full-fledged loaf. It is possibly the best sense of quick-hit culinary satisfaction that I know.
