erialc 2 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Inspired by a comment gogo made about videoing cooking and also DreDD's wicked Sacred Documentary. It's not a video more a slide show lol No Idea what this is...I was a touch bored and wanted something spicey that I can reheat for a day or two...you decide for yourselves Give it a clicky The Ingredients were: Steak Shallots Garlic Fresh Ginger Chilli's Paprika Anchovy sauce Beef Extract Tin of chopped toms Tin of chickpeas Chicken stock (which I forgot to use) Mustard powder Creole spices (ready mixed) Plain flour First I sweat off the shallots, ginger and garlic in olive oil. Meanwhile added to some plain flour, salt, pepper and lots of paprika. Diced up the steak and coated it in the flour. It's good for sealing in the flavour and also thickening the sauce as it cooks. Pop the meat in the pan to brown it off, not really to cook just brown and seal. Then I added the chilli's, anchovy sauce (just a splash) it's great in sauces for it's saltiness. Once it's looking browned deglaze the pan with tons of red wine (save some for drinking later). Add in the tin of tomatoes, chickpeas and more chilli's (depends on how hot you like it) Give it all a mix and cover it and pop into the oven. After an hour or so remove the lid and let it cook down for as long as you like. I was at a loss with what to serve it with so I boiled up some pasta and mixed it all in. Viola, warm and hearty for sure! and it'll be good for a couple of days...gaming food thats fast and yummy (well I think it's yummy) Finish off with some grated parmesan and a glass of vine Photobucket is so easy to use...once you have your album/account opened up and you have uploaded the pictures you want...click on the option up top to Create Remix. It's so easy and user friendly you really can't go wrong from there. If you want one without music etc...you can create a slideshow. It's the first time I have done this and it was amazingly fast and easy I'd love to see more if anyone else does any or even a video would be awesome! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,072 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Claire, this is one of THE coolest takes on thread presentation I've seen here yet. Good for you! You know, when I first started watching your mini-movie, I was like...it can't be Claire's own place..it looks like a professional cooking studio! And your eye for color and organization when cooking makes the piece even that much more attractive. I love the symmetry of food placements, the way everything is organized when frying all reflections of your style and that much more attractive for all of us, hungry viewers, to feast on. I think it's obvious how much you love this art. Every frame of your work is suffused with passion. I'm thinking that you've started something very cool here for us all to be inspired by. And your choice for this menu item...ahh, beef, glorious beef Gorgeous Claire...let's go FDM Chefs...let's see what else is cooking out there! gogo Link to comment

And I haven't even tasted the food yet! lol. The pictures are really stunning. That's the first thing I noticed. Did you touch them up? Use really good lighting? Have an uber elite camera maybe? Whatever it is those images look very pro. Honestly Claire. For a first creation that is absolutely stunning.
