mushroom risotto.
Looks delicious, but, rather than using cream with risotto, I tend to have a very generous hand with butter.
Oh there is butter in there too lol.
I like just a dash of cream at the very end. I find it adds a mouth feel that is hard to replicate.
It is easy to go too far though. This was probably just under a teaspoon of cream

My Gf made a pretty amazing mushroom quiche last night.

Looks delicious; hope you enjoyed it.
Pasta (cooked in stock) with Gorgonzola sauce - generous quantities of Gorgonzola Cremosa melted, with double cream added, - and shredded kale.
Dinner will be croissants, with cheese.
While I have no ham to hand - yes, a ham and cheese croissant would be nice - I do have cheese, especially cheese to use up, and croissants to use up.
So, one croissant shall be served with Comte and Gorgonzola, another with Comte and Camembert, and a third with Comte and Stilton.

Dinner will be homemade vegetarian tom yum soup, with Japanese ramen noodles.
Sautéed carrot and onions, to which peas, shredded kale, diced tomatoes, chilli, ginger, lemongrass (chopped), lime leaves, fish sauce, tom yum paste, soy sauce and stock have all been added.

Wonderful weather here (70F/26C) with clear sky and golden sunshine. This lead to a nice picnic lunch with my wife (homemade grilled sandwich w/ artisan bread, roast beef, honey baked ham, salami, Swiss cheese, bacon), a small bag of veggie chips, and a small Diet Coke. All capped with a Ferrero Rocher.
I will go to my grave saying Chicken Scarpariello is the most underrated meal. Perfect combination of meaty, savory, and spicy. We’re having it tomorrow for Christmas Eve.
This is not a dish with which I am familiar; in fact, I have never heard of it?
What exactly is it?
It’s an Italian dish with chicken, sausage, potatoes, onions, and peppadew peppers. It is so good.
Not my picture, but this is what it looks like-

Thanks for sharing - that looks absolutely delicious.
I daresay that garlic (in copious quantities) also makes an appearance.
Have you a recipe that you could possible share with us?
Anyway, do enjoy.
I believe this is the closest to the recipe that we make-
Chicken Scarpariello
Braised chicken thighs, sweet Italian sausage, and roasted potatoes on a weeknight: Yes, you can.
Although we use boneless chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs, and I think we use spicy sausage instead of sweet. But the beautiful thing about it is that there’s so many different ways to customize it and make it your own. You can even leave out the sausage if you want.

Thanks a million, very much appreciated; that sounds aboslutely delicious.
And no, I would probably leave chorizo - or Italian spiced sausage - in the dish; in my experience, chicken and spicy sausage go rather well together.
Mashed celery root by itself is a little too much for me. However it does work well blended with potato.
Blending mashed potatoes with other root vegetables is a great way to temper the assertive flavor of the other ingredients. Parsnips is another example.
This can also be a way to save a few bucks. Parnips at the farmers market are much more expensive per pound than potatoes.

Christmas dinner is going to be roast capon with stuffing, berry pie, and the side (which I'm cooking) mashed celery root. Had it last year and it was excellent. A nice alternative to mashed potatoes if you're looking for something different.
A mixed root vegetable dish in stock, or, as a gratin (with minced garlic and a blend of cream and milk) is a wonderful side dish.
Actually, I used to serve potato gratin, (superb with steak), but once, some years ago, having a shortage of potatoes, I tried a mix of potatoes and celeriac; then, I graduated to using a mix of potatoes, sweet potatoes, celeriac, carrot and parsnip - seasoned with generous quantities of garlic - and milk (full fat) and cream, and it works wonderfully well (it is extremely good with sausages).
Dinner this evening - I dined in solitary splendour - at a splendidly laid table (French cotton tablecloth, French cotton napkins, American leather place mats and coasters, Waterford crystal - Lismore pattern - glassware, for both water and wine, antique silver fish knives and forks with ivory handles).
The meal itself comprised of shrimps, crab, smoked salmon, - served with two dressings, both homemade: My own aioli: A head of minced organic garlic, two organic, free range, egg yolks, sea salt and olive oil, and my own Marie Rose (i.e. cocktail sauce) dressing: Mayo, tomato ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestshire sauce, cream, sea salt, black pepper, and Spanish pimentón, smoked sweet, paprika.
Sides included organic roasted potatoes, (organic) cucumber salad, in a lime and lemon - both freshly squeezed,- sea salt and brown sugar dressing, (organic) tomato salad - dressed in olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and chopped fresh parsley.
Served with Chablis 1er Cru, an excellent white wine from Burgundy.
