Probably not something most folk would consider making at home. But we were chatting the other evening and the chef at a pub I used to live at came up in conversation. He used to made his own version of Salad Cream for event buffets as he wasn’t a fan of the wholesale version. So into the kitchen we toddled!
Ingredients:-
Mayonnaise
White Wine Vinegar
Mustard powder
Castor Sugar
Mix and match the quantities to suit your taste.
Method:-
(1) Blend everything!
As this has a high acidity it will keep for quite some time in the fridge. Not much chance here though!
Even if I wanted to I couldn't give a recipe for this! Well I'll have a go...
Ingredients:-
Cauliflower Cheese (Rescued from a box in the freezer)
Chicken and Mushroom Pie filling – possibly?! (Rescued from a box in the freezer)
Method:-
(1) Defrost.
(2) Demolish in the blender.
(3) Heat in a pan.
Served with a bit of greenery from the balcony box this was actually a very hearty lunch. We may have to postpone our experimental cooking until later this evening!
