As one of my expensive hobbies I cook stuff from my little collection of cookbooks whenever I get the unction to go out and buy the ingredients for a recipe. Tonight I made Brasato alle Cipolle or, Braised Beef with Onions.
So, I dont have the presentation skills of the Iron Chefs (forgot to wipe the plate before I took the pic) but mmmm mmmm mmmm it was tasty. I added mushrooms to the dish cos, I like mushrooms, and they werent too obtrusive on the original - 'cept for the amount of moisture in the braising. Cos shrooms are like sponges and bananas - loads of unassuming water in there. (I learned bananas had a lot of moisture in them when there was this mealworm project in 3rd or 4th grade, had to keep them in the fridge, mom was thoroughly disgruntled and disgusted for a week)
O - the cookbook I cooked from was The Silver Spoon my newest addition acquired a la christmas present during the already mentioned holiday. Most of (or 3/4) books I have are Italian, b/c I got obsessed with the food when I dug there for 2 summers in college.
