You Want Me To Cook What?
July 29th 2008 15:12
As there has been a recent increase in new E-mail subscribers to Rawfish I thought it was time I communicated more directly with the readers. What is it that you, the reader, would like to see me to cook?
I know a lot of recipes, but if I have never made a requested dish before, I will study up on it, talk to my colleagues, and give it a go. That is, provided the ingredients are available in Australia and the expense is not prohibitive.
From wedding cakes to live shellfish, foreign food to bush tucker, raw fish to lacto-vegetarian, you name it and I’ll see if I can do it!
I always cook a whole duck at Christmas time, if you like duck, or maybe someone would be interested in how to prepare and cook brains. When I was a kid my Mum showed me how to roast a whole pigs head. There is a surprising amount of meat on one!
Perhaps you would rather see some more practical basics. Last October I demonstrated how to make béchamel, also known as white sauce. Last month I made chicken stock. Maybe you want a decent batter recipe? Do you need help making gravy?...Or custard? I know a variety of yummy ways to spice up mincemeat if anyone is interested.
I’d like to thank all the E-mail subscribers, especially those that have been there since the beginning. I only know Michael J was one of the first three subscribers, so thanks Michael and everyone.
I’d also like to welcome the new subscribers. Your clicks, comments and votes are appreciated and I hope you enjoy viewing Rawfish as much as I enjoy producing it.
E-mail subscribers to Rawfish get an automatic e-mail notification whenever I publish a new post so I encourage readers to subscribe. You don’t have to be an E-mail subscriber to send in a request though. Just leave a comment at the bottom of this post.
I look forward to reading your input, even crackpots are welcome! (No scientologists please.)

I love cous cous. It is filling, it's low fat, and it cooks fast! I tried a salad at a party, and it had little raisins in it-it rocked. You know any recipes like that?
Also, I love pasta dishes with chicken and avacado! Also, something I have always wanted to do, is successfully cook a turkey-just like they do for Thanksgiving. I must admit I have never tried, b/c I hear it is very difficult, and I haven't wanted to set myself up for the disappointment........
keep up the good work!

I once had this great dish where the quail was crispy on the outside but moist on the inside -- I wish I wasn't eating with *un*known company so that I could devour it without looking like a pig

I will get some quail and make it. The hardest part is deboning the birds, but if it is thouroughly deboned you can eat it without making a mess.
Turkey is not so hard. The most common mistake is not allowing the bird to be fully thawed before attempting to cook it.
The second most common mistake is allowing insufficient cooking time prior to service. You just have to plan well ahead and get the timing right.
