We are total foodies.
I'm pretty sure that if we didn't have to be responsible adults and have jobs and the such we would just go to cooking school and travel around the world finding new places to eat.
We love food. Cooking it, eating it, discussing it, we love it. One of our favorite things to do is order a meal and try to break down the ingredients that are in the dish.
Lately though, Logan and I have been looking for a new hobby we could do together and we happened upon a brilliant idea.
Master Chef.
We LOVE this show and decided to do our own little mash up of it.
The break down:
1. The pickin's.
-There are 3 options:
1-Pick one ingredient to be the star of the dish.
2-Pick an assortment of ingredients that will be the only ingredients that are allowed to make the dish.
3-Pick a specific dish which the both parties have to attempt to make.
2. The prep.
-Once the objective is revealed 15 mins of prep time is given to come up with the idea, browse through recipes, etc.
3. The process.
-When all the prep is through, the fun stuff starts! One fast paced hour of cooking time.
-When all the prep is through, the fun stuff starts! One fast paced hour of cooking time.
-Our meals now complete we critique the dishes and score them on presentation, creativity, use, taste, and technique.
This round was Logan's choice, he decided on Option 1: One star ingredient. . . BRATWURST!
The dishes turned out fantastic! Logan made a middle eastern take on toad in the hole with grilled broccoli, garbanzo beans and an amazing brown gravy. While I made peach glazed brats with roasted vegetables and cous cous.
Logan accidentally made his look like a smiley face without meaning too, and it wasn't till after time was up that he realized it so I squeaked by with a win this round.
All in all it was a fantastic experience and I suggest you give it a try if you are as die hard foodies/cooks as Logan and I are.
Someday I will pretend I am profession cook. Check.
