Now that we're into a couple weeks of Corvfefe what have you been creating in the kitchen?

Fish pie got a 9.8 out of 10 from my contrarian friend, who will never give anything he's not cooked a 10, as he demolished a massive second helping 
Not too hard a dish either, I had to save the mash from being too gloopy and a little bit of juggling on the hob and oven but apart from that it was straight forward enough.

Why is it called a hob? We call it a stove. I've never gotten an explanation of where that comes from. Yes, I can google it.
According to one of the many varying answers on Quora:
Many years ago the kitchens in large houses had huge fireplaces which had a shelf above the fire on which items were cooked, this was known as the hob so now that most kitchens are equipped with an oven & a separate hob or hot plate rather than the old one-piece stove, hobs often occupy an entirely different position away from the oven for practical reasons.
I think (and this is pure conjecture) that you guys still use full cookers / stoves much more so than over here where we'll have built in ovens and then a separate hob in the worktop.

I'm doing a Medieval Tavern Dinner with my niece and nephew 2 Saturdays from now. I've been looking at some really cool recipes to do.
It won't be true to period all the way but it's gonna be fun.
Doing Brie en croute, some dried/cured meats and cheeses, fresh crusty bread, roasting some game hens and a few other things. Probably a poached fish of some sort.
I'm finding that they REALLY loved ginger in the 12th through 15th centuries. (The period I'm getting recipes from) It's in practically every one!

I've made some amazing artisan breads recently using recipes from Ken Forkish's Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast if you don't have a recipe yet.
This one isn't as complex but it's still great and stupidly easy - quite literally all you're doing is mixing and doing a quick fold, the rest is all hands off time: https://www.recipetineats.com/easy-yeast-bread-recipe-no-knead/

I have the box
Tortilla pizza. Pasta sauce or the ready in a jar pizza sauce. Layer of pepperoni, Mozzarella. In non stick frying pan. I use setting 7. When the cheese melts the back is lightly toasted. Onions on top is nice too.
Well worth a purchase mate. I've got a dead starter for pizzas of his I need to get round to using. The bread I've made from it has been next level and the knowledge and techniques he teaches have really upped my pizza game. I'm dialing in a 62.5% hydration neopolitan dough jist now but I was messing around with 70-80% by hand no problem off the back of this book.

I've still not nailed "my" pizza dough but bread wise I'm quite happy to stop at the results from his book. Light and airy crumb with a really nice crusty exterior depending on how long you bake after removing the Dutch oven lid. I've never had a bakers bought bread that can match it.
Pre COVID we used to do pot lucks on inservice days in work and I'd usually do a curry or stew. colleagues are now asking me to do breads when we're allowed to bring food in again :

Made my first pizza in a while, using the thin crust recipe that was posted here a while back. Harvested a bunch of peppers from mom’s garden and just sautéed them about halfway before putting them on. The red ripe jalapeños were fruity and delicious.
Pizza looks good. I've did a little experiment pushing the Pizza App to the boundaries of a few options before it says you're overdoing it.
3.3% salt
24 hr room temp bulk rise
72-96 hour cold ferment depending on your f we do them tomorrow or Tuesday. Will report back.
Mrs JBJ is now rocking the cold / chest infection I had last week so for breakfast she quickly chucked together some porridge with peanut butter, banana and almonds. It was amazing.

Well look what I picked up
Mrs JBJ wanted a small jug for making sangria. £8. The casserole was £16 quid!! They had a couple of dutch ovens too but smaller ones I probably wouldn't get much use from.

I got "black Fridayed"
Wasn't due to arrive until late January but here we are. It's a monster, 6.7 litre 28cm which is frankly ridiculous for our 2 person household but it's beautiful.
It shall live on the hob.

Hmm sounds like something I need to try.
