...suitably quaffed with a couple of glasses of gorgeous Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, from Lidl, at a Billy Bargain price of £6.99:

My kind of lunch that is! Just been away for the weekend, staying with family in London. Had just that kind of lunch when we arrived.

Yesterday, had some fantastic steak done on the bbq but didn’t think to photograph it (was too busy feeding myself). Real quality cut from prime Australian cattle, cooked perfectly, it was salted and seasoned with a garlic, onion and mustard rub the night before too.

Florentine fishcakes

Smoked haddock, spinach, potato and cheese in crispy crumb.. Georgoushttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...141c5b48d5.jpg

Nice.. Like a good fishcake, and the chips are quality, as usual:)

Also like how you've put the ketchup on the side, rather than plastered the food with it!;)

Kneaded and left for initial proving for about an hour.

Knocked back and stretched for a bit then plonked in a floured Banneton while the Dutch Oven was coming up to heat (230c) in a fan oven.

Transferred the loaf to the DO once up to temp.
Sprayed the top of the loaf with water but didn’t cut it this time (as an experiment really) plopped the lid on. Took the lid off after 15 and turned it down to 190. Came out perfect after 20 mins.

May be my oven as is quite furiously hot anyway?

Nearly all my loaves are 700g so will need more time but yes, maybe your oven is hotter than mine for a given temp setting.

Or maybe you guys have just got big appetites!!:D Love all the stuff you've posted recently, and that chippy looked good, too.

Jon, your Thai soup looked epic, and no doubt tasted the same. Also, photographically, that bowl of soup is up there with some of the best food pics ever shown here - just stunning!:clap:

Like your salad as well, Roy-Boy... And Tony, that's MY kind of loaf, as I love a nice, crunchy, thick, 'well-fired' crust!:cool:

Same crew as the fish & chips. My wife's cousins family of 4 who came to see the new gaff.

Chicken was served with corn, red peppers, salardy things etc too pissed to think about taking a photo by that stage...:D

Your tea looked very pleasant.

Not homemade but from Russell's. Vegetable lasagne

Quite good too.

I do suspect mine runs quite hot. I generally set it on 180ish when it’s asking for 200c fan.
