I love panna cotta in all kinds of variations, but I never paired it with rhubarb, because the rhubarb we get around here doesn’t turn pink, it turns grey-green-brown. Not very suitable for desserts ;) But yours looks really pretty!

I’m intrigued by your sisters’ name, its really unique. Though not liking chocolate? What gives?

Winter is the perfect time for stews. I make a similar type of sausage stew, but mine is rather unfortunately dubbed sauserole in this household. Same concept though, 2 pork and fennel and 2 chorizos, beans, tomatoes and red wine. Delicious with polenta.

hi jules, here is the recipe… sorry it was’t a stew but a casserole… but still looks good. i think adding some different flavours would also make it interesting… maybe a moroccon twist.

Hey Jules,

I know it wasn’t a dig at me… but I’ve been practicing my faux pain in honour of the world cup :)

I look forward to your future (no doubt exceptional) poached egg endeavours.

matt,
the poached egg comment wasn’t a dig at you…was referring to my pathetic inability to poach eggs..but am planning to rectify this with your tips..
totally agree with you about variety and cumin…I just wish I had some different plates

deborah
the lamb and barley stew sounds great…would love to see the recipe.
pashmak would be a perfect garnish for a saffron panna cotta…definitely give it a go …looking forward to seeing a post on your site soon!

yum… i was watching the cook and the chef on the abc the other night where maggie beer made a delicious looking lamb stew with barley – it had 4 hours worth of cooking, so all the ingredients had combined together. it looked and sounded mouth watering.

i was just thinking that i need to try making panna cotta as i have a box of pashmak which i think would be a lovely garnish for a saffron panna cotta – what do you think?

“No one needs the pressure of having perfect looking poached eggs, particularly on a tuesday night”… Gah!… you cut me deep right there… you cut me real deep. Every night is a great night for perfect poached eggs ! But I humbly accept your subsitution.

I like how you have more than one place to take your photos… unlike mine, which either feature purple malomine, or a stove top in the distance. Variety is the spice of life… well that and cumin.
