Hello
My other stuff
You can also find me on…
Twitter – test recipes, Warhammer, product stuff
Haunted Phonograph – a couple of podcasts and an old comics blog
Flickr – where I used to take a lot of pictures of modern art, food, and buildings
Instagram - like my Twitter, but with selfies
LinkedIn - 🤷♂️
About the recipes – quantities,
specificity, etc
I’m often blogging something I’ve just cooked, so between that and being profoundly forgetful, I may not consistently list exact quantities, temperatures, or times.
The more recent recipes are a bit better for that, because I realised it was bloody annoying.
The title, “louche gastronomique”, what’s up with that?
It’s an adolescent pun.
Larousse Gastronomique was one of the great early food encyclopedias. I used to work in a book shop, and I also used to go in for a lot of cringe-inducing fey self-styling. It made sense at the time.
Oh, and don’t buy Larousse Gastronomique as much other than a historical curio. Harold McGee’s book, McGee on Food is far more interesting and useful.
