Ooh, I have a question. I want to be able to prep poultry legs/breasts like you get in nice fancy restaurants, ie with most of the skin of the leg bone removed/cleaned up. I think it's then carved up in a way that it includes the breast meat. I can't picture how it's done...

I've tried googling for instructions or for a tutorial video but my search terms must be well wide of the mark.

Any hints, anyone?

Yes! Thank you. I'll get on it. Think I had one in Cafe Rouge and it was fantastic. Soaking in butter and garlic.

Had the last piece of duck for dinner. No idea what part of the body it was, but it was still strawberry floating delicious. Made a little salad to go beside it with lettuce, sliced cucumber, spring onion, bamboo shoots, sliced chilli, raw shitake mushrooms, orange segments and some of this Ginger & Mandarin dressing. I want to still be eating the duck I was gonna take a photo, but I just wanted to eat it.

New discussion. Nice and simple. Best soups.

Discuss flavour, brand, etc. Home-made recipes are always welcome and encouraged.

I really like the Duchy Chicken, lemon and tarragon one. Delicious.

I love a nice homemade Leek and Potato Soup, always add a twist of chilli to it as well. Goes great with some chopped up pieces of bacon scattered on the top after cooking.

Butternut squash, sweet potato and sweetcorn. Cooked with a touch of currey powder and garlic is magic.

Simple soup is the best soup. I like using frozen veg like broccoli or peas.

The question is, do you make your own stock or use a cube?

There's a really nice pumpkin/squash soup in Delia's vegetarian book. Aso tomato based souls work well with little cubes of fried halloumi as croutons.

I liked Heinz Mushroom soup and OXTAIL soup (from a tin)

Whats everyones favourite sausages? Richmond sausages for me.

I have no idea what my favourite sausage is. I don't eat nearly enough as I should. I like those tesco finest flavour ones especially as they go on offer quite a lot.

I really like Italian style sausages with fennel in. Delicious. Wish i had some to put on my pizza tonight. Actually I think I do in the freezer. Hmm.

Not sure what that is, but I made a chicken and tarragon soup the other night, then whacked some pastry over the top and baked it. Soupy-pie thing. Lush.

Created stock with white wine, chicken thighs, onion, carrots, white leeks and celery. Simmered for an hour, separated and diced the chicken, then discarded the vegetables.

Cooked the green leek in butter and a touch of garlin til soft, added some plain flour, added the stock, brought to boil. Added chicken meat, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, put in individual dishes and added ready-made puff pastry lids. Baked for 20 minutes.

It was absolutely amazing. Tarragon is my favourite herb, I think.

Spiced chick pea soup is a big fave of mine.

Very easy to make as well.

Tarragon is rather nice. It's nice if you put it in white wine vinegar and leave for a couple of weeks. We used to grow Tarragon but these winter months don't treat it well. The only stuff that survives is thyme and rosemary atm.

Put some thyme, a bay leaf and a little bit of tomato puree in your stock

Duchy is a brand if that's what you were asking? You get it from waitrose.

Sausage in a soup?

The new Heinz squeezy soups are very good. Compared to those cup-a-soups, they're practically Michelin stared.
