Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 lb cool margarine, cut into small pieces
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 large egg white, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 ounces potato chips, crushed (about 6 cups, my favorite is Ruffles)
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate chips
Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven; preheat oven to 350°.
In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and nutmeg until combined; set aside.
Put margarine in a big bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until softened.
Add in both sugars; continue beating until combined but grainy, with no bits of margarine visible, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the egg, then the egg white and vanilla.
Turn off the beaters; add in the flour mixture, and beat at low speed until a sticky and thick but nonetheless soft batter forms, about 20 seconds.
Remove the beaters and stir in the crushed potato chips and chocolate chips with a wooden spoon, just until evenly distributed.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto 2 large ungreased nonstick baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8 minutes, then reverse the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom.
Continue baking for about 7 more minutes, or until the cookies are browned and somewhat firm to touch.

Chestnut Soup With Bacon - Velouté De Chataignes Et Bacon
7 ounces cooked and peeled whole chestnuts
1 stalk celery, trimmed and finely chopped
1 small onion, peeled & finely chopped
1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
2 pints ham or vegetable stock
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pint creme fraiche or single pouring cream
For the croutons
4 ounces lardons or bacon, cubed
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 ounces day-old white bread, cut into small cubes
4 tablespoons olive oil
To make the soup, you simply place all the ingredients, except the crème fraiche or cream, in a large saucepan.
Season lightly with salt and pepper, bring up to simmering point, then put a lid on and simmer very gently for 45 minutes.
While that is happening, you can prepare the croutons.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the bacon gently for 5 minutes, then turn the heat up to its highest setting, add the cubes of bread, together with the thyme, and toss them around (keeping them constantly on the move) until they, and the bacon, have turned a deep golden brown colour and become very crisp and crunchy.
Take them out & leave them to cool on some absorbent kitchen paper.
As soon as the soup is ready, add the crème fraiche or cream & mix well - allow it to cool slightly, and then transfer it to a blender and purée until smooth. (You may need to do this in more than one batch, in which case, it is a good idea to have a bowl to put the soup in as it is ready.).
Re-heat the soup in the pan, season to taste and serve in warmed soup bowls, with the croutons, bacon and thyme sprinkled over.

When done, cool for a couple of minutes and carefully slide a butter knife or thin spatula under the leather.
Cut into 2-4 pieces and roll into cylinders. Store in zip lock baggies.

Thai Beef Jerky (Nua Sawan)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon thai white peppercorns
5 tablespoons palm sugar or light brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1 lb boneless top sirloin steaks, sliced paper-thin
Put the cumin seeds in a 9-inch skillet and dry-roast over medium-high heat, sliding the skillet back and forth to ensure even roasting until the seeds are fragrant, about 45 seconds. Remove to a plate to cool.
Add the coriander seeds and Thai peppercorns to the skillet and dry-roast for about a minute or less, until they exude a pleasing aroma.
Transfer to the plate with the roasted cumin seeds.
Cool the seeds, before they grind in an electric spice or coffee grinder.
Transfer the ground spices to a large shallow pan and add the palm sugar and soy.
Add the beef, stir well to coat thoroughly, cover, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Put the marinated steak on wire cooling racks and dry in the sun for a day, turning occasionally to ensure even drying.
Alternatively, dry the marinated steak in a 150 degree F oven for at least 8 hours, until they are dry and leathery. Store in the refrigerator.
To serve, shred and deep-fry in hot oil until crispy.

Lamb Jerky
750 g lamb fillets
toothpicks
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
Cut meat into thin slices cutting with the grain running length-wise. It's easier to cut if partially frozen, and easier to hang on the rack as below if you leave the lamb in relatively long strips (say 15cm / 6").
Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well and add lamb.
Put on a plate or shallow dish, cover and marinate overnight in refrigerator. Turning once or twice to re-coat is a good idea.
Place foil on a lower rack in the oven to catch fat / marinade.
Put a toothpick through each end on the lamb and use it to hang the meat from the top rack without the meat touching the rack.
Cook for 6-8 hours at 60C (140F) with the oven door ajar until dried to desired taste. The door only has to been open a little to let out steam so just pry open a little with a fork or similar.

1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
salt
ground black pepper
1 large red bell pepper, seeded,cut into eighths
1 large green bell pepper, seeded,cut into eighths
1/3 cup finely minced parsley
In pressure cooker, heat oil.
Sauté onions and garlic until onions are soft, about 2 minutes.
Stir in vinegar and, while cooking for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
Add lamb, tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to blend Lock lid in place and, over high heat, bring to high pressure; cook 12 minutes. Let the pressure drop naturally, about 7 to 10 minutes, or use a quick-release method. Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. If the lamb is not fork tender, return to high pressure for 5minutes more. Remove bay leaves; stir in the red and green peppers.
Cover and simmer over medium heat until peppers are crisp-tender, another 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the parsley and adjust seasonings before serving.
Serve over wide noodles.
