I found this recipe in a French magazine from the 70s! 🔝 My kids ask to cook it every day!

    Thanks for the recipes! Just a tip to those learning to cook - cut and prep everything BEFORE you start cooking so you don't feel rushed, then the cooking experience will be really enjoyable! Happy cooking everyone~!

    Here’s a grating hint. Lay the box grater on the side with the desired slicer side facing up. It functions more like a mandolin and you have much less risk of grating your knuckles because you have good leverage. And a much neater grate since the food stays inside the box until ready to use.
    Another hint for mushrooms and strawberries. Use an egg slicer for perfect, uniform slices quickly. Saves on chopping also.

      Throughout I was wincing at the knife and grating technique. 25 years working in kitchens with chefs and I never saw nails like that. I was worried!
      (Lovely nails though, dish looks good) just be careful!

      I can’t use it on its side and I don’t mind if my mushrooms aren’t perfectly cut but it’s pretty easy to get them as good as with a knife. But I understand if you’re not very good at cooking and don’t have good knife skills. Good tips for the disabled though or those not so good at cooking 👍🏽

I liked that you used cream in your custard for extra richness and the whole thing looks so flavoursome. This one's a winner for me and I can't wait to try it as I haven't had a timbale for years and years.

      ​​@@retroguy9494- It's like painting your house. The proper prep work is more important, more tedious and frequently more boring than actually getting to the heart of the matter, and doing the actual painting and trim work!
      But in cooking, all this prep work is more important than actually assembling all the "pieces parts" and making the meal itself.
      In fact, it even has its own terminology - it's called "Mies en Place" or "Mees en Plass" which is French, and technically means to "put in place" but refers to preparing all your ingredients in advance, and "putting everything in place" so you can just assemble all the ingredients by cooking them.
      I spent quite a few years, in "another life" working in restaurants, doing everything except managing the whole place. I started out washing dishes, cleaning dining rooms, then went on to learning and doing wait staff work, hostessing and cashiering, changed to "back of house" for better money, and learned prep work from a commercial standpoint, worked as a general prep cook, a sou chef (soups, sauces, dressings, etc.,) then in bakery and desserts, etc. Finally I worked up to line cook, and kitchen manager.
      One place I worked, the "chef" in charge was such a prima donna, and so unpopular with the other staff, especially the waitresses, because of his bombastic attitude whenever anyone criticized their food and sent it back, you could hear him raving all the way in the far corners of the dining room. He'd have some of the younger waitresses in tears, just for doing her job, and making him do his. The manager was feckless, and refused to deal with him, so I started working on him myself. After he decided on the special for the day, made it or at least showed us what he wanted done; then made the soup du jour, I started encouraging him to "take a few hours break" and let us handle the lunch rush.
      There were plenty of us, and I had proven myself capable of running the line for a meal time (and not blow the place up!) And he actually took me up on it. I bet him $10 that we would not only do it in his absence, but do it with no complaints from the customers OR the staff! He took me up on that too, sure that he'd win that bet easily.
      We, working as a team, and not beating up on the wait staff in the process, won that bet a week running. I didn't mind pocketing an extra $50 bucks, when I kept all the money, which I rarely did, but he sure minded losing it!
      The first day he went strolling out of the building to his big red Cadillac parked in front of the building, smoking one of his tiny little cigars and drove off, some of the waitresses came in to the kitchen in a panic, wondering why he was leaving just before lunch??😮
      6I assured them that it did not mean they were going to lose their jobs because the place was closing (well not yet anyway, but we didn't know that yet) and we were all going to get through it just fine. So good in fact that he would never be missed! I promised them I would not treat them like the idiots he did, and any plates that might come back would not be met with screaming, profanity, temper tantrums or threats of being fired for incompetence. I didn't work that way, and they had nothing to fear from me. They LOVED IT, and we all got along swimmingly! One 🍽 plate came back, because the customer wanted his 🍔 hamburger cooked a little more. That was too easy! I always cooked burgers to at least medium, per food handling standards and restaurant policy, and if they wanted it more well done, that was simple. Had it done in 5 minutes, redressed and sent back to the dining room and in the waitresses hands before she realized it had already made it to the grill. The customer was justly pleased, and the rest of the day went just as well. No screaming, shouting, or controversy, the kitchen was run neatly and quickly, and by the time "His Majesty" came strolling back in the building, I had the kitchen broken down, most steamtable pans redone, the originals being run through the dish room, the grill clean and oiled; the floor swept and ready to be mopped, and everything else wiped down and sanitized. It was quiet, calm and organized. He was aghast, and I made him pull out his $10 and hand it over! I got it changed into ones from one of the waitresses who wanted to "sell" her small bill tips, then I just distributed it amongst the team who had all cooperated in making the shift run so smoothly. There wasn't much to go around, so I didn't take a share to make it go round a little further. Besides, I already knew we could do it without "His Majesty" ruining the day! 😅
      This lasted until just before Christmas holidays ended, and the owner decided that despite our hard work, the location off the beaten path was making it difficult to get customers into the building. So he closed the business "temporarily" he said. He wanted to relocate, but found that anything in a better location, in decent condition, and that wouldn't need major redoing inside or out, and that was available, cost much more than he was willing to pay.
      So, while we waited for him to make a decision, most of us couldn't wait very long without a paycheck coming in. So, eventually, most of us, including me, had to find other jobs. I did, in a fairly ritzy restaurant - the kind with a dress code, thick carpets, brass railings, live plants tended twice a week, a high class bar, fresh seafood flown in to the local major airport twice a week, prime ribs cooked fresh each morning and/or afternoon, depending on what day it was, etc. They were looking for cooks and wait staff, and 3 of us ended up working there. It was cool working with other coworkers we each knew from the old place. (Which never reopened anyway.)
      I took the prep cook's job they advertised, and it worked out nicely. Lots of experience gained in many more prep items - fresh made salad dressings each day, fresh 30 gallon steam kettles of clam chowder whenever the supply got low, other soups made daily, fresh baked loaves of bread to serve each table in the evenings; fresh cut veggies, battered and fried as "free snacks" for their "Happy Hours" for the bar, freshly baked quiches with house made fillings each day for lunch specials, and prime ribs brought in every other day, seasoned in house and roasted in the special convection ovens for that purpose, etc., etc.
      I learned a lot there, including their own recipe for clam chowder! I memorized it (naturally,) wrote it out at home, and broke it all down to a one gallon portion. It was a real hit at home, and for guests!

Although I I know I will lose some flavour can I use semi skimmed milk and although again I will lose flavour, can I use some cheese and low fat chees triangle's, the cheese triangle I use are still very tasty.

All natural ingredients, and easy substitutions, if needed. Can use coconut milk can, in lieu of cows cream. Allergic to a vegetable? Choose another. There's a lot of healing that takes place, just by the process of preparing a nourishing meal.
