Roundup Paper Chef 37
I am not sure if was the liver, but there were not that many entries for the Paper Chef this time. Even if the entries are great and inspired I would have loved to see some more people taking part of this month's PC.
It would be great to get some input from you readers on how to make PC better, funnier, more interesting, inspiring and thus get more entries. Please share your thoughts.
Mike from Spikey Mikeys went through what can only be described as living hell to get to the ingredients, 46.4 degrees Celsius. To be living in Australia now cannot be easy. My heart goes out to those who have suffered losses.
Mike is luckily not living in the affected area and could somehow despite the incredble heat come up with the most fabulous dish.
Ravioli, stuffed with liver, chestnut & parmesan, and a oregano butter sauce.
From Italy we have Ilva, who always blows me away with her fantastic food and the artful photography not only the food but the serene surroundings of her home.
This time she came up with an amazing calf's liver with chestnuts and capers braised in balsamic vinegar served with parmesan and oregano biscuits. I would not mind coming over for some nice Italian wine and have some of those biscuits. I hope you get that this was an very indiscreet hint, Ilva. Cork up those bottles and I will jump my Dutch bike and head your way.
The third entry was the one of our ruling judge for this month's PC. As the winner of last month's competition she is in charge of the faith of the other entries. I applaud the fact that she took part herself, being that unselfish. She can't win being the judge herself or can she? Or would that make her a PC dictator?
She made liver on creamy polenta with a herb salad and all of it topped off with a mix of lightly fried shallots, apples and bacon.
She says that she got the inspiration for the herb salad at Absinthe. I wonder if it didn't come from drinking the Absinthe, the dish has that dreamy character to it with the creamy polenta and the sweet, sour and salty topping that makes me think she had a sip or two to come up with this creative dish.
The last entry is my own. I can't be asked to say that much about it.
I made the easiest chicken paté on salad of almonds, orgegano, bacon, spring onion topped of with a savory tuile.

Paper Chef 36 the roundup!
Sorry for being a bit late with the roundup! It is very small but very good I think I can say without exaggerating. I hope that the reason to why we have so few participants was the somewhat difficult ingredients and not boredom, I think it was the ingredients because I felt a little perplex myself when I saw them last week: dried chili pepper, barley, vanilla pod and beef are an unusal combination but as you will se, you can make wonders with them!
The first to send me an entry was this month's judge Mike from Spikey Mikeys who obviously only will take part in the People's Choice part. He made a Chili Beef with Barley that was so good that he will make it again I believe him!
Terry of Taste Adventures has made an enticing Pepper Crusted London Broil With Chili-Vanilla Balsamic Cream and Chili-Avocado Barley Pilaf, are you beginning to see what I mean here? The imagination!
My friend Murasaki of Samurai Viking Cuisine was kind and good enough to run to the shop to make a late entry for the PC when I asked her, she came up with Barley Beef Spring Rolls With Cocoa Vanilla Chili Sauce - it was well worth waiting for!
I made Barley and Chili Coated Beef Dice on a Barley and Vanilla Couscous Cake.
See how different yet delicious these four entries are? I am impressed actually!
Please vote for the People's Choice and stay tuned for the winner that Mike will announce next week!

Paper Chef 35 - Round Up
Welcome to the round-up of the Paper Chef 35 - the final one for 2008.
Last month's winners, MizD & Chopper Dave from Belly Timber Belly Timber will have the privilege of choosing the winner from a small but high quality field of four.
This month's key ingredients were:
Rice
Blood orange
Brandy
Crustacean
First up we have Terry from Taste Adventures with his "blood" orange risotto cake, with "drunken" Mexican white shrimp in a blood orange vinaigrette.
Next is Lori Ann from Lip Smacking Goodness with her Shrimp and Rice Empanadas.
This turned into a double barrelled entry as there was enough filling leftover to make some spring rolls.
Sara from Culturally Confused created this wonderful Shrimp in Brandy Cream Sauce
And finally Mike (me) from Spikey Mikeys with a Blood Orange & Brandy marinated Prawns with Coconut Rice .
MizD & Chopper Dave will soon select this month's winner, but there is also a People Choice, so visit their blogs and select your favourite!
