Love this Catherine, an absolute testament to your skills that your boys are so proficient. Excellent dishes produced, it all looks wonderful and how lovely to be cooked for!
I absolutely love this post - superb work experience for Adam and Stevie (and well done Catherine!!).
I’m planning to try this out - especially as we’ve literally just found and restored an old tortilla presser that was under our hedge!! It’s clean now, I promise!!
Hellooo Adam and Stevie! Well done, guys. You have had the most useful and practical work experience I have ever come across. Your spice blend sounds great.
Gosh, what a lot of lovely food. Congratulations to both Adam and Stevie at coping with all the recipe writing, preparation and cooking of great food with fabulous flavours. New skills learnt ✅
Well done to Adam and Stevie, that all sounds delicious 😋
I don't understand the science either but I still enjoy using my instant pot to make yummy food. (I love driving too but have no clue what happens under the bonnet!)
Well done Stevie and Adam. I almost understand how a pressure cooker works now. The food looks delicious too. Have a great summer, you both deserve it.
p.s. is Masa, masa harina? If you can’t get it easily, does wheat flour work at all?
Masa is masa harina. Worth seeking out online as it isn’t the easiest thing to find in the shops if you aren’t in London.
You can make flour tortillas which are softer and a bit more pliable - better for wraps. And they usually include a bit of fat too. I have a recipe if you’d like it.
The corn ones are better for tacos. Do not be tempted to use cornmeal/polenta though. It hasn’t been nixtamalized and won’t work.
Thanks Catherine. I’ll try to get some online but I’d appreciate a flour tortilla recipe too. We used to be early morning regulars at Borough Market about 15 years ago when we lived in North London and our daughter lived near Brixton. Since we’ve all moved to Wales, it’s so much more difficult to buy all kinds of produce. The internet is definitely my friend!
What a fun work experience. Thoroughly enjoyable read and no I don't understand how pressure cookers work either!
I love this, what a brilliant and multidimensional work experience!!
Enjoyed this post so much- feel I now understand the science of pressure cooking a bit better (thank you, Adam and Stevie) - and my mouth is watering!
Ha, glad someone does!
I did say 'a bit' better! While reading it, felt I got it - but that understanding is evaporating into the atmosphere, not trapped in! 😉
😂😬

That is hilarious! Hope Lucas was doing something fun!

Great work, Stevie and Adam. Looking forward to trying the recipes!
Well done you two! The recipe and pictures look amazing and I will definitely try to make it myself.

Wow well done very well done indeed 🎉

Good analogy! Although I can make a good stab at figuring out what is wrong when a pressure cooker isn’t working properly and no hope with a car!
You can never have too many tacos 😃
This looks like a really tasty recipe. I have done the shredded chicken from MPC but I live the sound of these sides as well.
It's making me even more sad that I passed on the tortilla press in the local charity shop recently. It was fine when I went back an hour later ☹️

What a brilliant idea for work experience and love how diligent they were about it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That sounds like such a special time! And can you pop round and cook that for me please
I’ll stick them on a train…
I knew I could rely on you
