Looking through my Aperture library I realised that I had quite a few other great photos of food that I’d made. Mostly sandwiches, as somehow they make up a large part of my diet, but a few other things. So, a selection.

Pulled pork ciabatta<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

This is a pulled pork ciabatta that I made a week ago or so. I had a shoulder of pork that I marinated\/covered in chipotle and BBQ glaze and then roasted for a few hours until totally tender. And what better way to eat it than in a sandwich (actually over multiple sandwiches (and they were all awesome)). The inspiration for this came from Pig<\/a> in Victoria, BC and the Cuban sandwich from Garden at the Cellar<\/a> in Cambridge, MA. Both very excellent places. Lots of mayo, tomato, rocket (arugula?), swiss cheese, pulled pork, stuffing (how British!), BBQ sauce and hot sauce all in a fresh ciabatta made this lunch gnarly. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Gammon with Piccalilli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next up another pork based monster. This time I got a roast gammon, and kept it simple with just piccalilli<\/a>, a little mayo, Pave d’Affinois, and rocket in a seeded multigrain roll. The contrast of the tangy piccalilli with the strong cheese worked well… <\/p>\n

Finally, something other than a sandwich. I got so inspired by going to CPK for the first time (thanks Amy!) and having the great combination of caramelised pear and gorgonzola that I thought I should give it a go. Suffice to say it was fantastic. Especially the smell of the caramelising pears. I made the pizza dough myself using a fantastic recipe involving a little honey and olive oil, which was then left in the fridge for a day or so to sit there\/ripen, the pizza topping was pretty much self explanatory (it kinda was in the name…), and I had a little rocket (not quite pictured) on it just to make it seem vaguely healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
