So, uh...about that canneloni...
That's much longer recipe for me to write out I'll do a video.
But its essentially
Making a roux with equal parts butter and flour adding milk to create a bechemel sauce.
In a separate pan, fry onion garlic, scotch bonnet and thyme and adding chopped spinach and let it wilt then turn off and allow to cool.
At the same time in a separate pan fry onion, garlic, thyme, chilli flakes and Anchovies in a pan add dried oregano and dried basil. Add tomato paste and fry in the oil stir to coat and cook the tomato paste, add tinned chopped tomatoes and 1 jar of pureed tomatoes allow to simmer for fifteen minutes add salt and sugar to taste. Sugar balances out the acidity in the tomatoes. Its important, I don't want no lip.
once cooked, stir in chopped basil and allow to cool.Mix the cooled spinach with ricotta cheese parmesan, grated nutmeg and 1 egg and mix together. This is your filling. If you can find canneloni tubes you can use these. If not use fresh lasagna sheets cutting them into squares.
Put your ricotta mix in a ziplog bag (place empty ziplog bag into a tall glass spreading the opening over the rim, that makes it easier to scoop into the bag) forcing all your filling into a corner tying the top and cutting the tip.
In a baking dish or tray put in 1/4 of your tomato sauce on the bottom layer.
If you are using tubes now would be the time to fill them and place them in the bottom layer.
I used fresh lasagna sheets and rolled them up placing them seal side down in the sauce packing them tightly in the pan so they don't unfurl. Then covered in bechemel sauce fresh grated parnmesan and nutmeg. Then I did a second layer, tomato sauce, filled tubes of ricotta and spinach, bechemel sauce, nutmeg, parmesan
Then grated mozzarella and bake on 400 till the cheese is browned and sauce bubbles up round the edges about 40 mins.

On insta Doms_nomnomsWhat's your channel called?
Let me know when your youtube is up. Since you're going to be demonstrating the recipes it would be really helpful for a limited cook like me who only knows how to make a handful of different meals
Fit men cook is for you
I currently use my phone, phone cameras are pretty good now a days. If needs be I'll mount it on the tripod and use the remote to take the pics till i get a proper camera. Do you have any suggestions?

Lamb chops if they are available

Cant go wrong with cous cous or mash as a carb or baked potato
Roastes vegetables are quick, filling and cheap
Sweet potato fries in the air fryer

I heard somewhere that food pics should be done professionally or they'll look bland..its a fine art actually that can make or break you.
I agree, it is mostly about light, shadow and saturation for me currently. The more colourful the plate looks the more appetising. Im working on getting better at taking pics tho. Presentation is key, it has to look appetising as the physical elements of taste and smell are removed.
