This is a recipe that appeared only in the second version of The Cook's Companion. Given the number of people who avoid cooking for humans, I suspect it is only a niche group who have undertaken this recipe on behalf of their trusty four legged companions.
At the pet store today for chook pellets, I spied the chicken mince and thought it was high time I treated our beloved greyhound, who subsists largely on uninspiring dry food, to a special meal.
I decided to leave the vegetables chunky as Albert is young and strapping enough to manage a few pieces of cooked carrot in his dinner. Also, I couldn't face the thought of dirtying the Thermomix just to blitz some vegetables for the dog!
The resulting "meal" actually smelled OK, and I had to warn each boy as they arrived home not to stick their fingers in for a taste.
There it was; the one and only pet food recipe in this challenge done and dusted....and one very happy greyhound x

Dear Kate, I love your blog and always look forward to your next post. A while back, you mentioned a friend who has an autoimmune disease and is currently on the Wahl's diet. I also struggle with an autoimmune disorder, and had never heard of Terry Wahls so, thank you. I can vouch for the Rosie's/Albert's chicken dinner recipe, which I used to cook regularly for my two dogs. Who both LOVED it! I have also eaten some of this for dinner when my energy levels have been low. With a glass of wine and a splash of soy, it is not half bad. P.S. Albert looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and I am thrilled to have been able to share the information with you re the Wahl's protocol. I am sorry to hear that you also suffer from an autoimmune disorder and hope the diet is working for you as it is for my friend.
ReplyDeleteI just love that you ate some of this recipe yourself! Unfortunately I could not give it a try as the chicken I used was from the pet shop and I imagine not for human consumption.
Kate x (PS yes I think he is gorgeous too!)
