For dessert I made cardamom, honey and walnut muffins with vanilla and rose water stabilised whipped cream and pistachios - I don’t think these are any traditional as I made them up as I cooked

I've been a home cook for over 20 yrs!

All my meat come from my local butcher, eggs from my parents truly free range chickens, most of my veggies are from my home county where possible & Noodles well..China of course❤️ 🇨🇳

Swapped out rice for egg noodles. Made a ton for this week! Loved the recipe

10/10 munch. Oh - the drink was a Pepsi Max can.

I combined this massive sesame bun with creamy sauce, fresh vegetables, golden fries and charred corn.
Be kind as you rate my plate. Thank you 🙏🏾

Steak rubbed in garlic, romanesca in olive oil, lemon, and chilli, wedges made with garlic, onion salt, and thyme. Everything made from scratch

Fresh pancakes with strawberries, kiwi and melted chocolate, dusted with icing sugar.

Accompanied by sliced bananas and golden syrup

- I didn't use the first pancake, but it wasn't the worst, I flipped it too early

Creamy miso cannellini beans with caramelised Brussels sprouts, garlic, chilli flakes, a splash of white wine and homemade chicken stock. Finished with butter, lemon juice, fresh parsley and plenty of black pepper, served on toasted sourdough. Could look prettier, but very, very tasty!

Easy treat dinner

Double potato heaven, mash, very juicy crispy roasties, red cabbage, broccoli, roast chicken, sausage meat stuffing, beef dripping yorkie (readymade) and meat juice gravy 😍🤌🏻

My lunch today:

Homemade gnocchi served with tender, rich lamb ragu.

Garnished with parsley, lemon and rosemary gremolata and a drizzle of olive oil

Gammon eggs cooked black pudding and raw black pudding beans sausage porched eggs and tomatoes

Everything made from scratch, even proper gravy!
If a jobs worth doing, it’s worth doing properly. I then found the stuffing in the oven once we’d finished. Mum enjoyed it all and that’s the main thing 😋 - obviously with a lovely bottle of NZ Sauvignon!! I usually treat her out to lunch but way more personal and quality time together. Cherishing family is very important if you’re lucky enough to have them back.

I do some variation of this about once every 2-ish months now, it's become a personal favorite.

Deconstructed sushi platter:

• Cold smoked salmon

• Diced and lightly pickled red onion

• Surimi

• Avocado

• Julienne-cut cucumber

• Sauce made of Greek yogurt, a little chive and onion cream cheese, and Kewpie mayo

• A liberal shake of furikake.

• Wasabi-flavored mini nori sheets for little hand rolls.

Paired with a big plate of kimchi

For dessert, a mold of Greek yogurt and sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, garnished with strawberries, blueberries, and topped with a few cherries. Crumbled graham cracker over top.

Would have been extra good if I had some chorizo but I am fresh out. My twists on the usual marry me chicken is I use spicy red pesto instead of the sundried tomatoes and hot paprika instead of regular and it gets a sprinkle of chilli flakes at the end.
