What did you cook or eat today (July 2018)?

[Yorky]

That roti looks like a papadum!

I cooked it much slower than I usually do. It went crisp.

Tasted OK.

I did scallion pancakes with a wobbly poached egg. Pretty heavenly. Try this u will to enjoy it.

substituting plain yoghurt for béchamel

I continue to find that yogurt is more than just a second-choice substitute for mayonnaise or cream: it's sometimes a better alternative for more than just health reasons. It does change the flavor, but the slight tang that yogurt provides works incredibly well in many situations. The fact that well-known dishes (like Tikka Masala) rely on yogurt shouldn't be a surprise, but I do continue to be pleasantly surprised.

It looks terrific...I would have guessed it was a quesadilla if you hadn't told us already. I will definitely try making this. Thanks for sharing!

If substituting for mayo I add a good dollop of French mustard (you could use American style mustard) and sometimes a pinch of sugar or Truvia. Maybe a pinch of salt.

For some reason the yoghurt and spinach with a little cheese and sweet baby tomatoes worked very well in the Egg Florentine. Much better than I thought. Maybe because the egg is creamy tasting...

Another version of vegan burger - this time with soya mince and jackfruit and a ton of spices - topped with French's mustard, tomato, dill pickled cucumber and vegan sour cream:

We visited Cajun country tonight. Last of the crawfish until next season, made into etouffe, used as a filling for hand pies that were deep fried. Side is Cajun potato salad. Hand pies aren't that pretty but by the time I got everything done, even with Craig helping, I just wanted to be done with it and put my feet up.

my wife is a fan of jack fruit. I don't much care for it.

What I really want to say is. That is a beautiful photo of a burger. Well done.

Moroccan lamb. Not good enough for the challenge, but but an easy one pot holiday meal

Its the best burger photo I've managed yet. To see how I did it look here.

Whole grains, chickpeas, kidney beans, red pepper, tofu, mushrooms and baby pac choi in miso and soy sauce for vegan son and his girlfriend's lunch:

Why not good enough? Are you on holiday (again)?

To be honest, jackfruit tastes of almost nothing (or at least, the tinned jackfruit I used didn't taste of anything) - its the flavours you put with it which matter.

I am. Again. I had to adapt the recipe so it’s not really authentic. Plus the fact that it tasted pretty awful - even the hotel cats didn’t like it.
