I was a busy boy today. I made a homemade pepper vinegar sauce, tacos for dinner and also coconut shrimp paired with an orange marmalade dipping sauce. And for dessert, homemade chia pudding.

We had smash burgers with cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and fresh Roma tomato slices my youngest daughter grew. So good!

Eggs and soldiers. 3 plus 2 and 1 sacrifice. Perfect

I grabbed 45 minutes to raid the veg plot and do a little cooking

Rhubarb and lentil curry.

The recipe, from Great British chefs needs work.

Our dinner was homemade potato salad, beetroot salad, a beef burger & egg

Plus later on the day I made open faced cinnamon apple cake

The recipe, from Great British chefs needs work.

Love the idea. Pairing lentils with rhubarb is interesting.
What needs working on? The ingredients?

Yesterday I got to the restaurant early but...
It was Sunday, the busiest day of the week for brunch.
The extractor fans had broken down in the kitchen. Temperature was up above 40C.
3 line cooks failed to show up for work.
Took all the ingredients for Chettinad garlic pickle back home, and decided to make the pickle at home. Two hours later, a call from the chef:
"We've fixed the extractor and we've got a problem. The 6 kgs lamb we put in to marinate yesterday needs to be cooked, otherwise the ginger and papaya will break down the fibres. Can you come in and do it? "
Back to the kitchen to make Rogan Josh. 2 ½ hrs later, done and dusted.

Pork meatballs cooked with onion in an absolutely delicious Guinness tangy chutney

 

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Making a marinade from ‘Max’s Sandwich Book’ for some braising steak that is a lot more powerfully flavoured than I’m used to doing.
Quite excited to see how that pans out. I could not bring myself to pre-burn the garlic, it just sounded too wrong. Maybe next time.
I did slightly burn the onion and carrot but couldn’t follow the instruction to “burn, really burn” the veg.

I made his fishfinger sandwich first off (because his ingredient combos make you doubtful and Fishfingers are cheap) and it was so, so good I’ll likely never eat a fishfinger sandwich any other way.

Can’t wait to see how this sandwich Maestro ups the game with the ‘Original Gangster’ sandwich recipe.
