    It's a 4 day long weekend in the UK and I'm doing a dinner party tonight. Will start with bitterballen I made and froze a couple of weekends ago to cook in the air fryer. They are essentially a dutch croquette made of congealed beef stew, so are liquid when you bite into them.

    The main will be beef lok lak. The meat for lok lak in this recipe is similar to the recipe I learned during a cooking class I took while on vacation in Cambodia.

    Though I do the accompanying lime and pepper sauce for the lok lak more simply.

    Trying a side of a copycat recipe of the cucumber salad at Ippudo where I had lunch yesterday. Love that Ippudo salad, and hope this is similar.

    Pulling out some chocolate sorbet from the freezer leftover from my last dinner party which I will serve with strawberries.

    Made flourless chocolate cake for last night's seder. It got a lot of complements and was plenty not super sweet. Very rich, pretty fudgy, not too sweet. Could have used some unsweetened whipped cream on the side.

    New to me rosti mini balls prepared in air-fryer but they all burst. Not sure what happened.
    Turkey breast cut into cubes. And cooked in fresh mandarin juice, black pepper, ginger, hint of sea salt ,a little butter. And with a thin sauce of 1 small spoon peanut butter diluted into 1/3 cup water.
    Big salad: lettuce leaves, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, 1 dill pickle. 1 spoon vinaigrette homemade.

    Lamb hotpot, subbing elk backstrap for lamb. Looking forward to trying their tuna pasta bake, subbing sardine fillets for tuna to use up some of the tinned fish hoard left over from the sardine tasting adventure a while back.

    My last batch of dutch bitterballen (croquettes made of congealed beef stew) have been bursting in the air fryer too. Have tried making them smaller for the new batch. I might also air fry half the normal time, then prick with a toothpick to allow steam to escape before air frying the remaining time.

    For a day in which I restful I was absurdly productive in the kitchen. Brisket in the instant pot (nothing amazing - if anything a bit disappointing), around 2.75 quarts of homemade chicken stock which simmered for most of the day, and matzo toffee.

    @aokoye i make this and serve with a raspberry coulis...nice way of contrasting the intense chocolate.

    Went nuts in the kitchen yesterday making food to cover Easter/Passover lunch (all of which had to be gluten free for two of us eating). Flourless chocolate hazelnut torte (began with roasting hazelnuts then grinding then for the flour), grainless tabouli and accompanying lemon sesame dressing, beef and chicken sateys and peanut sauce to go with them, orange pomegranate salad and lime honey dressing to go over it. In the middle of that making matzo pizza for everyone for dinner.

    Yeah last year I did whipped cream and fresh raspberries. It was great.

    I am planning to cook simply tonight. Linguine carbonara stretched with some spiralized courgette using this recipe.

    Roast cherry tomatoes that are simply pricked with a fork to prevent explosions and tossed for 10 minutes in the air fryer.

    I made "Bangers and Mash" last night. I had picked up some "Irish Style Bangers" from Aldi. I cooked those up and made some homemade mashed potatoes with brown gravy with onions. The bangers weren't bad, but they do have an odd texture.

    Chana masala. A bit too acidic this time around. Baked apples are also in the oven.
