    Carne asada taco with guac, salsa, cheese, tomatoes and cilantro. I had a couple of these but in order to keep the tortillas hot I made them one at a time. Meat is grass fed. Tortillas were made fresh the old fashioned way (corn, water, lime) this morning from a local shop. I'm way too lazy to make my own.

    If you buy masa harina flour, knead in the food processor, and use a tortilla press it only takes 20 minutes to whip up a big stack of tortillas. I live in an area where store bought corn tortillas are hard to come by, which is why I bother.

    Veggie burger in a homemade brioche burger bun and a few waffle fries, with chilli ‘Mayo’ (actually Skyr but who cares - serves the same purpose for a lot fewer calories!)

    Dinner party at my place with a pretty low stress Chinese dinner. Dongbei guo bao ruo where instead of double deep frying the meat according the classic recipe, I dry fried in a low non stick pan to harden the wet batter (mixed with some vegetable oil) followed by a finish in the air fryer. You can do all the steps before the air fryer and final stir fry in the sweet and sour sauce in advance. Szechuan aubergine salad and smashed cucumber can be similarly made in advance and served cold. Not pictured, lychee sorbet for dessert.

    The lifts were broken in our flat building, so we had a store cupboard dinner. Linguine with bottarga and leftover roast red peppers from yesterday.
