    @mjbnj0001 - I actually used it as a sprinkle on top of the pasta in place of Parmesan cheese. 😇

    Breakfast of leftover nam prik from last night's dinner party. Whipped up a batch of nam prik goon sod because the leftover dip to vegetable ratio was a little low.

    Kept dinner very simple with some tomato sauce and turkey meatballs found in the freezer. The braised red cabbage was also found in the freezer from a batch cooking session.

    @100_Rabbits 😋!! I forgot how much I love peanut stew! Adding back into the menu next week! That looks great.. I like it spicy too. Do you use ginger in yours?

    Tuna tartare stack (tuna & onion, avocado & mayo, beetroot, pickle and tamarind) scooped up with microwaved poppadoms, followed by clean out the cupboard veggie soup. One of my favourite ways to make a flavourful veggie soup when you don't have stock is to throw in a good dollop of pesto into each bowl. This one was dried peas, dried mung beans, carrot, a mushroom stock cube, caramelized onion (which I keep in the freezer) and leftover pesto we had in the freezer.

    We ate at Nobu last week because hubby was so grateful that I filed his income tax return a couple of months ago he offered to take to any expensive restaurant of my choosing. It took me a while to choose Nobu. Tonight I tried to imitate a signature salad flavoured with truffle oil, dry miso, deep fried shallots and parmesan. Second course was pork cappelletti and vodka sauce, both pulled out of the freezer.

    Cheese soufflee and the homemade Nobu-style salad but I forgot to add the fried scallion. It was missing a crunchy element. I also tried a recipe for a Nobu-style roast cauliflower marinade in miso/mirin/yuzu but hubby thought it was horrible, mostly because he likes cauliflower boiled to a mush and smothered in cheese sauce, I think.

    I added this recipe to my fit pal because I make it often. Vegan Kielbasa with Farro and Apples 😃I put fermented sauerkraut in it which adds a nice healthy crunch!

Main of Txuleton steak, roast potatoes and air fried Turkish peppers. Sauces were seaweed and stilton butters, and Peruvian aji verdi. Dessert was low fat burnt basque cheesecake.

    One of our visitors from Amsterdam is a bit of a foodie so we have been touring the great cheap eats close to East London. Friday night we went to the iconic, and rowdy Punjabi restaurant Tayyabs where a copious dinner for four came to £91 including tip.

    On Sunday morning we had dim sum for brunch in Chinatown. Lunch for 3 including tip was £77.

    After brunch, dessert was a relative splurge at £17 for 3 because the Amsterdam foodie wanted to find a Japanese bakery for fresh mochi. This was a revelation for me, having only previously eaten the factory made stuff which is a totally different texture.
