    First meal of the day. 3 eggs, prosciutto salami, creamy Havarti cheese, sauteed green peppers and mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, cracked black pepper, pink salt, sweet paprika and few drops of Sriracha. Little bit of avocado oil and butter for the pan. With a couple scoops of protein powder and cashew milk to boost up my protein.

    'Cooked' might be to exaggerate since I had beef tarte (that's raw) and cold-served potato gratin, haha. But it was great never-the-less! :smile:

    I grilled corn on the cob for the first time last night and it turned out great!

    I just picked up a celeriac, I figured this thread might be the best place to ask what are people's favourite way of eating it?

    oven fries!!! I like to use a curry powder on these instead of rosemary sometimes

    (UK based recipe below)

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Place a large roasting tin or baking tray in the oven to heat up. Place the celeriac into chunky chips into a large bowl, drizzle with a little oil and stir to coat them. Season. Add the garlic and rosemary. Coat well.
    2. Carefully remove the warm dish from the oven and tumble the seasoned and oiled celeriac in. Shake the dish to even everything out. Pop into the oven and roast for 30-45 mins, till the celeriac is golden and crisp. Check a few times.

    You made beef tarte? where do you get your meat from?

    Ohh I do love roasted veggies and that sounds yumm!

    Linguine with clam sauce. Admittedly not my favorite thing, but my husband requested it, so...

    My local general shop!

    To start of with we have really strict rules here in Sweden about meat, and 99% of what you find in general stores can be eaten raw within moderation. It's recommended that you freeze it first though, so that's what I do. I buy minced beef, portion it out and freeze in packages. Then let them thaw in the refrigerator the night before making the beef tarte!

    I don't know what it's like elsewhere in the world, but I'd imagine that local butchers could have raw grade meat available or something? Not sure.

    Khoresh Morgh - I used 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs and halved most of the ingredients. I also couldn't find barberries (but I could find the sour dried plums...) which probably wasn't the end of the world. I ate it along with basmati rice instead of fries. I made it on Monday and will be eating a portion for leftovers tonight.

    Love the stuff! I cut my up into around 1 inch cubes, add in potatoes and carrots (also cut in 1 inch cubes). Toss them in some olive oil, put a little salt and pepper on top. In a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the root veggies are soft and browning. Done! Soooooo good!

    This is exactly what I ended up doing! Added some potatoes and carrots a bit of oil and some spices and into my actifry, was yummy!

    The most recent complete meal I cooked was lunch. It consisted of 150 grams American Waygu ground beef, browned, with 85 grams chopped broccoli, steamed.

    breakfast for dinner last night. Made biscuits and gravy for my husband who is the only one in the house who ruins his biscuits like that. I ate a bowl of fried potatoes, eggs, bacon, avocado, tomato. And a biscuit with jam.

    I'm not much of a cook so super, super simple. Roasted chicken thighs with a little Tsang's Classic Stir Fry sauce brushed on top. Steamed broccoli with homemade cheese sauce (heavy cream and fresh shredded sharp cheddar). Sorry no picture!

    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.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitterballen

    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.

    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.
