What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

lunch: fish taco salad (just made it up on the spot- it was soooo good!)

Risotto--arborio rice, low fat cream, white wine, grated zucchini (romanesco), zucchini flowers, mushrooms, EVOO, black pepper, veg broth, and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

Leftover bagna cauda from last night as a starter. A kids meal for the main. Frozen breaded cod and frozen oven fries warmed up in the air fryer and some frozen peas using my mom's recipe of sauteeing with garlic, butter and salt . It was kind of busy at work today despite working from home.

Chickpea, Lentils and Spinach Tikka Masala with Brown rice and side of Cucumber Radish pickles!

White asparagus season. The classic germanic dinner to feature them. Poached white asparagus, prosciutto cotto, hollandaise sauce, boiled new potatoes. Some salad with ranch on theside.

My foolproof method with hollandaise is this. About 10 minutes before serving put on a small sauce pan of water to simmer. Find a relatively large bowl and adjust water level so that the bowl sits over, not in the water. You want a relatively large bowl because it will get hot and handling small bowls while wearing oven mits is a fiddly.

Separate an egg yolk, saving the white in the fridge or freezer for another use. Melt 50g butter with a half glass of white wine and a dash of green tabasco or green srirachi in the microwave. Don't let the butter mixture get too hot or it will sputter.

About 5 minutes before serving place the bowl of butter over the sauce pan. Whisk in the egg yolk and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens. If it gets too thick thin down with a splash of water or white wine off the heat. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a small serving dish.

A classic. Pasta fagioli (pasta w beans)
