Beef lok lak is how Cambodian parents get kids to eat vegetables. dhttps://www.dinewiththelocals.com/cambodian-beef-lok-lak-authentic-recipe/

I cooked Thai in anticipation for a vacation next month. The beef with black pepper was a good discovery for the hubby as all the heat comes from pepper and the recipes I've seen contain no chilli's. Something for the list of dishes hubby can safely order. Pomelo salad and brown rice.

Fill your own tacos. Leftover chilli con carne and aji verde, some store bought relish because we didn't have pickles, sriracha not pictured. On the side chopped salad, leftover stuffing from Christmas we had in the freezer. I made a batch of corn tortillas last month and parked them in the freezer. Tacos are a useful way…

Another day of starting dinner late because of work pressures. Cheat's Singaporean chicken rice is an effortless meal, especially if you keep a jar of ginger and garlic pesto in the fridge. Use a rice cooker but measure out chicken stock instead of water. Place some chicken pieces on top of the rice. About 10 minutes…

If want to eat cheap and gluten free just eat like an Indian or Chinese peasant.

I got home from the high pressure job at 20:30. Dinner took 5 minutes to put together because hubby reheated the dak dori tang from the freezer and put on the rice when I called as I was leaving the office. The courgette banshan could be made in the few minutes that the stew warmed up.

Dim sum in Chinatown with the girls.

Chicken with black bean sauce, and some braised bak choi with rice. Chinese recipes really stretch meat. A single chicken breast was ample for two when stir fried with a red onion and some green pepper.

Hubby was worried that my planned meal of pork ravioli (made last month using gyoza wrappers and frozen) with sauteed spinach would be too little food. If he gets peckish after dinner, a snack too close to bedtime upsets his sensitive stomach. I added some storebought dim sum from the deep freeze section of the Asian…

As it was a holiday I cooked something a little labour intensive. Cantonese stuffed peppers with black bean sauce which were not entirely successful. Keeping the prawn mince in those rather flat Turkish green peppers was a challenge. Lessons learned for next time are to use bell peppers and a non stick pan. Siide of…

When i was growing up my mom used to make something like this. https://www.marystestkitchen.com/movie-snacks-crunchy-spicy-lentils-vegan-recipe-a-bit-about-cowspiracy/

It took 25 minutes to put this meal together. I made the KFC 11 herb and spice mixlast night from the Chicago Tribune recipe and marinated drumsticks overnight in yoghurt. Today I coated the chicken in the KFC mixture and air fried for a total of 25 minutes. I also parboiled potatoes for 3 minutes, tossed with leftover…

Christmas leftovers are gone, except some stuffing in the freezer. Tonight's meal was rice and chilli con carne pulled out of the freezer with some of the aji verde I made yesterday and green salad.

What are people doing with Christmas leftovers? With leftover roast goose we had one night of goose ramen and another of goose tacos. Leftover roast brussel sprouts went into the ramen and leftover braised red cabbage went into the tacos. The part that stumps me is the leftover stuffing in the freezer.

Christmas leftovers meal number 2: Goose tacos balanced with leftover braised red cabbage, leftover guacamole, and aji verde made tonight from scratch. Green sriracha added at the table. Green salad on the side with dressing made from leftover guac mixed with ranch.

Christmas leftovers meal number 1: goose ramen and green salad. The stock made from simmering the goose carcass was awesome. Controversially, I tossed a few leftover roast brussel sprouts into the ramen.

Friday we usually eat out. Somali cafe near the flat.

Beef jerky, bilthong, crispy roasted chickpeas. If you have access to a refrigerator crab sticks and hardboiled eggs. If you have access to cutlery, small tins of water packed tuna. Not low calorie but filling: nuts.

Christmas dinner main.

My Christmas hosting event was on Boxing Day when there is public transit in London. It was the dinner for Christmas orphans. We had a Chinese who is seeing her family during Chinese New Year in January, an Australian who finds it too expensive to fly home at Christmas, and a Russian who has been served draft papers and…

Christmas dinner at my place is on Boxing Day as there is no public transport on the 25th in London. Consequently we ate simply tonight. Starter of Cantonese turnip cake and a store bought scallion pancake. Main of Singaporean chicken rice with cucumber salad.

To go with a rib roast, I would serve the seasonal veg I got recently at an excellent gastro pub to accompany the beef roast dinner. These were gravy, roast potatoes, yorkshire, charred cabbage, charred onion and cauliflower cheese. Other ideas would be sauteed green beans, and roast or sauteed button mushrooms.

I am doing a roast goose. I am hosting a dinner for London orphans on Boxing Day. Besides my husband and I we have an Australian, a Chinese girl and a Russian who are not going home. The Russian is afraid of getting drafted. I started on Sunday making an industrial quantity of chicken liver pate. I wanted 200g of chicken…

Left the office at 16:00 on Christmas Eve and did some of the Christmas cooking. Dinner was consequently very simple: the last of the pumpkin gnocchi and sausage ragu from the freezer with some air fryer roast courgette and daikon. I did the prep work for the Christmss goose (poking the skin all over so fat can escape…

The molding rings give a fancy pants impression with no extra effort, if you don't count extra dishes to wash. Here is a salmon tartare example. Layers were chopped beet mixed with a little pomegranate molasses, chopped avocado mixed with kewpie mayo, salted chopped salmon and onion. I think I served ponzu sauce with that.…

I bought some food rings originally for plating up salmon and tuna tartare but I have been making dutch herring salad with the rings too. One layer of chopped beet and apples, followed by egg and potato salad with mayo, and finally brined herring with chopped onion and pepper on top. A garnish of storebought relish to…

Has anyone else started cooking for Christmas? I started Sunday with an industrial quantity of chicken liver pate for a starter. I wanted to buy 200g of chicken livers but the butcher would only sell a minimum of 1 kg (which cost £4). The freezer is full of chicken liver pate. I also made focaccia for melba toast to serve…

We had some medium rare sous vide roast beef in the freezer so made tagliata di manzo with it. Not a stickler for authenticity because it should be made with rare steak. I also used manchego instead of parmesan. Served it with roast potatoes instead of a pasta primo.

Dak dori tang from last weekend's batch cook. Sauteed spinach and a vaguely SE asia salad with spiralized carrot and apple, and diced red cabbage. I tried to replicate the salad dressing from Long Chim that contained Thai chilli jam.

I wonder if a classic recipe for Welsh rarebit would take care of the oiliness problem of melting cheddar on toast. I have never made it but it involves making a sauce that contains beer, I think.
