Bloody hate yam. Stupid stuff. Butternut squash however makes all soup awesome.

Havnt eaten since Friday. Too busy, too stressed. The transition when you get anew head chef SUCKS!

cant taste it in that recipe its only 1 . lol theyre good for you

Good for me. Ha! I couldn't give a rats ass about what's good for me I ate a few grapes last week when Kuroi was down, but that aside, it's probably been aobut 6 months since i ate some veg. I just can't understand the logic in spending my money on vegetables when i could be spending it on cured meats and cheese

For soup though, to hell with recipes, soup is all about creativity. To quote black books, my oven can cook bits of oven!

i didnt use a recipe? i just picked up things from the farmers market...

Forgive me. courtesy of being a chef, whenever i hear the word recipe, i think of a recipe, as in just copying someone else's directions because they don't know how to do it themselves. I've seen your food, as vegan as it might be, but you clearly know how to cook, and cook well, even if it is the food of heathens! I have a bit of a thing about soup "recipes". Recipes for adventurous soup maybe, but for soup soup, there should not be recipes, just guidelines on what makes a good soup. For me, if i have a butternut squash, or a packet of creamed coconut, then i can make anyyhing! Seems every chef has one ingredient they would never do without. My old head chef who i saw off to portugal today, his was garlic, my new head chef, his is citric acid. Mine is creamed coconut. Everything is better with coconut!

yeah i meant recipe loosely as inmy own recipe not a book or online version

Seafood Laksa for me...mmmmm..know what you mean about coconut! Twas the bomb

Sick as a pig but managed to get some pad thai down my throat.

tonight was asparagus, some yellow rice, and a cut of salmon with a maple/soy glaze. WHile preparing this I had my first tokes in a couple days, and while drinking some orange juice decided "I need to brush some OJ on this fish!"


So of course, I did it but once I put it in the oven and started packing another bowl, I realized...man I should have used a fresh orange so there isn't all that extra shit on the fish. But unfortunately the deed had been done and the fish was cooking at a couple hundred degrees so I decided to kick back and let it go. I drink an OJ thats advertised with the whole no this no that pure OJ whatever, I think thats the reason it didn't end up over powering the fish...that and the fact that I only used a really small amount because even as I was brushing it on I was thinking man this may ruin the meal hahaha


feel better soon tip top

Chorizo and tomato pasta salad.

I wanna see how this new pomtato tastes looks awesome.

Tried making a new desert and had to make sure it tasted ok Never made a cake in my life so was most pleased

Warm chocolate fondant cake with orange zest, served with toffee and baileys sauce with vanilla ice cream and a red berry and lime "jam". Still got to work on how best to present it, but tasted darned good All iv'e eaten today. Maybe i'll have a rack of ribs

looks good personally not a fan of powdered sugar "dust" but thats just me

Doesn't do much for me either. Not much else I can feasibly do. Only just about holding the kitchen together as it is.

i think it would look clean and great without it but thats just my opinion

sounds lush that tip top. if i were you i'd lose the jam, quenelle the ice cream and thicken the baileys sauce to a more treacle/toffee, zig zag over the plate and drag a fork through it to make patterns.

fondont cake looks a treat man. very good for a first cake.

tonight... beef tagine with pomegranate couscous

Beef n apricot tagine with pomegranate and mint cous cous

I must ask. Did you use an actual tagine? Just to be pedantic

I made up 15kg of lamb and feta burgers today only to be given a new menu without being consulted so they're in my fridge Only issue is that i have until tomorrow morning to eat them, else they have to be frozen for a while. Damned wisdom tooth out in the morning

I did!! Takes a bit of shelf management in the oven. Take one out n lower the other and it just fits.

So have you smashed a few burgers down and frozen the rest? Wisdom out can be easy or not. Hope you get the former man.

Grilled tonight. Steak with bacon and baby reds in sauce and some veggies.

salmon- marinated in lemon and pineapple juice, rubbed down with cayenne pepper and cinnamon
also a rice dish from a box and stringless snap peas...had no idea that was a thing lol didn't realize till I started eating them

also....just realized my last two posts in here were salmon..


I promise I'm not a bear or anything

ugh ok...im a bear
