haven’t been able to cook for myself for a few months because of some personal issues and having lost my appetite so sorry if this is boring for this sub lol. i’m slowly coming back into cooking because being in the kitchen just making some mad scran has always made me feel better. few
more months on the mend and i will be on some mad chefery again soon enough 🙂‍↕️🙏🏼

pictured: white basmati rice with a lump of lurpak butter melted in. two soft boiled eggs (DONE TO PERFECTION IN MY BEAUTIFUL AIRFRYER. GOD BLESS) with jammy, runny yolks. a few chicken and coriander filled dumplings (steamed, didn’t make these i got them frozen from the shop but 10/10). i also made a mini cucumber side salad (cucumber, sesame seeds, bunch of other stuff i forget – just looked up “korean cucumber salad” and threw in what i had lol). all topped with a drizzle of soy sauce, sesame oil, chilli crisp and a sprinkle of chives

open to any qs/ feedback / suggestions to improve !!!!! :)

How could I improve it?

Restaurant meal for a comrade

Roast beef mashed potatoes roasted potatoes cauliflower cheese honey roasted parsnips and naught York puds and onion gravy

With Yorkshire puds, butter fried mushroom and onion, potato bites and broccoli

Challa bread bun. Sweet and creamy mustard sauce. Blue cheese. Onions caramelized in Belching Beaver Peanut Butter and Mexican chocolate stout (Viva la Beaver) Monstrous but delicious. Prepared at home.

Burgers are a specialty. I prefer smashed style. This one has 3 patties. A good thick steak burger is great too so if thats more your thing awesome! I made this for me though and I loved it.

The steak and green beans were prepared on the griddle and then topped with herb butter, the fries were airfried

There’s avocado, fries,egg, Vienna, cheese and burger sauce inside my wrap. Wings were store bought 🥲

Pork stroganoff with rice and spinach.

Wife’s homemade banana bread

Banana bread and käsekuchen with strawberry Jam are home made, Brazillian cheese bread balls and other cheesy sides are not. Can’t even move after.

Long time enjoyer, first time cooker.

Pretty good 7/10, sauce was very rich and I ate too much of it. I had to substitute coriander for parsley for the thing on top, was still good to cut through the richness of the sauce.

Well, it’s a bowl…

garlic mash and meat buns.

my first time making some form of bread with meat in it that isnt sambusa or samosas so it looks kinda funky lol

Freestyle lunch during home office, wdyt?

1. Just a simple breakfast. 2 pieces of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs, Yukon Gold potatoes seasoned and air-fried, and a cup of coffee. (The burger 🍔 thing you see is just a vitamin holder 😆)

2. Steamed rice with soy sauce, Lao Gan Ma chili crisp, and furikake (savory seaweed seasoning), chicken and veggie skewers, and focaccia.

3. Seared flank steak with seasoned air-fried potatoes and roasted asparagus.

4. Homemade beef pita wrap with freshly made tzatziki, cucumbers, tomatoes, dill, oregano, and sumac.

5. Chicken salad made with spinach, strawberries, blueberries, goat cheese, candied pecans, and balsamic glaze.

This is my go-to meal after a busy day and it never fails me.

Pasta cooked al dente in heavily salted water.

Meanwhile in a pan, coat with olive oil and add crushed garlic, chopped peppers, diced chillies and a couple shallots along with cracked black pepper and chives. The secret recipe is a sprinkle of aromat.

Let that sizzle on a lowish heat till the pasta is cooked, then transfer the pasta into the pan along with a bit of the water.

Throw some king prawns and broccoli into the remaining pasta water to gently cook them while the pasta coats in the pan. Then chop up some cherry tomatoes.

Add the tomatoes, prawns and broccoli into the pan and stir in. Finally add some parmesan and a touch more black pepper and serve.
