A German classic. Schupfnudeln. I had to make to make those today to fight my cravings

#ChemistsWhoCook

Yesterday I made the last of my black raspberries into jam. Except I cooked it too long (I should have followed my gut, not the description in the recipe) and it’s overset. Instead of jam I have an amazing black raspberry taffy. Such a delicious mistake
#ChemistsWhoCook

Our wild black raspberry bushes are producing a delicious abundance of fruit, so it’s time to pull out all my raspberry recipes. So far I’ve made a black raspberry pavlova and this vibrant ice cream

Victory! #ChemistsWhoCook

3) Baked salmon w/ roast zucchini (breadcrumb parmesan)
4) Fresh fruit

Kitchen research begins in earnest tomorrow. I’ll make more marshmallows and test a new sourdough recipe. My students have big plans and interesting chemistry planned. Feeling excited and anxious for Monday.

Today, I made a new artwork, a sculpture. It was a surprise, the crowd didn’t expect it. Phones came out and the crowd took pictures of my edible masterpiece. I felt proud. Then I sliced and served it. Twenty minutes later it was a beautifully delicious memory of when art and science collided. I have no regrets. #ProfLife #ChemistsWhoCook #KitchenChemistry #Pavlova

German instincts: if shops sell plums, must make plum cake.

Felt like a hearty stew today after some serious allergy related stomach issues during the day

Don’t know what to call this, S.O’s idea. Whole bone-in chicken slow-cooked in chunky salsa + Chile Padilla, Mulato + cilantro. That’s it. Tastes great, but feels like cheating. #chemistswhocook

Today, we had savoury potato and rosemary waffels 🧇 with bacon jam, sour cream and salad. The kids were delighted 👍

In preparation for #Euromar2023 we've made fresh, homemade battered cod and chips!

Char Siu turned out tasty, but the meat got too dry. Next time, I have to concentrate the marinate to a more sirupy constency, before putting it into the oven. Then I hopefully get that beautiful glaze on more quickly. Served it with rice and red cabbage. #chemistswhocook

Trying to make Char Siu for the first time. Marinated three chunks of pork shoulder now till Saturday morning. #chemistswhocook

Simple and delicious Cantonese poached chicken. Key is to make fresh ginger scallion oil and to also buy a chicken from a nearby farm that was running around yesterday. #ChemistsWhoCook #eatlocal

Had to make a dinosaur-themed cake earlier this week ... #ChemistsWhoCook
