I took a chance on a #HedleyAndBennett mystery apron. Forty percent off, grab bag situation.

It's a classic style full size, a dusty sage green with undyed neckstrap and ties, two lower pockets and one up top center.

I expect to use it a lot.

Made some foccacia today
#food #foccacia #homecook

Baked from-scratch seitan "chicken breasts"; breaded with homemade pesto (featuring fresh basil from the garden), tossed with panko and parmesan, served with more fresh pesto on top, and a garden salad with heritage tomatoes from the garden tossed in a homemade apple cider vinaigrette.

Took a bit but making it was good for my soul.

Miso brown rice bowl. I sautéed carrot, mushrooms and bok choy, added some miso, mirren and gochujang, added a bag of 90 second microwave brown rice. A quick and tasty lunch. #food #cooking #homecook #quicklunch ##brownrice #miso

I’ve been on a grocery quest the last two weeks, to find RHUBARB! I’ve gone to 3 increasingly hipster grocery stores in search of this majestic ingredient. I was #hopeful since it is currently in season. Eventually, yesterday I found some. Rhubarb crumble and rhubarb syrup coming up. And maybe more rhubarb things! Send me your rhubarb recipe! #rhubarb #homecook #cooking #baking

My mealprep is mostly for work lunches as I tend to eat simpler things for dinner. A soup and a sandwich most nights, whatever leftovers are lurking in the fridge, instant noodles for comfort.

For meatless days:

(1) A yummy #fusion concoction of macaroni, charred orange capsicum and plant-based mince cooked w/ herbs, leftover passata (now I need to get some more).
(2) Crispy arancini made from leftover cauliflower and carrot risotto, My first time making arancini, cannot get over how perfectly round, crispy and yummy they were.
(3) Just a bunch of greens for throw-together salads all week.

For my omnivore lunches

Hainanese chicken rice with oven-roasted ginger-soy chicken with honey-butter glaze (unapologetically fancy).

If there are any leftovers I'll use them to make garlic fried rice.

For next weekend torn between vegetarian haggis + vegetarian meatloaf for meatless days. Stay tuned!

Carrot and Ginger soup from the American Test Kitchen Vegetarian Cookbook. I thought there was a LOT of ginger in the recipe as I was adding it, but it had a very gentle tang at the end. A dollop of sour cream and chopped chives finished it off nicely. Another good one. #atk #atkvegetarian #food #cooking #homecook #soup #carrotsoup

I had time to faff about today so that means an America’s Test Kitchen recipe. I have made potato and leek soup before (without following a recipe) and it resulted in something which tasted like a vegetable soup. Can the #atk do better? The answer is YES. The soup has a clear potato and leek flavor. Note: I did go off recipe at the end as I added some cream as I like a creamy soup! #americastestkitchen #vegetarian #americastestkitchenrecipe #food #cooking #soup #homecook

Ah, America’s Test Kitchen cooking. Everything I make from this book is phenomenal BUT the caveat is that the recipes take quadruple the time of any other version of the dish! Todays dish was a summer vegetable gratin that took over 2 hours…Yes it does taste amazing and I regret nothing. #cooking #food #vegetarian #AmericasTestKitchen #yum #squash #cheese #cook #HomeCook

Plate of yogurt, fennel, asparagus with chilli oil and ginger. Brightening up Mondays since 1980.
