Refining my banana bread recipe before I upload it here soon! I also got a bit distracted and made a ricotta-banana toffee dutch baby 😅.

Ricotta/Yoghurt plays a big part in keeping the moisture in the banana bread! Also note to self - either buy a smaller loaf pan or double the recipe...

Went to Holbox today! Made me realize how far I am from where I want to be - in terms of culinary skills. 🙂

The uni is by far my favourite, it genuinely made me rethink how I should develop future recipes.

Here's some pan fried cod with roasted truffle-wasabi asparagus&edemame and soubise.

The truffle and wasabi combo worked really well. Fish could've been taken out earlier. Need to play with the ratio in the soubise a bit more.

Meal preps from the last 2 weeks!

Did some spaghetti, bagel sandos, beef wraps and some turkey rice bowls. All with a side of mandarins and some typa salad.

It has been about a 3 weeks since I properly meal prepping again (and working out). Down nearly 4lbs.

Adding more pics of just the flowers

Went to Mission San Juan Capistrano and took a sidetrip to Carlsbad to see the flowers in full bloom.

Took more shots with my phone - I'm thinking of getting a proper camera (maybe Fujifilm); Both for food and for micro and macro photography.

Fun day out in Joshua Tree Nat. Park

Didn't realize how fun it was to tinker with my phone's (Z Flip 5) "pro" camera settings. Change the white balance to a warmer tone, made it feel like shots from a movie. Might use it for some food shots...

Been working on a 6 course menu for the goodbye dinner party I'm hosting for a few friends and family members. Its the first time I'm doing a more fine-dining experience. Safe to say I'm very excited for the next chapter of my life. 😉

Aguachile!

I added in a shrimp head butter and oil mixture as a topping. It added another depth of flavor, although not traditional. I wanted to add apple to balance the acidity (alongside the cucumbers) but I forgot. Tastes amazing.

This weeks meal prep!

One of the meals consists of a Filipino peanut curry called Kare-Kare, with a side of white rice and a bit of cucumber. The other meal is steamed beef (inspired by moroccan cuisine) alongside hummus, veggies and pita.

Did some pictures with leftover soup. Added Pita and an Egg.

Also realized how good my Cast Iron seasoning is, didn't add a toucb of oil to the pan for the egg.

Meals for the week!

Moving soon (for Uni and for other things). Good habit to bring back.

Anyway, this is KatsuKare and Chicken Lentil Soup. Which will be my two meals each day for this week.

Some instant noodles (this was Pancit Canton; similar to Indomie - different flavors), two eggs, and pickled Jalapeños.

Was it unhealthy? Yes. Is it the weekend and you're currently not busy? Also Yes.

(I work out -now-, this was my cheat meal.)

Went out and got a drink at a speakeasy.

This is called a Queens Fashion, which is the bars play on the Old Fashion. Its nice and fruity but definitely not for everyone. Strong alcohol.

Right next to a nice noodle bar too.

Made dinner rolls too, not the best looking, but tastes amazing

Made burgers! One of the buns I baked the other I bought - just to try it out. I prefer mine, but bias 🤷‍♂️

I also tried out some frozen potato wedges thats new to our grocer nearby. It tastes great. Paired it with a Salami Jalapeño cheese dip.

Got distracted, accidentally used Potato Starch rather than Rice Flour and THEN forgot to add Baking Soda...

Cut it uo into slices and bamed them - now its brownie-ish like. Nice and Chewy but its not Banana Bread. Salvaged it somewhat.

A slightly burnt banana bread.

Added in some cashew butter, yoghurt and a mix of grana padano and parmesan into the batter. A great harmony of flavors.

If i were to choose any of the dishes into a business, its this one.

Pizza Fritta Margherita

Leftover pizza dough I fried up, some chicken thighs I fried. One being spicy and the other mild. Used a 70:30 rice flour and potato starch.

Fried dough is so much chewier and has a bit more fragrance.

Days not yet done and my siblings wanted more chicken parm

Blended up the breadcrumbs with parmesan and basil - gave a vibrant green color while also giving a hint of basil flavour.

Handful of mistakes, belly full of Pizza

Made some pies today alongside a hearty chicken parm panuozzo. Dough is great, lots of proper gluten development.

Also ran out of coal and fire during the cook 🥲. Still turned out great, just a bit uneven.
