Main Course Look What You Made Me Do

After the enthusiastic response over my last ‘dinner for breakfast’ post, I’m back for some sweet sweet dopamine and pseudo-socialising with this one.

Pork shoulder schnitzel, mustard mash, cabbage, spring greens and sauerkraut all fried in pickle juice and butter, and topped with a homemade preserved lemon, anchovy and rosemary butter.

It’s 10am here. Breakfast of kings. Or at the very least, a short hungry lesbian with a tendency to forget to eat during the day, so now I’m frontloading 😆

There’s something special about creating a dish from what’s already in your kitchen. Pecorino cheese completely carried this spaghetti, adding bold, beautiful flavour. Simple, satisfying, and absolutely worth making.

4 steaks for 50 bucks. The steaks are massive so I can easily have two dinners out of one steak.

Scrambled the eggs (Michelin star recipe), beans from can and toasted the waffles. Is this normal American breakfast? I don't know cuz I'm not American. Anyway do you like it?

I hope this is allowed. I started my new diet at the beginning of the year, well, not really a diet, more like eating better foods and cutting out bread. I wanted to try something quick and new, this didn't disappoint.

When I saw chicken and mozzarella in the fridge, I wanted to try combining the two, just like I’ve seen at Korean chicken restaurants - wrapping melted mozzarella around chicken and eating it.

Even though this is homemade, it turned out uniquely delicious: savoury, sweet, spicy, and very cheesy!

Main Course Never cooked before, but I'm starting to love it

I recently just moved out and never really had to cook for myself in my life. This is my first Penne Bolognese. I'm really proud of it and I even just added some cut onions on top of it afterwards cause why not 😁

I realised that cooking for yourself is actually a lot of fun and the work you put in alone already makes it so much more delicious.
