#ApocalypseNowCookOffChallenge So @jonjoiee n I did this challenge to prove 2 things. U don't have to be rich to eat like a King n also u can make a relatively nutritional gourmet meal even if ur stuck in a bunker or shelter. Everything you see was made using only canned or non perishable ingredients. Including dessert! Bon appetit!! 👅🍾🍽🍷 #ChefShon + #ChefJJ 💁 #FrugalGourmet #homechefs #foodies Judges: @monimon3937 & @davewaithe From the left: Starters - Chick Pea/Black Bean Salad n Herbed Crackers w Seasoned EVOO Carrot Coriander Ginger Soup w Crab Spiced Sweet Corn Bisque w Crispy Ham Bits Mains - Just Add Water Crust Chicken Pot Pie Deconstructed Tuna Burger Desserts - Burbon Infused Winter Berry Mini Tarts topped w Toasted Coconut & Almond Crumble Cappuccino Infused Box Custard topped w Sugar Snow on a Chopped Pecan Mountain Pumpkin Spice Cake w Praline Sauce n toasted nuts

WEDNESDAY breakfast on my stoop. Rice porridge made from yesterday evening’s leftover rice cooked with milk, topped with chopped pecans and sweetened with cane syrup. (Sources: Cajun Country rice, milk from Progress Milk Barn, Bergeron shelled pecans, and Three Brothers Farm cane syrup). Re-imagining your leftovers into new meals is a great way to eat local on a budget. Rice can become rice pudding, or fried rice, or the base for a savory frittata. Jeff Smith, my very first cooking hero and author of the 1983 classic The Frugal Gourmet, says this. "The term frugal does not necessarily mean "cheap." It means that you use everything and are careful with your time as well as with your food products. Fresh foods, prepared with a bit of care and concern, Will result in terrific meals with lower costs." He also talks about the meaningful connections of cuisine to history and culture, and the concept that eating is a way of caring for and about people, and bringing them together. It's my goal to embrace all of these concepts during the two-week challenge.
