During these times of isolation, it’s the prefect excuse to revise and improve on recipes and techniques... it’s been *quite* some time since I’ve been able to do this... 😅 A few things have been lingering in the fridge, so here is also a prefect excuse to up-cycle food into something (arguably) better than what it was initially prepared for... Today being #JambonDay I spent the day laminating dough and saucing up various leftovers, shaping and stocking the freezer... Jambons are simple to make, such a treat to eat and for me, such a relaxing and fun thing to prepare from start to finish... Today, 3 versions were made; Classic Ham and Cheese Chicken and Mushroom Cheese and Onion The freezer is stocked, bellies are full and I’m looking forward to the next project!!! 😁😁😁 #Jambon #Pastry #Lamination #LaminatedDough #StockedUp #BatchCooking #Leftovers #UpcycledFood #Classic #HamAndCheese #ChickenAndMushroom #VolAuVent #CheeseAndOnion #AlsoAClassic #SaySo #SupaLonely #Jamboner #CoronAppetit #Food #FoodPorn #FoodPics #FoodPicsBroh #FoodPicsBruh #FoodPicsBrah #InstaFood #FoodGram #Nom #NomNomNom #BoneAppleTeeth https://www.instagram.com/p/B944c8wnn5j/?igshid=nj9mwcq7baog

Dark chocolate is added adding bitterness as well as the signature black colour... #BlackButler inspired dish Inspired by @susanjanekitchen to make this into a batch cook... The freezer is loaded with buns, ready to be steamed, baked or coated and fried... Adapted @feastoffiction recipe Chicken was the protein of choice, with carrots, peas and potatoes to add different textures, bulking and also making this more of a meal... #Curry #Buns #CurryBun #Fried #FriedBun #FeastOfFiction #AnimeFood #Anime #ChocolateCurry #Balanced #BatchCooking #FullFreezer #StreetFoodAtHome #StreetFood #MyAnacondaDont #MyAnacondaDontWantNoneUnlessYouGotBunsHun #BunsHun #Food #FoodPorn #FoodPics #FoodPicsBroh #FoodPicsBruh #FoodPicsBrah #InstaFood #FoodGram #Nom #NomNomNom #BoneAppleTeeth https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzay8LvC9H7/?igshid=1omcwjxefuius

Cheese, Onion and Herb Ravioli, with Mixed Tomato Ragout All was made from old and dry store ingredients Super cheap, super easy, super delicious, super 👌🏻 Sweet stale bread and eggs act as a solid medium for dried chives, roasted onion and (the only bougie ingredient because it cost about €0.40 for the amount actually used) smoked raclette... This was then paired with handmade mixed herb pasta, followed by being carefully hand rolled and shaped to become ravioli... Shallots were sautéed with garlic and mixed dry herbs... Different varieties of tomatoes were chopped and was added to the shallots, then deglazed with remnants of a cheap bottle of wine... The tomatoes were then allowed to breakdown and the sauce reduce... The sauce, purposefully, was left slightly acidic and was adjusted with basic seasoning. It’s acidity was to compliment the sweet ravioli filling... It did that and more!!! Metric tonnes of flavour, very favourable on the old wallet... #Ravioli #Cheese #Tomato #Herbs #Ragout #Handmade #MealPlan #Pasta #Raclette #Bougie #LetThemEatRavioli #JaiFaim #HungryBoi #ThisOneTimeIStudiedInParis #StudentDinner #RavioliRavioliGiveMeTheFormuoli #SurprisinglyCheap #IMissMyKitchens #NaffWallpaper #Food #FoodPorn #FoodPics #FoodPicsBroh #FoodPicsBruh #FoodPicsBrah #InstaFood #FoodGram #Nom #NomNomNom #BoneAppleTeeth (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3s9VdH6C2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lcc35211rikd

In House Made Kimchi Pancakes, with Scallion and Garlic Scrambled Eggs, Toasted Sesame and Sriracha For aaaaages I’ve wanted to make my own Kimchi, after researching a number of methods and countless numbers variations I’ve settled on this recipe... The Kimchi itself, I feel is slightly over salted, so thought using it in the pancake mix would be a perfect way in diluting the salt levels... I was not wrong!!! Adding in charred scallion and onion to the mix added the bitter and sweet elements needed to , balance the saltiness, sharpness, spiciness and the tang associated with kimchi... The creaminess and fat from the softly scrambled eggs adds a velvety feel to the crisp and soft texture of the pancakes adding a pleasant contrast to the dish... Not gunna lie, I’m pretty happy with this... Feeling right for the day after inhaling this bad boi!!! 🐷🐷🐷 #Kimchi #Pancakes #KimchiPancakes #Homemade #Handmade #Fermentation #HomeFermentation #Preservation #Eggs #ScrambledEggs #SriRacha #Breakfast #BreakfastOfChampions #SoulFood #SeoulFood #DidYaSeeWhatIDidThere #IllGetMyCoat #HowDoYouLikeYourEggsInTheMorning #Cultured #Food #FoodPorn #FoodPics #FoodPicsBroh #FoodPicsBruh #FoodPicsBrah #InstaFood #FoodGram #Nom #NomNomNom #BoneAppleTeeth

Kouign Amann Laminated Dough, fortified with butter and sugar, pretty much a more dense Croissant with caramelised exterior... Paired with a sweet El Salvador filter coffee from @3fecoffee, hints of Brown Sugar, Nectarine, Rose Hip and Syrup...

There wasn’t enough room on the mug to say that stuff about the coffee, 🤷🏼‍♀️ Adapted Kouign Amann recipe from @dominiqueansel and @chefsteps #KouignAmann #Pastry #Coffee #BakingProjects #Lamination #LazyFriday #Breakfast #DatDoughDoe #Crunch #CrunchLeCrunch #Coffee #FilterCoffee #Filter #HeavyBreathing #ImDeadSophisticated #IAteThree #DominiqueAnsel #Chefsteps #3fe #Food #FoodPorn #FoodPics #FoodPicsBroh #FoodPicsBruh #FoodPicsBrah #InstaFood #FoodGram #Nom #NomNomNom #BoneAppleTeeth
