    OK. The breakfast of kings. Admittedly likely to be a fat king before too long.

    Slice of wholemeal toast
    Smashed avo
    3-4 rashers of smoked streaky bacon fried gently in a little olive oil and butter with a large pinch of muscavado sugar until it caramelizes
    Lightly fried egg.

    Arrange in that order bottom up. Then eat.

    We do that most Sundays but with a poached egg. I leave out the Avo as not a fav with warm food unless in a chicken burger which I wouldn't buy on purpose. So basically I have bacon and eggs and the misses has your version

    You do the bacon with the sugar?

    You English have such a sweet tooth eh!

    Actually saw Ramsey doing that in a video about American breakfast. I highly doubt I'd like it but missus might so will give it a go. I have to make her smashed avo every other weekend.

    Doesn't like guacamole though. Go figure.

    I got the recipe from Ramsey and adapted it to something with less potatoes. That Seppo breakfast he did looked great and also an advert for angina.

    It’s probably the only time I’ve added sugar to anything other than the odd pudding in years. I really don’t have a sweet tooth.

    Thank fuck.

    Quality. Brave starting with cheese ... it's all downhill from there.

    At a mates for lunch yesterday 'for a curry'. Four curry, home made naan and beer later, didn't eat dinner, probably skipping breakfast. But totally worth it.

    Also, saw a custard made with the steam wand from a coffee machine. Very impressive and simple, will definitely tackle it at home.

    Half a story harry!!! How was this custard made?? 🙂

    Love a curry!!! Probably my fav exotic cuisine. Maybe first equal with brilliant Chinese food

    Went to 'Hello Beastie' last night for dinner, Korean done well. Ire commend it. Best dish was Prawn and Crab toast like I've never had. Classic thick prawn toast with golden crunchy edges, with crab meat on top and thinly sliced Wagyu on top. It was incredible and I would go back just for that, despite everything else being amazing. It was like a flash harry surf and turf.

    All reasonably priced too considering the generous portions. When I paid, I raised my eyebrows as I assumed it would have been more.

    HELLO BEASTY

    HELLO BEASTY

    Hello Beasty is a New Zealand modern-fusion restaurant located in Viaduct Harbour, Auckland. Stuart Rogan and his team serve contemporary NZ cuisine with Japanese, Korean and some Chinese influences in a relaxed setting on Auckland's waterfront.

    Due to going back to the fish market this morning, I am cooking fresh sesame crusted pan fried tuna with mash and green beans. (Just the edges seared)

    It sounds like a horrid combo but I also serve with wasabi and soy and it slightly mixes with the mash as you eat and I promise it is a win.

    Proper egg custard, so just an egg, mixed with a bit of sugar and vanilla, and then cream/milk. Steamer heats it without overheating it, so it gets to classic egg custard consistency in about 90 seconds.

    Really easy small batch, no double boilers or faffing aroudn stirring, or waterbaths in oven. Simple, straightforward and easy to do. Will definitely try it and report back. Google is your friend if you want...

    Brekky this morning after a night out was BLATs but I use a tomato relish in lieu of sliced toms. Also a little mayo. Toasted dark rye, crispy bacon, fresh crunchy Romaine, relish, sliced avo and mayo. Mmm.

    Brekky yesterday was a one pan dish consisting of caramelised onion, small 'home fries', beans, sausage, a healthy amount of chiffonaded (is that a word??) spinach and four eggs cracked in on top. When the eggs are cooked the bottom gets a crunch on. Garnished with spring onion and a little hot sauce.

    Made some ewes milk yogurt the other day then turned it into labneh.
    Made a few separate dishes. The labneh with olive oil and za’atar. Some roasted cauliflower, chickpeas and carrots with sumac A feta and spinach ‘dip’. Some lamb loins, spiced and sliced.
    Then some quick hot flatbreads on the griddle plate.
    A side of harissa and it was a pretty yum meal.

    We try and do a night off the farm each month but with lockdown it was delayed.

    @canefan that duck looks incredible!!

    @Hooroo easy as mate. A little bit of prep to dry the skin a few hours before, then 90 minutes in the smoker

    I made a version of khichdi on Saturday. What a rewarding comfort food and easy as. Added some chicken thighs as a protein and some chilli for a bit of heat but it was still healthy as. Home made chappatis - (quite a) few APA's - bloody excellent
