I got Babish's "Eat what you watch" book for my birthday yesterday.

I got that for Christmas. It's great. Can't wait to make the fish tacos, even if I've never seen the film they're from.

On the subject of YouTube food:



That was so satisfying to watch.

That was actually really interesting. Nearly turned it off due to the repeated Americanism of tom-ey-to... but stuck with it and I’m glad I did.

Been cooking a lot of spaghetti bolognese lately using a lot of tomato puree, so that was interesting to watch

I'm not sure if I've posted this up here before I think all of you should try the stewed onions from this video.



I haven't bothered making a butter burger yet but the onions are fantastic. They're great in omelettes as well.


FAO all the onions haters: strawberry float off and die in a ditch you banana splits.

I think that covers everything.

That burger looked great until he ruined it with a metric fucktonne of butter.

Because it's so hot outside, I thought eating cool oats would be better than having blisteringly hot ones. So I decided to make overnight oats for the first time and... wow.

I went for 1 cup oats (rolled, obviously), Stevia, cinnamon, apple slices and drenched the whole lot in unsweetened almond milk. I then stuck 'em in the fridge and left 'em overnight.

I just had them for breakfast and they were seriously the best oats ever. They were super soft thanks to the prolonged soaking in almond milk, but the apples still had their bite and so I wasn't just eating a big bowl of mush. I think this is how I'll be having oats until it gets cold again.

I've been trying various vegan and vegetarian foods this past month and I've been really impressed with pretty much all of it. There's this new brand called Naturli that makes faux beef mince/burgers and they're really delicious. The burgers even 'bleed out' as a bit of a novelty. I spotted them next to the beef in Sainsbury's, which I thought was very unusual placement for a vegan product, so I decided what the hell and bought it. So glad I did. I can honestly say I didn't miss the fact it wasn't genuine meat whatsoever, it was that tasty.

I tried Higgidy Porcini Mushroom & Spinach Pie; & Spinach, Feta & Roasted Pepper Quiche alongside a salad, jacket potato or Sainsbury's Butternut Squash & Spinach Croquettes as well and that was excellent too.

I'm not saying I'm turning vegetarian or anything, but I've certainly not missed swapping out the meat a few times a week.
