I've just cooked cheesy-breadcrumbed Basa, with sweet potatoes and oven-roasted Mediterranean vegetables. (It's a Gousto recipe I had ages ago) Gorgeous.

Home made beetroot falafel burger topped with goat’s cheese, salad and boiled Charlotte potatoes. The leftover potatoes will be used in a salad tomorrow.

Leftover broccoli cheese from yesterday, a bit of bacon, and some grated beetroot that didn't go into the red velvet cake I made at the weekend.

Chicken and ham pie and wedges ( changed my mind from chicken salad during damp doggy walking)

Norah Wed 26-Jul-23 12:53:46

Sweet potato peanut curry, rice, bread, spinach green salad, and leftover summer pudding (always delicious).

In UK, but I get recipes all over the internet and out of holiday memento cookbooks. I receive the NY Times on-line and love their recipes. Yotam Ottolenghi cookbooks are my current favourites.

I use cups (TKMaxx) for American recipes.

Cilantro is what we call Coriander in the UK.

Kosher salt? Never have worked that out, I use sea salt.

Thank you Jaxjacky -are you in the US then Norah ? Or an American living in this country?
Just asking.

Jaxjacky Tue 25-Jul-23 18:56:22

Cilantro is Coriander, Americans call it Cilantro.

Not dinner, already sorted. However I made delicious Corn Cheese Salad for GC at lunch, great use to part of huge quantities of cherry tomatoes.

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 1 medium lime)
1 Tbsp. mayonnaise (I made aquafabba)
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
750 g. frozen corn yellow corn
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
85 g. Grated Parmesan cheese, divided (I omit)

Whisk together oil, lime juice, mayonnaise, and salt. Grill corn kernels in a dry skillet until some are darkened. Add to dressing in bowl. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese. Toss to coat, garnish with remaining cheese.

What is Cilantro please * Norah* ?
Are your recipes principally from the US - I note the “kosher salt, “skillet” “ cup” measures.

Had a lovely pub lunch - sea bass and scallop risotto so no cooking tonight just cheese and fruit.

Been out so we may have a fish finger sandwich.😃

It's a bit miserable here so a fritatta of bacon, onions, pepper, new potatoes and cheese - with salad.

Norah Tue 25-Jul-23 13:30:09

Peppers are magnificent currently - so, Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. Avocado grapefruit salad, bread and IDK dessert yet.

Being a bit lazy today, I made Jambalaya for dinner yesterday, today it's M&S Chicken Kiev, but I am at least roasting some potatoes to accompany it, plus broccoli and carrots.
