Lazy non-binary person dinner: open faced veggie sushi. Is my knife technique perfect? No, but it’s pretty good for a first try. #sushi #nonbinarydinner #girldinner #personalchef #jewapron #openfacesushi #openfacedsushi #veggiesushi

Same but an areal view instead of an angled one. The pink pickled ginger is at 1:00
My left hand is holding up a broken ring of cucumber that I had made from turning a cucumber section into a sheet of lasagna pasta for julienning. You keep going around the circumference of the cucumber in one long strip until you get to the seeds. It’s a little uneven but overall almost pretty uniform.

The best ice cream sandwich you will ever have, is between two #frenchmacarons . I did it last night. Oh, and that’s vanilla extract in with my French meringue and the filling in the image is blackberry. #personalchef #hamantaschen #purim #jewapron #kosheronabudget #frenchmacaron #macaron

French meringue and vanilla extract in the steel bowl of my stand mixer. There is a black plastic handled spatula with white silicon at 2:00 and the vanilla extract that splashed around the bowl is visible because I had t scraped down the sides yet

You’d think that something both #glutenfree and #dairyfree would be worse than the original, but this recipe is so yummy that even without the good stuff, they’re still better than a restaurant. And now I have enough to last me for two Shabbat dinners! #kosheronabudget #personalchef #celiac #crabrangoon #creamcheeserangoon #shabbatdinnerforone #jewapron #food #homemade

Not bad for my first and then second time. The picture of the plate of tamales is from the second batch that I put in to steam today. I filled them with more masa than the first batch. #tamalesdeelote #tamales #tamal #tamale #fromscratch #homemadetamales #personalchef #food #foodporn #parevetamales #kosheronabudget #jewapron

The hydrated masa is spread almost evenly onto a corn husk that was placed on my dark gray and purple cutting board
10 fat tamales tied with a bit of corn husk, in a charcoal bowl that kind of looks like a plate.

The house smells so freaking good from this chicken & potato dish. I can make it using only one dish. #food #chickenandpotatoes #bakedchicken #shabbatdinnerforone #personalchef

I had the turnip greens with blackberry-soy glazed chicken meatballs and mashed potatoes. The black cardamom is for smokiness. There’s a whole head of garlic in here as well as the juice & zest of two lemons, 5 bay leaves, cayenne, and 22 hour slow cooked chicken stock. $5 to buy, 45 minutes to clean, three hours to stew, gone in mere minutes. #greens #turnipgreens #foodporn #personalchef

Three bunches of cleaned and trimmed turnip greens overflowing twice as tall as the black wok they’re in
Stewed turnip greens, now cooked down to only one quart

Day one of #demiglace made from the leftover 62c/lb turkey’s back, neck, and wings, and some $1.39/lb beef feet. I’m making a $60 sauce for about $7. It’ll take three days, but I can do it! The only burgundy I could find on sale was a Bordeaux but I can do it! #personalchef
