The rumors are true, it IS really easy to make your own chili crisp and buckets of it at that #ChefJay

Took a bunch of stale croissants and leftover trail mix and made bread pudding #ChefJay

Oh there's that good cross section of the tiramisu #ChefJay
A cocoa dusted tiramisu in layered into a loaf pan
Hokay. Homemade tiramisu with lady fingers from scratch. It needs to hang in the fridge for a few hours.
Was not a challenging recipe overall, but marscapone is the expensive bit so now i wanna research if i can make my own mascarpone #ChefJay
A bunch of oddly shapes lady finger cookies fresh out of the oven
They are ugly but
A) is my first time
B) they're getting dipped in coffee and buried in marscapone anyway

Ha HA! Fixed my dough, first successful batch of tortilla! #ChefJay
Four summer squash fritters midfry
Free summer squash from the food bank = squash fritters for dinner (will probably eat with leftover raita) #ChefJay
A colorful plate with homemade flatbread, tomato, lettuce, raita, pepper rings, and homemade "gyro" meat made from ground beef
Faux gyros for dinner tonight. I take back every mean thing I've ever said a about myself #ChefJay
A huge bowl of noodle and beef soup with loads of greens and scallion
Did i have basil, jalapeno, bean sprouts or cilantro? No. Did i roast bones for hours for the soup? Definitely not.
Am i so full of soup that I'm sloshing when i walk? Sure am! And that's on making phô for dinner. #ChefJay
And if you just want food posts from me I have a feed for my culinary stuff too (which is why I tag things #ChefJay)

A pulled off piece of brioche bun showing a dense but fluffy crumb structure
A piece of brioche bun showing the dough lines on the inside where all of the gluten stretched in the same direction
Eating my homemade cinnamon bun under my SAD lamp and just look at that crumb #ChefJay
A swirled and sticky cinnamon bun on a blue and white plate
Had a pound of honey butter still from THANKSGIVING. Decided to use it up in a brioche dough and made cinnamon buns this morning.
It was so much butter I was certain it was just going to melt in the oven. 😅 #ChefJay
Two gallon bags full of dice onions sitting on a messy cutting board
Two gallon bags full of diced onions. I did have another bag of large onions but decided to use those up ad hoc 😭
These freeze beautifully and are easy to break apart so you can grab and go diced onion to cook with. #ChefJay
A bowl of cheery orange-yellow soup with langistino tails gently floated in it
Turned a butternut squash into a langostino bisque #ChefJay
A plate of homemade eggs benedict. It's not aesthetic but you can tell it will be delicious
A creamy hollandaise sauce flowing over a perfectly poached egg and onto fried ham and biscuit
A cross section of a perfectly poached egg with the runny yolk flowing over the plate in a bright, cheerful orange yellow
Eggs Benedict for breakfast
- homemade 3 ingredient quick biscuits
- fried leftover ham
- eggs poached in the microwave
- hollandaise from scratch

Second curry of the day: mushroom and tofu coconut curry with a little chana cake #ChefJay
Sausage that has been cooked flat and then rolled up like a scroll
Mis en plas for a gyro setup with yogurt, cucumber, dip tomatoes, red onion and flatbread
A completed gyro looking beautiful on the plate
Tried a kitchen hack for making kebab meat by rolling out and then rolling up sausage in parchment paper and it totally worked #ChefJay
A plate of roasted potatoes topped with cauliflower curry, yogurt, and dried mint
I made my own curry from scratch! Usually i use a pre-mixed powder but Manfried got me a spice advent calendar so i set myself a challenge to use whatever surprise spice in dinner. Today was coriander seeds! So i made my own masala and put it over cauliflower and roast potato 😍 #ChefJay
A white plate with heart shaped sugar cubes on it
Apparently you can just.... Make sugar cubes if you feel like it?? I did add a little vanilla seed #ChefJay
A griddle full of naan getting some nice color on it

Half of an apple crushed into a pancake
A juicer with a cheese cloth draped on it
About a cup of apple juice freshly pressed
Adventures in juicing! Had a couple wrinkly apples so I froze them, thawed them, split them and juiced them! The desire to do this to a lot of apples and make hard cider is looming
Next time I should core the apples and turn the flesh into freeze dried apple bites or apple leather #ChefJay
A fried bun topped with toasted sugar and sesame
The interior of the bun all puffed out and steamed from the butter
Today's journey in fried dough! I know I said I was gonna do savory but it's breakfast I want sweets.
Added butter AND sugar to the interior and sesame to the exterior and I think we got 'em. The interior got a nice cave from the butter steaming out and gosh the sesame is a nice flavor #ChefJay
A chickpea and veggie salad in a colorful bowl
Friendo @mg4h.bsky.social gifted me a meal kit from a mystery farm box she got and I don't think I even looked at the directions until I was halfway through 😂
Also it did not come with tofu, tomato, basil, or green onion, I just thought they'd be nice (I was correct) #ChefJay
A quickbread cheese bun that's been baked in a ceramic cup
A quickbread cheese bun that's been baked in a ceramic cup, with a scoop removed so you can see it studded with flax
Took the leftover cinnamon sugar cheese filling and added flax and baking powder to make a sort of English pudding in the oven. Glazed it with a honey syrup, it's actually quite nice! Having it with a second cup of coffee. #ChefJay
A ball of fried dough that's been rolled in toasted sugar
The ball of fried dough cut open to reveal a fluffy crumb and a dense layer of cinnamon sugar cream cheese filling
This morning's fried dough experiment is stuffed with cinnamon sugar cream cheese filling.
I should have added even more sugar and less binder to the filling so it would be ooey gooey but I'm not mad either.
Tomorrow I think I'm going to try a savory option #ChefJay
A large cambro full of fermenting happily bubbling bread dough in the process of getting fed fresh flour
I might have just decided to keep a large cambro of bread dough alive on the counter this week. Homegirl takes up a lot of space but her and I are learning together how to take up space and breathe. #ChefJay
