<\/p>\n\ufffcWhether it’s because I am working from home and I am there for lunch, or because A. has a dinner outside,\ufffc or he is away on business trip, there are quite a few times when I eat alone. In these occasions \ufffcit is very rare that I don’t cook something for myself. I like the simple fact of preparing something just for me, something that I usually don’t cook because A. doesn’t like it.\ufffc This usually includes a lot of cheese, probably butter, and a lot of veggies, usually no meat no fish.\ufffc It is also a time when I can test some new recipes, some new combinations, or some new ingredients. Cooking for one person I missed admit it’s a little bit tricky, because most of the vegetables are too big for one in finding the proper sizing is quite of a challenge for me. So overall I like this challenge and I’m always happy to take it. So this week A. was away and I had a few\ufffc dinners and breakfasts to prepare for myself\ufffc. The first thing I did was to make myself muesli pancakes as A. doesn’t like them much, he prefers plain ones, and I do love them.<\/p>\n

But where I had the most fun was to make myself a cheesy stinky Parmigiano and olive oil mashed potatoes\ufffc… he wouldn’t have stand the smell, which actually was quite persistent and I had to air the apartment before it came back!!! The reason for such a bad smell was actually my attempt to make a parmigiano tuile\ufffc, which basically consists in grated Parmigiano grilled in the oven.\ufffc I thought it was fancy looking but in the end not only was it stinky but it was not really tasting good.\ufffc An experiment that I will never try again.\ufffc and because I don’t neglect myself, I serve my little pur\u00e9e with cabbage sprouts and pancetta . \ufffc<\/p>\n

And since recently I am in a quest of using properly spices, in particular Indian spices, as I received many from an Indian researcher in my lab, I tested a recipe that came to my mind after reading Vik’d book on Indian home cooking.\ufffc A simple plate of potatoes, tatsoi and tofu, spiced with turmeric, chili pepper, cumin and garam masala. I was quite happy with the result though spices dosage is something I need to work on! I guess it comes with time and experience!<\/p>\n
What do you like to cook just for yourself??? Are you rather lazy or fancy?<\/p>\n
