When frying eggs, don’t turn them. Instead, add water to the pan and put on a lid to finish with steam.
Froached eggs! Not sure if it's a real term for it, but we call it froaching 🤷♂️.

There are different styles to making an omelet, but it seems the best way is low temp, plenty of pepper and a balanced amount of cheese.
Savoy cabbage, red lentil and coconut stew with yoghurt and... yes(!), coriander! 😁

Pointed cabbage stir-fry with bell peppers and feta cheese. It's winter here, it's snowing outside and it's frosty.
(Yes, I know how food photography works, but if I had made it look more appealing, the food would have gone cold. Some of the amazing food photos in cookbooks are so artificially appealing that you couldn't possibly eat them.)

I have found original British and German wartime Christmas and submarine crew recipes. What will be served at Christmas? Well, what do you think? I am extremely curious to find out what people looked forward to for weeks on end back then... one, or two. Plenty of butter and flour.👨🏽🍳
THIS has been popping up in my feeds on social media lately - I am definitely going to give it a try
Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake
This Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake is a game-changer: Warm, gooey chocolate cake (made from scratch!) nestled in a river of thick fudge sauce. Make this easy, luscious dessert right in your crockpot. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or both for an extra special treat.
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 8 servings
Calories321kcal
Ingredients
For the cake batter:
125 g all-purpose flour
150 g granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (see note 1)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
122 g milk
75.67 g butter melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the cake topping:
100 g granulated sugar
110 g brown sugar firmly packed
21.5 g cocoa powder
375 g hot water
For serving:
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Maraschino cherries optional
Instructions To make the cake batter:
Coat a slow cooker with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a second bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredient in to the well and whisk until smooth. Pour into the bottom of a slow cooker.
To make the topping:
Whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder until evenly combined. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the slow cooker.
Pour the hot water over the top of the batter and topping. Do not stir. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 5 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in to the middle of the cake comes out clean with a few crumbs attached.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, spooning the chocolate sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker over the top. Garnish with maraschino cherries if desired.
Notes
Cocoa powder: Look for the unsweetened baking cocoa powder, not the mix for making hot chocolate. Both natural and Dutch-process cocoa powder will work in this recipe.
Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of Lava Cake, enough for 6 servings, 1 cup each.
Storage: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

Weighing out 75.67g of butter could be tricky, but it's possible with a precise gun powder scale. 😁😉
Here is this our year's Christmas Eve dinner (we often have simple meals, as the roast is served on Christmas Day... and we also have a second Christmas day):

I know it looks as if someone has already eaten some of it, but if my fellow French gourmets want it and my family puts all their trust in my cooking skills? 😁😉

Tteokbokki – the street food favourite in Seoul. Today, I made it as a quick lunch for the family on Christmas Eve.

Looks yummy. Enjoy your Christmas Day. Hope it’s snowing.

Brightest sunshine and freezing!
Ok, as promised here comes my „submarine“ variation of the announced Hamburger Labskaus of today. Happy Christmas!

Anyone thrice cooked a roast?
Oven Baked Crispy Pata Recipe - Panlasang Pinoy
I'm going to do this method with all roasts from now on. It's amazing. And no, boiling the pork doesn't stop the skin from crisping up. We did the same with a pork shoulder the other day, same great result. There's no loss of flavour and there's minimal fat lost to the water - this can be seen as beneficial to some either way. Having been boiled, the meat doesn't dry out in the third stage allowing for the skin to crisp up nicely.
I suppose it's akin to placing water in the bottom of the dish while roasting, but this is a partial forced slow cook as of course water never goes above 100 degc during that stage
