Am cooking some pork loins and some pork chops and some potatoes but only the salad is ready so far.

We've still got a lot of party food in the freezer. I think we'll be having one meal a day from there until it's all gone.
 
In awe of those who can cook. I just chop and fry, then add sauce.
 
Leftover Indian from last night - Madras, bombay potato, chicken tikka, will just cook some more rice.
 
Trying to bulk/batch cook so we have healthier food in the freezer instead of ordering takeaway.

Have just made a sweet potato, chickpea and red lentil madras and it was just as nice as my lamb madras (which is HIGHLY REGARDED in the community)

10/10 will reheat soon
 
I just did roast chicken, green lentils, parsnip puree and cavalo nero with a red wine and blackberry jus

It was supposed to be roast pheasant but I fucked it up, thankfully I’d done a chicken for ron jr or we’d be hungry
 
Oddly as you mention it, we had roast pheasant today. I didn’t really like it, though Mr Sheena went to a lot of effort to do something nice. I’ve never had it before but it felt almost tough and was a bit too gamey for my tastes.

The veg and sides were top notch though.
 
I've never cooked partridge myself, mainly because I've been underwhelmed when I've eaten it in restaurants. I like the gameyness, but not the borderline toughness. I'm not sure if I've been unlucky when I've had it (which I think is only twice), or if that's just the way it is. But I'm not in a rush to have it again.

I'm very much here for lentils though. I need to do more with them.
 
I havent cooked it for years, hence why I cocked it up!

I am having a massive pulse and beans phase though, they’re a good way to make food feel comforting without being unhealthy
 
One of the chain restaurants (Prezzo, Zizzi or similar) did Tuscan sausages with lentils braised in red wine, which I've copied a couple of times, but haven't used lentils for anything else really, other than chucking them in with bacon for soup.
 
That sounds rather lovely. I did these in chicken stock with some really finely diced onion carrot and garlic and to be honest I’d happily eat a bowl of just that
 
Seeing as it's Chinese New Year and we have Chinese family, I thought I'd throw together a quick hoisin beef stir fry and it was the absolute tits.
