Holidays mean Kitchen Duty

I'm in charge of kitchen duty these holidays and have been busy making dinner for the fam bam every night since this Monday.

It's been extremely fun and I've experimented around with my different cookbooks. They're not Matt Moran's cookbooks or Nigella Lawson's, but they're your simple Junior Masterchef Official Recipe Collection and your Woman's Day Main Meals recipes but nonetheless, the meals were fantasticals, like a rainbow on a rainy day.

Monday Night Dinner:

"One Pan Roast Chicken with Vegetables"

Defrosted some marylands, gathered my herb army consisting of General Rosemary in charge of the beautiful aroma of the finished dish, supported by Lieutenants Thyme and Parsley and private Garlic. 

Fresh vegetables included potatoes, onion and some carrots.

Not a big fan of carrots, following the recipe and drizzled honey and olive oil to the vegetables, the carrots turned out sweet and absolutely delicious that it suddenly became my favourite vegetable...for that night, anyway.

Yummy dinner and dear dad loved it too. Sweet! And I didn't have to wash the dishes. ;)

-I actually really recommend people to get it because it has fantastic recipes that are easy and simply delish.

Tuesday Night Dinner:

"Fish Parcels with Shallots"

Do not underestimate de la mer for it's not only a blue wonder, it's also home to delicious fishies that are fantastic for dinner. Jumping on the computer, I searched some recipes for a quick and easy fish dish and stumbled upon the said title.

I left the fish fillets to relax on one side while I prepared some shallots and ginger then hopped on the car to buy some sesame oil and threw in some white chocolate there for a later dessert and continued on.

"Fish are friends not food" my bum. Definitely going to be cooked again that's for sure, Mr. Bruce who never knew his father.

Wednesday Night Dinner: 

"Roast Chicken"

Chicken and roasted.

Kidding! Just grab yourself some everyday butter and rub it on the chicken to create that perfectly crispy skin and afterwards, season it with some salt and pepper. Be generous... the sea has an unlimited supply anway.
