Sheet pan kofta kebabs, these ones are chicken, are satisfying. Wrapped in some Persian flatbread and eaten with tzatziki,
A garlicky smoked paprika mayo, and an onion, parsley, mint and sumac salad, and roasted tomatoes. #chemistswhocook

I was more of a fan of this meal than my family. Made a Moroccan beef mince pie and some blistered green beans with lots of garlic. #chemistswhocook.

My daughter chose the pasta, fusilli gigante, and I paired it with a zesty marinara sauce, so lots of anchovies, garlic and a hint of chilli. #chemistswhocook.

Shrimp fried rice. Best reuse of rice is to make fried rice. #ChemistsWhoCook

At long last we are rolling out Digichem for the world to use. This has been an absolutely transformational program that now manages all of my group’s calculations, handles much of the analysis, and creates publication worthy figures. @ezc-group.bsky.social @standrewschem.bsky.social

Beef with broccoli and stir fried bok choi with lots of garlic. Both served over steamed rice and harking back to takeaway Chinese food. #chemistswhocook.

Great time in Karlsruhe for the core-to-core meeting and great to have some many of the group here as well. It is hugely enjoyable to enjoy a drink with friends in the afternoon. @jfchimie.bsky.social

Crepes on a weekday morning are doable, especially when you have the batter the night before. So enjoyable to have, and only about 15 min to get these together. Dinner tonight was a fam fav of chicken schnitzel, served with tender stem broccoli and rösti. #chemistswhocook.

Shana Tova. Happy Rosh Hashanah ! I made an apple cake fully of Bramley and Pink Lady apples. Served with some lemon mascarpone. Also made spanakopita because it is tasty. #chemistswhocook.

Using up bits and pieces in the fridge to make meatballs. If you make the mince in the morning then this meal comes together pretty quickly at night. Meatballs sautéed in olive oil first and finished off in a quick tomato sauce. #chemistswhocook.

A little like cheese fondue.

Had a hankering for mac and cheese. This one has mild cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan. I added some ground mustard, salt and pepper as well and all on a Béchamel base. #chemistswhocook.

Actually fish was purchased at a Tesco in Dundee. Nothing special. Was sea bass.

The rounds were braised in some butter where they browned first and chicken stock (I used commercial) and some salt. I flipped them part way through. I covered the sautéed pan with a top to accelerate cooking.

A Mediterranean feast. It included some calamari to start and pan seared sea bass with an anchovy caper and lemon sauce, braised leeks, boiled new potatoes with oregano and an arugula tomato and Parmesan salad. #chemistswhocook.

Spaghetti aglio e olio is such a satisfying dish. Olive oil, lots of thinly sliced garlic, a little chili flakes, some pasta water, parsley and a knob of butter. #chemistswhocook
