For afters, Brazilian pavê de limão. If you are thinking it looks a bit like tiramisu, you would be very very wrong. Apparently THE BRAZILIANS DID IT FIRST.

It's got condensed milk, whipped cream and lime juice in it as well as biscuits. A deconstructed cheesecake!

A dollop of cream and biscuits, with a grated chocolate and lime peel topping. A glass bowl containing a white cream dessert (the biscuit layers are not visible) with grated chocolate and lime peel sprinkled on top.

So! Brazilian estrogonofe de carne. If you are thinking it looks and sounds like stroganoff, you would be correct. It's got tomatoes in, and I think it's more usually made with chicken. I also bottled the french fries (yes, fries AND rice. Apparently).

Simply lovely. #f1 #braziliangp #foodsky
A pile of white rice with strips of beef and mushrooms in a tomato and cream sauce. It's quite orange.

Food for the #F1 #MexicanGP is what your food magazines call 'Mexican-style' and I call 'Anglo-Mexican fusion.

To whit: chilli, guacamole and sweet corn soup.

A square bowl with bright yellow soup topped with a few tortilla chips. A bowl of five and chilli with a big dollop of sour cream on top, green guacamole and tortilla chips on the side.

Just getting my defence in early that it's been a trying week, so as a result I outsourced the food for the #f1 #USGP.

Normal service will be resumed next race.
Two fast food burgers and some french fries.

Had a go at laksa soup for the #SingaporeGP

I feel I managed to successfully balance the coconut milk with everything else in the broth.

Plus, all food is improved by aubergine and fried tofu. No, I don't know if that is authentic. Just that it is tasty.

A bowl of beige soup with half an egg, pieces of fried tofu, strips of aubergine and coriander floating in it.

Also, allegedly, you can make #Baku baklava out of a more home cooking friendly pastry than filo, so I did.

Also great.

#amcooking #foodsky #whatsfordinner #f1 #AzerbaijanGP
Baklava made with three layers of pastry and a filling of crushed walnuts and peanuts. It looks sticky because at the end you pour butter and honey all over it.

For the #f1 #AzerbaijanGP I made lavangi chicken, mainly because I am really bad at plov.

But it's a REVELATION is a stuffing made of onion, walnuts, prunes and breadcrumbs.

As is smearing pomegranate molasses under and over the skin.

Mmmmmm. Recommended. #foodsky #amcooking #baku
A plate of roast chicken, rice, aubergine and walnut and prune stuffing. A very red looking chicken because I smeared pomegranate molasses over it. Also, that's a slice of bread protecting the stuffing.

Also zuppa inglese. Which is very, very, VERY DEFINITELY Italian, has been for centuries, and if it was, once, possibly, inspired by someone's desire for English trifle, that was fleeting, and look, you can only make it with a special Italian liqueur unavailable outside the country... #F1 #ItalianGP
A cut glass bowl, with a layer of chocolate custard and vanilla custard with green, white and red / pink sprinkles. A helping of chocolate and vanilla custard, and somewhere in there are cookies soaked in cherry juice infused with cloves and other spices.

The #ItalianGP demands lasagna.
So lasagna it was. #F1 #amcooking

Got round to eating the summer pudding wot I made for the #BritishGP.

Astonishingly good as well as astoundingly easy to make.

Lightly stewed red berries ftw.

#f1 #food #foodsky #BritishFood
A slice of summer pudding - very red fruit surrounded by a crust of very red juice soaked bread. It sits in a pool of cream. On a plate, obvs. A bright pink brick shaped pudding, glistening faintly, served in a cut glass bowl because I did not consider that I don't have rectangular plates when I chose the mould.

Beer battered fish (plus chips) is surprisingly easy to make.

Quite British for the #BritishGP too.

#f1

(The summer pudding is for tomorrow. But I *made* it today, so that will count, right?)
A blue rimmed plate of battered fish, chunky chips and a dollop of red ketchup and white mayo on the side.

Sorry lads, I think the weather at Silverstone might be my fault.

I'm half way through making summer pudding.

Also made two not strudels. One with apple and raisins and one with apricots and almonds.

They are not strudels because of the pastry, apparently. But Austrian (also apparently) which is the point.

#f1 #austriangp #foodsky #amcooking
Two cream drenched strudel-esque pastry slices on a plate with a blue rim. You can see the raisins and apple, and apricots and almond fillings.

Gotta be a schnitzel for the #f1 #AustrianGP but those are no mere potatoes but erdäpfelsalat, a potato salad with a mustardy dressing.

Advantages of a late start to an #f1 race? I get the cooking challenge done in advance.

Butter tarts for the #CanadianGP!

Also french onion soup. I'd like to say it's in honour of #LeMans but actually I just didn't want to make wet chips, aka poutine.

#amcooking
A square bowl filled with brown soup that you can't see well as it is covered in grated cheese. It stands on a wooden chopping board with two slices of toast on the side. A plate with a blue rim with a pyramid of tarts. The filing is golden brown and dotted with raisins.

After the elaborate shenanigans of last week's #f1 food prep, I made gazpacho and chocolate mousse for the #SpanishGP, which required mere minutes and almost no actual cooking.
Gazpacho soup, slightly lumpy and very orange soup, served in a glass standing on a patterned cloth. A teacup painted with pink flowers with gold trimming, stands on a white table and contains dark brown chocolate mousse.

The pissaladiere monegasque* is ready.

Nice! A perfect balance of salty and slightly sweet.

#f1 #MonacoGP

*It's got tomatoes in it, not just onion, which is what makes it specific to the Principality. Apparently. Never fear! It is mostly onion.
A square of something that looks like pizza, but is topped with caramelised onion, anchovies and olives in a somewhat geometric pattern.

The only thing more complicated and slightly baffling than that race is me trying to make a strawberry mille feuille.

Gotta make an effort for Monaco baby, though, right?

By the way, if you thought I'd missed the #MiamiGP the answer is sort of, but not entirely.

Four slices of bread on a breadboard. Two are slathered in peanut butter (homemade) and two with bright red raspberry jam.

I've never made tiramisu before, but when it is the #ImolaGP it'd be rude not to.

Ditto for bolognese sauce with polenta.

Anyway! #F1 cooking cannot be completely ignored just because it is Easter (Happy Easter to all those...) so I give you coffee made with cardomon and a sort of version of masoob, a bread cream, dried fruit and banana mix. #SaudiArabianGP

Spent quite a lot of the #BahrainGP making Noor Murad's fega’ata, or upside down rice, a meat and non meat version. Worth it though! Must buy her book. #f1

Food in honour of the
#JapaneseGP has got to be ramen soup. Well, there's some stock in there somewhere, I promise. #F1

But that doesn't mean we can't eat. I give you hot and sour soup and something I am calling 'a stir fry'. #f1 #ChineseGP
A very brown looking broth soup in a bowl with a floral wallpaper background. Two bowls on a dark green background full of barely seen rice and stir fried vegetables. One is topped with stir fried pork pieces and the other with stir fried tofu pieces.

On the upside, I get to celebrate the international nature of the sport again through food. Or rather, the kids do. Last year I horrified them with marmite for breakfast ('It smells like cat food'), this year, fairy bread ('wut?'). #F1 #AusGP
2 slices of white bread covered in colourful sprinkles aka Australian fairy bread.
