71-2318 – Moussaka with tofu topping

These are all the ingredients I put in our dinner last night (there are some out of sight too). It might seem like that’s a lot but it was faster to prepare it than it was to sketch it all. The dish has a layer of grilled eggplants (aubergine), a sauce of tomatoes, onions, carrots and zucchini and a topping made with tofu puréed with soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard, and almonds. We served it with garlic bread…yummy!

68-2245 – Tomorrow’s dinner

Here is a quick sketch I did while chatting with my friend @TheArtofBeingPresent today. I just fished a couple of things out of the fridge and put them on this little wooden board which we got free with a bottle of wine. I thought it was a chopping board but I gather it’s something to put cheese on?

68-2231 – The humble spud

How can a simple vegetable like the spud be turned into something as delicious as chips (or fries depending where you live)? We use the traditional method of deep frying in a pan of oil, but I know you can buy (safer things like) air-fryers and such like. These were left over from dinner last night…perfect for making a chip butty!

68-2226 – Sketch before cooking

Today I decided to sketch the ingredients for our dinner tonight – as you can see pretty simple. I made a sauce from puréed cauliflower and soya milk and we are having that with pasta. I misread the recipe though and it supposed to be a meal only for one…so I bulked it up with a bit of cheese to make it a cheese and cauliflower sauce.

66-2216 – Eggs

Here is a quick sketch I did today, while chatting to my friend @TheArtofBeingPresent. I was concentrating on getting the colour right but somehow it ended up a bit patchy instead of smooth like an egg.

67-2204 – Corn bread

This is what I cooked tonight, along with a bell pepper casserole. The corn bread was supposed to have actual sweet corn in it, but I must have forgot to buy some, so instead I put chickpeas in it…I think it still worked…kind of.

67-2196 – Scallops

This is my sketch for Day 4 of #Inktober2022 following (very, very roughly) the prompt of scallop. We didn’t eat scallops tonight (we had roast vegetables, and couscous with some salad)…but the dish has tiny weeny scallop shapes along the base!
