what's cookin' good lookin'

[From top to bottom: bloody mary mussels, caprese salad, seared tuna salad, lobster tail linguine, baked sea bass stuffed with lemon and parsley, kim chi udon, oxtail stew with taglietelle, open face sandwiches (smørrebrød)]

I may not have this jaunty chef hat YET to prove it but in our house I'm the designated cook, and gladly so. We often suffer from a wicked case of the munchies so I rarely remember to take proper photos before we've inhaled it all. But here it is, the (little) evidence of my cooking pursuits. My recipe inspiration and noob methods vary and a lot of the time I'm forced to improvise due to a lack of equipment. I once made carrot cake by using a tea strainer as a sieve to sift 2 cups of flour. No joke, that step alone took at least 30 minutes and I thought it was pretty damn genius at the time. Such is the life of the minimalist (or cheap/poor). Don't forget to follow me on instagram (shalai) for more photos of #shaskitchen.
