Brought some new potatoes back from Sweden. One of those flavours that I've been missing from "home". I'm not sure if they eat new potatoes in Holland, certainly I've never seen them in the veg market in Leiden.
While in Sweden my mother also gave me my late grandmother's apron. Home sown of course. Love the colour & cute pattern.

These are the last fiddlehead ferns of the season - stir-fried with garlic, ginger, shrimp paste and chili paste (aka tobian jan).
I had something on my mind when I made this:
做好不久,蒂娜!
A colleague of mine raises free range poultry on his 5 acre ranch outside of San Diego, and when a fellow colleague visited and brought back two "fresh" chickens, I couldn't resist the offer to receive one of them.
Here you see the chicken ready to go into the oven. I stuffed the cavity with a half-head of garlic, 2 halves of a juice orange, half a head of sweet onion, parsley, and sage.
The skin was prepped by separating it from the flesh, and in the space I pasted the insides with some pieces of Parma ham and a herb butter made with saffron, parsley, and sage. The herb butter was also pasted onto the outer skin, and then covered with more Parma ham as you could see in this photo.
This procedure was to cripen the skin while keeping the flesh moist throughout the cooking, as well as give it a lot of flavor. As the Parma ham is so thin, it is expected to crisp up as the chicken roasts and provide added texture. The outside was was then lightly seasoned with coarse black pepper and sea salt before placing it into the oven, first on broil to get the carmalization started, then followed by a slow roasting at 425 degrees.
Also loose in the pan is the chicken heart and neck, another 2 halves of a juice orange, 3/4 of an onion, and half a bulb of garlic. This should all carmelize nicely, adding lots of flavor to the pan sauce.

This is my attempt to replicate almost identical dish I had at Casa Mono in NYC.
This version shows marginal improvement - I prefer texture of flash-cooked octopus over sous-vide on this plate. Still, advantage "Casa Mono" - they just do it better.
Simple and straightforward:
Toro, Lemon, Shiso, Daikon, Shichimi Togarashi, with a few twists - Pickled Cherries, Pickled Asian Pear.
