| Tiramisu |
This is the most unnecessarily complicated recipe I've ever made. Good, but too sweet.

| Nori |
Didn't think dried seaweed could be so pretty, huh?
 |
| Chai |
I try to customize my own blends by adding more cardamom, crushed cinnamon sticks, and cloves. I also don't make mine too sweet, but it's a matter of preference.

| Tabla Egg Yolk Raviolo |
The yolk oozes out making a pleasing sauce with the ricotta/swiss chard filling. I served these atop brioche croutons, asparagus, and a variety of beets. I wouldn't recommend going to the thinnest setting on your pasta machine. I went to 8 (out of 9) and I thought it was actually too thin. Also, the duck egg in the bottom right was an epic failure. Apparently they have too much moisture to be contained. Working on it.

| La Grande Orange's Brussels Sprout salad with mustard vinagrette |
Okay, this isn't the finished product - I ate it too fast to remember photos. Seriously, best salad I've had in a long time. I added some mint to mine and it was a perfect counterpoint to the braised lamb I served with it.

| MORE PRAWNS! |
The day after Tom got food poisoning from an errant prawn I made reservations to the best paella place in town. He was mighty excited about the prospect of MORE prawns.

| Fresh Fish [Bouqeria Market] |
Still stiff with rigor.
