Dinner tonight at #chezfrantzman; recipe to follow

We got a little carried away today on the veggies at #chezfrantzman…

We chopped up carrot, zucchini, broccoli, sweet potato and added whole mushrooms for some tempura. We coated it and fried in batches in hot vegetable-sesame oil.

Then we also took radish, cucumber, carrot and seaweed and sprinkled black sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce and dash of salt for a salad; snd then made a cucumber salad with black sesame seeds, rice vinegar; and we steamed some mushrooms, carrot and broccoli and

quick fried with sesame oil and soy sauce…served with some tamari-ginger sauce…it was fun.

My basic philosophy behind food is not only I like to use basic ingredients to make recipes I like from restaurants while improving my process and skills; but I want to be able to get up in the morning and imagine a meal and make it happen.

I got tired of going out to eat snd having flavorless food, gross food with too much oil that sat around probably for days or was reheated or lacks any real feeling.

I said Im going to make all those things at home. I’ll buy good ingredients and lots of things to serve snd cook with, and learn something new everyday and improve bit by bit.
