Recipes are linked at the bottom and you can see my latest food creation at @mabmadefood. As usual, this menu only has lunches and dinners because we always eat the same breakfast.

This is a great fancy weekend meal because it is a nice and extra special dish but also it isn’t too involved. The only ingredient you might have to go out of your way to get is cognac. You can substitute in a white wine (or use both cognac and white wine) but that flavor really makes the sauce special since it’s such a simple dish. This can be easily doubled, made ahead, or frozen meaning decadence can be available at almost any time.

I recently made a cheesecake and then I made another and then, just for a good measure, I also made this cheesecake and this one was the winner by a clear mile. This cake is rich and creamy. The citrus seems to cut through a lot of the fatty flavors, I think this cake doesn’t need anything else added to it but you can top it with candied orange peel, dried mint, or more chocolate ganache if you want to really take it over the top.

Here’s my menu for this week. I usually make all or almost all of everything listed on a given menu though I tend to eat things out of order (sometimes you’re just not in the mood for something or you don’t want to cook a complex dish on the weekend like you thought you would). You can always see the food I actually made on Friday when I post my weekly lunch compilation on @mabmadefood.

This poppyseed bread roll is absolutely divine. The bread is soft and fully and the filling is nutty and just a little sweet making it very easy to eat and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. The dough is very easy to work with and though some of the filling oozed out when I rolled it up there was plenty to make a very lovely looking swirl inside with a nice soft crunch as contrasting texture.
