"If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him...the people who give you their food give you their heart." - Cesar Chavez
โก๏ธ I recently had friends stay with us for a few days and we had the most fantastic time!
But on the last night I realised I hadnโt Cooked for them once and I felt sad. I guess because cooking for Others really does bring me joy. ๐ฅฐ
So a few Indian Curries later the laughter and sharing began.
Not surprisingly after hosting for 4 days I suddenly felt like I had done a great job. ๐ฅฐ๐

โLife expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.โ - Doug Larson ๐ฅ๐ฅฆ ๐ค Hows your life with vegetables going? Some people are just born into a vegetable loving lifestyle and others, like me, have to work hard at it! Im always searching for the most exotic and delicious ways of using all manner of plants in my cooking as often as I can. While it certainly makes for an interesting menu every week it definitely makes a difference in developing a greater love for all things plant based. ๐คฉ Iโm always astounded by the beauty of fresh produce and one day I hope to carry that message to my taste buds. Most importantly I will never stop trying! I wish all those who are vegetable averse the same hope for that delicious vegetable moment! ๐ค๐ผ โ FOLLOW ME for more food adventures!! ๐๐ผ @theaquariancook ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ซ๐ฅฎ๐ง๐ฅช๐ฅฆ๐ #gastronome #FoodQuote #foodforthought #quoteoftheday #foodthoughts #vegetables #bacon #warofthefoods #Food #KitchenIsMyPlayground #foodietip #TheAquarianCook #thehappyfoodie #GoldCoastFoodie #eatforpleasure #gayfoodie #gaycook #aussiefoodie #OnMyTableToday #EatWhatMakesYouHappy #HowToCook #FoodiesOfInstagram #AustralianFood #homecookedfood #FoodBlogIeats #FoodHeaven #FoodPhotography #FeedFeed #FoodAdventures #Yummy

โThe chief pleasure in eating does not consist in costly seasoning, or exquisite flavor, but in yourself.โ - Horace ๐ฎ๐น Born in 65BC Italy, this great man brought an epic standard to the Literature of the ancient world and still food was a favourite topic. ๐ค Can a plain boiled chicken wing bring you the same pleasure as one covered in all the spices and sauces of the greatest cuisines on the planet? Thats up to you, so Horace said. The joy is in you, not your food, and when you have the right mindset, the food will always bring you satisfaction! ๐ โญ๏ธ FOODIE TIP Struggling with what to cook?

๐ฎ๐ช โLaughter is brightest in the place where the food is.โ โ Irish Proverb ๐ค Why is it that food is always at the centre of the best moments in our lives? Is it because eating is such a personal experience that sharing becomes an intimate act? ๐ Are friendships and relationships built on sharing a table if not sharing a plate of food? ๐ฝโจ What I know to be true is that the deeper the level of sharing at the table, the closer you are to those around you, and the more positive the experiences are. ๐ Next time you share a meal or a snack or a dessert with anyone at all, take note of the level of sharing, and weigh it against your feelings for them in that moment. โฅ๏ธ LIKE and SHARE this post with someone you love to share food with! ๐ FOLLOW ME for more food adventures!! ๐๐ผ @theaquariancook ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ #sharingfoodislove #EatWell #InstaFood #FoodieGram #FoodBlogger #FoodBlog #gastrophilosopher #FoodQuote #FoodQuotes #mindfullness #quoteoftheday #gaycook #gayfood #theaquariancook #foodphilosophy #israel #Queenslandfoodie #aussiefoodie #australianfoodblogger #FoodBlogFeed #eatrealfood #feedfeed #cookforlife #forkyeah #foodnerd #foodgasm #instafood #kitchen #Irishproverb @foodyeating @thefeedfeed @food52

๐ฅ โProbably one of the most private things in the world is an egg before it is broken.โ - M.F.K. Fisher ๐ฑ๐ปโโ๏ธMary Fisher was an incredible woman who spent her life travelling and experiencing food from every imaginable perspective. She believed that eating well was just one of the โarts of lifeโ, a sentiment I can relate to on so many levels! ๐ฅฐ When you break down every single ingredient into millions of years of and evolution and the inevitable transformation into a food source, the Zen of food becomes mind blowing! ๐คฏ When did you last look at an egg and see itโs shell as being a barrier to the hidden treasure? ๐ค โฅ๏ธ LIKE and SHARE this post with someone who would love this! โ FOLLOW ME for more food adventures!! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ @theaquariancook ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ #gastronome #FoodQuote #foodforthought #quoteoftheday #foodthoughts #eggPhilosophy #WhatAreYouReallyEating #ThinkAboutYourFood #gaycook #gayfood #gaypride #lgbtq #instagay #theaquariancook #foodphilosophy #goldcoastfood #Queenslandfoodie #aussiefoodie #australianfoodblogger #eatathome #eatrealfood #feedfeed #cookforlife #forkyeah #foodnerd #foodgasm #instafood #kitchen @foody365_ @foodyeating @thefeedfeed @food52
Leek and Ham Quiches
๐ฅง Ham & Leek Quiches. Whoever invented a pastry cup was genius! What I love about a quiche is you can put virtually anything inside them!
โ
Perfect for using up leftovers, you can make your own custom flavours like I did. The leeks were sautรฉed with thyme until they were soft and buttery and the ham was triple smoked.
๐ It couldnโt be any better after a good sprinkle of Red Leicester cheese and a blast in a hot oven. Amazing! ๐คฉ

๐ถ Who DOUBLES the SPICES in every recipe?? I do I do!! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐ I love to sit down to a gorgeous CURRY or spiced dish as much as I LOVE to make them! Have you been in Cook mode and smelled every spice as you mix it in? ๐๐ป Have you added more flavours just because more means more?? ๐ ๐ถ I know alot of people assume more spices means hotter ๐ฅ food, but it can have no chilli but still pack an incredible flavour punch. ๐ฅ My secret ingredient I use as often as possible: fenugreek. Ground seeds, fresh leaves ๐ ๐คค or even dried will lift every aspect of your spiced dishes profile! ๐ Please LIKE, SAVE or COMMENT! โ FOLLOW ME for more food adventures!! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ @theaquariancook ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅฌ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฅฉ๐๐ง๐ซ๐ญ #foodmeme #foodjokes #curry #letstalkfood #Spices #ILoveIndia #HotAndSpicy #SpiceUpYourLife #indianfood #india #gaycook #gayfood #gaypride #lgbtq #instagay #theaquariancook #foodphilosophy #goldcoastfood #Queenslandfoodie #aussiefoodie #australianfoodblogger #eatathome #eatrealfood #feedfeed #canvalove #forkyeah #foodnerd #foodgasm #instafood #kitchen @foodyeating @thefeedfeed @food52
