My wife requested chicken souvlaki, which is always a favourite of mine. Served with a Greek salad and fried eggplant chips with tzatziki. I converted my souvlaki into a wrap of sorts and added in the salad in top and the tzatziki on the bottom. #chemistswhocook.

Pan fried sea bass over a bed of warm cherry tomatoes, olives, and peppers. Served with couscous and sautéed asparagus with lime butter. #chemistswhocook.

Happy Halloween. Sometimes when the kids are occupied and not joining for dinner it is nice to just graze on a selection of fine cheese and pâté and have it with some good bread and a green salad with a punchy French vinaigrette like you would find in a brasserie. #chemistswhocook.

Pasta alla vodka. Actually came out really well. Sautéed onion, garlic and chilli flakes. Then added tomato paste and deglazed with vodka. Then added crushed tomatoes and cream. We used oddly macaroni, but it worked. #chemistswhocook.

Chicken with Thai basil and Chinese style green beans with garlic. Both served over steamed rice. Nice and quick weeknight meal. #chemistswhocook.

My first time making crispy chilli beef, served over rice and with broccoli. Came together in About 30 minutes. #chemistswhocook.

Who doesn’t like fresh pasta, this one with a Bolognese sauce and served with garlic bread. #chemistswhocook.

There was indeed fresh mint

Agedashi tofu, which reminded me of trips to 🇯🇵, and a salmon bowl, with sautéed choi sum, avocado, bean sprouts with gochugaru and garlic, tamago. #chemistswhocook.

It was rainy and dreary, so did something special and went for high tea. For a light dinner, it was Vietnamese summer rolls, with a peanut sauce. #chemistswhocook.

Flavour bomb meal. Started off with lamb kofta. Tzatziki and smoked paprika mayo as sauces, but the real accents are sumac and parsley onions and roasted cherry tomatoes. Dessert is a tiramisu, a favourite of mine. #chemistswhocook.

Congrats to Yan, who passed her PhD viva today. Many thanks to Marcel Mayor and Neil Robertson for acting as examiners. I think the smile says it all. @ezc-group.bsky.social @standrewschem.bsky.social @standrewsosc.bsky.social

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving. Not very traditional but here is a sushi bowl requested by my daughter. Sauce is spicy mayo. Also, cute photos of my dog and cat. #chemistswhocook.

Last night made a beef pad kaprao, served with rice and the requisite fried egg. Accompanying it was stir fried pak choi and oyster mushrooms. Tonight a fav, souvlaki, grilled eggplant and zucchini, tzatziki and salad. Made a wrap with all of it #chemistswhocook

Morning walk on West Sands saw a Haar rolling in from the west. Turing left I saw only the fog. Turning right I saw clear sky and a beautiful sunrise. #standrews.

Was in Spain last week. Benefited from great weather and some outstanding science. Final meal was the best, tapas but riffing off of international favourites.

Sheet pan kofta kebabs, these ones are chicken, are satisfying. Wrapped in some Persian flatbread and eaten with tzatziki,
A garlicky smoked paprika mayo, and an onion, parsley, mint and sumac salad, and roasted tomatoes. #chemistswhocook

I was more of a fan of this meal than my family. Made a Moroccan beef mince pie and some blistered green beans with lots of garlic. #chemistswhocook.

My daughter chose the pasta, fusilli gigante, and I paired it with a zesty marinara sauce, so lots of anchovies, garlic and a hint of chilli. #chemistswhocook.

Shrimp fried rice. Best reuse of rice is to make fried rice. #ChemistsWhoCook

At long last we are rolling out Digichem for the world to use. This has been an absolutely transformational program that now manages all of my group’s calculations, handles much of the analysis, and creates publication worthy figures. @ezc-group.bsky.social @standrewschem.bsky.social

Beef with broccoli and stir fried bok choi with lots of garlic. Both served over steamed rice and harking back to takeaway Chinese food. #chemistswhocook.

After several days in the Netherlands and Germany I came back craving Japanese flavours. Made a salmon rice bowl. Broiled salmon (orange, lime juice and zest, honey, soy, miso, mirin, oil), tamago, cucumber, avocado, edamame salad, carrot and ponzu, broccoli. Spicy mayo. #chemistswhocook.

Great time in Karlsruhe for the core-to-core meeting and great to have some many of the group here as well. It is hugely enjoyable to enjoy a drink with friends in the afternoon. @jfchimie.bsky.social

Great supramolecular chemistry discussions over the past couple of days in sunny Amsterdam.

Crepes on a weekday morning are doable, especially when you have the batter the night before. So enjoyable to have, and only about 15 min to get these together. Dinner tonight was a fam fav of chicken schnitzel, served with tender stem broccoli and rösti. #chemistswhocook.

Shana Tova. Happy Rosh Hashanah ! I made an apple cake fully of Bramley and Pink Lady apples. Served with some lemon mascarpone. Also made spanakopita because it is tasty. #chemistswhocook.

Invite is open. Let’s push this to email.

My daughter asked for a bacon cheeseburger for dinner, so I obliged. #chemistswhocook

Next time, make time to travel north to St Andrews.
