My brother just cooked a 5 course meal for my grandparent's birthday. No pics, unfortunately. Quick run down though:

Chicken with foie gras
Scallops with pickled cucumber & apple
Sous-vide beef with cepe & snail ragu
Berry compote and sorrel sorbet
Mango & passion fruit souflee on creme brulee'd mango with coconut sorbet

Lovely!

The taste of slow cooked chorizo is always so good!

The Lidl near me are doing just pistachios and you scoop how much you want?

Woops, didn't mean mango creme brûlée. Meant to say "brûlée'd mango".

He's not actually a chef, but he's very enthusiastic and does a lot of cooking. He actually runs a restaurant and occasionally a pop-up or two. Have a look here.

Trouble is sealing them and shelf life.
Nuts and jerky are my main snacks/hiking food. So glad I saw them in Asia means I can buy a ton and they are allways in the cupboard ready.

Well, it was damn tasty horse meat anyway.

I have a feeling that a piece of brisket bought from the butcher and cured myself is less likely to be horse meat than any beef in a ready meal though
