One thing I love about working from home is it's easy to cook things that need long babysitting ("stir every 30m for 6h"). I do it during pomodoro breaks! If you're new to WFHcookery, some faves: - french onion soup - "red sauce" - jus - soffritto Recipe links in replies…

Jus! Intense, glossy sauces are often what make restaurant dishes so amazing. They take all day to make, but you have to do things intermittently. Some favorite recipes attached, from Eleven Madison Park and The French Laundry, respectively.

It and TFL have been the most essential teachers to me. The first EMP book is a revelation. The dishes are shockingly makable, and they cover much more range than TFL. Individual components and techniques are often very repeatable.

Also sort of a bummer that I’ve struggled most with bouchon, I’ve tried to get into it, it never quite sticks. Also my fav wfh meal is quiche, start with the dough in the morning and bake just before dinner, lots of small quick tasks along the way during the day.
