Trying to Be a Private Chef for a Day for a New Mom & a Baby…

Today I'll be a private chef for a day. I'll be cooking for my older brother's fiancée Sarah and their son Daniel, so my nephew. Sarah spends all her time taking care of the baby so she doesn't have much time to cook for herself so I thought it would be helpful and fun for her if I cooked all their meals today. They'll be here in an hour so I'll try to get as much done as possible before they get here. For Sarah's breakfast, I'll make healthier bagels, an omelette and an iced tiramisu latte. And for her lunch, I'll make a summery salad and for snack, an heirloom-style smoothie. For dinner, she asked if I could make my one-pot shrimp gnocchi since my mom had told her that it's the best recipe in my e-book. All these meals look impressive and taste delicious but they're actually easy to make. For Daniel, I'm going to make mini banana muffins, mango puree and lingonberry porridge but let's get straight to it. We're going to start by making the super easy bagels. For the bagels, we need one cup of all-purpose flour. I'm using grain-free flour and two teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt and then we stir. Next we're going to add one cup of full-fat Greek yogurt. If you're using grain-free flour like me, add one egg white. The egg white just prevents the grain-free bagels from getting dry and now we stir. And here's the ready dough. This literally took three minutes to make. Next we're going to spoon four dollops onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Next we sprinkle some flour on top and shake them into flat balls. Then we use the back of the knife to make holes to the center of each bagel. I brush off the excess flour and then we brush them with a beaten egg. And lastly we sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Then we bake the bagels at 190 Celsius 375 Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes. While the bagels are in the oven, I'm going to start prepping the foods for the baby. So I'm making two ingredient mini banana muffins. So we need one ripe banana. Originally I was going to make my banana pancakes but he doesn't eat eggs yet so we're making muffins instead. Now we just mash the banana. And then we need one quarter cup of oat flour. And then we just stir. I tried to use this batter yesterday to make pancakes but they were impossible to flip since they stick to the pan. If you want to make banana pancakes instead you need one ripe banana, two eggs, and one quarter cup of flour. And if you're making the pancakes for an adult you could also add a pinch of cinnamon. Next I'm going to spoon the butter into these silicone muffin liners. These are great since the butter won't stick to these. These will go into the oven when the bagels are ready but we're going to bake these at 180 Celsius 350 Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. For the mango puree we only need mango so we're going to add this into a blender. And then we just blend until smooth. And then we just pour the ready puree into a container and store it in the fridge. Next I'm going to make one shot of espresso for a latte. Next we'll make the mascarpone cold pull. We need four tablespoons of heavy cream and two tablespoons of mascarpone. And two teaspoons of maple syrup. And half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. And then we whisk until it's nice and fluffy. The ready cold foam should look like this. We're going to make an omelette sandwich so we need two eggs and a pinch of salt. And then we whisk with a fork. And then we cut a bagel in half. This is how it looks on the inside. Super soft. When the eggs have been cooking for a few minutes we add the bagel on top. And then we fold the omelette like this. Then you can add fillings of choice. I'm adding pesto and crumbled feta. Sliced tomato. And lastly arugula. And here's the ready omelette. There. It looks really good. Now I want to try to make an avocado rose. So we're going to thinly slice the avocado. Then you need to spread it like this. And then you just start carefully twisting the avocado. Then you should have a beautiful avocado rose. I'm also adding some fresh fruit and berries. And here is the ready breakfast plate for Sarah. Sarah and Daniel just arrived. Here are the ready omelette muffins. Lastly I just need to make the tiramisu iced latte. And here is the ready iced tiramisu latte. So for lunch we're making a peach burrata salad. I already have the quinoa there cooking in vegetable stock. Next we're going to chop the asparagus and we're going to roast them in the oven. And then we're going to grill peaches. And for the salad we also need arugula, prosciutto and burrata. And then I'm going to make my go-to balsamic dijon mustard dressing. Here's my version of the viral heroin smoothie. I made it a little bit lower in sugar and skipped some of the weird ingredients. But now we're going to do a taste test. It's really good. Super creamy and refreshing. Now he's going to try out the mango puree. Lastly we're going to make the one pot shrimp gnocchi. Usually I make an IBS friendly version with green onions but this time we're using garlic and onions since Sarah does not have IBS. So we're going to start by chopping two chilies and four garlic cloves and dicing one onion. Next we're going to heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a big pan. Next we add the onions, chilies and garlic to the pan and cherry tomatoes. Then we cover it with a lid and let them cook for a few minutes. Next we smash the tomatoes with the spatula. Then we add fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste and spinach and hot vegetable stock. When it's simmering we add the fresh gnocchi and the shrimp and stir. Then you want to make sure that the shrimp and gnocchi are covered in the sauce. We add the lid on top and let it simmer for a few minutes. The gnocchi is ready when it feels soft and you know that the shrimp are cooked when they turn pink. Here is the ready one pot shrimp gnocchi. It looks and smells so good. I put it into containers so they can have dinner at home because that way my brother also gets to taste this. Sarah and Daniel just left. I'm drinking the rest of my smoothie. This will be one of my new go-to smoothies. It's so good. I'll add the written recipes for the bagels, the latte, the salad and the smoothie to the description and the gnocchi recipe is in my newest ebook. I'll add the link down below. See you guys next week. Bye!
