Most Monégasque food is extremely complicated. Much like the #F1 #MonacoGP this year. I wasn't in the mood for complicated food, so crepe suzette and ratatouille is was, then. Quite enjoyed the complexity that 50% of the grid getting a penalty added to the race tho.

Ok, so I am behind on posting #f1 food pix... but that doesn't mean I've not been cooking! Random collection of photos. You work it out. #FormulaOne Part 1:

I didn't like the #Bearman crash. I'm not too bothered by superclipping. Or that the drivers need to relearn how to overtake in terms of working out how to game the new cars' boost systems or whatever. But I'm not watching #F1 for erratic crashes and the possibility that someone might die.

So I made #lamingtons for the #f1 #AustralianGP. I'd have posted that earlier but then the Australian driver whose grandma supplies the team with her much superior version crashed on the way to the grid. I'm sure the coloured coconut is an outrage, but... #amcooking #foodsky #whatsfordinner

Hurrah! Ed Sheeran! #f1 Australiangp

Plus! It's all so interesting the drivers in the cool down room can't resist having a real and possibly a little bit indiscreet conversation about it all! #f1 #australiangp

But also, it's an engineering championship. And all cars are inherently unnatural. There's no right set of parameters. There are just parameters. I'm really enjoying the different solutions. And how the drivers cope with them. #f1 #australiangp

About the new regs. In F1 or any motorsport, the car and how it works is the game. Getting on top of that is part of the game. As they are! It shows how the drivers matter. #f1 #australiangp

So I won't mind if Russell wins the championship, but thankfully it looks like Mercedes won't have it all their own way. #f1 #australianGP

Ok, so I am outing myself as a full blown Ferrari fan this year, and I don't know why because clearly this is going to be bad for my blood pressure. #f1 #australianGP

Well, at least Ferrari strategy hasn't changed. #f1 #australianGP

Anyway. More importantly, I get to stop cooking for #F1 and start thinking about the festive season. But as a last hurrah, I give you a shawarma, made with falafel (I like falafel) and mint infused salad. #amcooking #foodsky #whatsfordinner #abudhabigp

Not a huge Norris fan, but he had to drag himself back in it this year and earn it today. Congratulations! #F1 #AbuDhabiGP #WDC

This level of tension is not why I watch #F1 to be honest. #AbuDhabiGP

And in episode 342 of 'I don't know why everyone thinks Leclerc is nice', I bet he would very much not mind spoiling someone else's chance of being WDC when he hasn't a hope of it. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP #WDC

Communication is hard. GP and Max clearly sometimes use radio messages for a bit of gossip about the race and other drivers. I don't know whether this is designed to wind the other drivers up, or calm each other down, or just for the pure enjoyment of talking about racing. Like us, skeeting! #f1

Actually scratch that. She goes on the podium to collect a trophy for her contribution to the team once, and there's a wall of commentary about how this is mainly about trolling McLaren. Not surprised she keeps her head down, mainly. #f1

Are people at the track singing along to this yet? Are we at home? I mean, I assume McLaren aren't, but, y'know... #F1 #qatargp

And I get to be a Hannah Schmitz fan if I support Red Bull. I am not seeing a downside to this. Does she have merch? She should have merch. #F1 #qatargp #strategyrules

Red Bull really are a good team. Consistently work successfully on refining the car over a race weekend. Make all the right calls in the race. Max is great too obviously but he's got fabulous back up. I suppose that second car is their Dorian Grey portrait in the attic. #f1 #qatargp

Nope. #f1 #qatargp

Damn teenagers. #f1 #qatargp

You absolutely know the reason why McLaren didn't pit at least one of Teresa cars was because of those stupid papaya rules. But what of one of the strategies was better!!!???!!! Can't have that. Fair enough if it works, of course. Let's see. #f1 #qatargp

Is this a good time to distract everyone watching the insanity of the #f1 #quatargp with a picture of machboos, a sort of one pot chicken curry Qatar claims as its national dish? #foodsky #whatsfordinner #amcooking

Ok, so it's not quite Thanksgiving but then I'm not at all American and it was the #LasVegasGP. Therefore I give you roast chicken with sides of sweet potato mash topped with marshmallow, and green beans in a mushroom gravy. I refuse to call them casseroles. #F1 #whatsfordinner #amcooking

Is it bad I don't know who Terry Crews is? #F1 #LasVegasGP

You gotta admire Sheeren's agent's business sense in making that clip a mandatory part of the podium celebrations between now and infinity. You gotta #F1 #LasVegasGP

Because I can't always turn this part of my brain off, my main comment about JB's commentary is his quirk of slightly excessively using epiliptical repetition to agree with Crofty. Max has won the GP He has It's very impressive how Antonelli managed those tyres It is #F1 #LasVegasGP

Still in it Max. Let's DRIVE! #F1

Could do without Brundle insisting on calling Antonelli 'the teenager' because it makes me feel very, very old. Quite glad he hung on there, but that was super from Verstappen. Whodathunk. #F1 #BrazilGP

Gosh. A Red Bull team principal admitting to a mistake. Truly we are not in Kansas anymore. #f1 #braziliangp

So! Brazilian estrogonofe de carne. If you are thinking it looks and sounds like stroganoff, you would be correct. It's got tomatoes in, and I think it's more usually made with chicken. I also bottled the french fries (yes, fries AND rice. Apparently). Simply lovely. #f1 #braziliangp #foodsky

Hay la le la LET'S RIDE! #f1 #DriversChampionship

Right. Caught up on the #MexicanGP. Gosh. #F1

Food for the #F1 #MexicanGP is what your food magazines call 'Mexican-style' and I call 'Anglo-Mexican fusion. To whit: chilli, guacamole and sweet corn soup. #amcooking #whatsfordinner #foodsky

Just getting my defence in early that it's been a trying week, so as a result I outsourced the food for the #f1 #USGP. Normal service will be resumed next race.

Oh my stars, still true #SingaporeGP

Had a go at laksa soup for the #SingaporeGP I feel I managed to successfully balance the coconut milk with everything else in the broth. Plus, all food is improved by aubergine and fried tofu. No, I don't know if that is authentic. Just that it is tasty. #F1 #FoodSky #whatscooking #amcooking

GP and Verstappen do really egg each other on to new heights of bitchiness. #F1 #SingaporeGP

For the #f1 #AzerbaijanGP I made lavangi chicken, mainly because I am really bad at plov. But it's a REVELATION is a stuffing made of onion, walnuts, prunes and breadcrumbs. As is smearing pomegranate molasses under and over the skin. Mmmmmm. Recommended. #foodsky #amcooking #baku

So the Dutch national anthem sounds a lot like O Little Town of Bethlehem to me, which since it is my favourite carols is not a bad thing. #f1 #AzerbaijanGP #Baku

As for The Incident at the #ItalianGP. This is why it's not ideal to have the two championship contenders be teammates. Either the team mismanages them, and it gets ugly, or the team micromanages them and it's a farce. Hey ho. At least someone else won! #F1

The #ItalianGP demands lasagna. So lasagna it was. #F1 #amcooking

I'm a bit busy for ONE DAY and they go and sack Christian Horner.

Beer battered fish (plus chips) is surprisingly easy to make. Quite British for the #BritishGP too. #f1 (The summer pudding is for tomorrow. But I *made* it today, so that will count, right?)

I must say, Piastri is evil. I like it. Overreached himself there, though. On the restart and that radio message. #F1 #BritishGP

Hulkenburg!!! Woohoo!!! YES!!! #F1 #BritishGP

And the whole of #F1 fandom goes wild! Go Hulkenburg! #BritishGP

So #F1 the Movie's emphasis on shenanigans looking quite on the nose today. Quite enjoyed that Piastri / Verstappen nonsense. I'm even quite looking forward to Horner's inevitably self righteous press conference appearance. #F1 #BritishGP

Sorry lads, I think the weather at Silverstone might be my fault. I'm half way through making summer pudding. #f1 #BritishGP #foodsky #BritishFood #amcooking
