breakfast — eggs benedict
This is my favorite dish to order at brunch, but did you know how simple and easy it is to make at home? The hollandaise sauce is made by slowly whisking in the melted butter into egg yolks and lemon juice. Then seasoned to taste with salt — only 4 ingredients! I added french butter to english muffins along with proscuitto and smoked salmon. Then topped it with a poached egg and the hollandaise sauce.

lunch — uni pasta with @imperiacaviar
Uni pasta is also one of my favorite foods! You’ll always end up spending $30+ for a bowl at the restaurant, but it’s much cheaper (and tastier) making it at home. Start by boiling the pasta and cooking a few minutes before it reaches al dente. Add olive oil and crushed garlic to a pan, along with the undercooked pasta. Add a little pasta water, cream and parmesan cheese until you reach the right consistency. Then add in the uni paste and mix. Garnish with more uni, caviar and scallions.

dinner — steak + oysters with uni & caviar
Liberally season your steak with salt and pepper and cook to your preferred doneness. There’s a lot of leftover flavor in the pan, so don’t waste it. Use it to cook veggies of your choice — I used corn. Then I shucked oysters and topped it with uni, caviar and a squeeze of lemon.
