The Quarantine Food Diaries: master list

Is it possible to cook something different for dinner every night? How many things do I know how to cook, anyway? These weren't questions I deliberately set out to answer, but after a few weeks of cooking every single day, the Quarantine Food Challenge was on, whether I meant it or not!

(The answers, it turns out, are: yes, with a couple of exceptions (because eating something different every night would also mean only eating your favourite things once, so Lee's preferred pasta bol and ham-and-pineapple pizza have made a number of appearances); and "more than I knew how to cook before, and counting"...)

Here, then, is the growing list of all the things we have eaten for dinner since lockdown record-keeping began:
