As more and more people stay at home due to the Coronavirus outbreak, cooking has become a popular pastime and a necessity. Eating out has become a rare occasion as people avoid crowded places and practice social distancing. This means that the kitchen has become the new restaurant, and we need to upgrade our cooking skills to make the most of our experience.

If you are looking for VIP recipes that will make you feel like you are dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, then look no further. Here are some indulgent recipes that will make your quarantine a bit more bearable.

1. Lobster Mac and Cheese: This is a decadent twist on a classic comfort food dish. Boil macaroni according to package instructions and set aside. Melt butter in a pan and sauté garlic and onion until fragrant. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Slowly add milk and heavy cream while whisking. Bring to a simmer and add grated cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and smooth. Add cooked macaroni and cooked lobster meat to the cheese sauce. Put the mixture in a baking dish and top with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375°F until golden brown and bubbly.

2. Spicy Mongolian Beef: This dish is perfect for those who like a bit of heat in their food. Cut flank steak into thin strips and marinate in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha sauce for at least 30 minutes. In a wok or frying pan, heat vegetable oil and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Add thinly sliced green onions and sesame oil. Serve with rice.

3. Pan-Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce: This is a luxurious yet easy-to-make dish that will impress your quarantine companions. Rinse scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a pan until sizzling. Add scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove scallops from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add white wine and lemon juice and stir until reduced by half. Add cold butter and whisk until melted and smooth. Serve scallops with the lemon butter sauce and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

4. Homemade Pizza: If you are missing the taste of your favorite pizza joint, why not make your own pizza at home? Preheat your oven to 450°F. Roll out store-bought pizza dough on a floured surface and place on a baking sheet. Spread tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings on the dough. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

These VIP recipes will make you forget about the outside world and transport you to a gastronomic nirvana. You don’t have to be a professional chef to make these dishes- all you need is some time, patience, and a bit of creativity. So, put on your apron and get cooking- your taste buds will thank you.
