I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. It’s my favorite kind of dressing for salads, but they didn’t sell it so I found a recipe online (I forget where) and tweaked it to my tastes. It’s a bit thinner […]
I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. I have a preferred recipe for chicken thighs these days with mustard and balsamic vinegar, but I don’t have that written out as a recipe yet and this one’s great for plain, […]
I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. I obsess over Mediterranean food. I could eat it and only it for the rest of my life. I admittedly do Americanize this recipe considerably (as well as tweak it for my […]
I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. My classic birthday cake choice is strawberry, but I’d like to not actively kill myself with a decadent option. This one has the flavor, a mousse-cake-ish texture, and is definitely moist. I […]
I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. These were an attempt to make sugar cookies that don’t get loaded with, you know…sugar, or a heaping of fat. They taste like a baked confection, but they’re more akin to maple […]
We have a heat wave here – like it’s going to hit 60 degrees in mid January heatwave – which says one thing to me: get ready for the opposite. Seems like that happens often. But today it’s a review – and then a mukbang. My ten year old son Miles has all of a sudden decided he wants to try Buldak. So, I’ll do the review today and then on the weekend we’ll do the mukbang. It should be noted that the sprinkles that are candy and star shaped make me immediately think of Samyang Popeye snack which…
Growing up, it wasn’t officially summer until we had Pie-Iron Pizza cooked over a campfire on a camping trip. It’s simplicity at its best: marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni sandwiched between two slices of buttered white bread, secured in a pie iron, and cooked over the fire until golden brown with melty cheese inside. For years, living in New York with no campfires in sight, I could only dream of making them. Sure, I could have used a panini press or a skillet, but it’s not the same! Then I…
Bread has acquired an odd reputation. Somewhere along the line, baking became wrapped up in jargon, hydration percentages, and people discussing starter cultures as if they were raising exotic pets. This loaf has no interest in any of that. It's simple, forgiving, and difficult to mess up. Whenever I bake bread, I'm reminded of the old slogan "We want bread, and roses too!", which came out of the American labour movement and carried a simple idea. People need bread, but they also need beauty,…
Just like cake, there are many flavors of geek fandom - and I love them all.Granted, I love some more than others: (By Chatter Cakes)NO LIE. I about fell over when I found not only a cake of my favorite video game character of all time - I found an AMAZING cake of him: (By Oakleaf Cakes)[Kermit flail] SONGBIRD!!Songbird here is a whopping three feet tall, and was made for Irrational Games. And I love him. You can check out the amazing build photos here. Who else loves Avatar? And I don't mean…

Andreas Krennmair has a new book out focusing on ‘Bavarian white beer’, AKA Hefeweizen, AKA wheat beer. And it’s reminded us to check in with this intriguing style. Out and about in Bristol’s pubs yesterday one thing that struck us was that German wheat beer is a style that’s become quite mainstream in the UK since the UK Weizen craze of the 1990s. The Barley Mow near Bristol Temple Meads station had a draught wheat beer from Ayinger and multiple examples in bottles in the fridge. But even…
"Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Situated on China's southern coast just south of Shenzhen, it consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. With 7.5 million residents in a 1,114-square-kilometre (430 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is the fourth-most densely populated region in the world."

Just passing by on my way to get jerk chicken from a nice friend.
At one of the supermarkets I go to, I found these ice cream bars, what the Japanese, especially Kansai (west Japan) people call, "ice candy"These are made by Kubota Ice, a company in KochiWhat I like about these is that there aren't many ingredients in these, just milk, sugar and the fruit or "flavor"Back in March I tried this strawberry & milk bar and recently this matcha barSo
Probitas is a blended rum collaboration between Barbados’ Foursquare distillery and Hampden Estate from Jamaica, known as Veritas outside the United States. The expression launched a few years ago as a 47% “white” rum with bolder flavors than your typical light rum. The blend of Coffey still rum from Barbados and a bit of Hampden’s heavy pot still rum means it has a ton of flavor in a daiquiri or other cocktails where you want the rum to be clear or nearly so. The collaboration now has a second…
I recently read an article by Adriane Quinlan for Grub Street titled Dark, Dense, and Disappearing How pumpernickel bagels became an endangered species. The headline concerned me. I am a fan of the pumpernickel bagel. While I like most non-everything bagels (everything tend to be too salty for my taste), pumpernickel is probably my favorite bagel (we can place cinnamon raisin to a different category). I previously wrote about how my regular breakfast in my senior year of high school was an…

Ahh – Taiwanese dry noodles. I really enjoy this style of noodle and haven’t had many cross my desk in recent times. Alas, a few years ago, cases upon cases used to grace my desk. This and another variety were sent by a reader a little while back – let’s give this a try – and if you’re a Taiwanese noodle company, I really want to hear from you!

They come in a slew of brilliant colors and are crisp, tart and delicious. Begonias are my favorite edible flower, and the fact they're edible will be new to many. While most know they make a great annual flower, I plant begonias exclusively to eat. I've yet to find a variety I don't like, and...

They sit you at a table and then bring you a single slice of hot toast. When you are done, they bring you another. Have as much toast as you want for a fixed price. One hot slice at a time. Tea, coffee, etc., can be extra. As can things to spread on your toast.
Every Saturday we round up the best writing about beer from the past week. This time, we’ve got desi pubs, bad news and pub crawls. First, news from the World Cup and from Boston that seems to confirm a Scottish stereotype: Devon Savage from Boston Beer which owns the Samuel Adams Taproom said the Tartan Army had “drunk them dry”… She added: “For perspective, from Thursday-Sunday, the Tartan Army drank four times as much Boston Lager as we run through on a typical four-day holiday stretch like…
If you love a brownie that’s rich, fudgy, and just a little bit nostalgic, these Rocky Road Brownies are about to become a new favourite. Inspired by the British version of Rocky Road — the kind made with glace cherries, toasted walnuts, and soft mini marshmallows — this recipe takes a classic chocolate brownie base and gives it a fun, old‑fashioned twist. Each square is studded with sweet cherries and crunchy walnuts , then topped with a smooth chocolate glace icing and a scattering of mini…
I had the day off and decided to check out the World Cup madness in San Pedro Square, arriving late in the USA vs. Australia match. The street has been pedestrian only for several years but during the World Cup drinks can be brought out onto the street as well so that you could watch on the big screen erected in the street or on the TVs on the patios of several venues. Street vendors were selling flags, hot dogs, and even street Margaritas and beer amidst the chaos. We even saw a giant tour bus…
The markets will be overflowing with tomatillos over the coming weeks, try to grab some fresh ones while you can! I'll list 18 recipes below where you can use these green beauties.

Is Wurtz that bad of a name? Why can’t nurseries leave it alone? They’ll call the variety anything: Dwarf Avocado, Hybrid Dwarf Avocado, Little Cado. Anything except the original, real name: Wurtz. Wurtz variety history Roy Eugene Wurtz, a clerk in the Encinitas post office, grew the original tree on his property there in San […] The post The Wurtz avocado tree: a profile appeared first on Greg Alder's Yard Posts: Southern California food gardening.
I’ve wanted to review this one for a long time and I found it at our local Grocery Outlet store. That’s a place that stuff could possibly be being discontinued. I’m kind of surprised but who knows if that’s the case – just glad I was able to find it! Well, let’s cook it up and I’ll give you my thoughts.

If someone tells me a cake is vegan plant-based, I'm going to downgrade my expected enjoyment: I've had a lot of bad vegan baked goods. Some bakers are vegan for health reasons, and minimize all the other things that make food worth eating, but even a fully hedonistic vegan baker is at a serious disadvantage. But much less now that there are precision-fermented egg whites! I made an eggless cake last weekend that was indistinguishable from the summer cakes we'd eat growing up. Julia and I host…
And these aren’t those white-inside strawberries you get in a store. No, these are red-all-the-way-through Michigan strawberries. So we made pie and I froze some to make some mead. Shot on the Canon 5D (classic!) and EF 100mm f/2.8 macro.
Tucked away down an attractive alleyway in London’s Shoreditch sits the tiny Umbrella Workshop that houses an atmospheric off-licence that also serves some sharp cocktails to destination drinkers who’ve come to imbibe the vibes and lift the spirits. If that all sounds a tad flowery the cocktails are certainly not. Our visit coincided with the…
