The red comes from tomato paste and two paprikas rather than anything exotic. Everything in it is a hard herb with heat-stable oils, which is what makes it a marinade for searing rather than something you spoon over at the end. It was written for chicken and works exactly the same on turkey, which is what was in the fridge Building the marinade is this post. The dressing that goes with it and the sear itself are in Sauce and sear

From Seventy Flavours, Vanilla by Clark MacLeod:The actual highlight of the day was a visit to Pictou, a town I’ve driven past many times and always wondered about. There isn’t much to see — an expensive leather goods shop, the usual tourist draws around old architecture, not unlike Charlottetown. What made the day was a stop at Thompson’s Dairy Bar, which boasts around seventy soft serve flavours. Despite the selection, I had vanilla.Perhaps worth taking the ferry back home for!

Sweet potato leaves are edible, and a delicious traditional food. While Americans know the sweet, starchy tubers, around the world both the tubers and tender green leaves are eaten where the plants are grown. Edible is an understatement too, considering how cheap and delicious these are. Today I'll walk you through processing them with a...

Washington DC On a day trip into DC we stopped here. It's right across the street from one of our favorite bookstores, Politics and Prose. It's a bar serving coffee in the mornings and alcohol at night. I love this little stretch of Connecticut Ave and the neighborhood. We ordered iced lattes with oat milk. They were delicious! The espresso was a great flavor and it was very refreshing on a hot day.

Every Saturday we round up the best writing about beer from the past week. This time, we’ve got West Wales, South Wales, Belfast and Edinburgh. First, news of an immediate change announced by the new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, which is intended to help pubs: Pubs, social clubs and live music venues in England will be given a 20% cut to business rates from April, with new Prime Minister Andy Burnham calling it a “first step” to help the industry… It is his third policy announcement since…

Hello — if you’re here, thank you. You probably know who I am, but if not, my name is Hans, and I’ve been blogging about instant ramen noodles for over 20 years. I’ve spanned over 5,000 reviews, creating images, write-ups, and videos all about the world of the humble instant noodle. For a while now, one key piece of equipment I rely on has been going worse and worse — my desktop computer. I got it quite a while back. Lately, it’s been rebooting or just shutting off when it wants to. Some USB…

Another one in the long line of Korean toowoomba variants. This one looks a little different – it seems like this is definitely more pasta than an instant noodle. Let’s delve into the depths of this bowl. Surasang Toowoomba Pasta – South Korea Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add room temp water to line, then noodle and powder base. Microwave at 1000W for 3 minutes or 700W for 3 1/2 minutes. Finally stir and enjoy! Detail of…

This sounds delicious! 😋

ignis is a small pourover coffee store off the Yanaka Ginza shopping street in the Sendagi / Yanaka area. We went here at the recommendation of one of my readers (thanks, keep them coming!) Having visited the area recently to check out some other coffee shops, we’re beginning to realise that Sendagi and Yanaka are a bit of a coffee hot spot. They have a number of different beans available for their pourover, ranging from 1000 to 4000 yen for a cup. They had 3 from Ethiopia, two from Panama and…

There are at least 2 wildly insulting usages in that title, but... so be it. ::chuckle:: [ day in progress... ]

I dream about being the type of cook who wanders through a farmers market, gets inspired by whatever is in season, and runs home to make something simple and delicious without consulting a single recipe. The reality is that I am extremely recipe-bound. I shop with a detailed list, rarely impulse-buy, and often have meals planned weeks, sometimes months, in advance between recipe development and content planning. Ask me to freestyle a farmers market dinner and I immediately forget every…

My son Miles is in full swing obsession with trying everything Buldak. This is an enormous switch for him. Miles is on the spectrum and doesn’t generally venture out of his comfort zone at all when it comes to foods. I’m impressed that he’s making such an effort here – there’s a mukbang below! Let’s give it a go. Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor Ramen Big Bowl – United States Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself.

100% Vermentino; steel fermented, aged in steel on fine lees for 3 months; fruit from controlled vineyards in the foothills of Luni, Castelnuovo Magra, and Sarzana. Price in the $25-$35 range. 12.5% Alc. This Vermentino from Liguria isn’t an especially aromatic wine. It’s more about texture and movement. It opens briefly with generous ripe pear and citrus with a short spell of lees-derived creaminess rounding out the mid-palate. But then mineral discipline takes over. Fine-grained dry extract…

Potato salad has always been one of those timeless summer dishes that brings comfort to the table, and this Potato, Egg & Green Bean Salad is a fresh, colourful twist on the classic. Built on fork‑tender new potatoes, crisp‑tender green beans, and eggs cooked just between soft and hard for a touch of natural creaminess, it’s a vibrant, flavour‑forward salad that feels both nostalgic and new. The light Dijon herb vinaigrette — made with rice wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, dill, chives,…

Ammonite Coffee is a roaster and cafe that sits a short walk away from the University of Tokyo campus in Hongo. Maybe it’s because of the location, but it had probably the most reasonable price I have ever seen in Tokyo for a decent cup of pourover coffee - only 600 yen. They had a number of single origin beans you could choose from - Kenya, Costa Rica and others - as well as a couple of their own blends as well. Regardless of the price, they were all only 600 yen for a cup. All the beans are…

Sometimes I start one of these things but then, for a variety of reasons, don’t finish it. Maybe something better came up, maybe the research was taking longer than expected, or maybe a shiny object distracted me. But I usually don’t delete the draft because hey, maybe one day I’ll go back and finish it. So there they sit in the draft folder. Over time I’ve accumulated a few of these, and by “a few” I mean 417. I’m now going back to finish one I started in 2015. Back then, I had just learned…

To prepare, boil vermicelli for 1 minute. Drain. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy! A single from the multipack. Detail of the…

2026/07/22 Wednesday Today I made stuffed eggplant, and it turned out pretty good :) On this cooking entry there won't be music, I'm still deciding if I will continue the playlist or start others... and I think I'm going to make a cooking index for recipes and entries where I made them... Anyway, I had two big-ass eggplants, one also big but a bit smaller, four tomatoes, and I grated some mozzarella to start. Then I scooped the eggplant insides with a spoon and chopped the contents into small…

Monograms can add that perfect crowning touch of elegance to your wedding cake. Or, they can look like this: Proof that sometimes it's better to quit before letting your five-year-old write on the cake. Still, it could be worse.The monogram could match the rest of the cake: Hey, it's not easy to make tinfoil look this good. If you do find a mistake in your cake's monogram, don't panic. There are plenty of seamless ways for your baker to fix the error. This isn't one of them. Now, I'm all for…

A great white currant sauce that goes well with fish, chicken, any white meat, or braised celery root or parsnips. White Currant Sauce is the latest post on Hunter Angler Gardener Cook.

The Highroller’s Lobster Grilled Cheese made me a believer: lobster and cheese can peacefully coexist. The Highroller Lobster Co. is one of my go-to spots for a lobster roll in Portland, but its lobster grilled cheese is the order I daydream about. So when I stumbled on the recipe in The New Portland, Maine, Chef’s Table, it knew I had to attempt it at home. Thick slices of Big Sky Bread Company’s English muffin bread get buttered, toasted, then piled with sharp cheddar and Jarlsberg and…

Cooking for one or two doesn’t have to mean settling for bland meals or drowning in leftovers. This Dump & Bake Meatball Casserole is a cozy, small‑batch pasta bake that comes together with just a handful of ingredients and almost no effort. Everything — dry pasta, marinara sauce, water, herbs, and tender Italian meatballs — is stirred together and baked until the pasta absorbs the flavourful sauce and the cheese melts into a golden, bubbly topping. It’s budget‑friendly, freezer‑friendly, and…

For the past several years I've been eating this kale salad in the summer not because it's my favourite salad and not because I like kale. I eat it because it's easy and it's healthy. I also like the taste of it, which is remarkable because I don't like kale. It's too kaley. However as...Read More

I assume that Corn Toasties are a riff on Thomas’ Corn Toast-R-Cakes, which I admit I’ve never had, but have always appealed to me all the same. Just tall enough to split in half and slather with butter, these cute little golden cornbreads are baked in a jumbo muffin tin. They’re a little sweet, not too crumbly, and truly are anytime cakes. They’re good for breakfast, good with a bowl of chili, and Dorie says they even make fine berry shortcakes and tomato sandwiches. I froze what we didn’t eat…
