The Brits, famously, cannot agree on what to call a bread roll. A simple round soft roll that an American might think of as a hamburger bun might have a half-dozen different names depending on what part of England you’re in–a roll, sure, a bun, maybe, but a cob, a bap, a barm, a batch? A stottie? A tea cake? A bread cake? UK bread rolls The terms may not be entirely interchangeable. The Platonic ideal of a Scottish morning roll may not look much like a stottie or a tea cake. But in much the way…

When I moved into my first studio apartment 8 years ago, it didn’t have a microwave and I decided I would just live without it. BUT, my one of my favorite salty snacks is popcorn (because I have been lucky to have pets who do not care for popcorn). So I learned how to make stove top popcorn. And now I only make it that way. I once mentioned it to my coworkers and got hard roasted b/c of how bougie it sounded. I've been thinking about this because I finally made a batch to share with my friends…

Essie started her eponymous brand in 1981 with $10,000 after working in the hosiery business. When Essie launched, there were very few companies making nail polish, and nail salons were rare. Essie nail polish is now available in roughly 25,000 salons in more than 100 countries. The company was bought by L’Oreal in 2010. Essie speaks with Jessica Harris about how she launched Essie, from scratch. Listen to the interview

In the last post, I took a look at egg prices in the U.S., which have declined a bit in the last year but are still well above where they were five years ago.The administration cherry-picked this item to suggest to the people that inflation has been tamed. Let's take a look at the price of beef. Not long ago, this item made the news, when the President vowed that he was going to make steaks affordable.Well...His effort is clearly failing. Ground beef in the U.S. is now 20% higher than last…

Koffee Mameya, a specialty coffee bean store near Shibuya, had always been on my radar to visit but I had never quite gotten around to it. Its reputation precedes it - I had a coffee-loving work colleague in Australia recommend it to me (which just goes to show how widely known it is) and so I was always afraid of the inevitable lines outside. Well, on a rainy Friday morning I decided to brave the line, hoping that it might be shorter due to the poor weather. Alas, not really - I still waited…

It is becoming clear to me that I did a fair amount of cooking in March that I was expecting to blog about, but hadn’t yet started blogging again.1 Last year I made the Moqueca Vegetariana recipe from Authentic Brazilian Home Cooking and it was quite good, but it was a vegetarian version of the “real” dish Moqueca Baiana (fish stew). It was really good and at the time I decided to make the fish version of the Moqueca at some point in the future. For Science. When I pulled out the cookbook again…

It’s the last Monday in May on Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire, England, and I’m standing on a frighteningly steep slope, ready to watch 25 daredevils hurl themselves down after a wheel of cheese. This is the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling. “One to be ready!” calls out the master of ceremonies at the top of the hill. “Two to be steady!” The competitors, laser-focused on the route ahead, steel themselves for the descent. As for me, spectating on the side, my shoes are sinking into loose dirt and…

A few languages on this export version. I half expected this to have come from their Turkish factory. Despite the multiple languages (and use of the word flavor spelled flavour), this is for the US market as you can see the long distributor list with US telephone numbers. Let’s cook!

We waited, and waited, and waited for spring in Maine, and it felt like we got one day before Mother Nature started breaking heat records with a 93-degree day in May. It got me thinking about no-cook recipes for the upcoming summer, like Ina Garten’s Chilled Cucumber Soup with Shrimp. It’s so simple – you blend Greek yogurt, half-and-half, cucumbers, red onion, scallions, salt, and pepper until the cucumbers are coarsely puréed, then stir in fresh dill and let the whole thing chill until very…

Looking for an inexpensive lunch in Farringdon/ Clerkenwell? Bánh Mì Aha! is a strong contender. Bánh Mì Aha! has been serving Vietnamese street food from its St John Street spot since 2021, one of now three London locations, with a fourth on the way. The Farringdon location is a couple of minutes walk from the Museum of the Order of St John, and about five minutes away from the Charterhouse, two of Clerkenwell best loved landmarks. I visited one lunchtime in April 2026 and here’s my review.…

If you’re craving old‑fashioned comfort, this Creamy Baked Chicken is the kind of recipe that never goes out of style. Made with simple pantry staples and bone‑in chicken pieces, it bakes low and slow until the meat is tender, the skin turns beautifully golden, and the cream transforms into its own rich, velvety gravy. There’s no browning, no fussing — just shake, pour, and let the oven work its magic. This is the kind of homestyle dish that fills the kitchen with warmth and brings everyone to…

I made this recipe for Pork and Hominy chili that I found on So Many Dishes back in March and never wrote about it. I’m a sucker for a good pozole recipe1 and this seemed pretty close – the biggest difference being the addition of tomatoes (and Ken’s addition of pinto beans). My Night Off I followed the recipe pretty much as it was written (which is getting rare these days). About the only embellishment I made was trimming the fat off of the pork and rendering it to use for sautéing the onions…

After weeks of experimentation, it turns out I really love the folder feature.But the problem is, the syntax is too verbose :[[folder:your folder name]]your folder content[[/folder]]So, in v26.5.27, I added a syntactic sugar while keeping it backward compatible with the old syntax.Now, you can use this one instead :[[f:your folder name]]your folder content[[/f]]

Welcome to Secret Breakfast / The best place to slurp coffee noodles, cook heretical pasta, and learn that to be scheduled is to be lovedHi there!
