This recipe gave me a newfound appreciation for just how much work goes into some of my favorite restaurant dishes! Hup to Ha, or shrimp and walnuts, is our go-to appetizer whenever we order Chinese food, so Calvin Eng’s version in Salt Sugar MSG was an immediate yes. Fried shrimp tossed with sweet mayo and topped with candied walnuts sounds like it could be too much, but the sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy combination works. And this version was phenomenal. The shrimp get a light cornstarch…
There’s something wonderfully comforting about a good breakfast sandwich, especially one that feels hearty enough to enjoy at dinner as well. These Breakfast Ciabatta Sandwiches are exactly that kind of recipe — simple, satisfying, and built on flavours we all know and love. Crisp fresh ciabatta rolls, rich pan fried eggs seasoned with smoked paprika, melty cheddar cheese, and sweet fresh tomatoes come together in a way that feels both indulgent and completely doable on even the busiest day. I…
These recipes require approximately 30 minutes of active time and are either already vegan or easily veganisable. They yield 4 to 6 portions and reheat well (I typically cook four portions for two, we eat leftovers the next night). Lentil and eggplant stew (90 minutes) Lentils are my winter MVP: they are a warm blanket made food. I use dry thyme, shaoxing wine and serve with greek yogurt and a slice of toasted sourdough bread. When eggplants are big and cheap, I usually use 500 or 700g for 4…
Mary Dodd, Dorie’s recipe tester and right-hand lady, has brilliantly taken a plate of chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon and a river of maple syrup and turned it into a cookie. Her Maple-Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies remind me of being in high school and grabbing a booth at IHOP with my friends. I don’t eat pork, so I used (gasp) turkey bacon for the bacon bits. I had to replace the bacon fat in the dough with extra butter, since turkey bacon doesn’t really render much of anything,…
When I was younger, a teenager maybe, that time of life when angst and sullenness are most likely to define our personalities, I remember asking my cousin what she thought happened when we died. Heaven, Hell, Limbo, Nirvana, reincarnation, the void? Her answer was none of the above. You just lie there, she said, hearing out of those same ears, seeing out of those same eyes, your mind still working, your awareness slowly dying as your body rots around you but lasting well past burial. I was…
O interior de São Paulo é uma joia subapreciada. Fui a Salesópolis no fim de semana, e a cidade é um charme – queria ter tido mais tempo para aproveitar, fica pra uma próxima.Voltei pra São Paulo com vontade de um dia ter um sítio para plantar limão.

You like prawn? I mean sweet prawn, prawn that’s strong and savory? This is your jam. It’s been a top ten staple for awhile now and now they’ve got a little sticker on them! This is seriously good stuff – let’s take a look. Vecorn Hae Bee Hiam Dried Noodles – Singapore Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Contains shrimp. To prepare, boil noodle for 4.5 minutes and drain. Add sachet contents (I find heating the sachet makes it easier to add in to the noodle. Finally, stir and enjoy!…
The link. The paragraph: “If we called it DC Brau Light Lager, it’s not going to sell, because I’ve learned that there’s automatically a bias against craft beer in a large part of the population,” (CEO Brandon) Skall said.
Ní haingil atá romham ná soilse an tslua,ná cór na naomh ag canadh os cionn na cré,ach seomra feithimh fuar is cléireach crom,is leabhar mór ar oscailt ar an mbord roimh ré.Ní fhéachann sé aníos, is ní ghlaonn sé m’ainm,ach scríobhann go mall gach ní atá le rá;níl fearg ná trua sa pheann atá ina láimh,níl ann ach an t-ord, is an oíche ag titim ámh.Tá scuaine fhada romham de na mairbh bhalbha,‘na suí go ciúin faoi lampa nach múchtar go deo;ní aithním aon duine, is ní labhraíonn siad focal,níl le…
Over the past year I've discovered the joys of pourover coffee, and especially the fun in trying out new coffee beans from different specialty roasters in Japan. Luckily my husband drinks coffee too, so with two cups a day we've got a pretty good consumption rate of coffee beans going. Lately I've been trying to visit a new coffee store each time I need more beans, which has meant we have been able to try more and more of the coffee beans on offer in Tokyo. So far I've bought coffee beans from…
Could be a mid-sized market town in Norfolk? But no, it is rather a rant from me about the mysterious transformation whereby thinly slicing food quadruples the price paid by consumers. A couple of weeks ago, Dau.II foodie sans pareil had day release from Dublin to help her agéd parents with some domestic task. She has hank when she poured off the train at Plunkett Station and we had to repair instanter to a supermarket for the makings of a hang sangwich. Nope, LIDL ham would not answer, we must…

It’s a simple, comforting slow‑cooker recipe that delivers a soft, fudgy chocolate sponge with a rich sauce that magically forms underneath as it cooks — the kind of nostalgic, self‑saucing pudding families have loved for generations.This recipe is wonderfully easy, uses everyday ingredients, and doesn’t require turning on the oven —…
Summer is the perfect time for peaches, and I've been craving them a lot lately. Today, I decided to whip up a peach crisp. I used this recipe, but I made a couple of adjustments: I didn't have oats, so I just used more flour, and instead of pecans or walnuts I used sliced almonds. I have to say, it came out perfectly and was absolutely delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream. It really hit the spot in this summer heat. Other summer foods I've been enjoying: Bomb Pops, a childhood favorite…

Previously we tried the Big Bowl version. Our local Albertsons affiliate has had tons of Buldak all of a sudden – would be nice if they do more exclusives as they’re going to be easy for me to get my hands on. Let’s check out this pack version – mukbang to follow as well! Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen Spicy Chicken Artificially Flavored – United States Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodle block for 5 1/2 minutes…
un jour j’ai appris à parler avec des mots. de plus en plus grands. si grands qu’ils auraient pu engloutir l’univers. un jour je t’ai vu. je t’ai trouvé beau. tu m’as donné ton corps. et je t’ai fait du mal. je t’ai fait du bien. avec mon corps. avec mes mots. avec tout ce qui manque. écoute-moi. ton regard m’a fait du bien. ton regard quand les mots sortent. quand ils ne sortent plus. écoute-moi. regarde-moi. oublie-moi. juste le temps que je te revienne. que je te parle. avec mes mains. avec…
The Toasted Owl has a couple of locations in Flagstaff. This was the first time we visited the downtown location. I opted for a Vegan Platter with a beet based burger, vegan condiments, and shawarma fries. Delicious. Special shout out to the tomato jam.
For this month’s recipe challenge, I tackled Matt Adlard’s Brioche Feuilletée: an enriched brioche dough laminated with butter until it bakes up somewhere between a croissant and the fluffiest brioche bread you’ve ever had! Unfortunately, my instant yeast decided to quiet quit halfway through the project, so every proof took far longer than expected. Not exactly what you want when you’re already signing up for hours of rolling, folding, chilling, and waiting. The shaping might have been my…
Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit! This week I learned about a single pot of broth that has been tended by the same family, for 52 years. The Thai Beef Noodle Soup That Has Been Continuously Simmering for 52 YearsAs Bangkok rises into the ranks of the world’s great culinary destination cities, its restaurant scene caters to ever more well-heeled travelers.…
I picked up this bag-in-a-box of La Colombe’s Colombia Inga Red Honey at the La Colombe north of me. I was meeting a past colleague for coffee and a catch-up, our third attempt to make it happen after the first two got disrupted by sick kids and the usual. Steamy summer has settled into Chicago, so I was sweating as I walked up and that tipped me into drinking a cold brew while I was there.

Hello everyone and welcome to this, my Meals of the Week for the second, yet first full week of July, 2026. Every Sunday I like to share with you, my readers, all of the delicious meals that I have enjoyed over the past seven days for my main meals. That's a whole lot of tasty!I try to eat homemade, wholesome meals as much as possible as well as keeping what I eat within a limited budget. As a Senior, I only have so much money to work with. I also hate waste. I don't like to eat frozen or…
Schön wieder so eine schöne Farbe, so langsam werde ich doch noch zum Rosafan! Frische Himbeeren waren im Einkaufswagen gelandet und obwohl wir sie gern direkt so vernaschen, haben sie den Weg in ein fruchtig-frisches Dressing geschafft.Das Dressing paßt perfekt zu Blattsalaten aller Art; wir kombinieren gern Feta dazu, er gibt eine schöne salzige Note zum fruchtigen Dressing.

Found this at the new Y&Y Supermarket in Lynnwood, Washington. Was the only thing I got but there were quite a few other things I wish I had. It’s a big bucket maybe 15 orso inches tall, containing a lot of different varieties. $13 was indeed a good deal for such a large thing. CNY promos are where it’s at! Let’s try this one out.

Yesterday, Rhonda and I dropped Aaron and Joey off at the House of Fun and headed over for a couple of beers at Tonewood.Brewing in Barrington, NJ. Tonewood’s non‑IPA beers consistently stand out; they don’t read as perfunctory crowd‑pleasers aimed at the Budweiser set, though widening their appeal may well be a factor. They feel like deliberate, respectful riffs on time‑honored styles. That’s no knock on their IPAs, though, which are excellent. Yesterday, I tried the Birdie Rice Lager, and the…
An odd-looking vegetable still waiting for its day, kohlrabi is a living link to how humans have interacted with wild plants, nudging them over time to create something entirely new. The crisp, tender bulbs can be used in any recipe you could use a potato or cabbage in, as well as many recipes you couldn't.... Read More The post Kohlrabi appeared first on Forager | Chef .
Every Saturday we round up the best writing about beer from the past week. This time, we’ve got Dortmunder, Helles and Obatzda. First, some rather surprising news: the 1984 murder of a real ale enthusiast has been solved and two men have been convicted of the crime. We first learned about the murder of Anthony Littler when we were researching our book Brew Britannia c.2013. He was a member of The Society for the Preservation of Beers From the Wood (SPBW) and was killed in East Finchley, North…
A comforting twist on classic French toast, this easy French Toast Crumble brings together everything we love about a weekend indulgence — a soft, custardy, bread‑pudding‑like base and a crisp, buttery, oaty crumble that bakes up beautifully golden. Warm baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom fill the kitchen with the most irresistible aroma, making this dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even your favourite “breakfast‑for‑supper” nights. Simple to prepare ahead and absolutely…
