on Dec 23, 2020, Updated Mar 26, 2021 I’m such a sucker for the good old Tres Leches cake. I could be held at gunpoint and not care if I had a plate of this moist, spongy dessert in front of me. What is Tres Leches, you ask? Though it sounds French, Tres Leches is actually a Mexican dessert. It usually has a sponge cake heavily soaked in milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream and is topped with whipped cream....
This is not one of those no-knead recipes but what saves you a good deal of time is the fact that you can mix all of the ingredients at one go– no need to proof the yeast first– and you don’t need hour-long rises. The bread does need two rises, but they are just about 30-45 minutes each. And in the end you are rewarded with a handsome loaf of bread that smells amazing, has a perfect crust– not too thick nor too chewy– and a soft, delicious crumb....
One vegetable I always pick up during my monthly trip to the Indian grocery store is arbi, or colocasia. This rather unpretty root vegetable can be hard to figure out for someone who’s never cooked or eaten it before. If you haven’t, think of it as the low-profile but high-impact cousin of the wonderful potato – now there’s someone we all know and love. Arbi has a whiter, denser flesh than potato’s, its skin is pretty much inedible, and its flavor is bland with addictively earthy tones....
Whole lamb on a spit over a fire is a Greek party classic. This is just as good – just on a smaller scale. Smoke kissed lamb seasoned simply with garlic and rosemary with a lemon jus. Hard to beat. Grill roasted lamb. There are a few things to consider here. Bone-in leg of lamb is impossible to cook evenly. Just look at a leg of lamb critically some time....
on Dec 22, 2017, Updated Aug 25, 2020 Every time I looked at wine and cheese platters on the Internet there was major awe and respect for people who attempted those cheese boards and made them look so effortlessly beautiful.

You don’t see hariyali chicken curry on many restaurant menus. That’s too bad really. So many Indian restaurants are stuck on the same formula. 15 dishes. Done over and over. Time to grow a bit. Time to step it up. This is a homestyle curry that’s adapted to the Indian restaurant technique. I’ll be doing more of these going forward. India has so much more to give. This is Indian restaurant cooking....

This is one seriously tasty curry. Complex flavours in a rich restaurant style sauce. Lamb rogan josh. One of the big ones. Lamb makes this rogan josh special This dish is better with lamb.

Spanish lamb stew is about the lamb and the paprika. Do yourself a favour and use the best of both you can get your hands on. The flavours are delicate so there’s nowhere to hide. Bad ingredients – bad results. No way around it. The Spaniards and Hungarians take their paprika seriously. The Hungarians have 8 categories of paprika before you even get into smoked or not. Forget what you know about no-name paprika....

on Jun 21, 2024 There was a time when I got really annoyed at the pace at which leafy greens went bad. It felt like I just bought them, but they would already start wilting and spoiling even before I had a chance to use them. Not only did this lead to a lot of food and money wastage, but it also meant that my meal plans were thrown out the window!...

For those of you who are, I have the best vegan brioche donuts ever....

There’s almost no dessert bread in the world that’s as addictive as a well-made chocolate babka.
