Our culinary diary
Now that we've started using filo dough (see: Baklava - we've made it twice since posting it!), we've gained a little bit of confidence in working with the thin, finicky dough. So I knew Selim would want to tackle börek next. He loves börek - although it's kind of hard to say it's his favorite... Continue Reading →
When I think about a dinner that screams SUMMER! - for whatever reason, my go-to is fish with a fruit salsa. I don't know about y'all, but I always am more interested in fish in the summer - I can mentally transport myself to the ocean and pretend that fish just got hauled in a... Continue Reading →
Not going to lie to y'all. I have no idea what kind of fish I used to make this dish. I was trying to eat through some of our freezer foods and pulled this out. It's tilapia, maybe? So we'll just suggest you use any white fish of your choosing. This was another of those... Continue Reading →
As you can tell, we enjoy braised chicken. We make it more often than the handful of posts on our blog. It's simple, tasty, and always makes leftovers for lunches or a quick dinner later in the week. I think kimchi scares a lot of people... fermented cabbage, anyone? It's alive and continues to ferment... Continue Reading →
I've put off posting this recipe for almost a week now. Mostly because I've been busy with my current rotation and was feeling pretty uncreative. The creativity bug hasn't bitten me in the meantime, but I didn't want to forget this recipe because I really enjoyed it. The lemon makes a basic chicken soup just... Continue Reading →
I may have mentioned it once or twice, but I have an embarrassing love of most things that come in a box, especially with powdered cheese. Kraft mac & cheese? Clearly. Those Knorr rice or noodle sides in a bag? So good and only $1! Hamburger Helper? Be still my heart 🖤🖤🖤 Are any of... Continue Reading →
As is my usual plan, when I'm uninspired and looking for something to make, I turn to a) the internet and b) a random cuisine from around the world. Is it because I'm American and have always eaten "American" food, that I think it's the least interesting cuisine out there? Or is it because legitimate... Continue Reading →
I don't know about y'all, but I follow an absurd amount of food-related Instagram accounts. Some days I love it and drool over all the gorgeous photos, and some days I'm like, I just want to see my friends' babies and sunsets!! (When I'm not freaking out like that), one of these delicious feeds that... Continue Reading →
For all of you who celebrate Easter with a massive ham and therefore, invariably have leftovers - here's a recipe for you! This soup is flavorful, and stuffed full of ham. No guilt about wasting leftovers! On a related note, save or steal the ham bone! We'll use that too. It's not necessary to the... Continue Reading →
What's the first thing people think of when they think of Turkish food? Kofte is the first thing for most people, but there's so much more! Don't worry, we're going to keep cooking our way through them and sharing with you here. Gözleme is one of the many great Turkish street foods. (Lahmacun is another that if you... Continue Reading →
