Our culinary diary
If we've said it one, we've said it a thousand times, we're really enjoying participating in the Kitchn's Cookbook Club. It gives us inspiration to try new things, and to explore recipes that wouldn't be our natural go-tos. (See our Cookbook Club page for all of our previous fun!) This month's selection is Cool Beans,... Continue Reading →
Sticking with our Cookbook Club selection, we made another recipe from Grace Young's Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge. This month has been incredibly fun, even though we didn't join in until closer to the end of August. Ms. Young actually joined the club Facebook group and offered tips, suggestions, and kind comments on all of... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile. We say this a lot. We obviously don't use this blog to make money or to showcase a business, so it's the first thing to fall by the wayside when we're busy. Currently, we have a baby, both work full-time, and are navigating a pandemic, so our blog has drifted to the... Continue Reading →
The coronavirus pandemic has taken a lot of things from us collectively. Lives, health, daily freedoms, jobs, money... Some of these things are obviously more important than others. One of the things that it has taken is simultaneously trivial and powerful - our celebrations. No one is dying for lack of a birthday party, but... Continue Reading →
So things have gotten weird since our last blog post. The novel coronavirus has caused a global pandemic, and we're starting to see an uptick in COVID-19 cases in our area. The past week at work has been incredibly stressful, with a lot of confusion and worry. We actually are now on vacation for two... Continue Reading →
Welcome to March! This month's Cookbook Club selection is Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South, by Vivian Howard. If you're a PBS watcher, Vivian is the chef at the center of the show A Chef's Life. Selim loves that show, so this was a fun selection for us! Our first... Continue Reading →
Tonight's recipe is our second effort from Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. Our first attempt was the super unique Eggplant & Mango Soba Noodles, which we loved! I love all things carbs, so a dish of not one, but two types of potatoes is right up my ally. We enjoyed cooking with curry leaves for the... Continue Reading →
For Cookbook Club this month, we're cooking Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. I love Ottolenghi... he's one of my favorite chefs to follow on social media and I find his recipes universally delicious! I was introduced to him several years back when my sister gave me the cookbook Jerusalem that he co-authored with Sami Tamimi. It... Continue Reading →
December's cookbook of the month is a classic - Joy of Cooking. Originally written and self-published by Irma Rombauer in 1936, this quintessentially American cookbook has sold more than 18 MILLION copies. We don't own it, but I knew someone in my family did, so we borrowed a copy of the 1997 edition from my... Continue Reading →
So it seems like our cookbook club is the only thing that's keeping us blogging this fall... I guess that's a good thing! We're still really enjoying participating and are loving the variety of cookbooks selected. For November, we're cooking (or baking as it were!) through Sister Pie, by Lisa Ludwinski. The selection is certainly... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
