So when we rediscovered the fig jam we bought on our Croatian holiday in our cupboards, we were revisited by all the memories of the beautiful food we ate there. One of the things we tried was burek – pastries that originate from Turkey but are found all over the Balkans. We loved them and … Continue reading
Every once in a while, we get a real urge to go through all of our cupboards, throw out the old and unusable and hopefully reacquaint ourselves with things we’d forgotten all about. It’s a random urge – it doesn’t matter what the season – where we feel like we absolutely HAVE to de-clutter right … Continue reading
So we just came back from an epic trip to Seoul, South Korea and we had to share something amazing (and of course food-related) with you that we discovered: Korean vegan food. Yes, we didn’t know about it either. We like to think that we are knowledgeable about quite a few international food cultures and … Continue reading
We truly believe that there’s nothing that can’t be improved with mozzarella. Even mozzarella. When in doubt, add (more) mozzarella. Fresh and uncooked with chopped tomatoes, on pizza, even on plantains, it’s absolutely gorgeous. So you know Melanzane alla Parmigiana, you’ve seen our Plaintain alla Parmigiana and now have a look at our equally yummy … Continue reading
We love being unintentionally trendy. So Tara recently had her wisdom teeth out which means she couldn’t really chew. Now, as wonderful as an Ice Cream – Mashed Potato – Custard – Soup Diet is, at some point you’ve got to work in a fruit or vegetable if only to stave off the Grumpy Sugar … Continue reading
So we’re always going on about how easy it is to make things at home that you’d usually buy at the supermarket instead. And we’re telling you today that you need to start making your own fishcakes. Honestly, you have no idea what are in those supermarket ones. Plus maybe they drop them on the … Continue reading
We love a good deal. 2 for 1, half price, reduced items – who doesn’t love a bargain! Call it in the immigrant instinct in us or something. Anyway, we spotted a leg of lamb on special offer and couldn’t pass it up. Normally, we would roast meat simply to allow us to use it … Continue reading
As you know, a couple of weeks ago, we asked, “what are we going to do with the kale pesto” we made. Here’s one super yummy solution – put it on pizza and add mozzarella ad artichokes! It was actually a perfect solution – an example of how the universe comes together in a way … Continue reading
We were funny kids. About 5 or 6 days out of the week, we used to be fed north Indian food – some type of dhal and rice, or maybe a chickpea or vegetable curry. And we complained ALL the time about it. (Now of course, we can’t get enough of Indian food!) We used … Continue reading
So we have this annoying habit. (And we have a feeling you may do too). We love food. We love interesting ingredients. We love the possibilities that a special ingredient brings. We scour food markets, supermarkets and food halls for good quality food that will help us transform our cooking and think creatively. But we … Continue reading
