Onion Galette
I remember seeing this onion galette way back in 2020 on Bon Appetit’s website and immediately making it. It was so good. One of my favorite and easiest things to make are galettes. And I love having this savory version in my repertoire. It’s a bit more work that regular simple galettes but I find that it is so worth it!
Homemade Yogurt
Things have been getting pretty pricey lately and so I wanted to somehow cut some costs on certain foods my family and I regularly consume. One of which is yogurt! Who knew that it would be so easy to make your own batch of yogurt. All it takes is a few tablespoons of your old yogurt and milk. An added benefit is that you can also make it as tangy as you like.
Chocolate Vinegar Cake
I made chocolate vinegar cake, which may sound weird but is actually super interesting! It’s a Great Depression era recipe that uses pantry items to make a fluffy and airy chocolate cake. I don’t consider it one of the best cakes I’ve made, but it definitely is one of the easiest and simplest!
Shortbread Cookies
This is the third part to my no eggs recipes series!
This shortbread recipe is so easy since it only requires three ingredients: butter, flour, and sugar! Who knew that you can make such delicious cookies with barely anything. These cookies are crisp and buttery.
Earl Grey Panna Cotta and Blueberry Jello
This is my second part of making egg-less desserts since eggs have been either scarce or pricey lately.
I always wanted to try making panna cotta but never got around to it. So, I thought this would be the perfect time to try since it does not contain any eggs and I did! It was much easier than I thought it would be and I changed it up by adding earl grey and blueberries. You should definitely give this simple yet delicious dessert a try!
No Bake Cheesecake
I always crave cheesecake. But since there’s been a lack of eggs in America lately, I’ve been looking for recipes that don’t call for eggs. So here comes this no bake cheesecake! The recipe calls for creating texture with fully whipped cream and imparting flavor with a combination of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese with touches of vanilla and lemon. I don’t know which I prefer more now, the baked or no baked. It’s so good!
Chocolate Cake
I made this chocolate cake for my friend’s birthday but this cake also works perfectly for Valentine’s Day! If you’re searching for a cake that’s all about chocolate, this is it. It’s sweet, decadent, and delicious! And it’s also quite easy to make. You should definitely try it out! :D
Yaksik (약식)
Yaksik (약식), which is also known as yakbap (약밥) is a Korean dish that is typically enjoyed during Korean holidays such as Seollal (Korean New Year’s Day) and Chuseok (Korean Harvest Festival). Yet, what I remember most from yaksik is that it is one of the foods that my grandma would regularly make. Her yaksik was so delicious and I miss it to this day. This is my attempt at making a version close to hers.
Lentil Soup
My family’s been sick with the cold lately so I wanted to make a hearty but healthy soup and so I decided on making some lentil soup! I like to pack my soup with as many vegetables as I can. I also love lentils and how they’re a great source of fiber and plant protein!
Scones with Clotted Cream and Jam
I went to a cafe in London and fell in love with scones with clotted cream and jam. I’ve never had clotted cream before that, but I instantly was amazed by how good it was and how beautifully it paired with the scones and jam! I knew that I had to have it at home, so here’s my attempt at making this British classic!
