I feel like beans in broth is the ideal winter -> spring transitional meal so on the menu tonight:

borlotti beans in broth with roasted fennel and a bit of wild garlic + walnut pesto
served with a thick slice of homemade sourdough

also messing around with some vegan hot cross buns curious to see how they turn out.

pretty amazing i won't lie. i think i overcooked slightly, it's a touch cement-y, but i prefer that to being runny (like my previous jams have come out)

inspired by my pal Windowflowers, made some orange marmalade. Did 2 kinds-- with tangelos and cara cara oranges-- and it's interesting to be able to taste the differences between the two. The tangelos were much more tart to start off and the cara cara oranges have a rounder, sweeter taste, which came through a lot in the final product.

feeling the need to trot out the marm i made a few weeks ago as well now. mixed citrus, i think i used orange, tangerello, lemon, blood orange, and grapefruit?

Image

my mason jars only consumed half of it, so the rest is filling my various other takeout tins...

no-recipe pizza i made last weekend with ends and bits in my fridge

Image

currently prepping for my first passover seder. doing matzo ball chicken soup, chopped liver with shallots on matzo, parsley horseradish fennel salad, ribs and baby yukons braised in spices and vinegar, schmaltzy carrots, and matzo toffee for dessert... very excited

been begging my local butcher to save me chicken skin scraps for weeks, as well as freezing my own, and i should have enough to make the ~1.5 cups of schmaltz i need for the meal

The Flavor Equation by Nik Sharma (Indian cuisine mainly)
The food lab by Kenji

On that note, does anybody have any favorite cookbooks for Iranian (specifically Tehrani) cuisine? I love Iranian cuisine and have learned how to cook some dishes through friends but have yet to find a cookbook that looks good.

I work in food but have a pretty meager cookbook collection, the ones I use most are

660 Curries- Raghavan Iyer
Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking- Marcella Hazan
Japanese Home Cooking- Sonoko Sakai
Advanced Bread and Pastry: A Professional Approach- Michel Suas
Prune cookbook- Gabrielle Hamilton

there's this sort of avant garde fine dining food blog that's not been updated in years that i visit every so often for inspiration. you gotta use way back machine but here's a capture if anyone's interested: https://web.archive.org/web/20170928135 ... epad.com/

here's another jewish food one that is basically all the food i grew up eating so it's nice seeing things written up even if it's kinda junky: https://web.archive.org/web/20210311104 ... gspot.com/

Chef Wang is the man but he talks SUPER fast and his setup is difficult/impossible to replicate in a home kitchen: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg0m_A ... nn77-vYnYw

For, uh, an easier time, I also quite like Chinese Cooking Demystified: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC54SLB ... Q6N__UjbAw

my wife and I saw a tiktok for sausage and onion gravy so we fucked around with it

Image

caramelized onions & cider in the gravy, Irish "bangers" (sic) from a local butcher, rosemary + sage + garlic + buttermilk in the potatoes with the skins crisped on top, basic bitch arugula salad + parm, etc.

tbh imo a lot is sort of just having eaten stuff and backing out the tastes from ur palette

you can try 小高姐姐 Magic Ingredients on youtube. her stuff has english translations i think, and is pretty xi’an homestyle cooking + other things

fu pei-mei is sort of a classic bible for taiwanese food, and i’m 99% certain she has had english translations too... its relatively comprehensive on regional cuisines (yue, xiang, lu, huaiyang, etc etc) so its a good resource

tbh tho i feel like trendy kids in hk and tw nowadays are into western and/or japanese food... like nice cafes w/ instagrammable pasta and salads and stuff, or japanese washoku style like feed your nerves in prince edwards. that and korean food bc k-wave
