Recently I got my hands on some Chilean pluots. I decided to make a grilled cheese sandwich with them. Now I don't think plum and cheddar, the typical choice of cheese for grilled cheese, go together, so I've substituted it with brie. And to elevate it, I opted for sourdough for a chewy texture and some tang in flavours.
We are only a few days away from Halloween, and this Halloween isn't going to be the same. We are all trying to be more creative and have fun, all the while being safe. Baking at home is definitely fit for this occasion. We made some monster fingers by adapting from a recipe. This is super easy to make and there are ways to involve your kids (or the kids in you)!
Mid Autumn Festival is happening on October 1 this year and mooncakes are a must at home. I recently posted on Instagram some pictures of her creations this year, and some of my followers have asked for a recipe. The one recipe she has perfected is a baked mooncake with custard filling. I'm happy to share this one with you.
Mama Lam and I got our hands on some fresh, local BC blueberries, so we decided to have some fun. We looked up a number of recipes, and found this pull-apart bun recipe that seemed fun and interesting. It was successful even for our first attempt. Here is the recipe after some adjustments.
One day, Mama Lam whipped up this dipping sauce for some roasted pork jowl. It was so good, and I knew I had to share the recipe. It's acidic, savoury, with a bit of heat. It's surprisingly refreshing, and reminds me of Thai or Vietnamese flavours. All it takes is 8 simple ingredients that you likely have at home all the time.
