#104: Spinach Artichoke Dip

As a child, I thought that Spinach Artichoke dip was a really fancy appetizer, mainly because I didn’t really know what an artichoke was and thought it was a luxury ingredient. But in fact, spinach artichoke dip is one of the most popular appetizers throughout all of the US, with many restaurants featuring a dip… Read More

#157: California Roll

I’ve been meaning to make a sushi recipe for a while now, especially after we made the onigiri recipe a few years ago, and I thought that the California Roll would be the perfect one to start with! The California Roll interestingly has a complicated origin story, with the roll’s invention being disputed, either being… Read More

#106: Deviled Eggs

When I was trying to think of appetizers that weren’t fried for this month’s set, one of the first ones I thought of was deviled eggs. The first time I had tried deviled eggs, I didn’t really like them, but thankfully I tried making them again using my own recipe and I realized just hate… Read More

#103: Bruschetta

Last year, we made a lot of fried appetizers, which, although they are very tasty, they aren’t the greatest in terms of their nutritional value.

#173: St Lucia Buns

For this December Delights, I was wanting to highlight some more traditional advent recipes, so with the Feast of St Lucia coming up on the 13th, I thought that it would be fun to make some St Lucia Buns.

For this drink recipe, because Fourth of July is just around the corner, I wanted to make something that represented America in some way. And what better way to do that than with the mint julep?

#141: Lomo Saltado

When I was first looking into this recipe, I was surprised to find out that its roots are more Asian than it might seem at first glance.
