Cheese Stuffed Gochujang Buns
If you’re a fan of GBBO, you may have witnessed one of Dylan’s handshakes from Paul on bread week for his Gochujang Buns. Well, I’ve done them 3 times in the last week, only once following Dylan’s winning recipe, and they’ve all been amazing- we made burgers last night on buns weighing 140 g each,…
Starting From Scratch
Happy New Year. I’ve started over many times. New houses, new towns, new countries, new jobs… but has any of that prepared me for this new life without the person I’ve shared so many of those milestones with? With the amazing love of my kids and our incredible friends, I can feel the hope of…
Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta
Panna Cotta, or “cooked milk” should be on your next kitchen to-do list! It is straightforward, versatile, and simply delicious! Can I just add a little thanks for the Italian language here?

Okinawa, that is. I visited the local fruit market yesterday, and walked away with way too much for…
