Breaking Bread the Podshow

QUICK UPDATE!!! We had a baby!

We are back after a 2 year hiatus. We are now parents to a beautiful baby boy, Theo!

Welcome him to the world and welcome back to podcasting.

We went to Paris!  It was incredible.  The museums, the architecture, and of course... THE FOOD.  We simply had to cook French food when we got home.  So we made:

Enjoy!

Luscious Lamb Chops.  Decadent Pasta.  Simply, divine!

We pulled these recipes from Carla Lalli Music's, 'Where Cooking Begins'.  

It's a great recipe book.  There are specific recipes, but also guides on methods of cooking, like confit.

Enjoy!

We made Loaves & Fishes!  Well, a loaf & a fish.  We received a wonderful cookbook as a gift: Ottolenghi Test Kitchen.  We cracked it open.  The two recipes that stood out to us were spiced soda bread and tahini salmon.  So, we got into the kitchen and got to it.

The spiced soda bread was insanely delicious.  The tahini salmon tasted great and gave us a lot of ideas for the future.

Enjoy!

On this episode, we cook up a couple delicious Philly Cheesesteaks!!!  Steak, sauteed onions, sharp provolone cheese - what a trio!  We jazz it by adding in bell peppers and seasoning.  Don't forget to toast your hoagie!

We try our hand at Brazilian food.  For this edition, we cooked three dishes: Picanha, Camarão No Leite de Coco, and Arroz e Feijão.  

This was a great meal and did not require too much labor.  Thank you, Brazil!

This episode brings us to CHINA!  We're trying our hand at two delicious recipes from two different provinces:  Soup Dumplings ( Jiangsu Province)  & Hunan Beef ( Hunan Province )

We labored for hours prepping the dough, folding the pleats on the dumplings, reducing a soup into delicious gelatin, frying up marinaded flank steak -- suffice it to say, this was a lot of work, but a lot of reward too!  A most enjoyable meal.  

Nothing like some hot dumps on a wintry evening to warm your soul.

We made Indian food!  This was our first time cooking Indian food.  We made three dishes for our meal: naan bread, punjabi chana ( chick peas in a tomato-based spice sauce ), and butter chicken ( also known as: murgh makhani ).  

Welcome to the first episode in our International Food Series.  We are starting our Tasty Travels in JAPAN!  We made Miso Ramen with Pork Shoulder, Bok Choy, and Softboiled Eggs.  It is a delicious, savory meal that is perfectly warming -- especially as the weather turns cooler heading into Autumn.  We discuss the rich history of Japan, Miso, and Ramen.  Enjoy it!
