What To Do If You Don’t Have A Cocktail Shaker And Need One For Your Drink

Tsuguliev/Shutterstock The right barware can be just as important as your booze when making cocktails at home. Knowing your coupe from your martini glass, understanding the merits of a whiskey decanter (and using one anyway), and identifying what types of cocktail shakers you really need can all go a long way toward transforming your living room into the place to be. But, sometimes we plan, and the spirits gods laugh — and one must make do with more crude implements. Mason jars, for example, are an obvious and commonly suggested shaker swap. But, if … Read more

Ramen Eggs – Ajitsuke Tamago – Leels Cooks

General

I’m going to be honest here, despite how often I make ramen I’m either too lazy or forgetful to make them this way and usually settle with a regular ‘ol 7 minute egg. Which is a completely acceptable way to enjoy ramen. But if you have the time and want to make things a little more special (and have a small pile of gorgeous tasty eggs) give this recipe a try. This recipe is for four gorgeously jammy eggs, marinated in a mixture of mirin and soy. The egg white gently absorbs the flavour and it makes a beautiful compliment … Read more

Artificial Plant Review – Museum Trees – Leels Cooks

General

A break from food related posts for a quick one on plants. I’ve been looking into silk plants lately, as our cats are literally the worst for eating anything green, and even though you can get “cat safe” plants, there’s nothing stopping them from just eating the entire thing, defeating the purpose of having a plant at all. Of course there’s still the possibility of them eating said silk plant but we’re hoping it isn’t as enticing as the real deal. By fate or coincidence I was contacted to do a review, and of course since I was already considering/looking into … Read more

The Plastic Bag Tip That Gives You Smoother Guacamole

General

From_With_Love/Shutterstock Guacamole can really complete a dish, whether it accompanies a Mexican-inspired meal or serves as a nacho dip that is filling, creamy, and guaranteed to hit the spot. Getting the ingredients together and then chopping and mincing them in a bowl may seem easy enough, but there is a more efficient way to get the results that are truly clump-free. Making use of a clean plastic bag is the secret to serving guacamole in an even easier way than the traditional method. Whether you’re devoted to the simple and safe guac … Read more

Simple Brioche Buns – Leels Cooks

General

A surprisingly quick and light brioche recipe adapted from the NYT Light Brioche Buns, but made with a couple adjustments including all purpose flour because I never have bread flour kicking around. These are buttery, light but dense enough to stand up to a juicy burger. They also make great egg sandwiches the following day 😉 What you need: 1 cup warm water 3 tablespoons warm milk 1 packet active dry yeast 2 tablespoons sugar 1 large egg, beaten 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons salt 2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened Egg Wash: 1 egg yolk … Read more

How Does Sprouts Compare To Trader Joe’s?

General

refrina & QualityHD/Shutterstock & undefined Shoppers are increasingly choosing specialty grocery stores over traditional chains. Specialty markets, which typically offer items that are special or somewhat hard to find, and fresh, often organic produce, outperformed traditional grocery stores in 2024, despite sometimes being farther away from shoppers’ homes. Such stores frequently provide offerings that cater to dietary restrictions or emphasize seasonality, sell prepackaged meals, or even have on-site dining. Although shoppers are likely just going to hit the closest grocery store for their basic needs like milk or bread, many people shop at specialty … Read more

Miso Ginger Salmon – Leels Cooks

General

I don’t eat enough fish. I used to eat sushi multiple times a week but since moving here it’s kind of been an afterthought. The other day we stopped by H-Mart and I grabbed a lovely piece of salmon with something like this in mind, here’s what I came up with! What you need: 13-14 oz of salmon (I just nabbed one large piece to split between two) 2 tbsp aka or red miso 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce 2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar 1 tsp ginger, finely minced 1 large garlic clove, finely minced 1 tsp sesame oil … Read more

Yes, Parchment Paper Can Burn. Here’s How To Avoid It

General

PawelKacperek/Shutterstock Parchment paper has infinite tricks for you to use, and it can help extend the life of your trays and pans. Its silicone coating makes the paper non-stick while creating a barrier between hot grease and your cookware. This heat-resistant material is a baker’s best friend. There’s something you should know before using it in the kitchen, though — heat-resistant doesn’t mean flame-retardant. Parchment paper is indeed flammable. It’s safe to use in the oven up to 420 or 450 degrees Fahrenheit on average, but you can double-check by reading the … Read more

Review – Graze USA – Leels Cooks

General

We’ve been dieting/eating healthy properly for the past 4 or so months. I’ve been on the lookout for some snacks that are interesting but “cheap” in regards to calories. As you know there are 8 million different sub boxes, snack boxes etc. So I wanted to try and find something relatively healthy but interesting enough that we’d enjoy the occasional snack and not feel restricted. I happened upon the grocery store snacks Graze has been selling lately and my husband commented that it was a sub thing and he had tried them years ago in the UK, only to stop … Read more
