Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Bites – Leels Cooks

When it comes to food weaknesses, soft pretzels are up there for me along with anything potato related and bubble tea. I make a lot of quickly thrown together yeasted breads like this, and while it may seem daunting I encourage you to give them a try. They’re not as complicated as you think! I stuffed these with a higher moisture buffalo mozzarella, feel free to use any cheese you like, considering that the more moisture, the more likely they’ll explode/leak about in the oven. It’s all part of the experience though, and the nicer cheese you use, the better … Read more

Matsutake Mushrooms Are One Of The Most Expensive And Rare You Can Find

General

Yaorusheng/Getty Images While not as well known as shiitake or chanterelle mushrooms, the matsutake mushroom isn’t one you should discount. In fact, you’re very unlikely to find them at a discount at your local market. More than that, you might be hard-pressed to find matsutake at a market outside of they’re harvesting season in Japan. And when they’re in season, they can fetch around $1,000 per pound. But why do these fabulous fungi cost so much? Well, for one thing, they can only grow in specific environments, and they cannot be cultivated … Read more

Char Siu Pork (Chinese BBQ pork) – Leels Cooks

General

I make this recipe quite often and have it in my featured highlights on instagram but I figured it was time to get it up here! I like to make two whole pork tenderloins worth and freeze it in portions for fried rice, bao, ramen or whatever else! This recipe has NO red food colouring because I feel it’s unnecessary, and it’s red *enough* anyway. It shouldn’t be difficult to find the ingredients for this one nowadays but if you’re struggling, the most prominent flavours are hoisin and chinese five spice. You could omit everything but that and still get … Read more

General

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Grafvision/Getty Images We wait patiently for the sweet smell of spring for strawberries. We hold off on the refreshing crunch of watermelon until summer. We wouldn’t think of warming our hands with a hot cup of apple cider until September at the earliest.
