Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! It’s another viewer redemption! This time, one of our long-time viewers chose Armenian food. Ordinarily, I’d do a ton of research trying to learn about the country’s cuisine, and decide which recipe I wanted to make. However, this particular viewer is also a…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! It seems like all we do on stream these days are Cookbook Club recipes (we’re doing I Am a Filipino: And This Is How We Cook tomorrow!) and fishcoin redemptions – where users who have earned enough of the loyalty points that they…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! For the last few months, we’ve had a cookbook club going, where my viewers on the Twitch stream help choose the cookbook for each month, and then anyone who wants to participate can cook along. I also cook a few recipes from the…
Charcoal-grilled pork on skewers, udon noodles in curry-flavored soup, octopus dumplings, deep-fried beef cutlet — there’s a whole world of exciting food in Tokyo that food-loving visitors often miss out on. This book will introduce you to more than twenty of Japan’s favorite specialty foods that are less well known…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! For almost a year now, I’ve been promising to make vegan ramen for one of my friends, and keep failing to deliver. *facepalm* I’m a bad friend. But I finally found a time that worked for both of us, and got it on…
On Saturday’s stream, we started curing some citrus and dill gravalax – coated it with a salt, sugar, citrus zest, and dill mixture, wrapped it up, weighed it down, and stuck it in the fridge. Originally, the gravalax was supposed to be for our Christmas celebration – I had intended…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! Even though it’s seemed like a warmer than usual fall/winter so far in LA, I’ve been unusually into soup this year. Most of my soup-cooking has happened off-stream – I’ve made creamy italian quinoa soup, roasted garlic chili white bean soup, and ham…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! I first tried chili crisp a few weeks ago, when a friend brought a jar to our Asian Dumplings Cookbook Club potluck at the beginning of December. Son was instantly hooked, and has been asking me to make a batch ever since. It…
Last night, a newer Twitch cooking streamer asked us is we had any advice about growing a community. While our cooking stream isn’t particularly big, nor are we particularly successful as streamers, after eight months of streaming on Twitch apparently I have Some Thoughts on the matter. My response to…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! One of the things I like doing every once in a while on stream is going back to recipes I made on my blogs years ago, and trying them out again. Obviously we do that every Saturday, when we remake (and retake the…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! Today was a very, very special day on our Twitch stream: Son’s Twitch debut! While he’s been the voice behind the camera ever since we started, he has never once (purposely) shown his face on stream. Until today. Since it was not only…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! In today’s stream, we had our very first fishcoin reward stream! A little background about fishcoins, since I haven’t mentioned them on the blog before: If you watch my stream live, you earn a point for every ten minutes you watch. There are…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! (Part 2 is here.) Today is National Doughnut Day! I wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary, especially since it’s our first stream back after a two week break. And while I adore doughnuts of all sorts, I don’t love…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! As I’ve mentioned before, I always love the excuse of food holidays when they’re for something I really want to make. Case in point, today’s National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! So of course, chocolate chip cookies were on the menu. (Plus, it’s our…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! Every now and then people ask me, how do I come up with the menu I make on stream? Sometimes there’s a food holiday that sounds tasty, so I use it as an excuse. Sometimes there’s an actual holiday with tasty food I…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! Today’s stream was the last stream before we take a two-week break from streaming, and also a prep stream for a party I’m having tomorrow that ended up never happening because, just like last time, the moment I stopped streaming I got sick.…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! Yesterday, May 10th, was National Shrimp Day! I don’t celebrate all food holidays… but when I do, it’s because I want a good excuse to make something I want to eat. Like shrimp. You’ve all probably guessed by now that we really love…
Missed the stream? Watch it on Twitch! I love it when food holidays give me an excuse to make something that I might not ordinarily have on the menu. We don’t make grilled cheese sandwiches very often around here, but since today’s National Grilled Cheese Day, I had to make…
