I'll share my successes, failures, flat-as-pancake cakes and a bread recipe that magically improves everytime. I'll also be blogging about restaurants, cafes or street stalls that I come across on my upcoming trip through Bali, Malaysia and Vietnam, during my final month in Korea and from back in Auckland.
It's currently -2 in Korea, balmy compared to the -10's and snow we've been having! Last night I put together a hearty beef and red wine casserole and attempted a loaf of handmade white bread. As a bit of a side note, Korea is probably a terrible place to start a food blog- my student flats had cupboards and equipment better suited to cooking...and a real oven too. Cooking here is bare-bones basic cooking...Koreans don't tend to use spices or herbs aside from salt and chili and i'm really missing basil, rosemary and coriander! My 'oven' is a little toaster oven- and a gem- but not entirely suitable for baking...I am looking forward to getting home and heading to the supermarket. For now- Winter Beef and Red Wine Casserole and 1-Day White Bread.
looking forward to this blog :) if you can convince me that kimchi is useable in any passable way, ill be a convert forever :P
ReplyDeleteHaha thank you Johnny! I've tried...turns out kimchi isn't much of a team player! We're off on a trip around SEA soon and will be doing plenty of eating and blogging!
