When I had a lot of time for cooking, I played with the idea of making my own channel called “Kaiti’s Curries” because I love curry so much. I noticed that curry does tend to be heavy and filling. It’s perfect for fall and wintertime! Once spring and summer roll through I can only eat so much of it, but ...
My guilty food pleasure is street foods hands down. I love street food from all places, whether it is the famous taco, or pad Thai, or burgers. It’s all delicious! It tends to be my go-to anytime I can’t think of anything grand to make at home, but I usually end up grabbing take-out. I think I’ve finally found the ...
I’m a vegetarian, not a vegan (I can’t live without butter, sour cream, or ice cream!) but I’m a big fan of Japanese food and can’t wait to try some of the recipes from the brand new Vegan Recipes from Japan cookbook. It’s by German author Malte Härtig. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This ...
When I was in high school, I used to go to my friend’s house almost every day after school. His mom was Filipino, and she would be so excited that guests were over. She was always so eager to cook and feed her guests. It got to a point where she would just make me meals without knowing I was ...
In some places, a singular phrase can illustrate a really complex emotion that can only be described in sentences or even paragraphs. For instance, “wabi-sabi” in Japanese is a word to describe finding beauty in imperfection or things that are unfinished or suffering. Then there is the word “petrichor” to describe the smell once it begins raining after days of ...
Admittedly, I interchange the word “Mediterranean” and “Greek” all the time when it comes to food – It’s wrong! I know! But, did you know that Mediterranean food encompasses areas in Greece, Italy, Egypt, Spain, Turkey, and Syria? The area is so vast that I assumed the flavors don’t overlap, but they do! When we talk about “Mediterranean” the staples ...
I like to pride myself on trying new foods, but I have a confession – I’ve never tried Indonesian food. In fact, I feel like Indonesia is overlooked by many in the Western world. Now, with globalization, we have more adventurous palates than ever and chefs from all around the world who are eager to show us the food they ...
This week I have been struggling with some serious stomach issues. I honestly couldn’t really eat anything without some kind of issue, it was misery. I had enough and decided to flip through my cookbooks. Finally, it dawned on me to make a Korean soup yesterday. I packed it full of kimchi, veggies, tofu, gochujang, the works. Today I woke ...
Have you ever wondered what it is like to eat the Australian way? The thought never truly crossed my mind until I began diving into cookbooks. When I think Australia, I am thinking dangerous animals or lovely people with the best accents – never food. So what is it like to eat like an Australian? (Disclosure: Some of the links ...
Why is French food so intimidating? French cuisine seems to be the pinnacle of baking and cooking – if you can cook that, then you can cook anything. That’s the message I have received at any rate. Even when I visited France, eating a simple baguette from a hotel was obscenely delicious. So, is it really that difficult to cook ...
