Show and/or tell us about what you’re cooking and/or eating this week!
I made mooncakes for the first time yesterday, I wanted to be ready to make them for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I’ve been buying them for a long time and decided to finally make them myself.
They’re not as difficult as I expected, actually. Since the cakes are molded there’s some nuance to getting the dough the right thickness. Making them at home gives an incredible variety of options for fillings; I did purple sweet potato, cheesecake, and matcha.
YUM!
I like to eat cucumber on spreads.
I’ve been making this cucumber salad a lot recently. It’s a good summer dish.
Ingredients: Cucumber Celery Pickled Red Onions (done with apple cider vinegar, garlic, cardamom pod, coriander seed, cumin seed, black peppercorn) Garlic/Rosemary infused Olive Oil Sunflower seeds Fresh cracked black pepper
Oh, hey, I have a cucumber and no plans for it. I have all those ingredients. Now that a cuke has a destiny. Thanks for the recipe.
