Food, Recipes, and Coffee

My recipe for an impressive but really easy to make two-layer chocolate cake. Based on some common recipes but with a few modifications.

A slightly healthier (well, less intensely sweet and buttery) coffee cake recipe, just like in Seinfeld’s episode where they mention “Drake’s” coffee cake.

My recipe for chocolate babka. Another babka? I think not.

My recipe for a kick-ass family-sized Australian-style meat pie.

My recipe for salad olvieh/olivier, a potato and chicken salad common in Iran but also generally in Eastern Europe.

My adaptation of Sally’s Dark Chocolate Mousse Layer Cake, clarified and simplified slightly, plus adapted for Australian ingredients.

My recipe for chocolate and almond cantucci. Again, nothing particularly special about this recipe. But it works and I wanted to record it for people who ask for it.

Incidentally healthy banana bread. Pretty good, pretty healthy.

Everything I’ve learned about making great burgers at home — from choosing the right meats, to smashing judiciously, to applying the right sauces. And much more.

My recipe for tiramisu, tailored for Australian ingredients.
