🍽️🍜 Kvassamisu! It's like a tiramisu (but really, really different), but with Kvass, and Rīga Black Balzams. More alterations with Biezpiens give this a really Latvian twist! It's seriously delicious, and well worth a go! #cook #cooksky #food #foodsky

🍜🍽️Why is Latvia interesting? because the people and country are like mushrooms. little blooms of information on the surface & a lot below, just like a mushroom, w/ its network of mycelium below the surface. information comes when it wants, or when the conditions are right. #food #foodsky #cooking

🍽️🍜🇱🇻LATVIACORE PIZZA🇱🇻 this is kvass pica W/ ACTUAL POTATO & proper kvass. I highly encourage patience with dough. I was trying to finish for lunch, and slept in so the dough was a little on the chewy side. Latvian food flavours on a pizza is a big win, in my opinion! #food #foodsky #cooking #cooksky

🍜🍽️ I tried making Latvian Kvass boba & it was SO DELICIOUS. It still isn't technically boba, but this Taiwanese delight is getting a Latvian twist w/ Kvass - a drink brewed from rye bread, malted rye, berries, herbs & honey. A big twist w/ the Kvass Boba, Kvass syrup & TEA. #foodsky #food #cooking

🍽️🍜 I made Caviar out of KVASS and it was so delicious! Kvass is a drink brewed from rye bread from Northeastern Europe. I boiled it down and added agar, turning it into little balls like caviar! Plus sour cream and spiced pork, it took on a different life! #cooksky #cook #food #foodsky

🍽️🍜 The best creamy eggs you'll ever taste. I paired these up with an adaptation of the format of welshcakes: a savoury twist with caraway and lavish lashings of butter. The end is definitely welshcake texture; flavour somewhat reminiscent of a welshcake, but firmly savoury. #cooksky #foodsky #food

🍜🍽️ this is essentially apocalypse food. When societal collapse comes, perhaps remember this one 🤣🤣 it does taste really good though. If you don't want to use eggs in the batter, use a linseed egg, and you'll get a tasty textural alternative. #foodsky #food #cooking #cooksky

🍽️🍜 Cook without a recipe: You don't have any actual intention, you're just waiting for that lightning strike of inspiration. Process: smoke, braise w/ apple, carrot, onion, garlic & coriander. Blend juices, shred meat into sauce. Focaccia, cheese, sauerkraut, chilli, mayo. #foodsky #food #cooking

🍜🍽️ Guinness is a food hero, in good measure. Not in good measure, it's incredibly difficult. And so when I marched on with making a guinness sauce, I underestimated 2 things about the sauce: 1) how much sugar I'd need 2) Just how intense the sauce would be when reduced. #foodsky #food #cooking 1/3

🍜🍽️🎂 Egg prices are out of control, so I looked for a replacement. I settled on flaxseed, which when hydrated forms a very egg-white like consistency- and performs in a similar fashion, and works amazingly well in this simple banana and feijoa cake. Recipe to follow! #foodsky #food #cooksky #baking

🍜🍽️ I stumbled upon this puffed halloumi while making the dish in this video -watermelon, puffed halloumi, spicy lime candy, basil, EVOO. But the biggest takeaway is definitely the puffed halloumi. The Halloumi that works best is stuff made only from cow's milk (not traditional) #foodsky #food #cook

🍽️🍜 The beauty of an entree is that it is a cost effective way to experiment with flavours and textures. This: tuna w/ toasted fennel salt, pickled courgette & ruby red kiwifruit, topped w/ herbs & roasted parsnip puree. All up, it cost 10NZD, not bad in the current climate. #foodsky #food #cooking

🍽️🍜 Tequila Croissant Pudding is insanely delicious and will have you feeling all kinds of pain when you try to work it off later. Heres the #recipe- it's a little variable depending on the size of your croissants , but it all tastes good in the end. 1/5 #food #foodsky #cooking #dessert

🍽️🍜 this or that? They're the same dish, but they look slightly different. I think the way a dish is plated can really change the flavour profile. Plating orchestrates the way people approach, and eat a dish. What kind of eating style does each encourage? #plating #food #foodsky #cooking

🍜🍽️ stunt food? Sorta. If you want to save yourself some admin, hammering out a single piece of meat is viable. Just be careful to keep it intact. With lashings of sweet tomato sauce, mozzarella and microherbs its basically a very large parmigiana or schnitzel that works. #foodsky #food #meatsky
