Vegan/keto(?)/paleo wraps challenge! I’ve made the red lentil wraps on Twitch before, with surprisingly good results. It’s not what I would consider keto because of the relatively high starch content, but some people can get away with 50-100 net grams of carbs per day. The flaxmeal is very promising and very keto – this is… Continue reading 2025-07-28

I doubt I’ll make both versions on Twitch today, but the keto banana bread is surprisingly good.  

S05E19 Amygdalopita (Greek almond cake) Proper recipe card TBA, but here’s the recipe, as per the video, and the bunch of times I made it for my sister who seems to be addicted to it.

If I happen to have enough dough left over, I might make a lattice for the apple pie, brush egg yolk on it, sprinkle sugar on top. Because my… Continue reading 2025-07-11

Steak & fried croquettes. Pan-fried steak. The usual method of getting a decent roast, trimming it, cutting into 1.5″ steaks, salting  both sides, let it chill for a while, rinse, fry in a bit of oil, finish with garlic, butter, rosemary. For an bonus, I’ll be deglazing the pan with a bit of liquid –… Continue reading 2025-07-07

In a huge pot, put in 1 litre water per 100g of spaghetti (5 cups per 4 oz). Bring water to full boil, then add the pasta. Salting raises the boiling temperature, and pre-seasons the pasta water if you’re using it in a sauce, and does add some seasoning to the pasta .. this was… Continue reading 2025-06-30

Tonight will be a speedrun. No time to marinade, quick basting instead of flipping the chicken every 15 minutes, and the assorted roast veg will be cooked on the side. Depending on what’s in my fridge, I might throw together a quick salad. This meal is very budget-friendly, somewhere around $7.00 CAD/5.50 USD per plate,… Continue reading 2025-06-20
