Bibimbap

Blossom Lady

Mar 08, 2025 11:23 AM

A Bibimbap is a delicious Korean rice bowl served with succulent meat, sautéed vegetables and topped with a golden fried egg. Serve it in a Korean stone bowl for maximum enjoyment! One of my favourite Korean dishes might just be Bibimbap. And not just any old Bibimbap, but one served in a dolsot, or a Korean stone bowl, which is preheated in the oven and so it keeps your dish sizzling hot right until the last spoonful! I think it might just be the perfect winter dish. Bibimbap is a Korean dish which loos...

These black bean burger bowls have a simple base of lettuce, tomato and pickled onions, only to be topped with cheesy black bean burgers, your favorite condiments and pickle dressing! Yep yep yep. Give me alllll the pickle dressing. I LOVE a good burger bowl or burger salad. There is something so refreshing about the burger on top of crisp lettuce with lots of toppings.

Grilled Radicchio, Corn, and Roasted Tomato Salad

Blossom Lady

Mar 08, 2025 10:58 AM

This salad was the third recipe we tested from Around the Fire, a new cookbook that I bought a few weeks ago. This dish – with it’s smoky-sweet grilled corn, buttery triple cream cheese, bitter radicchio leaves bluntly charred on the grill, and bursts of roasted cherry tomato punctuating each bite – was an instant favorite. For me it captured all of the flavors of the end of summer and crammed them together into a few, harmonious bites. I hope you’ll give it a try when you put your grill for the summer, ma...

Baked Chicken Souvlaki

I’m so excited to share this shortcut chicken souvlaki recipe! You’ll taste all the big, zesty flavors of the classic Greek dish, and the best part is you don’t need to futz around threading skewers or lighting a grill. Start by seasoning boneless chicken with a blend of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and spices. Bake them in the oven, along with cherry tomatoes about 25 minutes, until deliciously browned. I can’t think of times when I’m not craving the seriously delicious Mediterranean flavors that go i...

Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts and Pancetta

Blossom Lady

Mar 08, 2025 10:38 AM

For me, Brussels sprouts is an essential side dish at Christmas. It happens to be an ingredient which is abundantly in season from about autumn and well into the late winter, and I try to cook with it often during this time of the year, although it really does become the star of the show at Christmas. As a side dish, Brussels sprouts happens to work beautifully alongside most main dishes. I love the combination of Brussels sprouts with chestnuts, and the addition of pancetta or bacon gives the dish a lo...

Heirloom Tomato and Sweet Onion Spaghetti

Blossom Lady

Mar 08, 2025 10:14 AM

I was flipping through my favorite cookbooks, looking for tomato-inspiration, when I came across a recipe for Spaghetti with Heirloom Tomatoes, Basil and Bottarga Breadcrumbs in Sunday Suppers at Lucques. While I wasn’t looking for anything as complicated as making homemade breadcrumbs flavored with cured tuna roe on this particular evening, the other flavors in the recipe sounded just right, so I made a few quick modifications and tried it. It was good, but not mind-blowing. But I loved the idea of the di...

Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake

Blossom Lady

Mar 08, 2025 09:33 AM

With a scrumptious and eye-catching pink glaze, this raspberry lemon cake is a stunner when berries are in season. Bundt cakes are a big deal here, and this one doesn't disappoint: the crumb is perfectly tight but soft, the flavors come through without overpowering each other and the glaze is, well, beautiful. Lemon and raspberries in a cake never disappoint. And this cake is definite proof. It's a simple pound cake when it comes to texture, dense but with a wonderful bite. The recipe is old-fashi...
