You know all those pretty photos of finished dishes that food bloggers post? This is the behind the scenes: recipe testing, adjustments, and lots of barely legible notes with spills on them!

I have gotten the kindest flood of emails over the last few days about a recipe that ran a couple weeks ago. It works for people, and they like it enough to actually fill out a form on my website and tell me so. It's so unnerving when people use the internet to be nice.

Well, hello! I’m Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her), writer, Asian American journalist & arts & features editor of the North Coast Journal in Humboldt County, CA. I write about food, opinion, social issues, movies & satire/humor (sometimes as a truly shitty cat). Always hungry, frequently joking.

Just found out Lesley Chesterman has a Substack! (Lesley is the Montreal Gazette's former resto critic).

This post is about Canadian legend, (Mme.) Jehane Benoît, who was a cookbook author, public speaker, TV commentator, food journalist and cooking show host. (I remember her Panasonic microwave TV ads)

The post includes the recipe for Mme. Benoit's Orange Sour Cream Cake.

Sometimes it’s not the thoughtfully curated, chef-created goodie that hits the spot. Sometimes it’s a fishfinger sandwich (butter, mayo, salt) that your friend’s kid makes for you that makes your heart skip a beat and your tastebuds dance. Best served at the table you used to sit with her on your knee, feeding her, playing with her and telling her stories.

Who can help me figure out how to open a damn achar bottle that I’ve been struggling and failing to for three days?
I’ve tried the rubber band/heat/water and no go. Help! #food #achar #foodwriter #desi #khana

I knew this slow-cooked beef shank #stew would be good, but it’s even better than I dreamed.
Cheap-ass bone-in beef shank. Cut into cubes, tossed in seasoned flour, browned in olive oil. Sauté chopped white onion & carrots. Throw bones in pot. Add glass or two of good red wine. Turn up the heat till it’s bubbling. Then add water or stock. Bay leaves, Sage, scapes, thyme. Turn heat down & cook for two hours. Adjust salt/pepper to taste. Devour

Because if you can have #shakshuka then you should have shakshuka.

Easiest, most cheery breakfast EVER.
I used tomato and spinach sauce that was left over from pasta two days ago. Tomatoes were canned last summer. Freaking astounding flavour!!
Tossed into a skillet, warmed up. Then cracked in two eggs and smooshed the hot tomatoes on top & then coveted for two minutes. Then… done!! Bloody delicious. Give it a go!

In April 2022 I set up a Little Free Bakery and have been very, very popular with my neighbors ever since. Except possibly one of the kids around the corner who gets mad when I don't time my bakes to when they pass by after school. #seattle #foodwriter

I absolutely have to stop making soup with purple veg. It looks freaking dreadful.

Tastes astounding tho: roasted purple cauliflower & onions, garlic. Fried fenugreek, Garam masala, ginger. 1L veg stock. Blended till velvety.

Right. Now I’ve had a good nose around, got the hang of things a bit and found some excellent people to follow using hashtags (top tip!), I’m going to do another #introduction. So: I’m British but have lived in #Germany since 2010. I’m a #journalist #foodwriter #travelwriter and fan of #food #wine #sustainability #cookbooks #travel and my #cat. In the interest of finding some like-brained people on here, I’m also #bipolar 2 #adhd. Photo of what it looks like round where I live (#Rheinhessen).

I wrote the German contributions to the Nat Geo Traveller Food cover story on harvests for the summer issue, and it’s now been published online. In case any of you like crops. #foodwriter

Snowy mornings demand comforting starts. I was curious to see if I could make oat milk. Blend oats with water: what’s so hard about that? First time I made a slimy undrinkable paste. Turns out you don’t want to blend em more than 10 seconds.
So: blend one date & 750ml water. Then soak handful cashews for an hour in warm water. Drain & rinse, then add & blend. THEN add cup oats & blend. Ghostroaster espresso + Raw cacao = perfect #mocha #food #coffee #travelwriter #foodwriter #twittermigration
