Eating Tex-Mex food is an absolute favorite in my family, and I am sure it goes for most families. There’s a huge variety of ingredients and toppings, and you can pick whatever you like and skip what you don’t like. But what is the quintessential condiment that you cannot miss in your Tex-Mex dinner? Salsa, of course. This is my amazingly easy homemade salsa recipe.

I created this salsa for my recipe for Texmex tacos, which you can find here. It’s a dual recipe for a Mexican street food taco and a Tex-Mex taco. Which one is better?

Don’t you just love a bowl of plain yogurt with wonderful muesli or granola on top? Served with a good dollop of honey and an excellent V60 or Chemex cup of coffee. I love it too. So why not combine that with bread? That’s what I’ve done here, and to make it even better it’s even sourdough bread. This is my recipe for granola sourdough bread.

Muesli bread is a staple in Danish cuisine, but it’s more like a sweet or a dessert-like bread that you’d eat with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I wanted to take it in a different direction, so my bread is less sweet, has a much more flavorful crumb, and man, those toasted nuts and seeds are just a treat.

Oatmeal is a wonderful thing to eat. It’s creamy, warm, and add cinnamon sugar and a good knob of butter on top and you’re golden. Did you know that it’s also wonderful if you put it into bread? This is my recipe for oatmeal sourdough bread.

Oatmeal bread is a very American thing. Porridge was a great way to fill the stomach before going out into the fields and if some of it was leftover it was an obvious choice to not throw it out, but to add it to your bread when baking the daily bread.

Did I mention it’s also delicious?

There is so much amazing food in the world, every cuisine has its special thing to bring to the literal table. I have an affinity for food from Asia, as you’ve probably noticed if you come here regularly. This one is a total doozy. This is my recipe for gua bao.

Gua boa is an amazing Chinese dumpling. It’s made from a disc of dough that’s folded in half and then steamed. After steaming it’s filled with various delicious meats, pickled and fresh vegetables, sauces, ground nuts, or seeds.

I decided I would make three variations of the buns, to serve every need. The traditional gua bao is a version made with sourdough discard for extra flavor and a gluten-free version for those people who cannot otherwise enjoy the bready goodness that is a dumpling.

White bread is one of those wonders of the baking world, but it seems hard to get great results at home. The bread is dense, it doesn’t get the right caramelization and it’s pretty tasteless. This bread solves all of those problems. This is my recipe for sourdough Japanese milk bread.

The Japanese aren’t traditionally bread eaters, they have limited room for fields and they have an ocean bountiful of wonderful fish, so that’s a no brainer.

During the 20th Century, the Japanese have shown themselves to be masters of being inspired by and adapting food trends from all over the world, and they always take things to the max. Think the Indian-inspired Katsu Curry, or in this case the French pain de mie.
