Gluten-Free Whole-Grain Vegan BrowniesBuckwheat flour gives these brownies a unique flavor reminiscent of cinnamon. The brownies get deliciously crisp on the edges while remaining rich and fudgy in the center. If you don’t have Sucanat, you can replace it with turbinado sugar or coconut sugar.
King Satay with Spicy Peanut-Ginger Sauce RecipeMeaty king oyster mushrooms make this dish a win-win for meat eaters and plant eaters. The mushrooms have long, thick stems that you slice into thick strips, skewer, then roast to make satay. Yes! A creamy, gingery peanut sauce brings it all together.
Beef and Guinness StewThe rich, malty flavor of Guinness Stout makes a perfect match for beef. In this classic Irish stew, the ingredients simmer for a while, during which time the beef chuck, onions, carrots, parsnips, and turnips all soak up the earthy broth. Thanks to Margaret M. Johnson, author of seven cookbooks on Irish cuisine, for sharing this classic recipe.
Grilled Pork Belly with Spicy-sweet Korean GlazeThe only way to grill pork belly is to render out some fat first. Otherwise, the fat drips into the grill and creates an inferno that incinerates the meat. A low, slow braise in the oven gets the job done. Then you can grill the belly and get a good, crisp exterior. At the very end of cooking, we like to glaze it with our version of ssam jang, a thick Korean spice paste. Wrap pieces of grilled belly in lettuce leaves with sticky rice, kimchi, and more spice paste and you have a knockout small plate or first course. You can buy ssam jang in Asian markets, but it’s easy enough to stir it up yourself.

I’m riding 200 miles this week with the @wheels_ I’m riding 200 miles this week with the @wheels_of_thyme team and @chefscycle to support @nokidhungry - because for too many kids, summer means hunger. When school meals disappear, 1 in 7 kids who rely on them are left without enough to eat. No Kid Hungry is working to close that gap with summer meals, grocery benefits, and more - and every dollar helps. Please support my ride and help feed more kids this summer. 🙏 Link in bio

Went back in time to the oldest continually operat Went back in time to the oldest continually operating Chinese business in N. America, Loy Sing BBQ meats, in Victoria’s Chinatown, the 2nd oldest Chinatown in the world (San Francisco is the oldest). Loy Sing’s BBQ pork is timeless. Also visited Tam Kung Temple, Canada’s oldest Chinese temple, and sampled some Korean Jjolmyeon (쫄면) before heading to the BC Royal Museum to see a fascinating exhibit on Indigenous languages and art, and east Indian fabric. Managed to squeeze in a boat tour of the Victoria harbor, a local gin martini, and BC oysters before dinner at Zambri’s. Our happily retired 80-yr old boat captain, born and raised in the upper harbor Gorge, gave us quite the history lesson.
Long drive from Ucluelet to Victoria today. But we Long drive from Ucluelet to Victoria today. But we snuck in a bike ride up the coast, supped award-winning chowder at Floating House, paused in Ladysmith to see where Resident Alien was filmed (and buy cinnamon cake donuts), enjoyed dinner at 10 Acres, and watched the Inner Harbor sun set.
100 meters is the official distance to keep from a 100 meters is the official distance to keep from a humpback whale. Today was the second one we saw, by kayak. Plus harbor seals, California sea lions, lots of bald eagles, sea stars, sea cucumbers, anemones and other intertidal life. Just amazing. Lingcod and fiddleheads harvested today were so good and simple, grilled with an herb rub, and sauteed with shiitakes, lemon zest, butter and parsley. Creamy risotto on the side. I ♥️ PNW
