Instant Pot Ricotta… Kind Of!

Suzie the Foodie — Sat, 20 Jan 2018 05:15:39 +0000

Learning how to make ricotta is on my Foodie Bucket List and I have been so intimidated to make it. I know it is not hard but still, I fought the urge for a long time. Until! I discovered “Do-It-Yourself-Ricotta” in the cookbook How to Instant Pot by Daniel Shumski. Perfect I thought! This will make […]

Homemade Shoyu Ramen Made In The Pressure Cooker

When I recently went out for ramen with friends, I realized that I truly wanted to learn how to make it from scratch. My friend Vicky told me how hard it was to make the noodles so I decided to buy those but make everything else. It was also the perfect way to product test […]

Super Soft & Delicious Pretzels

Suzie the Foodie — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 23:42:57 +0000

After having the most amazing time at Oktoberfest I was all inspired to learn how to make my own soft pretzels which was on my Foodie Bucket List. I did some research and watched this video by Crouton Crackerjacks which was very revealing. My friends Shayna and The Happy Whisk also helped me with some tips so I […]

Suzie the Foodie’s Pad Thai

Suzie the Foodie — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 17:24:49 +0000

I did it! I finally created a Pad Thai that tastes like restaurant quality and has that authentic flavour. It did not come easy though (check out my how NOT to make Pad Thai post). I got some help from the Craftsy class Thai Cooking Essentials with Robert Danhi but I totally ended up going off on […]

How NOT To Make Pad Thai

Suzie the Foodie — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 17:15:33 +0000

Looks good, right? Sadly… No. This was my first attempt at making Pad Thai for my Foodie Bucket List and I did so much wrong! Was it edible? Absolutely. But there were so many mistakes!!! Instead of hiding them in shame I am going to make sure you do not make them too. Tamarind Paste To […]

Strawberry Milk Chocolates & How To Temper Milk Chocolate

Suzie the Foodie — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 00:00:20 +0000

My mixed media class came to a close so I decided to make a treat for all my artsy friends. It has been too damn hot to bake (and do not get me started on the air quality this summer due to forest fires) so I decided to take the plunge into chocolate making! Not […]

No Fail Salted Caramel Sauce

Suzie the Foodie — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 23:11:34 +0000

Technically this is a bit of a cheat when it comes to making caramel sauce so I would not say it technically fulfills my Foodie Bucket List. Still! This sauce is fairly easy, fast and perhaps a little salty caramel sauce. Why salty? The original recipe calls for brown sugar and I knew that it […]

Foodie Bucket List: The Classic Cobb Salad

Suzie the Foodie — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 16:59:58 +0000

When I decided to make a Cobb salad from my Foodie Bucket List I naively thought it was going to be a simple challenge. How hard could it be? But just like this scene from my favourite foodie movie Julie & Julia, everyone seems to enjoy this classic salad differently. First Attempt I found this […]

Cast Iron Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

Suzie the Foodie — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 23:48:09 +0000

I have always wanted to bake a dish in my cast iron skillet and decided to also complete a goal on my Foodie Bucket List: cobbler! What is cobbler exactly? “… a fruit or savoury filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a batter, biscuit, or dumpling (in England) before being baked“. I […]
