caramelizing onions

September 24, 2020September 23, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 1 Comment

i often forget what a simple, sustainable delight it is to caramelize onions. i've recently turned to red onions for caramelizing as opposed to yellow or white, because that's amy chaplin's go-to move! and i'm assuming it is because red onions have a higher amount of antioxidant compounds than yellow or white onions. and they're … Continue reading caramelizing onions

my two favorite recipes for preparing tempeh

September 13, 2020September 12, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ Leave a comment

a few good sauces

September 11, 2020September 10, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 1 Comment

i've been working from home since 2017, and in that time i've learned to prepare many quick lunches for myself, usually consisting of odds and ends in the fridge or that i've prepped beforehand for this exact occasion. my favorite lunch is one where i simply pull the prepared ingredients out of the fridge and … Continue reading a few good sauces

August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 2 Comments

i've recently found myself out of the mood for cooking, but i have been reading two cookbooks, which are really changing my tune. the first is called vegan for everybody, by america's test kitchen, which i've been using for quick and fresh dinners since last week (i'll write a post about this later). the next … Continue reading breakfast and lunch
