  1. This Greek Lemon Chicken with Potatoes is a beloved dish in nearly every Greek household. It’s a true representation of comforting, homemade food—easy to prepare, full of flavor, and bursting with Mediterranean aromas. What makes this dish so special is its simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients, it delivers a meal that’s hearty, satisfying, and incredibly easy to prepare. Trust me, once you try this recipe, it will quickly become your go-to meal. Whether you’re cooking for your family, hosting friends, or meal-prepping for the week, this dish will never fail to impress. Pair it with a Greek salad or some crusty bread to soak up the juices, and you’ve got yourself a true taste of Greece right at home. Greek Lemon Chicken with Potatoes Ingredients: • 1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces (with bones and skin) • 2 pounds (1 kg) potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise into quarters • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water For the sauce (mix in a jar): • 1/3 cup (100 ml) extra virgin olive oil • Juice of 2.5 lemons • 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard • 1 tbsp oregano • Salt, to taste Instructions: • Preheat your oven to 180°C (380°F). • Place the potatoes in a baking pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. • Add the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the sauce from the jar evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Add the 60 ml water to the jar, swirl to collect the remaining sauce, and pour it along the side of the pan. • Sprinkle the chicken with some black pepper. • Cover the pan with a lid or parchment paper and aluminum foil. Bake at 380 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) for 1 hour and 20 minutes. • Remove the cover and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and the skin is crispy. • During this time, baste the chicken with the juices from the pan 3-4 times to keep it moist and flavorful. • Serve warm and enjoy with a glass of @gratsiwine white wine! Perfect with a simple salad or fresh bread to soak up the delicious sauce. #greeklemonchickenandpotatoes #lemonchicken #greekcuisine🇬🇷

  1. Today’s menu: Gilgeori Toast (Korean Street Toast) I used to work in Pangyo back in Korea, where there was a small street stall that sold this toast for just a couple of hours each morning. Around 8AM, there’d always be a long line of people on their way to work. It was well known in the area, but I never got around to trying it until my colleague bought it for me one morning. It came in a black plastic bag, wrapped in foil to keep warm. It looked pretty heavy for breakfast so I initially said I’ll only take half, but ended up eating the whole thing. It was sweet, savory, warm and so comforting. Like a warm packed lunch made by mom. Now that the weather is cooling down in Melbourne, I found myself craving it again. Not quite the same, maybe a little lighter, but still perfect for a afternoon snack. 👩🏻‍🍳 Korean Street Toast Recipe Ingredients •1/4 cabbage •1 carrot •1–2 green onions •4 eggs •a pinch of salt •4 slices of bread •butter •1 tbsp sugar •ketchup •cheddar cheese •2 slices ham 1.Thinly slice the cabbage, carrot, and green onions. 2.Beat the eggs, add salt, then mix in the vegetables. 3.Toast the bread with butter until golden. 4.In the same pan, add a generous amount of butter and pour in the egg mixture. Cook on low–medium heat until golden on both sides. Keep it thick, and cover with a lid so it cooks through. 5.Assemble: bread, egg patty, sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar, ketchup (and mayo if you like), and add ham & cheese. #Koreanfood #streetfood #gilgeoritoast #길거리토스트

  2. Today’s menu: Ttukbaegi Bulgogi (Stone pot soupy bulgogi) 뚝배기 불고기 Of all the different styles of bulgogi out there, this soupy version served in a ttukbaegi (Korean stone pot) has always been my favorite. There’s something so comforting about spooning the broth over rice and enjoying it with the sweet and savory beef. It instantly warms you up and lifts your spirits when you need it most. Traditional bulgogi marinades usually call for blended apple, onion, or pear, and the beef is marinated for hours. I kept things simple here and swapped it with a bit of strawberry jam which adds the same sweetness but also brings depth and a gentle tang that balances the richness. Plus you don’t need to marinate the beef for long because it’s cooked in a simmering broth so the flavors absorb slowly as it cooks. 👩🏻‍🍳 Ttukbaegi Bulgogi (Ttuk bul) Recipe Ingredients • 500g thinly sliced beef (bulgogi cut) • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced • 1/3 carrots, thinly sliced • Leek (white part only), or spring onion • 30-40g glass noodles (dangmyeon), soaked • 400-500ml water Marinade • 2 tbsp mirim or cooking wine • 4 tbsp soy sauce • 1 tbsp fish sauce • 1 tbsp sugar • 1/2 tbsp strawberry jam • 1/2 tbsp minced garlic • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil • Black pepper • Ginger powder How to Make 1. Soak glass noodles in hot water 2. Thinly slice onion, leek, and carrots 3. Pat the beef dry with paper towels 4. Cut beef into bite size pieces if needed. 5. Mix the beef with all the marinade ingredients until evenly coated. 6. Add onion, leek, soaked glass noodles, and water to the pot 7. Bring to a boil and gently separate the beef so it doesn’t clump. 8. Simmer for about 5-8 more minutes, until the beef is cooked and the noodles are tender.

  3. How to Make Kimchi for Two There are countless ways to make kimchi depending on personal preference and regional traditions. But since most jeotgal(fermented fish) can be difficult to find outside korea, i prefer making a simpler Seoul style kimchi, known for its clean, refreshing flavor. some households use seafood stock to make that refreshing flavor, but to keep things even easier, I’ve used seafood broth from Kfood Amazon store, alongside their gochugaru. Their gochugaru is made from Korean grown peppers and comes in different grinds, from fine powder for soups and sauces to coarse flakes for kimchi. The quality is actually quite noticeable. #AD If making a huge batch feels overwhelming, i really recommend starting with just two cabbages like i do. it’s much more manageable, and you still end up with plenty of homemade kimchi to enjoy for weeks. Kimchi Recipe Ingredients * 2 napa cabbages * 3 cups coarse sea salt * 1/2 radish, julienned * 5–6 spring onions Kimchi Paste * 1 seafood broth powder + 100ml water * 1/2 apple * 1/2 onion * 15 garlic cloves * 1T ginger * 6 red chillies * 1/2 bowl cooked cold rice * 3T plum extract (maesil cheong) * 3T salted shrimp (saeujeot) * 2.5 cups coarse gochugaru * 4T anchovy fish sauce Method 1. Remove the outer cabbage leaves, cut the cabbages into halves or quarters, rinse, and salt between the leaves (only the stem part). 2. Cover with salt water and brine for 6–12 hours until softened. (summer: 6 hrs, winter: 12 hrs) 3. Rinse thoroughly, drain, and let dry for at least 3 hours. 4. Mix the julienned radish with the anchovy fish sauce. Cut the spring onions into bite-sized pieces. 5. Dissolve the seafood broth in 100ml water. 6. Blend the apple, onion, garlic, ginger, red chillies, cold rice, plum extract, salted shrimp, and seafood broth mixture until smooth. 7. Mix in the gochugaru, then add the radish and spring onions. 8. Rub the paste between every cabbage leaf until well coated. 9. Transfer to a container and ferment at room temperature for 24-48 hours before refrigerating. #kimchi #koreanfood #김치
