Recreating the oh so delicious DiNic’s @tommydinics #roastporksandwich paying homage to one of the best sandwiches in the US! They’re the best but this one is pretty darn delicious. #roastpork #sandwich

Another fancy @tastykake #krimpets creation. This one is pistachio rose. Rose water scented cake along with frosting and a pistachio crumble topping for a fun flavorful crunch. #yum

Playing around with upscale homemade @tastykake #krimpets this one is sake and sesame. I reduced sake to a lovely glaze and soaked the cake plus used some for the frosting. I made a sesame brittle and infused more frosting with sesame as well. #yum Mega fan of the OG butterscotch jawn and had to get in the lab for dev inspiration.

Another killer sammie for the LA cafe project. This veggie torta is all California with fresh thinly sliced radishes, cucumbers, beets, tomatoes and red onions with a healthy mix of sprouts and greens plus a little queso fresco crumble. The kicker is the dressing-a toasted cumin and garlic vinaigrette! #sandwich #veggie #creative #vegetarianrecipes

More @minorfigures oat milk 🥛 play with these oat milk cakes! All the dairy from the icing to the batter has been substituted with oat milk-it’s awesome 😎 🧁 #oatmilk #cakes #cakesofinstagram #dairyfree

Leftover latke fun in the lab! Stuffed lakes with apple walnut cream cheese with a touch of honey and horseradish (secret ingredient). #leftovers #latkes #latkesfordays #latkesforbreakfast #alldaylatkes

Are you hamming it up this holiday weekend? 🐖 Switch up your glaze with something a little more zippy. I made this garlicky chili pepper glaze for my ham and it’s awesome👌sauce (literally). #ham #easter #spicy #garlic #delicious

Later lab post (from this past weekend) for an LA cafe project-this all day breakfast sandwich has it all...crispy chorizo patties, Oaxaca cheese 🧀, hard boiled eggs, radishes, greenage and achiote mayo (made a achiote vinaigrette and whisked in some dukes!-so damn good) #breakfast #breakfastsandwich #chorizo #sandwich

Whatcha do when you have excess carrot cake batter? Make carrot cake loaf. What happens when you have too much carrot cake loaf? Make carrot cake popsicles 🥕 🤘...always finding ways to use the leftovers in the lab. #carrotcake #popsicles #frozentreats #leftovers

Spring carrot cake creations 🥕 🧁. Switched up the recipe a bit and dev’d a garam masala-style sugar glaze to drizzle on top. The end result is fragrantly sweet with a fun kick. #carrotcake #muffins #garammasala #springsweets

Easter candy is everywhere! I can’t help myself when it comes to those @reeses chocolate pb Easter eggs 🐣! Which got me thinking...how cool would it be to make a chocolate Swiss roll filled with creamy peanut butter? Tadaaa! I need to work a little on my cake swirl but it eats well 🤗 #chocolate #peanutbutter #peanutbutterbreath #homemade #swissroll

Jazzing up the classic carbonara with the addition of crab cakes! Gotta celebrate the seasonal kick off of blue crab season 🦀 and what better way than bacony rich carbonara! #carbonara #pasta #noodleworship #crab #crabcakes #marylandcrabs

Got a chance to develop some recipes using the mega popular @minorfigures oat milk! Here I dev’d oat milk gelato that still has that silky fatty goodness we all love ❤️ 🍦 thanks @alexknowshtml for being my hand model! #oatmilk #gelato #frozentreats #warmweatherplease

Cooking Italian food in India! Later lab creation of shrimp all'Amatriciana. #pasta #cookingabroad #allamatriciana #wineandpasta

Happy Fryday! For all you bang bang shrimp fans out there (whatever marketing person came up with that recipe name...shame) I present Sweet and Spicy Dipped Fish (and Chips). Beer tempura battered white fish fried crisp and dipped in a concoction of kewpie mayo, aged rice vinegar and sweet chili sauce. Fries brought to you from the bottom of my deep freezer (thanks Ore-Ida). #fishandchips #spicy #fryday #oreida

Farro Fried Rice is a unique hearty grain twist. There is a nice toothsome bite to farro that adds a lil’ something something to classic, otherwise typical, rice dishes. I like it. Instead of stir frying the eggy in, I poached it-giving in to some velvety mouthfeel. Oozy egg fan that I am. #farro #friedrice #poachedegg #friedricewithegg

Irish soda bread ❤️. Later lab post and wishing I still had this loaf around-remake imminent. I do have the hand model tho! The talented @karalafleur lent her cheffy hands and arms (notice the casual drape of the cloth to block burns from view-couldn’t get all of em) Xoxoxo, beaujbeauj. #baking #sodabread #bread #cheflife

Persian Egg and Leek Frittata is on the menu in the lab. Cast iron cooked, this flavorful frittata is mostly herbs with a hearty mix of cilantro, dill and parsley. Topped with a little bit of cumin spiced savory yogurt and pomegranate seeds. 😋 yum yum! #frittata #kukusabzi #breakfast #brunch #breakfastideas #breakfastrecipes

Grilled Peri Peri Chicken Shawarma has me wishing for warmer weather. What’s nice about this dish is that the spice is so warming that it almost works...if you squeeze your eyes shut and try to forget that you’re wearing 12 layers and that it’s negative ridiculous outside. Grilling indoors is naturally frowned upon but I sometimes use the ‘grill’ side of one of my cast iron griddles for a similar summer effect. Stay warm everybody!

My Breakfast in the style of Bibimbap. I ❤️ everything about bibimbap-the tangy kimchi, the bottom o’ bowl rice cracklins, silky egg goo, crisp veggies, rando delicious banchan-like, bibimbap is what all those cereal commercials WISHED they were when they said “part of a well balanced breakfast”. So how did I breakfast-ize bibimbap? I just added ground breakfast sausage and whisked a bit of high-grade maple syrup (instead of traditional sugar) with my gochujang sauce. Bingo! Breakfast!
Thank you Helen Kang for showing me the path to great Korean food!
