Is June, it's time to pick sour cherry from the farm . I've been lucky enough to find this family farm 1 hour drive distance from our home - in a matter of week, sour cherry will be gone especially only 1 place near by has this tree on their farm.

I love making pickles, any kind.. and this is a very first time I make kimchi (Korean Style Pickle) . Actually is easy to just visit Korean Store near by and get one, but cooking is in my DNA - I see many videos and recipes before I make my own kimchi. The recipe comes from Maangchi, owner of Korean cooking website.
I slightly copy the recipe with a little adjustment since I Nisa-momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02364841296426400040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016001613883535971.post-62709625744011858602017-02-15T14:08:00.001-08:002017-02-15T14:09:28.424-08:00Pandan Ogura Cake
I've been itch to try pandan ogura cake since I saw some fellow blogger post about this cake. Pandan Ogura cake is kind of similar to chiffon cake which the cake texture is kind of airy , the different is baking method - as we called water bath method, which there is steam needed to help cake baked. And also add a natural food color, from pandan extract. &Nisa-momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02364841296426400040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016001613883535971.post-32456531919765803332017-02-09T12:45:00.000-08:002017-02-09T12:54:06.370-08:00Persian Dolmeh
