🍽️🍜 Kvassamisu! It's like a tiramisu (but really, really different), but with Kvass, and Rīga Black Balzams. More alterations with Biezpiens give this a really Latvian twist! It's seriously delicious, and well worth a go! #cook #cooksky #food #foodsky

🍜🍽️Why is Latvia interesting? because the people and country are like mushrooms. little blooms of information on the surface & a lot below, just like a mushroom, w/ its network of mycelium below the surface. information comes when it wants, or when the conditions are right. #food #foodsky #cooking

🍽️🍜🇱🇻LATVIACORE PIZZA🇱🇻 this is kvass pica W/ ACTUAL POTATO & proper kvass. I highly encourage patience with dough. I was trying to finish for lunch, and slept in so the dough was a little on the chewy side. Latvian food flavours on a pizza is a big win, in my opinion! #food #foodsky #cooking #cooksky

🍜🍽️ this sandwich was insane. Latvian ingredients are premium. 🇱🇻🇱🇻 #food #foodsky #cooking

🍽️🍜 kvass is made from bread (this isn't proper kvass) so I'm turning it back into bread! #food #foodsky #cooking #baking

🇱🇻🍽️🍜 a good quality sour cream can be used to make a really delicious butter, with delicious sour notes. mix it in with garlic and herbs, and we're away laughing! #foodsky #food #cooking

🍜🍽️ This is what I'll be drinking this summer: The Bitterol Pearl Spritz! What is it? Bitterol (Aperol) Pearls made from agar agar and Aperol, with sparkling wine! #foodsky #food #drinks #cocktails

🍽️🍜 here's one straight out of left field: you're on a huge log raft, floating down the river in 🇱🇻Latvia🇱🇻 for 3 days in 4°C and persistent rain. What do you eat? Check out the full video to see what we did: youtu.be/wynYTAxICXo #cooking #foodsky #food #adventure

🍜🍽️ I tried making Latvian Kvass boba & it was SO DELICIOUS. It still isn't technically boba, but this Taiwanese delight is getting a Latvian twist w/ Kvass - a drink brewed from rye bread, malted rye, berries, herbs & honey. A big twist w/ the Kvass Boba, Kvass syrup & TEA. #foodsky #food #cooking

🍽️🍜 I made Caviar out of KVASS and it was so delicious! Kvass is a drink brewed from rye bread from Northeastern Europe. I boiled it down and added agar, turning it into little balls like caviar! Plus sour cream and spiced pork, it took on a different life! #cooksky #cook #food #foodsky

🍜🍽️ a basic quick pickle to get the show on the road. No time for fermentation, I just want something with a nudge of juniper. Pickles are a way of life here, and I'm happy to join in. #foodsky #food #cooksky

🍽️🍜 The best creamy eggs you'll ever taste. I paired these up with an adaptation of the format of welshcakes: a savoury twist with caraway and lavish lashings of butter. The end is definitely welshcake texture; flavour somewhat reminiscent of a welshcake, but firmly savoury. #cooksky #foodsky #food

🍜🍽️ this is essentially apocalypse food. When societal collapse comes, perhaps remember this one 🤣🤣 it does taste really good though. If you don't want to use eggs in the batter, use a linseed egg, and you'll get a tasty textural alternative. #foodsky #food #cooking #cooksky

🍽️🍜 Cook without a recipe: You don't have any actual intention, you're just waiting for that lightning strike of inspiration. Process: smoke, braise w/ apple, carrot, onion, garlic & coriander. Blend juices, shred meat into sauce. Focaccia, cheese, sauerkraut, chilli, mayo. #foodsky #food #cooking

🍜🍽️ Guinness is a food hero, in good measure. Not in good measure, it's incredibly difficult. And so when I marched on with making a guinness sauce, I underestimated 2 things about the sauce:
1) how much sugar I'd need
2) Just how intense the sauce would be when reduced. #foodsky #food #cooking 1/3

🍜🍽️🎂 Egg prices are out of control, so I looked for a replacement. I settled on flaxseed, which when hydrated forms a very egg-white like consistency- and performs in a similar fashion, and works amazingly well in this simple banana and feijoa cake. Recipe to follow! #foodsky #food #cooksky #baking

🍽️🍜 German food, outrageously tasty. I ate five of these hot pork sandwiches at a Christmas market in Nürnberg, totalling 25 euro (a bargain by today's standards!) but this round I decided to take matters into my own hands #food #foodsky #tastyfood

🍜🍽️ I stumbled upon this puffed halloumi while making the dish in this video -watermelon, puffed halloumi, spicy lime candy, basil, EVOO. But the biggest takeaway is definitely the puffed halloumi. The Halloumi that works best is stuff made only from cow's milk (not traditional) #foodsky #food #cook

Haha it's a fairly normal selection tbf, probably the only odd thing apart from different coloured kiwifruit would be feijoas. But worth a visit for the mountains and beaches for sure!

🍽️🍜 The beauty of an entree is that it is a cost effective way to experiment with flavours and textures. This: tuna w/ toasted fennel salt, pickled courgette & ruby red kiwifruit, topped w/ herbs & roasted parsnip puree. All up, it cost 10NZD, not bad in the current climate. #foodsky #food #cooking

🍽️🍜 Tequila Croissant Pudding is insanely delicious and will have you feeling all kinds of pain when you try to work it off later. Heres the #recipe- it's a little variable depending on the size of your croissants , but it all tastes good in the end. 1/5
