What a wonderful meal. I add a few extra steps such as parboiling then pan frying the potatoes. But it’s well worth it!
I love sharing classic recipes with perfected techniques. Hope you give them a try!

Arugula Salad with Honey Basil Vinaigrette
What a beautiful dressing! Made with fresh basil. This salad is inspired by Stella’s Arugula Salad – a salad from a local restaurant chain. So delicious and vibrant!
Flavourful Pasta al Pomodoro
Such a flavourful recipe. Hard to believe it takes so little hands on time. Other than allowing the sauce to simmer for close to an hour, you only need about 10 minutes (or less) of active cooking. One of our favourite dishes!
Japanese Cake Roll
This recipe has a lot of steps but by no means is difficult. Once you remember the process, this cake is easy and quick to make and it’s so easy to change up and make different variations (matcha, lemon, strawberry, raspberry, etc.) To my surprise, this is my husband’s favourite […]
Chocolate Japanese Cake Roll
Delicious and really not that hard to make.
Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
I don’t fully understand why this dessert is called “Strawberry Pretzel Salad.” I don’t really look at it as a salad! Very pleasing dessert. Total crowd pleaser. This recipe has just a hint of pretzels on the bottom. Some might say not enough. I used to think it wasn’t enough. […]
Pasta alla Genovese
And just like that this dish became a family staple. Not only is it elevated and worthy of a date night, it’s also exceptionally kid friendly!
The Best Chocolate Cake recipe - The Original Iconic 1886 Chocolate Buttermilk Cake, a recipe that’s stood the test of time and influenced countless modern creations.
While many recipes tweak proportions or add elements like espresso powder, they all share the same core formula of this Legendary 1886 Creation; which uses ingredients like buttermilk, cocoa powder, and hot coffee. This recipe was developed over a century ago and has evolved into various forms, becoming the foundation for many modern recipes. Let's take a moment to celebrate this legendary cake! The recipe with my own tweaks and tips can be found on my blog food400.com
Secrets to the Perfect Chocolate Cake 🍫✨
Measure Correctly: Spoon flour and cocoa into measuring cups and level off—never scoop! This prevents a dense cake.
Bloom Cocoa Powder: Hot coffee or water mixed with cocoa in the batter unlocks cocoa's full flavor and richness.
Room Temp Ingredients: Make sure eggs, buttermilk, and butter are at room temperature for a smooth batter and even rise.
Don’t Overmix: Combine wet and dry ingredients gently to keep the cake light and airy.
Use Soaking Syrup: Brush layers with simple syrup for extra moisture and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The Right Leavening: Use the exact amounts of baking soda and baking powder. Too much can cause the cake to rise quickly and then collapse; too little, and it’ll be dense.
It’s fascinating how a single recipe has stood the test of time and evolved, but it’s important to acknowledge its origin and history.
