Beginner Sourdough Sandwich Loaf — Recipes from The Kitchn When you're ready to take your new sourdough starter for a spin, I have just the recipe. Consider this beginner loaf a bridge between regular white sandwich bread and Tartine-style artisan loaves. It uses a few cups of your bubbly sourdough starter along with commercial yeast to add some extra insurance as you're getting used to working with sourdough. How Sour Is My Sourdough? Don't worry if you make this loaf and find that your bread doesn't taste as strongly sour as you expected. The flavor and sourness of your loaf will also depend a bit on your starter itself. I usually make this particular bread on the weekends when I refresh my sourdough starter and use the portion of the starter I'd otherwise be discarding. Tester's Notes: This recipe has needed an update for a while now and I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get to it! If you originally encountered this recipe anytime between now and 2008 when I first posted it, I recommend printing it out again. - Emma, February 2014

Cooking For Engineers - Step by Step Recipes and Food for the Analytically Minded Southern Coconut Cake It’s been somewhat of a stressful week in our house, or at least it started out that way. John is nearly a year old now and has never been a good sleeper. Part of that is because of him, part of it is because of me. I’ve indulged in his bad nighttime behavior for far too long. But last weekend I had had enough. I finally got around to reading the book my pediatrician recommended months ago and found the inspiration and motivation I was looking for. And that’s why it’s been a long week. Then on the fourth night something magical happened. And so I baked a cake to celebrate. This coconut cake recipe has been on my site for a few years now and I thought it needed an update. And underneath the coconut buttercream is a tender and airy white cake scented with coconut milk and coconut flavoring, with a light filling of the buttercream mixed with whipped cream in between each layer of cake. I had a piece of cake this afternoon, and I even gave John a few bites. Why Use Cake Flour? Ingredients

Easy kimchi recipe Hi everybody, I’m introducing “mak-kimchi” to you today! It’s made with napa cabbage (baechu in Korean), pre-cut into bite size pieces, so you can serve it without cutting. This way of making kimchi is really time saving compared to making whole cabbage kimchi. But the taste is exactly the same as whole cabbage kimchi because the ingredients are the same! Since I posted my whole cabbage kimchi recipe in June 2007, so many people have surprised me with their kimchi related stories and questions. For example, Julie made vegan kimchi. I’m surprised to see all these mouth-watering looking kimchi photos! But as you know, the kimchi recipe was not using exact measurements. I didn’t measure when I filmed the first video recipe years ago. : ) Anyway, whenever I was asked the similar questions, I felt kind of bad and a little bit guilty and I always thought I should post a more accurate kimchi recipe. Here you go! So this recipe will be for a total beginner. Q: Maangchi, kimchi never goes bad?
