I am sure we have some great cooks and bakers. I am sharing a pic of a Vanilla Bean Brown Butter Cheesecake I fixed last night.

Here's a pic of some Buldak Carbonara I made with
loads of shredded gouda.

Latest baking adventure was a simple one. But I discovered I'm a huge fan of golden syrup. These are called Ginger Crunch which are a ginger shortbread base topped with a glaze made from butter, golden syrup, icing sugar, and ginger powder.

Another recent bake.
Chocolate Peanut Butter brownies with mini Reese's Cups on top.
Thought to share this delicious Japanese street food we had for dinner tonight: okonomiyaki.
A pancake with shredded cabbage topped with bacon. Other toppings are bonito flakes, green onion, corn along with okonomiyaki sauce and kewpie mayo.

On a bit of a baking streak currently. These Gingerbread brownies were a hit at home and at the office

For the first time in years I fixed a favorite Eastern European winter soup called borscht. It has beef, beets, cabbage, potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, and celery. And I like to top it with sour cream and dill and have a side of rye bread. It is a soup that takes a few hours to complete and while it is worth it I now know why I only make this occasionally. Recipe was from The Joy of Cooking.

Our barszcz doesn't have any beef, cabbage and rutabagas, just beets, celery and parsley (also the roots of said celery and parsley). Potatoes are also commonly ate with it.

I may have to try making this myself. I'm actually not sure if I've ever had borscht but it's definitely on the list of things I want to try. I absolutely LOVE beets they are one of my favorite vegetable and highly underrated in my opinion

Xheralt, please share a pic and let us know what you think when you fix it. It is a top three soup for me. If you'd like I can share a pic of the recipe I use. It is from a classic American cookbook called The Joy of Cooking.
Someone insisted I make this tonight. Chocolate chip banana bread.
