Happy Chinese #valentines day! In dire need of roses to confess to the love of your life? These peach roses are more than happy to be your wing-person 😉 • • • Nothing screams summer lovin like a juicy peach! These guys are super easy to make (simply take thinly sliced peaches, line ‘em up, and roll!) and can really add that extra oomph to your bakes. My favorite way to use these is to cram as many as I can in a pie shell before baking with some ginger syrup & butter. What about you? • • • #bradandbutter #dessert #sweetooth #foodgawker #buzzfeedfood #kitchn #foodporn #foodpics #instafood #foodstagram #f52swirl #f52grams #bonappetit #yum #eeeeeats #eater #fruit #peach #howisummer #summer #blogger #collegeblogger #collegestudent #bloggerlife #cornellsha Can’t decide between sweet & savory? These Salted Egg Yolk Macarons are your be all end all. • • • Fermenting and curing are culinary techniques that have not only been around for ages, but are also a common technique across different cultures & cuisines. In China, salted egg yolk is a go-to ingredient that is essentially an umami bomb. Although I’m not much of a believer in superstition (but I am SUCH an Aries), these little jewels are said to resemble the moon and are often baked in Chinese pastries. Check out my post, The Aries Achilles, to find out more about one of my favorite Chinese delicacies as well as my internal struggles with being an Aries.

While the origin of steeped tea can be traced back to thousands of years ago, the beverage has found its way into modern culture and tradition. Read more to find out how tea has become an essential component of Chinese lifestyle.

Take on the recipe to find out what secret ingredient makes this cake a real flavor bomb! • • • Every dish has it’s history. Brad & Butter: The Essentials III encompasses what origin is to a specific dish and how a deeper understanding of what we put in our bodies is important. Since every ending is also a new beginning, this week’s bake also introduces my new organizational strategy: monthly concepts! Next month’s concept will be “origin”. Join me on an adventure to discover and dive into the origins of food, drink...and me!
