June 2023 Review
Did you miss these recipe bangers?
I hope your 4th of July 🇺🇸 was fun, tasty and delicious.
If you’re new to this ‘stack go back as I dropped 4 recipe newsletters back-to-back(x2) with summer festive recipes for the 4th of July holiday, then gave everyone a break to recover this last week.
Recently I’ve been pulling previous years recipes in the monthly reviews so they don’t get forgotten since there are so many recipes now.
Here’s what you may have missed in June from around the world of Cooking with Octopod
Hemingway Burgers & His Daq
I’ve recently discovered that Hemingway was quite the gourmand BITD. I was aware of the famous Hemingway Daquiri (which I love for the no-sugar-added, boozey citrus qualities) and then found this unique burger recipe that I shared to end the month.
It’s a great riff on the Trad burger to try… highly recommend!
Summer Dill Pickles
These are not your run-of-the-mill dill pickled cucumbers.
This recipe uses fresh, in season, summer zucchini. Cut into spears and I give you the trick for making sure your pickles aren’t mushy 🙌
A sleeper recipe not to be missed!
Most Underrated Kitchen Gadget
I’m not a gadget guy but this tool is a must-have IMO and few people think of it.
It’s also Prime-Day right now so I’m sure there’s a discount!
Hong Kong Scrambled Eggs
From my latest excursion to Asia, it was high time I featured one of my favorite breakfasts in the world… Hong Kong scrambled eggs.
I walk you through THE place to get this in HK and also a recipe to try at home.
‘Well Done’ Rare Steak
As summer is here, nothing slaps quite like a good steak tartare and this adaptation is from the legendary 21 Club in NYC.
Rounding out the month I posted a full menu with past recipes for Father’s Day that can be made anytime this summer for a serious feast as well as the best recipe ever for chocolate cream pie 🤤
A legendary a tasty June for Cooking with Octopod all around… here’s some past June recipes you don’t want to forget:
Summer Corn with Bone Marrow 🌽
Marinated Vegetables 🍅 🧅 🥒
Grilled Whole Fish Over Coals ⬇️
