I first heard of Kalter Hund in 2019. In 2019, the Home Cooking App published an article on German Culinary Classics and published a video series titled Strange German Cuisine. In the video, me and some of my international colleagues had to guess what German food was just “strange” names. The Kalter Hand, or the German “cold dog,” clearly made that list, but fortunately, it’s not as strange as it looks. Calter Hand, sometimes known as the English word “German Hedgehog Slice,” is a simple chocolate and biscuit dessert, and is like a cross between a rich chocolate icebox cake…

I have promised to post a steamed recipe. Check it out for home cook tips. Slowly poached Yin and Yang (Cantonese for Steamed Pork Knuckles) was a regular feature of our Lunar New Year’s reunion dinner. It was one of my mom’s favorite festive dishes. Unlike German roasted pork knuckles, which require a cracked and crispy skin, this Chinese version is in the opposite direction. The skin and fat should be soft, creamy and firm. If you are about to eat (and that is a forbidden word during Chinese New Year), knuckles made this way literally take you to your…

These baked Alancini, golden and crispy on the outside and attractively creamy on the inside, are my views of the classic Italian favorite, and are a bit lighter, but just as comfortable. Instead of deep-fried foods, these are baked until beautifully golden. This means less confusion and out of balance without giving up on a satisfying crunch. The base was a simple homemade risotto, slowly mixed until rich and velvety, then chilled and shaped around a hidden pocket of awful mozzarella. I stir in the sweet green peas at the end of the dish. They bring a lovely brightness to…
