Try New Dishes with Little Big Flavour Kits

Try New Dishes with Little Big Flavour Kits

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to trying new foods, especially cuisines that you have not tried before, it can be very daunting to make them at home! Often, we have curries when ordering takeaway, but it’s not something we’ve really dived into making too many times before, due to not having much experience in how to make it. It’s the same with side dishes within that type of meal. That’s why we were so excited when Little Big Flavour Kits reached out with their new range of Indian meal kits, which break down how to make the meal and provide all of the different spices for easy use.

I sometimes get into a rut, repeatedly cooking the same dinners. We do have a lot of family favorites, but it’s always fun to try something new! Dann and I have discovered a few brands of gnocchi that we quite enjoy, so we’ve been introducing that into our meals. Along with gnocchi, we wanted to create some meals that allowed our children to top the bowls themselves, introducing new ingredients that they likely haven’t tired before, but making it their choice. So, we have some fun meals that have a lot of customizations!

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

[Ad- gifted experience] While in Helsinki for a work event, we went out to a celebratory dinner to celebrate the end of a fantastic event and a promotion I got within the company! Picking something that sounded and felt like it could be British, we ended up at The Cock. This restaurant is very welcome to people just visiting the area and serves a fun menu with a lot of familiar and classic food. Dann and I both got different starters and mains, for once, off of a set menu that the entire team ordered from. The venue felt cozy, like an upscale pub, and the staff were fantastic.

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Dann and I go to Germany each and every year, specifically to Cologne, for Gamescom as apart of our day jobs. We’ve basically done everything we could possibly go or so we thought! This year, Dann surprised me by finding a new place; Katzentempel Koln, which is a vegan cat cafe, right in Cologne. I absolutely love cat cafes and have been to a few in London. You do not need to pre-book, so we went along in the afternoon during one of the days we were there.

The Art of Burger-Making: Choosing the Right Ground Beef

The Art of Burger-Making: Choosing the Right Ground Beef

Posted on by Contributor

The secret to crafting a perfect burger lies not just in the recipe or cooking technique but in the very foundation: the beef itself. Ground beef comes in many forms, grades, and blends, each impacting the flavor, texture, and quality of your burger. Whether you’re a backyard grilling enthusiast or a culinary perfectionist, understanding how to choose the right ground beef is critical. In this article, we’ll break down the essentials to help you elevate your burger-making game.

Understanding Beef Fat Content: The Heart of a Great Burger

Fat content is arguably the most important factor when selecting ground beef for burgers. It influences everything from flavor to juiciness to how well the patty holds together. For a classic burger, ground beef with a fat-to-lean ratio of 80/20 (80% lean meat and 20% fat) is widely recommended. This ratio strikes the perfect balance between flavor and structure, ensuring that the burger remains moist and flavorful without becoming greasy.
