Trader Joe's Yellow Mini Shake lid off
We Tried Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Yellow Mini Sheet Cake
with Chocolate Frosting! I've been on alert for Trader Joe's Yellow Mini Sheet Cake with chocolate frosting after seeing u/aswewaltz posted it in NY on Reddit 8 days ago. Every trip, I was disappointed. But today...finally... TJ's in the PNW have been blessed with the new gluten free sheet cake. So let's cut into it!…
Trader Joe's Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns bag with bao on a red steamer basket
We Tried Trader Joe’s Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns
I was skeptical when I saw that Trader Joe's newest dumpling was teriyaki-flavored. Teriyaki in a bao? I imagined a gloopy super sweet soy-based sauce overwhelming the veg filling. But now that I've tried Trader Joe's Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns? I think it's meant to be more of a shorthand toward a sweet,…

Milk Street: Tuesday Nights | Cookbook Spotlight

milk street tuesday nights

Milk Street: Tuesday Nights is the June pick for the #RainyDayBitesCookbookClub on Instagram. Since June 8, I’ve made 10 dishes from the book. When you consider there are more than 200 recipes in the book, it’s only a tiny fraction.

Vietnamese Meatball Lettuce Wraps from Milk Street: Tuesday Nights.

Typically, I’ll make 3-4 and then write up some thoughts on the book. But 10 in roughly 2 weeks should give you a sense of how weeknight-friendly these recipes really are. The good news is the recipes are also very global. It’s not just a few pastas and a few stir fries, though those are included. There’s Jollof Rice from West Africa, Lamajoun from Armenia (and Turkey and Lebanon), Tamarind Chickpeas with Greens inspired by Indian street food, Vietnamese Meatball Lettuce Wraps that reminded me of bun cha. And yes, there are a few desserts.

Posole Rojo with Chicken from Milk Street: Tuesday Nights.

Most recipes have been adapted to fit Fast-Faster-and-Fastest timeframes taking 45-50 minutes tops. There are a few exceptions for roasted and braised dishes and the Baking Steel or Stone warm-up time for pizzas.

We’ve enjoyed everything we’re tried so far, but you’ll notice I haven’t cooked any fish dishes. I don’t cook much fish at home, but you should definitely check the #rainydaybitescookbookclub hashtag on Instagram, as others who are cooking along this month have done cod, shrimp, and I think, salmon recipes, too.

Lahmajoun, a meat and roasted pepper-topped flatbread, from Milk Street: Tuesday Nights.

I missed the first challenge of the month, which was a Moroccan Braised Lemon Chicken, but I definitely won’t be missing the second, which is a dessert challenge on June 30. We’ve got the choice of Chocolate Tahini Pudding, Maple Whiskey Pudding Cakes or Puddings Chomeur, a cake-like Quebecois pudding with maple syrup and cream.

As was the case when Christopher Kimball was at America’s Test Kitchen, you either have to subscribe to Milk Street or buy the book to get the recipes. Grabbing it from your library is a great way to start, if you want to try it on for size. I’m sure you’ll find a handful of recipes you’ll want to put into regular rotation.
