Top down shot of three small bowls of popcorn.

Cacio e Pepe popcorn is the best snack ever! Buttery, Parmesan Popcorn topped with loads of freshly ground black pepper. One batch isn’t enough! We are a big popcorn family. My kid asks for popcorn as a snack at least once a week. At some point, we got a little bored with just buttered popcorn….

Kimchi Devilled Eggs

Published on October 5, 2018 by Nicole Last Modified on July 30, 2021 / 3 Comments

Kimchi Devilled Eggs | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

Classic devilled eggs are always a favourite hors d’oeuvre. I simply can’t get enough!  To change things up a bit, this version features the bold flavours of kimchi and gochujang. Hard boiled eggs are underrated.  They’re so darn versatile, yet, they get overlooked.  Eggs in general are a blank slate, and can be transformed into…

Pretzel Bites with Korean Cheese Dip

Pretzel Bites with Korean Cheese Dip | Culinary Cool | www.culinary-cool.com

Making pretzels at home is super easy, especially when you don’t fuss with forming them into the classic pretzel shape.  Pretzel bites are supremely easier, and just as soft, chewy, and crunchy as their full-sized cousins.  Plus, they’re better for dipping in a spicy, Korean cheese dip. I can never pass up a pretzel, which…

Feta and Dill Gougères | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

Gougères, or cheese puffs, are the savoury cousin of cream puffs.  They are light and airy, and make the perfect party snack because you can make them in advance.  My version includes a lemony and creamy feta and dill filling. If I’m looking to put in minimal effort, but still impress the socks off my friends/coworkers/family, I make one of two…
