February 11, 2021 by Nicole 11 Comments

Four empanadas on a rectangle cooling rack, with two small dishes full of salsa and avocado sour cream

Turkey Taco Empanadas bridge two things kids love – tacos and finger food. This Family Day long weekend get the kids in the kitchen and make a batch together. This post is sponsored by Turkey Farmers of Canada. As always, all opinions are my own. My daughter is finally at the stage where she’s interested…

Kimchi Devilled Eggs

October 5, 2018 by Nicole 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…

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Kimchi and Bacon

October 1, 2018 by Nicole 14 Comments

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Kimchi and Bacon | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

Roasted brussels sprouts are a classic side dish.  This version gets a punch of flavour from fresh ginger and kimchi. I haven’t always been a lover of brussels sprouts.  The one and only time I remember having them as a kid, they were boiled nuggets of mush, and served with Cheez Whiz.  I’m fairly certain…

Pretzel Bites with Korean Cheese Dip

April 26, 2018 by Nicole 17 Comments

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

December 21, 2017 by Nicole 6 Comments

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…
