If You Love Almond, This One’s for You 🤟

Published about 8 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

There’s a reason almond flavor is so hard to resist. It’s sweet, nutty, and just a little floral ~ with that lingering marzipan-cherry note that makes you close your eyes for a second. That signature aroma comes from benzaldehyde in bitter almonds… and once you fall for it, there’s no going back.

"I followed the recipe as is & it was so good, my family really liked it! I used pre-shredded cabbage & precut celery & carrots, just chopped those finer. I’m Asian & already had all the spices & sauce ingredients in the pantry.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
