Wilder Rant: Fancy Food Nation
Wilder rant alert, people. I merely tried to cook dinner. It didn’t go well. I wish I had a nice red wine to wash the taste of failure from my mouth, but alas…I do not. Ice cold green tea will have to suffice. There is nothing, absolutely nothing more awkward than messing up a recipe with the words “fool proof” in the title. I mean, it hurts almost as bad as having emotionally unavailable parents. I bet they’d love me if I could properly pan sear sea scallops, but I digress. This self-confidence shattering experience has brought me to the topic of this Wilder rant. When did cooking become so flipping pretentious? Has it always been this way? It is possible that it has. I will contend the advent of social media and blogging has opened the door for people with the most amazing boiled water recipe to think they are master chefs. I have seen identical banana nut bread recipes, but one of them is haughty enough to declare their recipe the best.

Breakfast for... Breakfast?
Firstly I'd like to state that this is my first story/recipe/whatever-I-want-to-call-it, so therefore if you are interested in reading more, then I'm sorry you must truly be delusional. That being said, I hope you enjoy the amalgamation of witless banter and bad decisions that is going to follow. Good luck.

Battenberg
Battenberg may seem intimidating when you first try to attempt it, I felt the same way when I first tried. I've been on the hunt for a recipe that tastes good, yields a professional looking cake but isn't ludicrously complicated. This is what I came up with.

Recipe | Chocolate Cake With Whipped Orange Filling
I made this particular cake for Father's Day. But of course you can make this any time and change the decorations. I know that my dad loves chocolate cake, so I was on the hunt for the perfect chocolate cake recipe. In the past, I have always struggled to get a chocolate cake to rise well during the baking process. For the design that I had planned, I needed to have the cake rise whilst baking. But I know that chocolate cakes are notorious for not rising much. You see my problem? I also know that chocolate cakes can be rather dry. So, I had a few different features of chocolate cakes that I wanted to avoid and I think I achieved that with this recipe.

Instant Pot Cinnamon Honey Carrots
In my quest to find as many delicious Instant Pot recipes as possible, I have found perhaps the holy grail of carrot recipes. I am a huge fan of carrots. It’s possibly one of the best side dishes ever and always comes to mind whenever reminiscing about family dinners or events. Now those dinners were usually with my grandmother’s secret brown sugar glazed carrot recipe but the sweetness of the brown sugar is not missed one little bit. Perhaps the next recipe I cover will be my grandmother's grown sugar glazed carrots.

Doughnuts and Me
Hi there! This is my first post and I could think of nothing better to yarn on about than my passion for baking doughnuts. My name is James and I have been baking from the age of 7. While my peers were out playing football or swapping Pokemon cards after school, I was in the kitchen making a mess (to the despair of my poor Mother). For years Mum was telling me, "Look James, you're fantastic at making cakes and I love eating them, but if you don't learn to clean up after you, I am going to have to take your wooden spoons and mixing bowls away". Over 15 years later I am still making a mess in the kitchen but to my Mother's delight, I have now learnt what a dishcloth is and does.

Simple Late Night Recipes
Have you ever had one of those nights where you are just too exhausted to take a long time making very big meals? Here are a few quick meals that will set your taste buds in motion. The first meal is a mixture with black beans, green beans, and black-eyed peas. A can of each thoroughly rinsed poured into one Medium sized or larger pan. Add a little butter or substitute for butter, just enough to absorb into the ingredients. Add soul food seasoning along with cumin. About a half of a teaspoon for the soul food seasoning and a pinch of cumin.

Gluten and Dairy Free Chicken Recipes
Many people on a dairy-free diet find real butter does not bother them when eaten on occasion. I am one of them and so you will find some recipes calling for real butter. If you avoid butter, please simply replace this ingredient with your butter replacement alternative or a healthy oil of your choice. I find avocado oil is a nice replacement when butter is called for.

Bougie Clams and a Costco Table
Fennel and quartered onions sweat. Enter a healthy dash of coriander for good measure. A good glug of Grigio gets the crispy bits off of the bottom. My grandma’s enameled pot is a fickle mistress. Corn and potatoes are optional. The butter, however, is not. This isn’t a piece for vegetarians; you can read on, but some animals were hurt in the making of this piece. Bivalves to be specific.

Strawberries and Chocolate Milk Overnight Oats
I have not at all stopped eating overnight oats, whenever I have the chance to make a nice jar of that wonderful breakfast. A few days ago, however, I found a delicious new way of eating overnight oats. Instead of regular milk, I used chocolate milk.
