Flavours of My Kitchen
Recipes, memories, and everyday meals made from what’s on hand
Kitchen Memories
Authentic Vietnamese pâté recipe made with pork liver and ground pork. Smooth, rich, and perfect for homemade bánh mì sandwiches.
Tuna Pasta
A good croissant is flaky, but soft, all while having a rich buttery flavour.
Making butter croissants at home is a labour of love. It takes time, lots of rolling, and patience. But imagine when you pull out a tray of fresh croissants from the oven. The aroma will make you feel like you’re in a Parisian bakery without even leaving your home. Mmm totally worth it!
Flavours of My Kitchen is my online recipe journal, where I share cookies, cakes, simple desserts, and cozy home cooked meals that fit into real life. I write the recipes the way I cook at home, with clear steps, tested measurements, and small details that help you avoid stress in the kitchen.
I cook and bake with my memories. Many of the recipes on this blog are inspired by the places I visit and the food I fall in love with when I travel. I pay attention to what people eat, how they share a meal, and the little traditions around the table, then I come home and recreate those dishes in my own kitchen.
Sometimes I cannot find the exact same ingredients where I live, but the feeling stays. These recipes are my way of keeping those cities, people, and moments close, while adapting them to a simple, home friendly kitchen.
Here you find a mix of everyday baking, home cooked meals, and travel inspired dishes that carry a story, not just a list of ingredients.
My technique may look a little different from other bakers. I bake for customers, so I use methods from the pastry industry that save time, reduce stress, and still give reliable, delicious results.
Fridge Cooking
(aka what’s in the fridge, but make it good)
I cook from memory, instinct, and whatever is in my fridge.
This blog is a collection of the dishes that stayed with me.
A classic apple crumble consists of an autumn apple filling in a buttery crust with crunchy baked crumbles overtop. It can be served hot or cold but I think it’s best served hot with a cool scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Mustard Pickle Soup
A comforting, tangy soup made from aged mustard greens, slow-cooked with tender meat and simple aromatics.
The base of Bún Thang is a clear and delicate chicken broth.
It starts with chicken stock, but what makes it special is the addition of dried squid, lightly toasted until fragrant and slightly charred, then washed and added to the broth. This gives a subtle depth that’s hard to describe but very important.
This is one of those simple dishes I like to make at home.
In Vietnam, chả cá is often made with a fish called cá thác lác, where the fish is scraped and prepared for you. You just bring it home, season it, and cook.
