Hungry after walk so tried making black sesame seed paste dumplings — similar to previous mochi but almost no sugar, with the dough boiled instead of baked. Interesting texture, would certainly add some honey to the paste next time as it needs a little more sweetness.
Followed these ingredients: rasamalaysia.com/black-sesame-dumplings-tang-yuan/2/, going to try making justonecookbook.com/recipes/black-sesame-ice-cream next
Roopa Gulati:
@BarnabyWalters I love the way you combine fabulous experimental food with technical computer coding!
@roopagulati thanks! Currently mainly working on improving my pizza technique — I can do pretty good sourdough bases now, just bought a pizza stone and it’s had a huge effect. Pizza is now crispy but flexible and a little charred on the bottom.
Finished off a tiring 15000 step day with my best Spanish-style hot chocolate yet: milk, cornstarch, vanilla, dark chocolate, cinnamon, himalayan salt, a little licorice, masala curry powder and crumbled walnuts. mmmmmmmm.
Acquired today: one pizza stone and a paddle! Hopefully this will push my pizza quality to the next level now that I have a decent dough technique.
@_aitor thanks, they did indeed! Gave my brother and some friends the recipe, emphasis on thickness and gloopiness.
Made some @_aitor style hot chocolate with biscotti:

Checked in to C is for Cookie, Reykjavik — working on my #indieweb checkin/note location UI, check it out at waterpigs.co.uk/notes/new!
Having a go at making Sumendi’s leche frita (fried milk). Just put the mix in the fridge, pretty sure the consistency is perfect, but I’ll find out for sure tomorrow!
@benwerd any sauce-making tips you’d care to share? And yep, @doublebill is great — met some new friends and seen some interesting/bizarre films at previous ones, hoping to continue the trend!
Second attempt at satay chicken tonight — peanut sauce was too watery (coconut milk was less thick somehow) but the marinade was much better. Need to get it (and maybe chocolate mousse) up to scratch for when I host my #revolution themed @doublebill!
Which restaurants serve delicious food, freely give out their recipes and link to their guests’ personal URLs from a beautiful website?
Trick question: there is only sumendi.is
If you get the chance, go!
Having a go at Thai cooking tonight — making some grilled chicken with satay sauce + cucumber (new favourite flavour combination), as per this recipe.
Tried making some Spanish-style hot chocolate. A little lumpy, and probably not nearly thick enough for @_aitor’s standards, but delicious nontheless!
Heading over to Sumendi, hoping that I do actually have a reservation. Everything looks delicious!
@wordridden ever tried making moffles (mochi dough waffles)? Apparently they’re rather delicious
Had a go at making Dosas (cc @roopagulati) — simple potato+cumin filling, used hjartasalt (hartshorn powder) in batter instead of baking soda. First one was pretty good, second one a bit too wet.
Is the filling supposed to be easily spreadable? Mine may have been way too thick. #cooking #dosas #food
Made a simple garlic+mushroom+cheese risotto from this recipe — results were adequate, ignore the instructions to put salt in at the beginning though — it’s easy to put way too much in then have it concentrated as more water evaporates. Best leave it till later, or put a tiny amount in.
#TIL leathal salt dosage is around 80g
