ahhh I’m so happy for the new episode~ the food was really pretty, but the characters seemed a little weird at times?? Is it just me?

Either way, Aoi is definitely falling for Oodana and I am so for it. Its cute that like

In normal anime the romance feels forced but in this one its slow burn a little and she misses him in small ways, ecp now that he’ll be gone for a few days. 

I’m looking forward to see what happens with that communication system and  that Ori-yo inn thing

Cooking with Anime: Roast Beef from Meiji Tokyo Renka!

Meiji Tokyo Renka has started off with a bang, and by that, I mean that it's basically a cross between 1800s Japan and Ouran High Host Club with roast beef. And you know what? I'm here for it. What's not to love? "Insert self here" girl gets transported to the past and immediately meets a harem of different boy stereotypes who apparently see no problem with her a) very different clothes, b) technology, and c) blatant confusion of the entire situation. I'll be interested to see where the second episode goes, but I can say for certain that it's definitely shaping up to be a fun, if not very serious, show.

  Something I do love about it is that the main character, Mei, LOVES roast beef. I find this incredibly refreshing because "liking meat" tends to be a stereotype reserved for male characters, so it's nice to see a girl taking delight in the juicy and delectable delicacy that is beef because this is a love I think everyone can share equally.

    Upon reflection, I was actually surprised to find that I'd never had roast beef, and immediately went a-huntin' online to find some information on it. Roast beef is a pretty ubiquitous term for any hunk of beef you happen to roast in the oven, so there are a lot of variations. Something to note is that there are some types of beef better suited for roasting than others. Rib roasts, for example, top-side of beef, or sirloin roasts. Something like a chuck roast, which my butcher mistakenly pointed me toward, has tissue better suited for low and slow cooking, and not the higher heats of an oven.

    Get ye to your butcher! I co-opted the famous Jamie Oliver's roast recipe to match what I saw in the show. His original recipe is linked below, and I barely made changes. I subbed out a deeper berry jam in the gravy for strawberry, both as a nod to strawberry cake, which is the bread and butter of anime like this one, but also because it was what I had on hand. I went for a sirloin roast instead of top side of beef, because it was what my butcher had. And, I adjusted cooking times for a rarer end result, because I happen to love rare meat. Shockingly, this is very simple to make, yet incredibly impressive! Make it tonight for your friends, and maybe you all will be transported to another time, and another place. 

  Watch the video below to see the full process.

      Ingredients for the Roast Beef

Adapted from this recipe here.

-3 lb sirloin roast

-Salt and pepper

-Olive oil

-1/2 large yellow onion

-2 carrots, scrubbed

-1/2 head of celery

-1/2 head of garlic

-2 sprigs rosemary

-3 bay leaves

-1 tablespoon flour

-1 box (roughly 1 liter) of beef stock 

-Roughly 1 cup of red wine

-1 tablespoon strawberry jam

     To Make the Roast Beef

  1. Two days in advance, season the roast with salt. Leave in the fridge.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Get roast pan out and ready to go. When ready to cook, take the roast out and pat dry. Coat with olive oil, and rub in salt and pepper. Heat a pan on high heat. Scrub celery and carrots. Place roast into the pan to sear the side, about 5-7 minutes. While searing, chop onion into large chunks. Chop carrot into large chunks. Flip the roast so the other side can sear, and large chop the celery, and then smash the garlic bulb open so the cloves aren't stuck together. 

  3. Sear each side of the roast, about 1 minute on each side. Use your tongs to keep the roast upright. Remove from the heat and set aside on a plate. Add more oil if the pan seems dry. Toss vegetables into the pan along with the rosemary and bay leaf. Toss a few times, and let cook, about 2 minutes or until just seared. Remove from heat, and layer into the bottom of the roast pan. 

  4. Place roast on top of the vegetables, making sure it's sitting evenly in the roasting pan. Put in the oven for 1 hour (for medium-medium rare). When done, remove roast from the pan, put on a plate, and cover with foil to rest. Place vegetables back in the pan you used to sear the meat, crank heat up to medium-high, and sprinkle in the flour. Use a wooden spoon to toss the flour through the vegetables, and squash the veggies into smaller chunks and bits. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up all the burny bits at the bottom of the pan. Tap in the jam, and swirl through the pan.

  5. Add in the beef stock. Bring to a simmer, and cook for thirty minutes, smashing down veggies as they cook to release more yummy flavor. You want to let the gravy thicken a good bit. After thirty minutes have passed, or it is thickened to your liking, add in any juices the roast released after resting and stir through. 

  6. Strain gravy through a sieve to remove any bits. Thinly slice the roast so across the grain. Serve with hot gravy!

I’m starting to think Aoi’s debt wasn’t because of her grandfather, but maybe that the food she ate was a child was a akashi’s power, or their spirit or something else irreplaceable? And it wasnt so much a debt as, from the moment she ate it she belonged in the spirit realm

[laputatiana]

that small half face reveal was so unfair

how can you play me like this, just let Aoi know who saved her little bb life

Cooking With Anime: How to Get the Best Gooey Cheesy Toast from Gintama

When my friend Nate Ming requested that I make "that stuff they're eating" in Gintama episode 98, I was a little skeptical. After all, I've made food from Gintama before (namely Gintoki's favorite parfait), and I sort of thought I'd covered all the good food in the show. Honestly, what other foods do people remember, besides Kagura's pickled seaweed? (But if you remember anything else, though, let me know, because I love Gintama and would love to do more food from it). And then, I went back and watched the episode. And I saw. I saw the stuff.

  And it was good. 

  My darling readers, let me tell you what these beautiful people were eating. The beloved, the amazing:

  CHEESE ON TOAST!!!!

    What, that doesn't excite you like it excites me? Oh, sorry. Actually, NOT SORRY, cheesy toast bread is one of my favorite snacks of all time, but I don't eat it much anymore because it's... y'know. Got a lot of cheese and bread involved. Neither of which are the healthiest options. BUT it is super tasty. What intrigued me about this episode was that 1) they were cosplaying the anime version of Heidi, the seminal Swiss children's book about a Swiss orphan child who eats an endearing amount of cheese, bread, and milk and 2) the cheese they're using to toast over the fire is so... so... melty. And gooey. And stretchy and yummy and I just wanted to eat it melted over everything.

So I had to figure out what they used to get such a good cheese stretch.

    And since they were parodying Heidi, my first order of buisness was to figure out what kind of cheese they used in Heidi to make this toast. Surprisingly, there's a lot of love out there for all the dairy-related incidents in the book, as seen by the evidence below:

    While this was a fascinating read, it gave me a key clue as to what kind of cheese I needed to purchase: Raclette. You know, the stuff you've seen on all those Insta posts and Facebook videos, where the guy takes a giant wheel of cheese and scrapes off the top melted layer over meats and potatoes and stuff like that? The very same stuff! I was enchanted. I'd been dying to try this cheese out for myself, and this was my moment! A phone call to my local cheese counter and $30 later, and I was in possession of some high quality raclette, directly from Switzerland. 

  Raclette is a hard cheese, making it easy to get thin, even slices or nice chunks of cheese. I tried to melt the cheese two ways--the first way, as seen in the anime, by toasting it over the fire. I also thinly sliced the cheese and tried melting it over a piece of bread under a broiler. For my honesst review of each process watch the video. For a tl;dr version, I can say this: toasting it over a fire is fun, but messy, and sometimes inconsistent. Toasting it under a broiler is easy, fast, produces cleaner and more consistent results, but itsn't very "hands-on."

  For those of you who think that just eating cheese on toast is a little boring, I have some optional ingredients laid out below that I think would pair beautifully with the cheese. Something else to note: the cheese has to be at the ideal temperature to get those gooey cheese strings I love so much. Can't be too hot, but can't be too cold either. Warm cheese, maybe a minute or two out of the oven, will give you the best stringy results. Cheese heated over actual fire is a bit more difficult to control, and can produce gooey cheese, but only if your timing is impeccable. 

  Watch the video below to see the full process.

      Ingredients for the Melty-Cheesy Toast

  -Bread Slices

-Raclette Cheese

  Optional toppings:

  -Thinly-sliced meats or salamis to eat with the toast

-Tart cherry or fig orange jam to top the toast

-Thinly-sliced tomato to top the toast

-Nutmeg or curry powder, for sprinkling on top

    To Make the Melty-Cheesy Toast

  1. First and preferred option: Thinly slice raclette cheese. Top bread with desired optional ingredients, and then top with cheese. Broil for 3-4 minutes until bubbly and toasted. Sprinkle with any nutmeg or curry powder to garnish. This method is best for making large batches at once, party snacks, or for easy cleanup. Eat warm for best gooey cheese results!

  2. Second and more fun option: Toast bread slices. Top bread with desired optional ingredients. Cut a uniform block of cheese, and skewer. Roast over an open flame, turning constantly to avoid too much drippage. You may have to cut off more melted sections and put those on the toast while you continue to melt the cheese. Toast cheese over fire until soft and gooey, and place on top of toast. Eat warm for best gooey cheese results!

Cooking With Anime: Japanese-Style Thanksgiving Stuffing

First of all, sorry/not sorry for the Giorno thumbnail. This article has nothing to do with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but I like Giorno's hair, and also this season is great, so you should be watching it. 

  Okay, so... Thanksgiving. The one time of year when people seriously think about cooking for the first time all year, and decide to cook a giant bird to feed like thirty people, all without catching their home on fire. It's a stressful time of year if you're not a wiz in the kitchen, and even if you are, Thanksgiving can be a day of extreme anxiety if you're not mentally and physically prepared to handle the weight of a thousand relatives and an entire batch of burned gravy, the stench of which will not be erradicated from your kitchen for at least three weeks. 

  I don't have a foolproof plan for success, but if you are one of the unfortunate souls who has agreed to cook for someone this Thanksgiving, let me give you a few tips. If I've learned anything from the copious amounts of cooking anime I've watched, I have at least a few ideas for getting your kitchen in order and dishing up something truly amazing. 

  First, positivity. This sounds kind of corny, but bear with me. All the great cooking anime characters have this! Look at Soma from Food Wars, Aoi from Kakuriyo Bed and Breakfast for Spirits, or Kazuma from Yakitate!! Japan. The single biggest factor that can contribute to your meal either being a hit or a flop all stems from how you approach the overall dish. If you go into the kitchen with a recipe, a basic idea of what you're doing, and a genuine willingness to see it through, no matter what, you've already got this positive mindset I'm talking about. The only time I see someone truly crash and burn with a dish is when they get into the kitchen and lose all faith in what they're doing and why they're doing it. Grating cheese morphs into a chore so immense, they determine that it's hardly worth the effort. They can't figure out how to get all the papery bits off their garlic, so they give up on the garlic (hint: NEVER give up on the garlic). They need to flip a cake out onto a cooling rack, wimp out halfway through, and end up ripping their cake in half. It's honestly a little tragic. 

        Let's face it--cooking doesn't always go right. Things happen. You find out you forgot to buy a key ingredient. You accidentally set your entree and apartment on literal fire (I'm guilty of this). Maybe you didn't get the perfect sear on your steak. No matter what, if you're willing to roll with the punches, you'll end up enjoying the process and the final result much more than if you give up because you somehow think you messed it up halfway into cooking. 

  Once you've gained a little positivity, the next thing you need is an ace up your sleeve. Do ONE little thing with an otherwise well-known dish to wow your friends. You don't need to reinvent the wheel to make something really impressive--Soma and Kazuma are EXPERTS at this technique. For example, Soma took curry rice, and amped it up by making it into a curry risotto! Kazuma's classic 324 layer croissant has the same effect- it impresses by doing something different witha familiar medium.

      My stuffing recipe below also fits into this category. It's a Ginger Miso Pork Stuffing, a definite riff on traditional Thanksgiving stuffing that is made better (in my humble opinion) by introducing some of my favorite Japanese style flavors. My recipe takes the basics of stuffing- the bread, the liquids, and the seasonings, and adds a Japanese twist on the flavors. Seriously, it's the best stuffing I've ever had and incredibly easy to make as well. Make your ace this stuffing recipe and you won't regret it, and will have your friends begging for more. I know personally because my friend Sarah literally demolished almost the entire tray of stuffing in a single sitting. 

  The last thing you need to succeed in the kitchen is an amazing group of friends willing to let a few mistakes slide. Thanksgiving isn't a cooking competition. It's not a call for you to show (or fake) your cooking chops. It's a time to get together with friends and have a little fun. Gather the people together who might tease you a little for a dry turkey, and then just pour on more gravy to cover it up. 

    Enjoy! Hopefully your Thanksgiving is stress free and full of fun in the kitchen! Make this stuffing- it's perfect for Thanksgiving, or even for later on in the year, just...as the main entree. I love stuffing. Watch the video below to see the full process.

      Ingredients for the Ginger Miso Pork Stuffing

  Feeds 10, or 6 really hungry people if you're making this as the main for dinner.

  -2 loaves gluten-free bread (sandwich bread)

-3 cups chicken stock

-3 tbsp soy sauce

-3 tbsp mirin

-3 tbsp sake

-3-4 tbsp awase miso (Depending on how salty you like it, go for the lower or higher amount. I like things well seasoned, so I used 4 tbsp and was very happy, but I will admit that I was pretty thirsty afterwards.)

-3 eggs

-1/2 cup chopped parsley

-1 stick butter

-2 bunches green onions, chopped

-3 tbsp grated ginger

-4 cloves chopped garlic

-1 lb pork

-Salt

-1 tbsp soy sauce

-1 tbsp sake

    To Make the Ginger Miso Pork Stuffing

  1. Tear up the bread into bite-size pieces and set aside in a large bowl. 

  2. Preheat oven to 400 F. Start by combining the liquids. Add soy sauce, mirin, and sake to the chicken broth. Thin the miso down with some of the broth, and then pour it in. Whisk in the eggs, and then whisk in the chopped parsley. Set aside. 

  3. Melt a stick of butter in a pan. Sautee green onions on medium high heat, abut 2 minutes, or until softened. Lower heat to medium, and add in grated ginger and chopped garlic. Sautee about 90 seconds, or until fragrant. Then, toss through the green onions. 

  4. Raise temperature again to medium high. Add in the ground pork, and season with salt. Break the pork up into bite size pieces and brown, about 5-6 minutes. Stir soy sauce and sake through the pork mixture, and set aside. 

  5. Add the pork mixture to the bread, and the liquid mixture. Stir through until the liquid is evenly soaked into the bread, and the pork mixture is evenly distributed. Pour stuffing into a baking dish (I had to use two to contain it all), and bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, or until top is nice and crispy and browned. 

  6. Serve up, nice and hot! Garnish with extra parsley. Serve as a side to something, or as a main--pair with a salad and roasted vegetables.

Cooking With Anime: Bunny Girl Senpai's Cream Pan!

If you ever find yourself on the brink of disappearing, I'd like to let you know that it will all BE FINE as long as you have some cream pan. Why will cream pan do the trick? Let me tell you! The shiny, sweet bread stuffed with creamy vanilla custard, all warmed through and smelling like a donut shop is the perfect combination of carbs and dairy. It will instantly transport you to a better time and place. Worried about the fact that no one can see you? Not to worry, this is the thing that will relieve all your pain!

  Now, let me tell you that in the making of this bread, I messed up. Stuffed breads in and of themselves are a little tricky, but the problem here was that I did not do my research thoroughly before attempting this recipe. The titular ingredient in this bread, custard, should be really thick and creamy. I accidentally made mine much too thin, a problem that could have been circumvented if I'd left the custard on the heat for literally two minutes longer than I did. There's nothing more frustrating than realizing that if I'd just spent a few more minutes on the custard, I'd have an even more delicious end product. Frustrating...just like NOT BEING SEEN IN THE WORLD! Wow, nice tie in, Emily. *high fives self, like an idiot*

    As it is, my first attempt with this bread was really good. I took a bite and immediately thought of a donut shop. These custard cream buns are warm and fluffy straight from the oven, best eaten the day you make them. They're pretty easy to make, too, barring any custard disasters. The bread part is pretty foolproof; you just have to make sure you get the rise time right, and then it's just a matter of rolling out the dough and stuffing them with all that tasty creamy custard.

       Brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash to bring out the shiny golden brown top, and these buns are golden! Perfect for taking with you on a snack, or sharing with friends. I gave my extra buns to my students (two days after I made them. Sorry kiddos!). Even stale, they really enjoyed them! I've never had cream pan before, so all things considered, I was really happy with my first try. I can't wait to make them again; I'm going to see if I can make a good gluten-free recipe, so comment below if you'd like to see that. 

  Watch the video below to see the full process.

      Ingredients for the Cream Pan

Original recipe found here 

Bread Dough:

-200 ml milk, warmed slightly

-1 packet of active dry yeast

-1/4 cup sugar

-2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, minus 1 tablespoon

-1 tablespoon cornstarch

-1 tsp salt

-2 table spoons dried milk powder

-2 tbsp butter, softened

-1 egg for egg wash

    Custard Cream:

-1 cup milk

-3 egg yolks

-1/2 cup sugar

-1 tbsp cornstarch

-1 tbsp butter

-3/4 tsp vanilla

    To Make the Cream Pan

  1. Start by making the custard cream. Mix egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch together with a whisk. Heat milk over medium heat in a saucepan.

  2. When it is warmed, just below simmering, or right when bubbles start to form around the edges of the pot, whisk a small portion of the milk into the egg mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Repeat, until all milk is whisked in. Do this in small amounts, so as not to heat the eggs too much at once and cook them. 

  3. Return to heat, and stir until the custard thickens quite a bit. It should stick easily to the spoon- mine was definitely too thin in the video. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla until incorporated. Strain through a mesh strainer to take out any bumps or lumps. Put into an airtight container, and refridgerate until ready to use. 

  4. Start on the bread. Heat up milk until warm to touch (but not hot), and put it in the bowl of a stand mixer with the sugar and yeast. Whisk together and let stand five minutes to activate the yeast. 

  5. Whisk cornstarch into the flour. Pour the flour, milk powder, and salt into the yeast. Start mixer with a dough hook, until dough has reached the soft ball stage, about 6-8 minutes. 

  6. Add the butter in, and continue mixing until totally incorporated, another 4-5 minutes. 

  7. Remove dough hook and cover with plastic wrap. Set somewhere warm, and let rise, about 1 hour. 

  8. After dough has risen, punch the air out and turn onto a flat surface. Shape into a disc, and cut 8 pieces. Roll each piece out into a circle, and cover with a clean dishcloth. Let rest 15 minutes.

  9. Roll out each dough ball into an oval, about the size of a picture. Put 1/8th of custard cream in the middle, and fold in half lengthwise, so the bun is longer than it is wide. 

  8. Seal edges shut tightly to contain the custard, pressing with your fingers. Cut 5 slits into the edge, taking care not to go past the sealed point so the custard doesn't leak out. Place on parchment paper lined sheet, and let rise for 1 hour.

  9. Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix egg with a whisk. Brush top of buns with egg wash generously. Bake for about 14 minutes, or until golden brown. 

  10. Enjoy while contemplating the existential dread that comes with realizing your disappearance will have zero impact on the world, rendering your corporeal body and actions thereof more or less meaningless~

Let's Make Futoshi's Bread from Darling in the FranXX!

Darling in the FranXX, most people I think can agree, was A SHOW that HAPPENED to a lot of people in a lot of different ways. For me, the most interesting thing Darling had to offer was Futoshi's bread in like the very last episode, far in the future when they're all living happily on a replenished Earth.

        Overall, the plot thread focusing on Earth's renewal and attempts to rebuild got a little lost amidst all the space stuff, but I was pleasantly surprised to see this bread pop up at the very end. Up until this, we were sort of left to wonder if the farming stuff really worked (which, by the way, HOW did it work??? It's not that easy to just plant stuff and watch it grow. They'd have had to do a LOT of work on the soil to get it hospitable for growing plants again.) In the end, though, I wasn't happy just because I like food, but because bread is a huge indicator of a successful civilization. 

  Though it's clear that at the end they are able to have kids and replenish Earth's supply of non-immortal humans, we don't know quite the extent of this growth, but the bread provides a vital clue. I mean, think about it: in order to make bread, you have to first grow wheat. After you grow wheat, you need to collect and mill the grain. Then you have to grind the wheat down into flour, and have the wherewithal to practice combining it with water and yeast--yeast, a resource that would not have been as simple to come by as wheat, and even that wasn't easy--to make a dough, and THEN also have the resources to practice turning the dough into cute little shapes to serve to adorable children. 

  In our society, it doesn't seem like much of anything to do, but in a society that is struggling to relearn how to do these things without the aid of the technology they'd grown accustomed to, it would be quite a feat to produce specialty bread products. So then the next question is.... is this bread worth the time and effort?

  I mean, yes. Do you like bread? I like bread. You know what makes bread more fun? Eating it in adorable shapes! This recipe is fairly easy to combine together, but it needs a lot of kneading. Like, 15-20 minute's worth, though the original recipe only called for 10. The most difficult part about it is shaping the bread into your desired shapes, but that's more fun than hard, and it all tastes good in the end no matter what shape you come up with.

        By the way, what are these things? Seriously, are they baby Klaxosaurs? Weird birds? Is it symbolic of 002 and Hiro? I'd be curious to know what you think.

      Ingredients for Futoshi's Bread

(Adapted slightly from this recipe)

-2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour

-1 package Active Dry Yeast

-1 tbsp Sugar

-1 tsp Salt

-3/4 cup Water

-1/3 cup Milk

-1 tbsp Butter

-2 Eggs

-Red candies or berries for eyes

      To Make Futoshi's Bread

1. Whisk the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar together.

2. In a microwave or on the stove, heat milk, water, and butter so that it is warm--not burning--to the touch. (Within 120-130 F).

3. Stir milk mixture into flour until the dough starts to come together. Add in one egg.

4. Turn dough out onto a table and knead, about 15-20 minutes, until dough is soft, smooth, and pliable.

5. Cover with a damp cloth and rest until doubled, about 60 minutes, in a warm place.

6. Punch air out of dough. Split into 6 pieces and form each piece into a ball, and then into a teardrop shape. Cut the tail feathers of the creature into thirds, and shape appropriately. Set on a baking sheet, and add in berries or candies for eyes. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F.

7. Mix up final egg with a splash of water. Brush the tops of the buns with the mixture, and bake in the oven at 400 F for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

8. Enjoy with butter and jam!
