Chocolate truffle cakes

I had some major highs and major lows this year.


I met my new best friends cauliflower and Swiss chard. I started making beans from scratch. I made kimchi! Well, kaktugi.

I had some pretty spectacular failures as well though, which, by not creating posts about them, I can pretend they never happened.

I just love savory pies. This goes back to my childhood - in an attempt to escape Korean food, I sought out the most American of foods: the TV dinner. How awesome were those compartments that separated the turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy from the beans and the little fruit cobbler dessert?

Really, when I look back, it's rather appalling.
