    Here’s your sign to choose cheese over cake 🧀 Here’s your sign to choose cheese over cake 🧀💍

We even tried each layer before deciding at @fourteendropsmarkethall , which made the whole experience even more fun.

(Yes… our wedding “cake” was actual layers of cheese.)

    WENS, LEEDS There are some places people keep re WENS, LEEDS 

There are some places people keep recommending and @wensrestaurantleeds was one of them. Sitting just off the main streets in Leeds city centre, it’s super easy to get to on foot from pretty much anywhere and honestly, it lives up to the hype. We had some of the best Chinese food we’ve eaten in Leeds here.

We ordered:

• Minced Chicken Pan-Fried Dumplings
• Crispy Deep-Fried Pork in Sweet Vinegar Sauce
• Egg Fried Rice
• Kung Pao Chicken
• Dan Dan Noodles
• Salt & Pepper Chicken
• Stir-Fried Beef Noodles
• Pork Xiao Long Bao
• Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket in Curry Sauce

The atmosphere was great and the staff were genuinely friendly. It’s regularly busy, we’ve been back since and were lucky to get a table, which is always a good sign.

We first went as a little celebration before our wedding with a friend and it really felt like one. Every dish landed but the Xiao Long Bao and Dan Dan noodles were definite standouts. It’s one of those places you leave already planning your next visit.

    These salsa verde tacos were inspired by a visit t These salsa verde tacos were inspired by a visit to the @hepworthwakefield Christmas markets, where we discovered @miskimex . We tried Estela’s El Jalapeño salsa verde and went back for more, it was that good. Fresh salsa like this is hard to come by in the UK, so it was a real find. You can make this salsa verde taco recipe using her El Jalapeño salsa, or make your own if you’re able to get hold of tomatillos. We also topped our tacos with a few of her other salsas.

RECIPE LINK IN STORY / BIO

Estela currently sells her salsa at the following places but there are also 2 (including this one) available online which we’ll post a link to in our story.

    Hey, we’re Shannon and Joe 👋 We’re teacher Hey, we’re Shannon and Joe 👋

We’re teachers in the UK, passionate travellers, big eaters and absolutely love to cook.

Most of our time is spent teaching but when we’re not, we’re either planning a trip, on a plane, or recreating something we ate and loved and posting the recipe on our website forthoseabouttocook.com 

We’ve travelled through Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, the USA and across Europe, filming it all just for fun and food memories.

So we started For Those About To Cook –
a space to share recipes we create ourselves, food inspired by meals we eat out,
and cooking that fits around full-time jobs, travel and real life.

Nothing too precious.
Nothing overcomplicated.
Just good food.

We’ve got a big year ahead! We got married just a few weeks ago 💍 and we’re spending the school holidays honeymooning (which mostly consists of eating food!)

First stop: Istanbul 🇹🇷

And Shannon’s New Year’s resolution?
To eat at In-N-Out Burger… so I guess we’re off to the States too 🍔✈️

If you love food, travel, and cooking along as you go – you’re in the right place ❤️
