Nothing like staying in bed on a saturday morning for a bit longer, just a bit longer, specially after friday drinks. What’s better is having breakfast in bed and what would be even better, being able to go back to sleep for another couple hours right after. Enough wishful thinking, but my sleeping in I […]
I might be in over my head when it comes to food science (definitely am), but I will give it my best shot here. What do I have to lose? 4 eggs? that’s worth the risk. We’re going to get down and dirty with this salt-effect-on-eggs business. Please read and don’t make me “begg” yah! […]
If you want to watch a great movie that revolves around passion for food, watch Big Night, super funny, great music, great cast, all the right ingredients and it’s on Netflix But anyways, I mention it, because I’m watching it it while I am trying to make sense of this post.

Nothing like testing and trying and taking notes and trying again and learning […]

When it comes to cooking sous vide, owning a vacuum sealer is pretty convenient and standard practice but not an absolute requirement. I own a VacMaster vp112 […]
As cool as making beef jerky in the microwave might sound…. it really wasn’t for me. It would be great to have a way to eliminate moisture inside of it when drying things in it (here’s an idea, wouldn’t it be great to have a microwave that could remove that evaporated water?)… anyways, The constant opening […]
Extremely straight forward wet cured pork recipe. I used a beautiful pork loin I found at the market, and I had frozen marjoram that’s been patiently waiting in my freezer to find a friend. So here is a quick guide for curing 1 pound of pork loin. Or check out a much more in detail […]
Not sure if perfect is the right word here since perfection when it comes to food and especially eggs is very subjective. I do like my eggs soft and tender and I am a fan of soft-boiled eggs but I’m not everybody so if you aren’t into runny yolks, exit now or stick around and […]
