Here we go… walking into unknown territory again… maybe not for you but certainly for me. My Vietnamese kitchen knowledge is literally zero or so it was until a few hours ago. I love Vietnamese food and eat it frequently but I have never actually cooked a single Vietnamese dish at home, well, until tonight. […]
Alright, it’s almost midnight on Dec 31. Time to wrap it up for the year 2019. I figured I’d cook something completely different from what I usually cook during the holidays. Don’t ask me how I ended up with this choice (drunken internet browsing for sure) but I’m extremely happy I did and to be […]
One day I will write a post a week like I used to back in the old days but I’ve been busy and lacking writing stamina lately. I moved out of that dodgy hotel room months ago and rented an apartment in San Jose, near “smelly” Milpitas but not too close to the landfill-waste-whatever plant so […]
It’s been a while since I wrote about traditional comfort food and it has definitely been a while since I’ve made this dish. It’s hard to make this dish without thinking about Julia Child if you live in the US. I went through my Julia Child phase many years ago (not that she invented the […]
I want to quickly go over tough cuts and how you can achieve something pretty unique using the sous vide method. I’m a medium-rare meat eater and although I love tough cuts cooked traditionally which in most cases requires temperatures nearing the boiling point, like in the case of braises and stews, there’s something magical […]
This is not the most common way of roasting a chicken but is definitely one of my favorites although I save it mostly for special occasions.

Hey guys! I have put together another quick sous vide article. This time is all about sous vide tri-tip! It might seem a bit daunting when you think about how long some of these sous vide recipes take to make but as you get familiar with the technique you will start seeing cooking in a […]
I’ve spent the whole summer grilling outside. I got this pretty nice Webber Spirit grill about 2 months ago and I haven’t used the stove much. The grill is small, it only has 2 burners but it works really well. Gets super hot and I’ve successfully smoked a ton of different things. I wish it were […]
The Hestan guys just invited their brand ambassadors to a cooking/photo competition to show off their skills and their hestan skillets! and as you already know… that would impossible for me to pass. They facilitated the recipe which is great because I don’t cook by following recipes so this was different and really fun. It’s a recipe […]
