Hey guys, time for another easy dry-cured recipe with wonderful flavor and a ton of uses. I can’t wait to get this thing all golden crispy-ready to go with my sunnies. Let me start by saying that pancetta is very similar to bacon. Pancetta is made from the belly of a pig and dry-cured for […]
If you know how to cook a pork shoulder I’m sure you have a ton of friends. This piece of meat and I go way back to the time when I was, for whatever reason, getting into cooking. It was a dish I really wanted to try. Roasting a pork shoulder at home (in my […]
I rarely use this method for cooking steaks because I rarely get steaks that are thick enough for reverse searing to be worth my while but when I do I cook them sous vide and move on. Both methods (reverse sear and sous vide) are comparable to some degree. Both yield a great product. Both […]
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 […]
This taco might be a bit different from your usual asada taco but amazing nonetheless and if you love meat and you love tacos and you love sous vide cooking… then, yes, you must try this.

I’ve been wanting to post about this for a while and finally, today found the time and the willpower. This time I decided to photograph it instead of eating it before I could grab my camera. Beef stews are quite possibly my all-time favorite thing to cook/eat/stare-at during cold days and I’m documenting this recipe just […]
And we’re back with some more sous vide cooking! A few things about pork tenderloin. It’s delicious but only if cooked properly otherwise is just boring. Cooking this cut with traditional methods requires some practice and a thermometer but if you’re looking for that medium rare finish and a pasteurized product then going sous vide […]
If you know or you know of somebody that holds the true original recipe for bolognese sauce please report back in the comment section if you can. I’m really curious. A simple google search returned over 200,000 result and after checking the first 2 pages of results it was obvious everybody has their own idea […]
By now you are probably aware of my steak and eggs obsession. Almost every weekend I make some variation of this american classic. Practice makes perfect? I hope so! Also, if you’ve been keeping up with this blog you are probably also aware of sous vide cooking being a common theme here. I love cooking sous vide, specially […]
