1 hour till midnight on a sunday night. Another monday ahead. 4 more left till this year is over, including tomorrow. Hope you’re doing well. Hope you’re looking forward to the beginning of the work week because I am certainly not. Ok, I give up, I’ve been trying to write this intro paragraph for the […]
A Simple Bosc Pear Tart
This tart was part of my Thanksgiving dinner plan, in fact, this tart was the conclusion of the Thanksgiving dinner, so it had to be good! and tons of planning went into it, but plans, usually mine, don’t always go as expected. I should have prepped the tart a couple of days in advance, throw […]
Turkey Breast Roulade Sous Vide 140F : Beer Braised Savoy Cabbage : Cranberry Chutney : Gravy
Finally found some time to post about thanksgiving this year. And the famous and anticipated turkey night came and went, it happened so fast! I hope everybody had a great time and survived the cleaning marathon that usually follows the cooking olympics. Three days of prep, about 10-15 hours of cooking, gone in less than […]
Zebra Cake
Blogging is an international thing I understand, but I still want to extend a happy thanksgiving day to everyone that’s reading this and celebrated turkey day. And yes, I did 🙂 I cooked something on this wonderful holiday, and I will be posting in the upcoming days. I really want to post about the zebra […]
Ribeye Steak Autumn Vegetable Salad : Beets, Brussel Sprouts, Green Beans and Pearl Onions
Pearl onions are more of a summer treat, but I love them and I thought they’d go well with this dish. Brussels sprouts are beautiful and iconic around this time of the year and so are golden beets, they are simply delicious and beautiful, they are a little more delicate in flavor than their red […]
A Simple Pumpkin Soup
Yet Another pumpkin soup recipe. I know. The least original thing I could have come up with but it’s fitting right around this time of the year and I like it, so I made it and wanted to share it with you as well, in case you haven’t tried making it. It is really easy […]
Classic Apple Tart Tatin
This classic upside-down apple french tart, although a bit challenging to make, it is extremely rewarding and perfect dessert for the upcoming holidays. Or if you’re like me, a perfect dessert period. Hope you won’t need the usual holiday-only-too-time-comsuming-I-need-motivation excuse to make it because it is really fun. It does take time, but you can […]
Beef Tripe Stew over Horseradish Parmesan Potato Puree
I get the feeling tripe isn’t everyone’s favorite, right? We’re talking about the honeycomb membrane that covers the interior of the second stomach of a cow, the reticulum to be more precise (I just googled all of that ok). After that… most readers have probably already left. If you’re still there, well great! It means […]
Apple and Black Currant Tart
For the trained eye, those adept at baking and pastry making (hopefully not, because I need some encouragement here but I’m ready and could use some constructive criticism), this tart will show some basic execution flaws, like the walls aren’t thin enough or tall enough, and the filling doesn’t reach the edge of the crust […]
Lazy Artichoke-Beef-Chicken Soup : Noodles and Potatoes
This simple soup for me was about minimizing waste and trying to make something tasty out of ingredients I can’t seem to find a use for sometimes. I’ve been staring at these 2 artichokes sit at the bottom of my refrigerator for almost a week, pathetic, but can’t get myself motivated enough to cook them […]
