Let me sound like a late night infomercial for a second here. If you ever wanted to eat like royalty but still had to cook it yourself because you aren’t royalty (maybe you are, I’m not), this dinner, if you like pork, might be the answer and it takes about 15 minutes to make. When […]
I’m been MIA for 30 days. Long story short, I moved from Los Angeles to Vancouver. And that involved selling my condo and my car, not to mention packing some and storing the rest of all of my stuff. I realized while packing that cooking has been a big deal around here for a few […]
First. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Second. Hope you all had plenty of your favorite Christmas delights. Third. We’re here to talk about Hallacas. I’ve posted about this dish a couple of times in the past. We venezuelans eat hallacas only around christmas and new years time. It’s a very popular dish of […]
I celebrated my place in the food chain last night. I can only bake so many cakes and pastries before instincts kick in, and a big bloody steak ends up in the skillet. The mighty porterhouse steak was the victim last night. It tried to escape, oh yes it did. Not a chance. Today at […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
