This is something I made when I was away from my blog during a trip to Hawaii and I’ve been meaning to document it since, I really liked it and I hope you can enjoy it too. My understanding is that a proper bisque uses rice instead of potatoes as the thickener, in this case […]
I have been meaning to write a better post about this dish which I grew up eating. It’s a classic tapas food in any spanish restaurant or cafe. I have added fennel and some parsley to the mix just to spice things up a bit, it works really well with the onions and the potatoes, […]
Ok, this is probably one of the best things to ever have come out of my oven. An accident? very likely! Nutella and Yogurt, what a powerful combination turns out, simple and delicious and they were just sitting in my fridge …and I didn’t want them to go bad (not that nutella ever lasts that […]
Quick appetizer! but you must control that oven at all cost! carry over heat is hard to tame, and the formulas and mind numbing pages and pages of how heat travels through food are very hard to grasp, at least for me. Nothing like testing and trying and taking notes and trying again and learning […]
I don’t think this dish needs much introduction, and although the original paella recipe did probably not feature any ocean goodies, seafood paella is an international success that has become the most popular of any version of paella and when people order Paella outside of Spain, most expect a seafood paella or a variation of […]
Delicious first course if you like anchovies, I get it, their taste is strong, lots of character, condensed ocean flavor almost, I think if handled judiciously they can be an awesome weapon in your kitchen, and like anything good, best in small doses, right?

Different countries call it different names. More commonly know in the US by […]
I’m still out on vacation but today is my day off… from exploring my surroundings that is, I don’t want to get in the car again today, yesterday I spent most of the day driving (12 hours) and as beautiful as it was and as great as my rental car is, I need one day […]
Ok, it’s been probably 2 weeks without posting a thing… actually what I’m posting tonight I made a few days ago but never had the chance to document it, luckily it got better spending some fridge time which tends to happen with rich complex flavors. Work has been taking up all of my time and […]
I don’t know much about making desserts, I really gotta work on that, the thing is, I’m not crazy about sugar either, not a huge fan of chocolate unless it is nicely sweetened, I do love ice creams, sorbets, sherbets, and custards, and most definitely flan which is basically a custard. Making it is pretty […]
