The Wings of Change! Miso Glaze….. Never thought it would come to this but here we are, game day, chicken wings. I officially joined the other 3 trillion food blogs featuring wings today in America. Nothing wrong with that. I love those marvellous things so why not make my own wings my own way. I have to […]
The Simplest Roasted Chicken I Can Think of.
On this blog I have a bunch of chicken recipes. Two reasons. It’s delicious but it’s also tricky, right? Anyone can overcook a chicken. I do it all the time. By proper standards the chicken above is overcooked. The only way to not overcook a chicken is to break it down and cook the different muscle […]
Carne Mechada! Celebrating Venezuela and the winds of change!
I’m sure not most of you out there know about what’s happening in Venezuela. I keep my blog politics free. I’ll make an exception tonight. I will admit that I am EXTREMELY happy with the outcome of the last national assembly elections back home. I hope the 2 parties (winners and losers) figure out a way […]
Meat and Potatoes. Sous vide brisket. Baby creamer potatoes. Baby kale Salad.
9:07 PM. For whatever reason today I remembered the worst accidents I’ve had in my kitchen in the last 4 years. I don’t want to forget them I guess. They taught me a lot. I can recall at least 4 relevant ones: Three stitches on my left forearm. Cleaning dishes. Plate slipped from my soapy hands. […]
Beef Brisket Sous Vide. 48h Marinade. 32h 57C
Cooking beef brisket is big deal in the US. A really big deal actually. There are competitions and stuff. Everybody gathers with their families, and their smokers and their secret dry rub recipes and whatnots and spend beautiful summer days on football fields cooking delicious meat that resemble works of art. It’s amazing stuff really. […]
Lamb Shoulder Asada Tacos. Sous Vide 56C 72h. Hoisin Sauce and Chipotle Adobo Sauce.
Counting the seconds to Thanksgiving day but in the mean time no reason to NOT be eating delicious homemade stuff. Specially with this super crap weather we’re having in the beautiful city of Vancouver. Gotta fix my shitty mood somehow. I’ve never made tacos before. I’ve had tacos before. Like a million times. Having lived in LA […]
Pork Ribs Sous Vide. 62C 12h. Freeze 12h Deep-fry 3min.
Summer is long gone and this might seem like a summery thing to eat doesn’t it? I don’t even know why grilling is such a big summer thing. I’d rather grill during cold days and eat pasta salads during summer time. Why stand in the 100F degree weather in front of a 500F hot grill. […]
Chicken Nightmares.
If you’re a bit OCD, you like chicken and you like to cook it yourself , this post might be of interest. I know I keep talking about chicken. I talk about chicken a LOT. Because I love chicken and I can recount the few times I have had a good chicken dish at a […]
Sous Vide Lamb Shank and Sour Spinach Coulis. 72h 55C
Somehow managed to escape the gruelling office hours just before I totally ran out of whatever positive emotional energy I had left in me. This will be a quick post. I have to go back into hiding before anyone finds me. So… Lamb shanks. Yeah! that’s exciting stuff right? The easiest thing in the world too. […]
Sous Vide Blade Roast Marinated in Mirin and Garlic. 12h 52C 24h
I’m officially kicking off fall cooking season with this super quick post. To your relieve it will be extremely short. Actually the recipe and the instructions are pretty much in the post title so if you choose to, you could stop reading here. If you’re still here, let me tell you that it doesn’t really get […]
