It’s always the simple things. In cooking, at least in my experience, a single ingredient cooked simply can steal the show even if it’s the “side” thing. If you like potatoes, this is usually the case. I never thought I’d be writing about baked potatoes on my blog… but I got over myself and did it! […]
Boneless Pork Center Loin Cut Sous Vide. I didn’t even want to eat this thing it looked so damn pretty. Awesome roast..well, a roast of sorts. Having to roast in the oven or on a grill is fun and I love it with all the inaccuracies involved, they still yield delicious results. In our 80F […]
I couldn’t resist the urge to pair a fat juicy pork chop with that beautiful salad from: The Things We Cook. Last week I wrote an article about this cookbook. If you missed it, check it out here! I love pork. I hated pork chops for the longest time. Dry meat, tough texture, like […]
Sous Vide Cornish Hen? What the hell is a Cornish hen and why are they not more popular? At least not in the parts of North America I’ve been to, and that’s Los Angeles and Vancouver. The Cornish hen they sell at supermarkets is a hybrid chicken, a cross between two chicken species and I’m gonna guess […]
… that was a long title…. but certain recipes require long winded descriptions or at least this one does because it’s awesome. Sometimes I get lucky in the kitchen and things turn out the way I imagine… sometimes I don’t. Plenty of kitchen disaster and drama in the past, but not this time. This was pure awesomeness. […]
I roast a chicken every other week on average. I’ve tried many different techniques and many different combinations and it’s hard for me to choose one method over another. Sous vide equipment aside (which yields the juiciest of chickens, sous vide cooking is almost cheating, seriously), the oven can do a pretty good job as well […]
Hey guys! Cold cuts, yeah! I love this stuff. Cold roast beef. Awesome. Top Sirloin makes a pretty damn good roast beef and.. add sous vide into the equation and you end up with super awesome. I’ve been meaning to do more sous vide cooking lately but I tend to get lazy.. the bag, the timing, […]
This finally happened last week. First I got an email form the hotel I was staying that I had received some mail… yeah, really nice. I ran to the hotel which is a block away from my current address and picked up a letter with addresses and names written by hand…, like in the old […]
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 […]
Nothing more soothing and relaxing than roasting a chicken, right? throw the thing in the oven, when house smells of goodness, 45 minutes later, remove and a marvelous deep golden browned chicken graces the dinner table with its presence. But it isn’t that simple, is it? Chickens and ovens are in my opinion a terrible […]
