One day I will write a post a week like I used to back in the old days but I’ve been busy and lacking writing stamina lately. I moved out of that dodgy hotel room months ago and rented an apartment in San Jose, near “smelly” Milpitas but not too close to the landfill-waste-whatever plant so […]
Sous Vide Scallops, Cauliflower and Brown Butter Tahini Sauce.
And….. I’m back! I know it’s been some time (feels like a lifetime) but I had to take care of a number of things before coming back to my blogging world, recharged and ready to continue sharing with you guys all my cooking. I moved out of LA and I’m currently in Sunnyvale, CA for […]
Open omelet with Seafood Squid Ink Rice. Almost a Fail but a Success Story in the End
Food bloggers never screw up! I’ve spent years reading food blogs (exciting life I know) and I’ve fallen in love with so many. Perfect recipes and techniques and execution, not to mention picture-perfect dishes. It is rarely the case a blogger writes about failure but when it does happen it is so refreshing and for […]
Steamed Mussels with Garlic and Parsley
Hey, guys, I’ve been gone for some time so a few updates: This cooking blog is not going away! (more annoying blog writing coming up! ) in fact, I just purchased a new theme and I’m planning the makeover to happen sometime this summer (northern hemisphere summer time). I’m also moving to a new apartment with much […]
Seafood Paella
I love rice and I love seafood. Let’s just say it was about time we made some paella here at that other cooking blog. Wanna get more sous-vide cooking guides and cool cooking how-to’s in your mailbox? You know what needs to be done! Email We never spam. You should only be getting updates […]
Shrimp Tacos
One important fact, at least important to me: This is the 4th taco post on this blog which could possibly be interpreted as a lack of interest in the subject. Quite the opposite. Tacos are a pretty standard in my daily diet, especially recently. I love them. As you know, they’re easy to make and there are […]
Saffron Pasta with Squid and Scallops
Rainy California. Bring it. 40% of the state of California has been declared drought free. Not entirely sure what that means but it has been raining a ton lately and we can only hope it continues to rain for a bit longer. I love it. It’s unusual but we needed some real rain around here but enough […]
Octopus and Squid Ink Farro-Sotto
First of all, happy new year guys! I’m loving it so far. Got my mom and aunt visiting and it’s raining outside. I haven’t been doing a lot of cooking, at least not the kind of cooking I usually do for the blog. Cameras, flashes, all this sous vide stuff… I think I would freak my […]
spooky saffron and squid ink fresh pasta with mussels
Hey guys, so Halloween came and went… so happy belated Halloween to those who care. I’ve never cooked anything special for this day before so I decided I’d try and make some Halloween themed food to switch it up a bit… which really is more about making something up that matches some colours than it is about […]
Sturgeon and Squid Ink Cauliflower Puree.
Having been away from my kitchen for about a month the craving of home cooked meals is tremendous. I’ve been fantasizing about making all these new recipes and the second I get home, my mind goes blank. I can’t even put together a decent sandwich… ok I take that back, mayo and toast is a pretty awesome […]
