What about this Boneless Leg of Lamb Easter dinner dish?It’s almost Halloween. It’s never too late to post your easter dinner pics! Actually, it is super late to be talking really BUT never too late to be talking about the best thing I ever had for easter dinner ever, oh no. I’m in the middle of […]
Chicken marsala. What can I say. Italians get it right every time. Every time, it’s pretty amazing and very comforting to know that when in doubt, cook something Italian. This is my first time cooking this dish and because I’m arrogant I tuned it my way and also decided to cook the chicken sous vide […]
I don’t have a kitchen of my own at the moment. I just left my old apartment, the rain and my job in Vancouver and decided to go back to LA, city in which I started my blog a few years ago. I won’t bore anyone with the details of the last 2 months of […]
5 hours is a long time. But if you aren’t dying for an egg right away this might be of your interest. 5 hours at 60C. The yolk is very creamy. The white is very soft but set. I’m sure a degree or two above 60C and less time would render amazing results as well…. […]
Really quick post. Not really a recipe. I mean, the recipe is in the title if anything. Not much more to it other than mentioning that the golden brown crust came from flash frying the whole medallions in Ghee @ 450F for about 15 secs.

I’ve been eating ox tail for a while. Specially when I was a kid. This is the kind of meat that is used to flavour beef soups and makes some wonderful stews. My mom loved using it a lot but hated eating it. She literally set it aside. Not a true carnivore… obviously. Me and […]
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. […]
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. […]
I start every post with a photo. Another fact about this blog. No ads. Ok, another one. It’s not a site about recipes, It’s some sort of cooking journal. I write about adventures in cooking and I share them. That’s how this blog started and that how it stays. One more, ok. As much as I bash on […]
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. […]
