A week or so ago I posted the first article of this phone food photography series in which I covered what I consider to be the 5 areas everybody with an interest in improving their photo skills should get pretty good at. I’m trying to keep these tips as short and concise as possible and I hope you find […]
Pan Roasted Halibut : Chorizo and Caper Buttersauce : Kale Summer Salad
Dinner tonight consisted of a really fresh and beautiful piece of halibut I found at the store. The rest of the dish simply highlighted the goodness that was already there. The kale salad I didn’t bother making. I bought it. It looked very fresh and I was too hungry to sit down and julienne carrots […]
Standard Omelette and Canned Sardines : Roasted Leek
Ahmm… yes, It finally happened. A canned product on this blog. I have zero problems with that. I love canned food. It is frowned upon, right? I know that in some places it’s actually well respected and quite a treat. Spain for example has a canning industry that is famous worldwide and extremely popular to locals as […]

Chicken and Potato Salad : Tomatoes : Pickles and Carrots : Chinese Cabbage
First salad of the summer! I’m still busy working on that photo and food styling post but figured I’d take a break (not really) and get some cooking done and blogged. On the photo and styling post I want to go over some basic lighting and composition, and also some color stuff and photo editing. I […]
Poached and Grilled Whole Chicken : Guinness Beer Glaze : Grilled Leeks and Bell Peppers
… 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. […]
Big Night : Cremini Mushroom and Mozzarella Arancini : Lamb Ragu Spaghetti
Say one evening you’re looking for recipes with one idea in mind… to blow somebody’s mind… in that case.. turning to Italy is the most effective choice. Italy has to mean “delicious” in some language I swear. I like cooking… I like cooking a lot, and I’ve tried many things in the kitchen over the last few […]
Cream of Black Beans : Kimchi Juice : Yolk
Not many people are fond of black beans. Count myself out! Love black beans, as a side or as its own dish. Extremely popular in all of latin cuisine, black beans are delicious but ONLY when prepared right. I guess that’s pretty much any ingredient. A few years ago, when I was getting started […]
Tortilla Española : Tortilla de Patatas : Spanish Omelette
A while ago I posted an article about this dish but it’s time to bring it back. Not a whole lot to this recipe. 3 Ingredients (ok, 6 if you count oil, salt and pepper) and 10-15 minutes to make. The technique is quite tricky I have to say, cooking omelets is actually not that easy, […]
Rib Eye : Coffee, Madeira and Tamari Reduction : Baby Rainbow Carrots
I’ve been using instagram more and more these days and I have to say I really like it. Still a bit tricky to get photos from my SLR to my instagram account, but I think I have come up with a decent workflow and in the process I’ve actually discovered some pretty great apps […]
