A few weeks ago the guys at The Wagyu Shop got in touch offered to send me a sample of their wagyu to try (yes, blogging can be pretty awesome sometimes). Ok, this is as cool as it gets for any food blogger who loves beef, especially one that has only had wagyu in his dreams, plus […]
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 […]
It’s been a while since I wrote about traditional comfort food and it has definitely been a while since I’ve made this dish. It’s hard to make this dish without thinking about Julia Child if you live in the US. I went through my Julia Child phase many years ago (not that she invented the […]
To answer this question real quick here: Yes it is. Now the point of today’s post is to disagree with someone’s opinion about cooking sous vide.

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 […]
Hey guys, time for another quick review. The CaveTools guys sent me a pair of these really cool heat-resistant cooking gloves for testing. I have to admit I don’t own a grill right now and to be fair these gloves are better suited for the BBQ fans but they do have a place in the […]
This is not the most common way of roasting a chicken but is definitely one of my favorites although I save it mostly for special occasions. Just because it does take extra time and extra effort that a traditionally roasted chicken wouldn’t require. What’s the point of going through all this extra effort just to […]
Cooking tacos de carnitas sous vide is extremely simple and possibly the best way of cooking pork shoulder in general. Moreover, cooking carnitas sous vide should be in your recipe arsenal if you are looking for a guaranteed crowd pleaser that just requires basically only 20 active minutes of your time. Of course, if you […]
