I might be in over my head when it comes to food science (definitely am), but I will give it my best shot here. What do I have to lose? 4 eggs? that’s worth the risk. We’re going to get down and dirty with this salt-effect-on-eggs business. Please read and don’t make me “begg” yah! […]
If you want to watch a great movie that revolves around passion for food, watch Big Night, super funny, great music, great cast, all the right ingredients and it’s on Netflix But anyways, I mention it, because I’m watching it it while I am trying to make sense of this post. NyQuil is messing with […]
My first time cooking for a a fellow blogger’s project. Last night I prepped this dish as a submission for a fun cooking project at stefangourmet.com, with a few restrictions, this cooking challenge was very attractive, it forced me to leave my comfort zone and try some new flavors and explore chinese cuisine a bit. Base […]
Leaving even a crockpot alone in my apartment freaks me out. The idea of something generating heat and being unattended at the same time is a bit unsettling and has never happened under my watch. I don’t even own a crockpot, but I have an immersion circulator which I’ve used quite a bit but never […]
Really quick dinner recipe, I feel bad because lately I have been neglecting my blog a bit, but not on purpose or because of lack of interest. I do have a day job, and things have been going interestingly to say the least, but I still want to apologize for not posting more frequently. I’m also […]

I have topped this dish with sautéed calamari, with a touch of sweet paprika and deglazed this with a splash of dry Noilly Prat, garnished with some red […]
A simple dish that I love but have never made at home. It was super fun and easy, something that without taking photos and taking notes shouldn’t require more than 20 minutes to whip out! This is kind of a rich dish, proceed with caution! the basic carbonara contains about 4-5 different sources of fat: […]
I had some extra pork belly in my freezer, and it was time to try something new. There is one recipe I’ve always loved eating a restaurants but never tried to cook at home, I actually thought this would be impossible to reproduce, mostly due to my own ignorance about japanese cooking, it is very […]
This is the simplest thing in the world to make, just requires some oven time… or if you prefer, grilling time, the grill is a bit trickier but do not fear it, cooking cuts like these take so long that if you check every now and then, you can prevent any disaster which could be […]
