This presentation can be a bit shocking or lacking refinement to some, although I really hope not. It is very rustic (not primal, come one!) and certainly a bit out of fashion maybe? (not in many countries!) but I really like eating fish this way sometimes. It too keeps me in touch with the fact […]
Nothing like staying in bed on a saturday morning for a bit longer, just a bit longer, specially after friday drinks. What’s better is having breakfast in bed and what would be even better, being able to go back to sleep for another couple hours right after. Enough wishful thinking, but my sleeping in I […]
Finally back with another recipe. It’s taking me forever to edit photos and put together a post these days, must be the lethargy that comes with the summer heat! It is the first day of summer and I want to start this season with one simple lamb dish, some tomatoes, some carrots, cucumbers, and a […]
I have been cooking without too many spices for a long time. I tend to rely more on herbs and seasoning, salt, pepper, I could venture out and use some paprika, love saffron, but have never been big on turmeric or curry for example. The other day I was preparing a dish of south asian […]
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 […]
The luxury of having time to cook something nice in the kitchen, not that common nowadays, is it?, but quick dinners can still be made presentable and delicious. I will use this as an excuse to write about getting a steak dinner done in about 20 minutes and also talk about my experiences searing steak […]
