About 3 years ago I decided to learn how to cook. I never thought my interest would last this long but it has, and it never crossed my mind then that I would end up documenting it on a blog. That other cooking blog started about 2 years ago but I only started posting frequently […]
I’ve made this cream of celery and potato and I quite liked it. And it was also very quick to make! This is an easy recipe and it is also a basic preparation for many other similar dishes. I had extra celery in the fridge, and it was begging me to make something with it. […]
Lasagne alla bolognese has to be without a doubt one of the most popular dishes in the western world, it is so good! Simple ingredients, a meat ragu, lasagna noodles, béchamel sauce, some grated cheese, ricotta… ok, this is the list of key ingredients for successful deliciousness right here! But let’s not oversimplify or underestimate. […]
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 […]

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 […]
