Making ice cream using dry ice and a stand mixer is a extremely fun and easy process, and a great option for those who own a stand mixer but don’t own an ice cream maker… and just so you know, the stand mixer is also OPTIONAL too really, because all you really need is a […]
This is something I made when I was away from my blog during a trip to Hawaii and I’ve been meaning to document it since, I really liked it and I hope you can enjoy it too. My understanding is that a proper bisque uses rice instead of potatoes as the thickener, in this case […]
I have been meaning to write a better post about this dish which I grew up eating. It’s a classic tapas food in any spanish restaurant or cafe. I have added fennel and some parsley to the mix just to spice things up a bit, it works really well with the onions and the potatoes, […]
Ok, this is probably one of the best things to ever have come out of my oven. An accident? very likely! Nutella and Yogurt, what a powerful combination turns out, simple and delicious and they were just sitting in my fridge …and I didn’t want them to go bad (not that nutella ever lasts that […]
Quick appetizer! but you must control that oven at all cost! carry over heat is hard to tame, and the formulas and mind numbing pages and pages of how heat travels through food are very hard to grasp, at least for me. Nothing like testing and trying and taking notes and trying again and learning […]
I don’t think this dish needs much introduction, and although the original paella recipe did probably not feature any ocean goodies, seafood paella is an international success that has become the most popular of any version of paella and when people order Paella outside of Spain, most expect a seafood paella or a variation of […]

The flavor of anchovies can be tamed by soaking them in […]
Arepas are extremely popular in Venezuela, they tend to replace bread at the table, like say what mexican tortillas would be, eaten any time of the day, stuffed with pretty much anything you can think of, as main a dish or side. Different countries call it different names. More commonly know in the US by […]
I’ve been playing with flour and butter for some time now. I had recently attempted a take on blue cheese and raisins gougères, it was quite a disaster honestly, don’t tell anyone. What you can tell everyone is that boiling some water, melting some butter and adding some flour while stirring really really fast can […]
I’ve been meaning to write more on sous vide for a long while, fish and poultry mostly, but have yet to test tougher protein and longer cooking times. When it comes to cooking sous vide, owning a vacuum sealer is pretty convenient and standard practice but not an absolute requirement. I own a VacMaster vp112 […]
