Here’s my take on a very delicious and strikingly looking Italian dish, risotto Nero, a beautiful and simple risotto cooked in sumptuous squid ink and fish stock. 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 […]
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 […]
