Hey guys! hope everybody is doing great! I can’t sleep for whatever reason so instead, I’ll write about food… again. It’s 4:30AM btw and today’s victim is the pork chop. Ah! perfect candidate for sous vide cooking especially when you find the really thick ones. I mean these guys here were almost 2 inches! (all […]
You might remember 2 years ago when I posted my first no-knead bread article. I was happy-ish with the result but the bread wasn’t as airy as I would have hoped even though I had done everything right… or had I? Wanna get more sous-vide cooking guides and cool cooking how-to’s in your mailbox? You know what […]
I’ve always been more drawn to cooking things that take a longer time to make. There’s something really soothing and therapeutic about it not to mention the amplified feeling of accomplishment and the reward at the end of a long cook. Whether you’re slow cooking, sous vide’ing, BBQing, dry curing, aging or fermenting, time plays […]
Japanese chiles are similar to Arbol chiles but milder. I figured they would make a great hot sauce to have around (a little milder compared to what I usually have in stock) and I took the opportunity to introduce a new step (more like a variation of a step) in the process that would help […]
Let me say hi first. It’s been a while since I last added an entry on my blog. I have been bogged down by a recent leg injury that limited my mobility a bit. Still bothers me. It will most likely require surgery according to one of the 5 doctors I saw. It’s a minor procedure […]
This is just a quick and simple fish cake recipe that I have been meaning to post for a while. It’s been sitting in my draft folder with a bunch of other recipes and articles. #bloggerlife. I used Harina Pan to bring it all together. I love this ground pre-cooked coarse corn flour. It’s ready to […]
A sharp knife. When I travel for long periods of time I travel with my knives. Not my favorite knives. Those I leave at home (in case my bags get lost) but I do have a knife bag that comes with me. I also bring one of my immersion circulators and I few other things. […]
This is a really popular cut for dry-curing and a personal favorite. I know there’s some mysticism (sometimes a negative aura) surrounding dry-curing meat at home, as in that it might be dangerous, unsafe. I felt that way once and getting over the fear of screwing up or eating something that would make me sick […]
Yep, review time. This time I got the opportunity to test this cool smoker box from the cavetools guys. I didn’t have time to do a recipe as part of the review so this is going to be about my experience with using the product but before we begin I need to clarify that I don’t own a charcoal grill […]
Hey guys, time for another easy dry-cured recipe with wonderful flavor and a ton of uses. I can’t wait to get this thing all golden crispy-ready to go with my sunnies. Let me start by saying that pancetta is very similar to bacon. Pancetta is made from the belly of a pig and dry-cured for […]
