This dish and I go way way way back in both the preparation and the enjoyment of eating it. You can’t escape it when your grandparents are from Spain. Venezuela (where I’m from) opened the doors to immigrants during WWII and today there is a huge Spanish influence in most aspects of our modern society, […]
Here’s my take on quail scotch eggs. The recipe is rather simple but it does require some attention to cooking times unless you want to serve quail scotch rubber balls. I know it sounds kinda daunting deep-frying a hard-boiled egg, especially a tiny one like a quail egg but it isn’t that hard, like I said, […]
Food bloggers never screw up! I’ve spent years reading food blogs (exciting life I know) and I’ve fallen in love with so many. Perfect recipes and techniques and execution, not to mention picture-perfect dishes. It is rarely the case a blogger writes about failure but when it does happen it is so refreshing and for […]
This is a quick one. Two main ingredients. Eggs and Steak. There were other components on the plate but I chose to leave those out and focus on what I thought mattered… my devoted consistent passion for steak and eggs. Specially eggs. This blog is no stranger to steak and eggs in fact, one of my […]
I’m not a salad kind of guy (way to start off a salad post). I’m more of a bacon, mayo, sunny eggs, rare steaks and anchovies kinda guy but it’s spring time, basically salad season. I don’t hate them either, I just don’t think they’re as exciting to prep as so many other things but […]
This is probably the least exciting recipe I’ve posted on this blog so far but hey, I love egg potato salad, I stand by it and if you had asked me 6 years ago if I knew how to make it I would have said… “make it? you get it at the store, who makes […]
Eggs, Pisto and Pork Bits! Yeah, this is gonna be a quick update and a quick recipe. I have finally migrated my old wordpress.com site entirely over to this new .org world. Wasn’t easy. Today I spend the day redirecting URLs, optimizing images, fixing broken links. This the the cool thing about self-hosting. You have […]
If you’re from Spain or South America, you’re familiar with this messy egg presentation. I love eggs even raw. And a perfectly cooked egg in my opinion should never brown, should never bubble up, yolk should never set. That’s how I like to cook my eggs most of the time. But sometimes, just sometimes, all the food technique […]
And… back to more budget cooking. Easy Creamy Mushroom Crepes. Fall is here, which means… at least in my world… more exciting cooking. I’m all for quick summery meals, but the real fun begins when slow cooking kicks in. This recipe today might be one of my last summery meals of the year… with some exceptions […]
A while ago I posted an article about this dish but it’s time to bring it back. Not a whole lot to this recipe. 3 Ingredients (ok, 6 if you count oil, salt and pepper) and 10-15 minutes to make. The technique is quite tricky I have to say, cooking omelets is actually not that easy, […]
