Yikes! that was a long post title! I always struggle with post titles. I wanna summarize what the post is about and not come off entirely lame yet pay attention to SEO hocus-pocus, etc.. but you be the judge. Now, if you don’t care for that sorta thing, I mean, blog post titles… and you want to […]
I love lacto-fermented vegetables. Homemade sauerkraut and kimchi are fun to make and one of the first things I got into when I started this cooking blog. Along with bread making, vegetable fermentation has always been fascinating to me. Recently I’ve started experimenting with a broader spectrum of vegetables, spices, seasonings… the combinations are endless and the flavor […]
Homemade is best. After the first batch, I couldn’t but regret not having done this before. If you think those hot sauces at the store have anything on homemade stuff, think again and the beautiful thing is: Hot sauces are extremely basic and easy to make. Just a few ingredients and cooking is really optional. […]
If you know or you know of somebody that holds the true original recipe for bolognese sauce please report back in the comment section if you can. I’m really curious.

Actually, it is super late to be talking really BUT never too late to be talking about the best thing I ever had for easter dinner ever, oh no. I’m in the middle of […]
I have posted on oven roasted pork shoulder in the past at least once (check out this pork shoulder roast post. It was one of my first posts so be kind…) At the time, I was cooking frantically. I was reading a ton about food and I was trying to learn as quickly as possible how […]
Spaghetti, Cherry Tomatoes, Olive Oil, some garlic and a bit of balsamic. That simple. Mix some diced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, chopped parsley, minced garlic and balsamic vinegar in a pot. Pinch of salt. Cook the pasta al dente in salty water. Strain the pasta. Mix the pasta into the pot with the tomato vinaigrette. […]
I’m sure not most of you out there know about what’s happening in Venezuela. I keep my blog politics free. I’ll make an exception tonight. I will admit that I am EXTREMELY happy with the outcome of the last national assembly elections back home. I hope the 2 parties (winners and losers) figure out a way […]
